Bringing a Monday smile to you! 😊 Happy new week!
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
... ever since editing this image I regret not using my camera here instead of my (then) five year old camera phone ... newer smartphones are noticeably better, but I make it a point keeping my ecological fingerprint as small as possible ... and this now seven year old phone is still working : ))
I have fond memories of that lovely summer day in Überlingen, Lake Constance (Germany) ... so this is just for fun and maybe I can make you smile a bit ; )) 💚

nur zum Spaß ... hatte keine Lust, ein Stativ zu benutzen : ))

A very small dry leaf 1.3cm wide and 4cm long all the leaf
Just a beautiful day of Autumn for yoga on the park with the geese. The yoga instructor is on the water and the geese are following her movements. Happy Saturday! 🍁
👉Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment!
This ring, reminiscent of a flower wreath, was designed and handcrafted by a goldsmith couple here in my city who also made our wedding rings. I chose blue topaz as the centre of the blossoms as it's my favourite colour and I wear a lot of blue
Just for fun - I was toooo lazy to use a tripod that Sunday, so it's a bit blurry and noisy - but I just had no time and muse for further attempts ; ))
Crazy Tuesday - theme of June 1, 2021: Silver
[for this theme anything silver in colour was fine - this is actually white gold ... and the 'blossoms' are 8 mm wide]

Here you see exactly twenty-ONE delicious and healthy blueberries for Crazy Tuesday - theme of January 19th, 2021: 21 (twenty-one)
[Thursday will be the 21th day of the 21th year of the 21th century]
No, stop!
It's actually twenty blueberries and one cyanberry ; ))
Odd one out !
Edit: no blueberry was harmed by taking this photo (maybe later, hmmmm) - the colour change is the result of post processing : ))
Valley of the Gods near Bluff, UT. 17 mile dirt road that winds through red rock cliffs, buttes and pinnacles. 30 minutes from Monument Valley. Edited in Lightroom and added the clouds and balloon in Luminar4 for Slider Sunday.
Happy Slider Sunday!
Kevin the underwater adventurer is a scuba diver toy. I took this photo for the Macro Mondays #behindglass theme. You can see the bubbles in the water around him. His face is the size of a penny. Best in Large!
Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment, so I can visit you, too...much appreciated!
This is my lucky charm carabiner which is attached to my trecking photo-backpack and is always with me when hiking ; ))
Your are looking at the 1 cm wide screw lock / screw gate of the metallic green aluminium carabiner.
I took this image rather for fun one morning last week (meaning: handheld without tripod, lit with a colour-changing LED light) just to see how the setting would look like ... I kind of liked the somewhat blurry and psychedelic look.
Perfectionism is overrated ; ))
Macro Mondays - theme of February 1, 2021: Safety
Happy Macro Mondays, everyone ! :))

Grüner Aluminium-Karabiner mit Schraubsicherung, beleuchtet mit einem LED-Licht (hier Regenbogenfarben) für Macro Mondays
Das war eigentlich nur ein Spaß-/Test-Bild zum Ausprobieren (ohne Stativ, etwas verwackelt) ... dabei ist es dann geblieben ... irgendwie mochte ich das Ergebnis (trotz leichter Verwacklungsunschärfe)
Perfektionismus ist überbewertet ! : ))
Einen schönen Montagabend !
Crazy Tuesday - theme of July 12, 2022: glass
The bokeh behind the glass lantern is our living room cabinet and telly : ))
I added texture in Analog Efex ("organic dirt")
Happy Crazy Tuesday !
I will catch up in the evening!

(No, not really - this is a ruby red grapefruit up close and backlit with a torch)

This is a real circular / swirl ICM of a clover blossom ... taken in the urban gardens in June 2022
I enhanced the colour hues and textures caused by the ICM in Topaz Studio 2 and DxO Analog Efex
Happy Sliders Sunday: )
There aren't much autumn colours here yet; most of the trees are still green or already brown. It looks more like a second spring time as it is finally raining after the very long heat and draught during summer.
Taken with the manual vintage Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI (the "diva" of my lenses / wide open) for Crazy Tuesday - theme of October 4, 2022: Leaves
I was dithering so much this time as I had taken quite some leaf images during the last week (even some with autumn colours); but in the end "bokeh madness" won the race : ))
I will catch up in the late evening !
Crazy Tuesday - theme of July 28, 2020: Top
Seen in a cabinet at my mum's: a little carafe / decanter with a stopper on top.
Impromptu image, but I was quick-witted enough to switch on the illumination of the cabinet - I love bubbly bokeh, you know !! :))
High ISO, handheld and noise ... so just for fun :D
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday, everyone !
I will be browsing late in the evening due to work
We had such lovely sunlight today, so I grabbed my camera with the Laowa 60mm manual macro lens and took some images of the bicoloured (pink and white) heather on my balcony ... doing what I like the best: creating bubbly bokeh : ))
I had a very busy week so far and we will have a guest this weekend ... so I might be a bit slow with commenting these days.
Happy Weekend ... and see you soon ! : ))
Meet the loyal and faithful guardian of my books and his apprentice (they are feared Bobble-Tail Setters, especially trained to scare away mean book thieves ; ))
Sorry for all that fluffiness - this was my first fun try for the theme. No chance for further images as I got my second jab this weekend and have been a bit under the weather since then ...
Crazy Tuesday - theme of July 20, 2021: Different Sizes
Hope you are all fine : ))
This is an optical illusion created by blurring:
You are looking through the holes of a flat skimmer ladle onto the blue glitter foam rubber underneath. I focused on the edges of the bokeh until a 3D effect was created and it looked like spheres : ))
In the first comment you can see a photo of the ladle and foam rubber
Crazy Tuesday - theme of August 23, 2022: Geometry
taken with the manual Laowa 60mm ultra macro lens (I don't know the aperture anymore as I was playing around a lot ; ))

Dies ist eine optische Täuschung, bewirkt durch Unschärfe:
Ihr seht hier durch die Löcher einer flachen Schöpfkelle hindurch auf das darunter liegende blaue Glitzer-Moosgummi. Den Fokus habe ich auf die Ränder des Bokehs gelegt, bis eine 3D-Wirkung entstand und Kugeln "erschienen"
Im ersten Kommentar seht ihr ein Foto der Schöpfkelle
Spotted on a colorful door in the Noyo Harbor.
Knock Knock
Who's there ?
Whale
Whale who?
Whale if you don't know me by now......
Just for fun, eh !
Happy days, everyone.

this is the (ragged) zipper of one of my handbags
Crazy Tuesday - theme of October 27th, 2020: Two of a Kind but Not the Same
I swapped the reflections in Affinity Photo - so that grumpy frog on the right can get some sparkles, too - at least his reflection ;))
The light leaks are from Topaz Studios
Happy CrAzY Tuesday, everyone !

This is a very cropped scene from another photo that I took yesterday on the creek (no tripod). See photo below. 👇
Tell me what you see here. I see one white dog on the left, another one on the right and on the top an owl flying. There are many faces there, too!
