Flatlay interpretation!

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.

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!

32/52 {Seasons 2019} My Diary

Coffee time.

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

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!

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.

A colorful and tasty dessert created from seasonal fruits. Classic picnic tablecloth background. Family get together tradition.

Banana with her curlers out and all the fun beauty accessories we've used through the month.

Thank you all so much for such a fun month of Blythe and Beauty <3

A natural flat lay :))))

I found an ancient copy of Practical Photography magazine - remember it? It's not published any more unfortunately. A feature on still life ideas caught my eye, so I've spent a couple of weeks searching for a suitable pencil sharpener. Not easy in lockdown but a neighbour found one. So after an evening of fiddling and adjusting minute details, hey presto, a zip. #37 Flat lay for the group challenge 121 pictures in 2021

Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.

My apricot raisin toast is shaped like two footprints. Apricot raisin bread from COBS bread bakery.

This is a flat-lay standing up. My grandson set the animals people and other props up.

Flat lay may be my new thing :)

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.

Compositionally Challenged Week 38 - Clothing Photography

CC Rainbow Game - Orange

T-shirt, socks, gloves, scarf, watch, earrings, wallet

Black and white bottle caps in colour.

CC Week 46 - Flat Lay and Knolling

My dog volunteered to help me out with this shot.

This was a fun one. I decided to incorporate the love of travel with photography. Mostly I shoot digital, but I included the camera I purchased in 1980 when I was in high school. I also included my passport, a map and travel book of Ireland and photos I took while I was there.

Flat lay genre. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

Sea fan and whelk egg cases found in Jensen Beach. Photo taken from a bird's eye view--Flat Lay photography for Crazy Tuesday this week.

Another hoop flatl ay, this time using my led hoop.

A challenge started by Deanne Love on Instagram, which now has well over a 1000 photos with the tag myfavhoop. There are some lovely and creative images.

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.

41/52: The weekly challenge - Pink

I do love a bit of pink so this theme wasn't to difficult.

Props include hand warmers knitted by me, bias binding from a vintage craft shop in Melbourne and a cup and saucer from Victoria, Vancouver Island. I do love things that bring back wonderful memories of my travels.

We are going to be away for a couple of days and I may not have internet access. will catch up when back. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

I listened to a podcast on Instgram by Deanne Love this morning and then got carried away with a photo challenge set by Deanne.

'Grab your fav hoop, put on some cool tunes, then GO! Collect as many things in your house that match your hoop 😊 Make some circle art, take a flat lay pic and share it

It has really taken off on Instagram myfavhoop with many people (including me) doing it with more than one hoop.

A little bit of fun during lockdown. I enjoyed myself doing these flatlays and this is probably my favourite - so I'm using it for:

120 pictures in 2020 (97) simple pleasures

Colourful buttons shot on a light pad and then repeated and distorted in Photoshop to create this bit of fun 'art'

Some of my photos made into refrigerator magnets.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.

Thanks very much for your visit, comments and faves! HSoS!

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.

I'm going to love this week! Flat lays are one of my favorite things to do! I'm not sure how modern this is, but I think having to remind people to be kind is a modern thing. I don't remember having to be told this when I was growing up, we just tried our best to be.
