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 knife is a present given by her grand-father to my wife when she was five years old. The blade is about 2 cm long. This is the older item of her penknife collection.
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.

Another Still life.
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.

It's blurry, but I still like the heart-shaped leaves, the light, the color and bokeh in this photo.
For Macro Mondays "Keepsake". One of my old Official Pins, this one for the 2001 racing seasons, pinned to the side of a pair of racing goggles. Not my goggles, though. I never rode the horses. I used a 1980's era Olympus 50mm macro lens and T32 flash to take this photo, something of keepsakes themselves.
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

The rock actually is a keepsake. It was given to us by our friends Dave and Sharon when they departed for their around-the-world motorcycle journey in 1997. We kept it on the floor of our car until they returned, and then we just kept it there even longer, until 2003, when we sold the car and moved to Canada. Since then it has been on our bookshelves. We all think it's a geode with potentially pretty crystals inside, but I doubt we'll ever cut it to find out.
The feather has no story for us. LG found it for me outside when I mentioned that I needed a feather.
The width of this image is about 1.5 inches.

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.

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.
