A flatlay with one of my orange minis. I have been looking for the colouring book on my bookshelves for a while and rediscovered it today (yes I have far too many books when a book this size can get 'lost') and it was a good opportunity to do another hoop flatlay.

Pentax has a rich history in film photography, dating back to the 1950s when it introduced the iconic Asahi Pentax, one of the first cameras to feature a pentaprism, giving the brand its name. Over the decades, Pentax developed a reputation for producing reliable, innovative film cameras like the Pentax Spotmatic and K1000, beloved by professionals and enthusiasts alike. As digital cameras took over, Pentax maintained its loyal film base. In 2024, the brand revived its film heritage with the release of the Pentax 17, seamlessly blending classic analog charm with modern technology—a development that thrilled film enthusiasts like myself.

Crazy Tuesday - Knolling

I bought a heap of colour pencils which I will give to my great-granddaughter for her colour-in books. If I draw or write I use a lead pencil.....

We had a staff member retire today and during the Teams meeting party, everyone had lemon cupcakes. They were delicious.

A guy riding his bike across Lake Superior on this chilly Family Day in Ontario, I don't think I would be brave enough to do this.

Another "lockdown" project shot in my garage...using a light pad as a background a la Mandy Disher. Have updated the file since first posting as felt it needed a tad more contrast in the flower heads.

HSS!

Have a peaceful and safe Christmas!

You asked me to meet you in the park, saying that we could get a lot more done in a relaxing environment. Little did I know how false that turned out to be. We spent more time tossing macarons at one another and getting lost in each other’s eyes then we did doing any sort of studying. But it was all worth it to me.

"She sells seashells on the seashore.

The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure.

For if she sells seashells on the seashore,

Then I'm sure she sells sea shore shells."

Shells found in Pensacola, Florida, after Hurricane Michael.

207/365: I went lavender picking the other day, at our local lavender farm. I can't think why when I have plenty in the garden but it's a nice thing to do.

I'm going to be away for a few days with no internet access. This means I will fall behind with posting and commenting. I'll catch up as soon as I can. Wishing you all a great weekend.

I like things in order...but my silverware drawer never stays this way for long because.....well, because I don't live alone. 😉

…it’s an old shot, I just thought I’d give it some extra exposure (dreadful pun intended)

14/52 {Seasons 2019} My Diary

Un lugar al que quiero ir.

Hay tantos lugares a los que quiero ir...

De todos ellos, Vietnam está en previsión.

Im Nachlass meiner Eltern habe ich diese Beweise für Ihre Sparsamkeit gefunden. Stifte wurden solange genutzt, bis man sie nicht mehr anspitzen konnte ...

Und es ging nicht nur um das Sparen. Wir wurden zur Achtsamkeit der Umwelt gegenüber erzogen. Papier wurde gespart, um die Bäume zu verschonen und die Umweltbelastung durch die Papierherstellung zu minimieren. Wir erfuhren, wie viele Bäume für Hefte und Bücher sterben mussten und wie schädlich die Papierindustrie für die Umwelt ist. Ein beeindruckender Film über die umstrittene Zellulosefabrik am Baikalsee war Pflichtprogramm von der Schule aus.

So nutzten wir selbst die Bons aus Registrierkassen (damals noch aus richtigem Papier) als Notizzettel. Die Rückseite war ja nicht bedruckt.

Jedes Brettchen und Leistchen wurden aufgehoben, weil man es ja vielleicht noch gebrauchen konnte.

Die viel zitierte "Mangelwirtschaft" in der DDR hatte auch so sein Gutes. An Neues war schwer ranzukommen. So glitt man von der "schlechten Zeit" nach dem Krieg nicht in eine fette "Wirtschaftswunderphase", sondern kultivierte die Nutzung vorhandener Ressourcen. Upcycling war selbstverständlich. Nur hieß es damals "aus Alt, mach Neu" ...

Auch Recycling wurde groß geschrieben. Das hieß dann "Sekundärrohstoffgewinnung" - kurz SERO. Einmal im Monat zogen die Schulklassen mit Handwagen los und klingelten an jede Tür, um Altpapier, Glas und Schrott einzusammeln. Die Leute kannten die Termine und sammelten bis dahin alles, was anfiel. Die Schüler brachten diese Schätze dann zum Altstoffhandel bzw. zur "Sekundärrohstofferfassungsstelle". Der Erlös landete in der Klassenkasse. Davon wurden Wandertage oder sogar Klassenfahrten finanziert.

Flatlay interpretation!

I bought some fresh tulips today while I was at the store getting a couple of things for tonight's supper. It is hard to choose which colour to buy and if I was rich I'd buy them all! Haha! I decided on these red tulips as I usually don't see this colour variety. I also thought they would go well with the hearts since Valentine's Day is around the corner. ❤️

Thanks for your visit! I hope you had a great day!

Today I baked some oatmeal muffins to have for snacks for the busy week ahead.

I hope everyone had a great Sunday! Thanks for your visit!

Coffee time.

Medio mundo es amante del té y el otro del café. Yo soy parte de los segundos.

apples!

Haha, unknowingly, I seem to come up with a menu.

I'm currently suffering from my 20-hr binge watch last weekend. I should not have ignored responsibility when it came crying in the background.

Have joined a group that "Practices Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Beauty". It's a rock painting group and we get together paint rocks, and put them in public places for people to find.

A selection of wild and garden spring flowers and leaves on a verdigris copper background.

I have received SO many bouquets since Dad passed that I'm running out of places to put them, but I have cherished each and every one as they've arrived. Each bouquet has a variety of different flowers.
