I have a habit of folding any piece of paper or carton.
And I'm sorry, I didn't have much time to think about
MacroMondays this week either, but I wanted to participate...
So, I shot one tiny carton box for soft fruit candy folded by me and lighted by two flashlights from front and back. The colourful side is under and the colors just shows up because of the light in the back.

At the Wooden Boat Festival the 1913 Schooner Adventuress it taking folks for a cruise with some hands-on sail work.
The schooner Adventuress crew members are assisting some of us in doing some sail handling. Only the crew members were allowed to hang out over the stern. We are accordion-folding the huge mainsail into a neat stack as the gaff is lowered. There is a pattern to it as folks on opposite sides push the folds in place. The mainsail is about the size of a basketball court. www.soundexp.org
On a dull rainy day, but still a beautiful old terrace.

When I got back from my recent trip to South America I found my roses that just about finished their first flush of spring blooms. Here are the soft folds of my light pink Mother and Daughter Rose.
First make your paper strips then a few, many origami like moves and magically a star appears. The hands of an older lady as she conquers a new skill. It is a wet Friday morning here but the weekend is coming. Hope you have a good one.

On the track down from Bláhnúkur (The Blue Mountain) I was caught by soft mellow purple evening light. My favorite light at on of my favorite locations. A moment of zen ...

Nature’s sunshine in winter...English daisies. These little sunbursts are suddenly popping up everywhere in the fields around the farm. Spring is definitely around the corner!
English daisy flowers (Bellis perennis L.), commonly known as lawn daisy or European daisy, its petals fold up at night and open again with the sun. It is a perennial with short creeping rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves that are from 3/4 to 2 inches (approx. 2–5 cm) long and grow flat to the ground.
The species habitually colonises lawns, and though invasive, it is still considered a valuable ground cover where low growth and some color is desired with minimal maintenance while helping to crowd out noxious weeds once established.

...time folds. And you find yourself overlaying the present with a moment from the past. And your experience of things builds in strange ways and those folds become more intricate. We bob and weave, duck and dive through it. There are moments when we're invisible to ourselves and others when we're in many moments at once. And all the time we're edging forward, but it's slow and fast at once. We're so impatient we don't see how steadily we're hurtling through it, using it all up.

The desert night lay hushed, a vast stage of silence. On a jagged outcrop, a lone coyote stood rigid—its silhouette carved against the pallid glow. The sands shimmered faintly, stars burning overhead, while the breeze whispered across the dunes.
By the fire, Reed and Butler sat listening to the crackle and pop of the flames. Old friends since school, they made this pilgrimage to the desert twice each year, trading stories before sleep claimed them. A final cup of coffee, then the night would close.
Reed paused. Something stirred. The coyote was gone from the rock. Then—again—a sound. Low, wet, gurgling. Just beyond the firelight. His eyes strained, but the blaze blinded him to the dark.
The glare broke with motion. A monstrous shape vaulted over the fire. Claws like scythes tore into Reed’s chest. Butler screamed, scrambling to rise, but the beast was upon him in an instant. The desert swallowed their cries. In seconds it was over.
Its grotesque head swiveled, yellow eyes burning as they swept the camp for movement. Sand still clung stubbornly to its charred scales, its body etched with blisters from radioactive earth.
Hatched prematurely it had been placed in an incubator, a device that ultimately led to its survival in more ways than one.
From the poisoned sands near the crater at what had been Site N39, crazed and more vicious than those before, it had clawed its way free.
Ravenous hunger gnawed at every fiber.
Now, it would feed.

Here's a link to my other Flickr photos/ images:
Folding Waves ... from the moment I started photography I have been intrigued by shutter speed ... especially at the shoreline. Taken earlier in the year from Clogher beach Dingle ... Co Kerry . I think I spent 3 hours shooting just the waves alone . Focal length was 300 mm with Olympus OMD EM1 M3 with Panasonic 100-400 mm at half a second shutter with the aid of Nisi little stopper . Equivalent full frame of 600 .
The most westerly hills of the Indo-Myanmar hills, where the Brahmaputra delta becomes crumpled and uplifted above the subduction zone between India and Myanmar.
In a total style switch-up, I've gone from low key shots to this high key one. I also ran it through some fun Topaz filters.
This is a quilt I worked on years ago, and never finished. The quilt style is called "Cathedral Window". I was making it for my daughter, when she was a child, for her home, if she ever grew up and got married.
Well, now, as of Thursday, she is married, and there is still only about one sixth of a quilt. Sigh.
Anyway, I put some bluish lights behind it, to show through the fabric, between the colored pieces, so that's what that is, if you were wondering.
The whole quilt is put together from these little squares I fold and sew together, like the one in front, with the scissors.
I know it looks orange in the photo, but it is really pink and purple.
Happy Alphabet February y'all!

After being under the doc's orders not to lift or "wrestle" anything for the last several weeks, I was finally able to set up the aforementioned studio and play. Red roses were at the top of my agenda. This is the first result. There will be more. (evil grin)
