Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and we have Mr. Teddy Bear with us to celebrate Happy Teddy bear Tuesdays. And the theme at Crazy Tuesday is Folded or Creased Paper.

This is a perfect day for Mr. Teddy Bear to daydream about sailing on his blue paper boat. Mr. Teddy Bear has a passion for sailing and a passion for boats. So that is why he has so many paper boats ! Once he starts to fold the paper he can’t stop and he has to make several boats of the same color. And then he makes one extra just in case ! That is why Mr. Teddy Bear has more and more paper boats in his house. He can hardly wait to be able to take his boats outside and go on a romantic get away with Princess… Spring is definitely here so it will not be long until sailing is enjoyable again !

Meanwhile, I have to « sail » in a general direction of my living room office !See you later my friends !! And have a beautiful day !

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Let me introduce this little man, the very important Magic-Santa Claus and his first-and-only Assistent. They work in a top secret place and have a very important task to perform.

Do you know how all those big presents fit into the tiny sacks, that all Santa's carry? Well, this little Magic-Santa Claus has great magical powers and transforms everything into very tiny and very light objects, so the Santa's don't have to carry too much weight either.

Once touched by a human the presents immediately change back into their normal proportions. This process is so quickly, not noticeable for the human eye.

I was able to visit them, but I don't remember how ............. Suddenly I was there and then the next moment back in my house again.

All that's left is this one and only photo of them... I think Magic-Santa Claus put a spell on me too ;-)

There is a tutorial, if you want to fold it too. Happy folding ;-)

Another one from the visit to the metal sculpture's place. I printed some images for my friend and when I looked at this one I asked myself "is this from the beach somewhere?" Until I realized it was the wrong way round. I took this in portrait mode but decided I like it better landscape.

This is polished metal and I liked the pale blue shades.

Thanks very much if you have time for a comment or fave or invite.

Macro-Mondays-High Key

I used the High Key setting in my camera for this shot.

The Upstate, NY area is covered in these lovely white asters. As the petals age, they fold under and fall off. Then the center, where the seeds are, dries and turns a deep brown shade. Birds will feed on the seeds in the winter.

The Packard 443 model was unveiled on July 1, 1927. These new “Big Eight” models were still considered part of the 4th series of Packard and all rode on an imposing 143” wheelbase chassis. The Packard 443 catalog offered no less than twenty different body arrangements, ensuring that all individual tastes were well suited. While approximately 7,800 443 chassis were built for 1928, the varying bodies meant that individual production numbers were quite low, with open bodied cars being procured by the most affluent of clientele. Body style 311 was the Custom Eight 443 5-passenger Phaeton – a very imposing aesthetic for the Great Depression era. The Custom Eight 443 Phaeton featured dual side mounts spares and numerous accessories including a folding luggage rack with a removable trunk as well as a rear folding tonneau windshield that could be adjusted by the rear passengers. Today, the Packard 443 Phaeton is considered to be one the marque’s greatest models because it achieved a level of engineering, style and luxury that could only come from Packard.

Macro Mondays theme: "Crinkled, wrinkled, folded or creased".

This is a close up section of an iconic Le Klint 172 Light Pendant. Designed in 1971 by Architect Poul Christiansen, it is hand folded to produce a playful and fluent shape. HMM...

I didn't like the dress, so, I photographed the fabric.

Ella was the type to lean a little more towards ‘live and let live’ when given the chance, but she didn’t take lightly being cheated or otherwise done wrong. It was the principal of the thing that she tended to take issue with. Even on the wrong side of the law, she still had a moral compass, though perhaps it didn’t always point due north.

Ella had met her share of shady characters throughout her travels. There was always some degree of dishonesty to a man, she reckoned, but it was all about how much you could live with at the end of the day.

Unfortunately, they’d pin these little tin stars to just about anyone’s chest that would have them, and sadly, hiding behind that little star tended to make a slightly bent man break completely bad.

Ella could wager the lawman had no clue what he was doing when he made eyes for the dappled stud she rode into town on, and she had hard money on the fact that he had no idea what he was calling down on himself when he pulled his gun on her, telling her she’d make it to see another day if she just handed over the reins. Little did he know…

There were few things she held in high regard these days, with all the hard living she’d come to know so well, but Mille and the dappled palomino were two things she held dearest. A history of loyalty had tied them together, and it would take more than some twisted town sheriff to pull them apart.

There are times when knowing when to fold means living to see another day, and though the reins about burned her hand as she handed them over, she knew she’d be seeing the man again, and very soon.
