This necklace belonged to my grandmother, and she wore it often. It's not something I would wear, so it is kept safe in my jewellery box.
The power of the world is done in a circle. The wind whirls, stars rotate; the sun and moon- both round, comes forth and goes down again. Likewise, ancient recurring cycles of events penetrated the Crooked River and created the flanks of these majestic, multi-colored formations.
This is a panorama of 12 images that took me over 2 hours to get just right in freezing temps and very cold water. This is definitely one of my favorites of the year and hopefully the first of many.

It's blurry, but I still like the heart-shaped leaves, the light, the color and bokeh in this photo.
Keepsake from a special holiday in Mauritius. It's a small glass beaker made on the island with some sand, a few shells, a coin and not really visible in this shot but a piece of coral too. Kept on our Bathroom windowsill.

This is what happens when you leave the house with your camera, your tripod, your favourite lens, your long lens (new:)))
And good intentions. Only to get out of the car and discover your memory card is still at home. Jeesh.
Gift from a nurse when my dad at Princess Margaret Hospital in 1968. I was 8 and wore this pin on my coats for years afterward.

I have two things from my grandfather: a hat and a shotgun. Here is 3 inches of the trigger from the 75 year old shotgun.
This is a memory from way back in August 1979, on my first trip abroad. It was a Sunday, possibly rainy, and we traveled on our hosts' 2CV to Perouges. I don't remember much, apart from charming cobbled streets on a hilltop. I bought this (2-inch wide) coat-of-arms embroidered on a piece of felt and I have kept it as I quite like it. I have just looked up Perouges on wikipedia, which says it is located 30 km north-east of Lyon.
A memory of my mother who loved to walk with the Rotterdam walking club Excelsior. Around 1938 she walked a 20-30 km walk near Delft for the third time
A whole coconut.posted to me by my sister from the Cook Islands, just with the address and stamps stuck on it! That was in 1989, I've stilll got it and can still remember the posties face.
Not a fan of typical souvenirs. I usually buy rings or small items made of glass. This is a macro of a glass bowl bought in Scotland.
For the Macro Mondays Theme: Keepsake
This old camera belonged to my grandmother. This Tickyphot 35B was manufactured between 1972 and 1977. It was mainly used for (many unsuccessful) holiday snaps and family occasions. It still works, but I haven't tried it with film (yet) because I've gotten so used to the digital age that I probably can't really handle it.
Purchased at Margate when I visit the Shell Grotto. It is 4cms tall. A great little memento for my trip.
Grandma's pin (measures 1-3/4"), 2 love birds set with pearls on a doily she crochet.
For Macro Mondays June 26 theme "Keepsake"
Analog watch and clock repair is an dying art... I am slowly becoming a dying breed. The carriage clock is from around 1900. It is not marked with the country of origin but from old catalog illustrations it is more than likely French. It is a musical clock with a delightful tune on the hour. The hanging pocket watch is from the same period. On the dial is a photograph of Lilian Adams... an elderly friend of my father at the time that she gave him the watch. The ambrotype has long been dead as an art.

A gold locket I received from my parents many years ago. The inset shows the photos inside, a photo of my husband and our two sons. The photo of my husband is one I took of him on our first 'date', a photo shoot walk along the railroad tracks in the city where we met while attending college.
Took a trip out to a little place that deals in second hand furniture and such like, saw these WWI field glasses, had to have them.
... of our last summer vacation. ;-)
