I tried to take a fine foto here but knew Flickr contains much competitive beauty, especially at

where from our so skilled friend~☼♥LilaPop♥☼~I got the last part in my below comment :

 

"At that very time, the prayer of these two suppliants was heard in the glorious presence of Almighty God.

So Raphael was sent to heal them both: to remove the cataracts from Tobit's yes, so that he might again see God's sunlight; and to marry Raguel's daughter Sarah to Tobit's son Tobiah, and then drive the wicked demon Asmodeus from her. For Tobiah had the right to claim her before any other who might wish to marry her.

In the very moment that Tobit returned from the courtyard to his house, Raguel's daughter Sarah came downstairs from her room."

Tobit 3:16-17

Saint Theresa's Prayer

 

May today there be peace within.

 

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

 

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

 

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

 

May you be content k nowing you are a child of God.

 

Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

 

It is there for each and every one of us.

In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.

 

In the intellectual order, the virtue of humility is nothing more nor less than the power of attention.

Day 33/365

Week 5 Theme: Macro Mania

 

A day off work and I went out to a local RSPB reserve to do some macro shots but, it was really breezy! Managed to get a few reasonable ones amongst all the 'blurries'.

 

I chose this for today's macro as my challenge this week is for true macro at ratio of at least 1:1 and of all the shots I took this was manually focused with the lens set at 1:1. A lot of the other shots were autofocus and I was too far away so they are more 1:2 or 1:3.

One of the grandkids' favorite books by author, Patty Lovell. My favorite illustrator, David Catrow makes it fun for the non readers to thumb through, as well. This tulip slightly set apart from the others reminded me of the book.

 

"Macro Mania" is the theme for OhioFoothills' challenge this month.

I am experimenting. The camelias are dying back, the spiders webs are everywhere, and I decided to take this fading flower as is.

Apologies for this prolonged bout of macro mania...

Tiger Flower, Påfågelslilja, Tigerblomma, Tigridia povonia.

 

This exotic Mexican bulb is sometimes called peacock flower, an appropriate name in view of its quite startling colour combinations- all the shades of scarlet, orange, pink, yellow, mauve and white, usually with contrasting markings.
