Handle on my mantel clock. It is a little less than 3" at the bottom. For Macro Mondays and my POTD.
Rose thorns in macro. Sometimes even handling these with care doesn't help, they even poke me through gloves.
Today was a great day to work outside and finish cleaning up the gardens. It got to 62F/16C. Tomorrow it cools off again.

In the village of Tampak Siring on the Indonesian island of Bali you can find some talented bone carvers. This dragon is made from deer bone. You can see the 'decay' in the teeth is actually the bone marrow.

Falling behind posting images so here goes.
We have a pair of Loons nesting again successfully this year on our lakes. Spent an enjoyable morning just sitting and watching the parents feed the two chicks small minnows and various water invertebrates small enough for these little guys to handle. Look forward to watching this family grow over summer.
This little cream pitcher is at Mom's house. I am not sure where it came from but I suspect it was once my paternal great grandmother's. The little handle is SO amazing, I thought it was perfect for the challenge!
Oops! I missed the deadline . . . we are central standard time zone! Well, anyway! For Smile on Saturday! - handle
It's funny, when I visit the waterfalls , even though there are really impressive falls in every direction, I can't walk past this little fall without stopping to get a few shots. The beautiful swirling curves just seem to catch all the colours of the sky and woodland. I did find out a slight drawback to the wellies though, they are extremely slippy on algal coated rocks. So Handle with Care it is , by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.
The holly is so prickly it hurts! And our holly has no berries, so I paired it with some redcurrants, which I've been making into redcurrant sauce - I don't like cranberries as much 😊

This Rustic Handle has been taken for this weeks Macro Mondays theme of 'Handle'. It is from an outside log burner and burns nicely on chilly evenings in our garden. HMM

Crazy Tuesday group theme for Oct. 21 is "handle with care." I offer you a still life with alcohol and a surrendered car key fob.
This is possibly the tiniest button in my collection at just 1cm wide (about ⅜"). The centre is pink guilloché enamel and the button itself is made of silver. It dates back to the 1900s. The tin thimble is from the 1920s and the pink cotton from the 1930s. I'm sure the 2 buttons in the background will be making an appearance in their own right before long. :)

Vintage penknife/pocketknife that has found itself in my possession from I know not where or when. The texture of the carved horn handle was my objective and only on examining it closely realised the existence of the stag's head motif. Made in Germany I would guess early C20th.
Cropped to show only 3" of the handle.
