We have a Christmas tradition we call ‘stocking fillers’. Small not very expensive gifts are bought for each other. This is one such from Mrs S. Is she suggesting something?
Today he's wearing clothes appropriate for jazz! Flames shoot out the top of the instrument as he plays (you can only see a glimpse in this image) but I was more interested in catching his audience.
Lovely instrument

For Smile on Saturday! - Optical instruments
This hands-free hanging magnifier belonged to my paternal grandparents. Van Waffle (Pappy) might have used it for looking at his stamp collection or Fern (Mimi) might have used it to read books and the newspaper. I felt closer to Pappy than my other three grandparents. He had been a self-made, successful business owner and a hard man by many accounts. I never saw that side of him. The year I was born he suffered a heart attack and retired. I guess it softened him. He had time for me. He remained active and did not have another heart attack until 20 years later when he died peacefully in his sleep, age 82. I've kept this magnifier since Mimi moved out of their house into a nursing home 30 years ago, knowing it would become useful someday. So far I have only used it two or three times to fix difficult knitting errors. Pappy would be puzzled to find me using it in fibrecraft, but he shared my enjoyment of gardening and storytelling.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Mess- und Regeltechniken waren immer schon von hoher Bedeutung in der Schwerindustrie. Hier zu sehen sind alte Thermo- und Manometer in der Gebläsehalle der Henrichshütte Hattingen, heute ein Museum.

Techniques of measurement had always been very important in the heavy industry. Here you can see old thermometers and manometers in the blower hall of the blast furnace plant Henrichshütte Hattingen, Germany.
this is a picture-crop of my beloved Bechstein 8a piano from the year 1936. I love all musical instruments very much, but the piece (made in Berlin) is something very special for me. HMM to everybody !

“I know he's around,
When the sky and the ground start in ringing.
I know that he's near,
By the thunder I hear in advance.
His words, his words alone,
Are the words that can start my heart singing,
And his is the only music that makes me dance.”
Lyrics from “The Music That Makes Me Dance” written by Bob Merrill and Jule Styne from the musical “Funny Girl” (1960).
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 6th of June is "musical instruments", and when I read the theme, the lyrics from the Broadway musical “Funny Girl”, based on the life of American comedienne and singer Fanny Brice, written to showcase singer and actress, Barbra Streisand’s vocal and comedic talents, came to mind. I happened to have a still life that I think is suitable for the theme already: one featuring a pair of rather eccentric designer shoes and a violin borrowed from a musician friend of mine. In order to highlight the beautiful instrument, I have processed the photo in selective colour. As “The Music That Makes Me Dance” is a romantic song about unrequited love, I decided to leave the pink roses in the still life in colour as well. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
The shoes that feature in this still life are stilettos from the 1950s in pristine condition. The heel pads are leather, whilst the toe of the shoes are bleached snakeskin hand painted with black dots and finished with a black grosgrain ribbon.
The purse in the foreground is a hand beaded example from the late 1910s to early 1920s, made of black faceted jet beads.
The glasses on the tray are faceted crystal from the 1930s, whilst the decanter of port is from the late Victorian era. The soda syphon is from the 1920s. The silver tray and lidded silver serving dish are late Victorian.
at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. It looked a bit like a violin, but it has 6 strings, and is absolutely beautiful! AS you can tell, I don't know much about these things...and there was not enough time to find the appropriate information as we had to get to a Carol Service.....

Valle de Izas, Huesca, Pirineo Aragonés.
La última luz del atardecer incide sutilmente sobre las puntas del impresionante macizo rocoso, el denominado "Balcón de Iserías" con 2275 metros de altitud. Bajo él se muestra el "Barranco de Las Negras", llamado así por las rocas oscuras de origen volcánico que recorren todo el lecho fluvial.
Este río, es un afluente del "río de Canal Roya" que a su vez es afluente del "río Aragón" y este es uno de los principales afluentes del "río Ebro", el más caudaloso de España. Y, con 930 kilómetros de longitud, el segundo más largo que desemboca al mar Mediterráneo tras el Nilo. El recorrido que hace aquí el agua es realmente impresionante.
La elevación de la temperatura está incrementado la velocidad del deshielo, y aún más tras las intensas lluvias de los últimos días. El chapoteo del discurrir del agua entre las oscuras rocas es muy sonoro. A pesar de todo, es un paisaje ordenado, armonioso y que ante mí muestra el equilibro natural que hay entre los distintos elementos. Es como una gran orquesta con distintos instrumentos, todos tan dispares pero unidos en una efímera melodía visual, la melodía del paisaje.

“Music is probably the one real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real." -- Tom Petty
I had the privilege to attend a Tom Petty tribute concert over the weekend. There is nothing like participating in the joy of sharing a musical experience with strangers all singing along to favorite songs. It really did feel magical.
