The kitchen is a dangerous place, this may be one of the reasons why I avoid it whenever I can. :)
Taken for the Smile on Saturday theme "On Forks".
HSoS !
She thinks she's the bees knees with her raspberry beret lol. For today's theme "berries & cherries". I don't have any cherries but these berries were happy to help.
Seen rolling along the Pittsburgh Line in Central Pennsylvania. Rather, smelled rolling along.
I liked the googly eye someone put on the horse on the nose.

For this month's theme 'Chair'.
I decided on a different take on the theme, using this tiny deckchair and a Margo mini me to sit on it, so she's sitting on the chair, but in fur form :) The tiny biscuit nose was her reward for good behaviour.
No avocado went to waste after this pic. It was enjoyed in a sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato.
I drew inspiration from my Flickr buddy Simon for this.
(www.flickr.com/photos/horsesqueezing/) Last year he completed his 366 by posting a googly eye pic every day.
Thanks for the inspiration Simon x

For the theme "Quotes" for SOS group.
So many possibilities for this, but Stavros, my googly eyed cactus caught my eye and the rest is history :) I agree with the quote, I think I'm 'creatively different' lol, 'normal' is overrated anyway!
Robin Williams, a comic genius, gone too soon!
I went to our annual pumpkin exhibition today which started a few days ago. There were a lot of people because we still have school holidays here and I didn't take many photos but I will go there again soon anyway. Instead of photos I came home with some pumpkins as decorations and photo props. The cats weren't particularly impressed. Cleo looked at them for a split second and disappeared in the basement. Linus lost interest when he realized that the pumpkins don't move and are too heavy to kick them around. Fynn tried to be polite and have a conversation with googly-eyed pumpkin ( the eyes are my addition) but pumpkins aren't very communicative and Fynn gave up soon.
The greenhouses at the park aren't always open but if they are I sneak inside because I know that you find interesting things in there. Last Sunday I found something really special, a Cactopus. Okay, originally it didn't have eyes but I thought that a Cactopus should see something and therefore added a pair of googly eyes. :)
Rosarote falsche Wimpern. Für einen verdrehten Blick in den Himmel.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Admittedly – if you look closely – the view of the sky is a little disturbed by someone who produces false eyebrows ... And it could also turn out to be difficult to see the sky clearly at all with the cross-eye view ... Or maybe does this being roll its eyes here because I disturb it? Anyway – chic eyelashes, right?
///
Zugegeben – wenn man genau hinsieht – wird der Blick gen Himmel ein wenig gestört durch einen Falsche-Augen-Brauen-Produzierenden ... Und es könnte sich auch als schwierig herausstellen, bei dem Silberblick den Himmel überhaupt klar zu sehen ... Oder vielleicht verdreht dieses Wesen hier die Augen, weil ich es störe? Wie auch immer – schicke Wimpern, oder?

Ingredients: googly eyes (bought for my daughter's handicrafts – at the time still small), pink petals (fan flower), yellow cardboard (background), glass box (spacer), daylight (shining on the garden table outside last week)

#MacroMondays 2021 / Juli 26 / #Eye / Good vibes and HMM to everyone!
I post this photo for the Smile on Saturday group theme "Oil on water". Playing around with oil and water was a new experience for me and it's quite surprising what kind of effects you can create. I admit that I may have gone slightly overboard by creating a bubble monster ... HSoS !
"Freaky Fruits" is this week's theme of the Smile on Saturday group. I tried to find an oddly shaped fruit at the local market today but they all looked pretty normal and boring which meant that I had to revert to some good old creativity. The fruits staring in this crazy photo are: pear, kiwi, cherries, avocado, lemon, passion fruit, prickly pear and apple. HSoS ! :)
Und ich werde singen und tanzen. Mit weit geschlossenen Augen.

That’s my thing. At least dancing – and maybe sometimes with open eyes. Singing in the choir is unfortunately still canceled, I have to do that for myself for a while, like dancing ... In addition to the motif with the sheep, there was another one in the magazine that I couldn't resist – as hair accessories the googly eyes are also good ;-)
///
Das ist ganz mein Ding. Zumindest Tanzen – und vielleicht manchmal mit geöffneten Augen. Singen im Chor fällt leider immer noch aus, das muss ich jetzt, auch noch eine Zeit für mich alleine tun, wie das Tanzen ... Neben dem Motiv mit den Schafen gab es noch ein weiteres in dem Magazin, dem ich nicht widerstehen konnte – als Haarschmuck machen sich die Kulleraugen doch ebenfalls gut ;-)

Eyes Wide Shut / Bukahara / live
Taken for the theme of "nuts and bolts" in the SOS group.
Plain nuts & bolts just didn't inspire me, but I had fun creating these owls with a tea towel as a backdrop. Nuts for eyes and bolts for beaks, the googly eyes brought them to life :)
You know that it's Easter when your breakfast eggs are suddenly staring at you .... :)
Thanks to Kerri Lee Smith and Chickpeasrule for the inspiration. It was fun to play around with my Easter eggs and they look quite cute with their googly eyes. I will have problems to find a volunteer who is willing to eat them now as they are far TOO cute.
Happy Easter, everyone !
"I honestly don't think that I want to take a relaxing bath in boiling hot water", said the tea bag. It didn't have to as I don't like tea and only needed a photo for this week's 'Smile on Saturday' group theme 'Tea-rific'. Although I don't drink tea I know that usually the tea bag goes in first and the hot water afterwards but I had to change the rules as I wanted the steam in my photo. Let's call it artistic freedom. :) HSoS !
Sieht anders aus. Sollen wir es aufnehmen?

Let's hope so. I ask for it. In any case, on this photo from a large-format magazine that I used for the background, it looks very cozy – as close as the sheep are standing together here. It doesn't matter that one of them has dark fur sprouting out of the skin. Nobody has to open their eyes and gawk ...
///
Das wollen wir doch mal hoffen. Ich bitte darum. Auf diesem Foto aus einem großformatigen Magazin, das ich für den Hintergrund verwendet habe, sieht es jedenfalls sehr kuschelig aus – so eng wie die Schäfchen hier zusammenstehen. Da tut es nichts zur Sache, dass aus dem einen dunkles Fell aus der Haut sprießt. Da muss niemand die Augen glotzend aufreißen ...

#SmileOnSaturday / #ManyIdenticalThings
Posted for the Smile on Saturday theme "Natural Stones".
There are many stones in our garden but occasionally the gardener frog finds a special one. :)
HSoS !
This is a googly eye bird. This time they're a bit like Barbie doll's eyes. This yellow flower plant is huge. Up to second floor hight. I don't know what it is. Flower buds look like lily's but there are no lilies.
Noisy Miner eating big flowers at my neighbour, NSW Australia
"I am not a penguin!"
This noisy miner was posing for me, or at least staring right at me till I burst into laughing 😄
at Meadosbank Park, NSW Australia
One from the archives for today's theme of "Fluffy"
Evie's paw made into a dog, with a cat biscuit nose & paper tongue :)
The colourful Easter eggs made a cheerful sight although they looked slightly worried. No need to panic, though, as I didn't eat them. I don't like eggs for breakfast but even more important is that I don't eat anything with eyes. :)
Well he is if you're a good dog, not sure about Olive lol, must be on the naught list :)
This took some fiddling and patience, Olive wanted to grab the hats and run lol.
An old one but still amuses me :) Be careful toothbrush, the grass isn't always greener lol.
Taken for the group theme 'brush'. I almost forgot, so a quick one :)
Sadly my macro lens has 'died' :( so more of a close up
Someone cheeky put googly eyes on a pipe : ))
... seen on a stroll through the city center
Love and Peace !!

I will try to catch up on Sunday evening as I am not at home right now - please take care !
This is for Kerri's theme 'Yellow'. Lots of possibilities, but for some reason this appealed to me :)
Find a suitable plant pot, fill with compost, plant the chickpea and label. Watering to follow lol.
For today's theme of 'Vases and flower pots'. in SOS.
... of sprinkles
For Smile on Saturday's #sprinkles theme
...a fabulous excuse to use as many 'sprinkles' from my craft box as I could (photogenically) manage
I found this cactus at the park this morning. Apparently he was as surprised to see me as I was to meet him. :)
Posted for the Smile on Saturday theme "Capture the C".
The theme this week is "Rock" so many possibilities but I had to try some 'rock people' again, so here we have Rocketta on the left and Rocco :)
I visited the beach this morning with Evie, she spent most of her time in the sea splashing about, one very happy dog :) She ignored these creations, preferring the natural pebbles lol.
My photostream is lacking some colour and so I decided to take a photo of this sunny yellow pepper bell wearing a tomato hat. The cheerful cat in the background is a scratch board for the cats which I tacked to the door of a wardrobe after the cats had sharpened their claws on that door far too often. Needless to say that no cat has ever been interested in that scratch board.
I add a photo in the comments which shows the Dragon helping with the vegetable photo shoot. His job was to make sure that the pepper and tomatoes wouldn't run away. I suppose they knew that they would end up as my lunch after that short moment in the spotlight.
..... like spending time in a sunflower field.
I returned to the sunflower field today, this time equipped not only with the camera but also with a set of googly eyes. A volunteer was easy to find and sunflower could finally see the bees for the first time. I think you can say that it was quite a surprise, I swear that I heared the "ooooh" loud and clear when the first bumble bee landed. The insects were slightly confused too as they are not used to a sunflower watching them while they are feeding on pollen and nectar. I removed the eyes when I left as I didn't want to confuse the owner of the field. And it's not good if a sunflower sees too much.
The next #MacroMondays theme (5/5) is stickers. As luck would have it, I have a bunch of googly eyes stickers!! I think I’m going to have some fun affixing them to various objects!!
......(later in the week) Got waylaid from that project by the sparkly stickers instead.
And the album of all the sticker possibilities:

Taken for the "Looking close... on Friday!" group theme, Nuts!
I wasn't sure what to do but found some autumn leaves and hazelnuts, just added a bit of imagination :) I think I might go nuts soon, currently self isolating due to Covid, been in contact with someone who tested positive.
.... like something annoying turning into fun.
I have already mentioned that my niece Natalie has moved into my guest room for a while but tends to cause chaos because she leaves her stuff everywhere. Sometimes I really have enough of stumbling over her shoes wherever I go. I have found out, though, that my negative feelings towards the shoes suddenly change when I use them for a photo shoot, especially if some googly eyes are involved. :)
