I've been working extra hours and have been extra busy which does not leave me much time for 365 and Flickr. The weekend is almost here though.
Thanks for your visit. I hope you all had a great day. 🌷
“To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep....” The Byrds
If you look carefully at the wreath pictured, you will see seasons of the year that many of us celebrate. This year, at this time, we are celebrating at home, often without being surrounded by family and friends. Let’s hope that soon a new season will bring hope and healing. Turn, turn, turn.....

#Knolling
Something strange happened: I had my MM image photographed and processed by Friday evening. That's a first ;)
When we had "Knolling" as a theme for the first time, I'd skipped, because I simply couldn't think of anything to knoll, let alone how to arrange it nicely. So this time I wanted to meet the challenge. My idea was to choose tiny things that I have collected as macro props over the years. But then the porcelain cat pendant that I keep in a small glass bowl together with other souvenirs and lucky charms caught my eye. And that gave me the idea to knoll some of my lucky charm keepsake pendants of which you already have seen three in MM themes: the silver heart, the tiny golden key, and the pendant with my zodiac sign engraved. Other than that most of these pendants are "animal themed", they also share their "fate" of never being actually worn – with the exception of the Cancer sign pendant which I got for my 7th birthday on a holiday in Italy. I think I have worn that from time to time, later it was attached as a lucky charm to the keyring/carabiner hook I keep my apartment keys on. The other pendants are presents or souvenirs from my childhood (the heart, the elephant, the bird), more recent presents (the key), and souvenirs from holidays (the porcelain cat, and the tiger cat which I brought along from Passau).
Size info: I decided to use the entire 7,5 cm / 3 inches frame (width) for "Knolling", negative space and image border (which is an overlayed, slightly transparent border, not an extra frame) included, so the items wouldn't be too cramped and the image could breathe. I didn't want to take the "mugshot with ruler", but the tiny key can serve for scale because it is exactly 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches long.
The final image is an in-camera focus stacking made of 15 photos. I've arranged the items on my tablet case, a totally random choice, because I'd only collected all pendants on my tablet simply because it lay right next to the glass bowl. But the case's light blue, textured surface made for a surprisingly nice-looking backdrop, and it also looked fresher than the gold-coloured cardboard or wooden coaster I'd originally wanted to use as background. Processed in Lightroom and Color Efex (Detail Extractor).
HMM, and Happy Easter Monday, Everyone!

Nur ein Frühstück. Für Linkshänder.

Simply done with the left. Mainly anyway. And I didn't have to use scissors for this, because they are difficult for left-handers. Just as many tools are not necessarily suitable to be used with left-hand use. Have you ever used a beveled spatula with your left hand? We are in the minority, but anyone who does everything with the left can understand it and may have noticed that the cup handle and spoon are oriented to the left here ... It was also always a big challenge for me, for example, throwing the sling ball or the shot put correctly – I always had to do everything the other way around. But in the high jump (the other way around) I was very good. Well – the Olympic Games are now over ;-) And I have arranged myself quite passably over the years, I don't want to complain ;-) Oh yes, and by the way ... this view from above shows my morning coffee with milk and a porridge-oatmeal-blueberry-maple-syrup-creation, topped with the rest of the milk foam from the coffee ;-) Very tasty.

Einfach mit links gemacht. Jedenfalls hauptsächlich. Und ich musste dafür keine Schere benutzen, die ist nämlich schwierig für Linkshänder. So wie viele Werkzeuge nicht unbedingt geeignet sind, um sie mit links zu verwenden. Habt Ihr schon einmal einen abgeschrägten Bratenwender mit links benutzt? Wir sind in der Minderheit, aber wer alles mit links macht, kann es nachvollziehen und hat vielleicht bemerkt, dass der Tassenhenkel und der Löffel hier links orientiert sind ... Auch war es für mich immer eine große Herausforderungen, z. B. beim Schleuderballwerfen oder Kugelstoßen richtig zu werfen – ich musste immer alles anders herum machen. Aber im Hochsprung (anders herum) war ich sehr gut. Nun – die Olympischen Spiele sind ja nun auch wieder vorbei ;-) Und ich habe mich über die vielen Jahre ganz passabel arrangiert, ich will nicht meckern ;-) Ach ja und übrigens – diese Ansicht von oben zeigt meinen morgentlichen Milchkaffee und eine Porridge-Haferflocken-Heidelbeer-Ahornsirup-Kreation, getoppt mit dem Rest des Milchschaums vom Kaffee ;-) Ganz lecker.

#SmileOnSaturday / #FlatLay
For Smile on Saturday - Herbs
I haven't done a flat lay for a while and this is a bit later than I planned but had a surprise visit from my beautiful grandson...in the garden at a distance of course but still a lovely surprise.
Here is a link to the song from way back...just to give you an ear worm ;) HSoS

We are so fortunate to have a farm 1 mile from home. Alex is doing his best to keep the farm going but the drought is making things difficult. Thank you, Alex!

15 of 25 Days of Christmas
I saw this in a magazine, Real Simple. It was an article on how to make brown paper packages look nice. It said, "Sketch a jar on your paper with a white wax pencil, then tie a few small springs of dried flowers and foliage to the box with a simple piece of twine." I thought it was a lovely idea but instead of doing it on a package I did it on a piece cardboard. I thought I would put it in a shadowbox or frame and set it out. It is very classy for Christmas, I think.
Fun Fact: I did not use a wax pencil. I don't even know what that is, haha. I used chalk and it worked great. :)
Day 315/365:
Another day, another flat lay. If I had the inclination I would have gone back to the drawing board and moved the pin box a little further down and to the right.

For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #TheOddOne
Happy Macro Monday!

Day 150/365:
Back in the swing of the flat lay again although this could be the last for a while. But I do like to make the most of my flowers.
Making huge progress on a work project so I thought I would pop in and post this image created for the
theme:
Dead Stuff
As this was taken a while ago, we have planted all of our seeds and are watching the little green bits pop out of the ground.
Take good care everyone!
A quick and easy flatlay set up for today.
Thanks for your visit. I hope everyone has had a great day!
