Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and we have Mr. Teddy Bear with us to celebrate Happy Teddy bear Tuesdays. And the theme at Crazy Tuesday is Folded or Creased Paper.

This is a perfect day for Mr. Teddy Bear to daydream about sailing on his blue paper boat. Mr. Teddy Bear has a passion for sailing and a passion for boats. So that is why he has so many paper boats ! Once he starts to fold the paper he can’t stop and he has to make several boats of the same color. And then he makes one extra just in case ! That is why Mr. Teddy Bear has more and more paper boats in his house. He can hardly wait to be able to take his boats outside and go on a romantic get away with Princess… Spring is definitely here so it will not be long until sailing is enjoyable again !

Meanwhile, I have to « sail » in a general direction of my living room office !See you later my friends !! And have a beautiful day !

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

A more closer look of "Pattern" (see first comment box). The texture reminds me of stone, so I did some processing to emphasize that.

The paper I used is 'glassine', which is great photogenic paper because of its translucency.

A few young guys were playing around (taking photos / video clips) with these paper boats in the breakwater of the East Cost Park Precinct.

This photo let me remember of the old Cantonese song 《紙船》 [Paper Boat], released in 1982, by the famous Hong Kong Cantopop singer / songwriter / actor Sam Hui ( 許冠傑).

《紙船》

作曲/填詞：許冠傑 (1982)

路經海邊見隻小船

懷人萬里心暗酸

異鄉的她腦海湧現

如何把相思串

拾起張紙摺隻小船

徐徐地放於水面

靜心閉目許個願

船兒匆匆飄遠

望船實踐我這個願

遙遙長路也不倦

直去到她身邊

只求跟她一見

若她終於見隻紙船

盤旋夢裡千百轉

望她珍惜當中意義

齊齊把相思串

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Paper Boat]

Composed/lyrics by Sam Hui (1982).

Lyrics (an unofficial English translation from internet, not singable):

Walking pass the seaside, ( I ) see a small boat

Remind me of that person, thousands of miles away, make me feel sad inside

(Image of) her who is in foreign land rush into my mind

How to make our hearts connect

Pick up a piece of paper and fold a little boat

Gently lay it down on the water

Clear my mind, close my eyes and make a wish

(Watching) the little (paper) boat quickly floats afar

I hope the (paper) boat could fulfill this wish of mine

Tirelessly travel long way away

Straight to her side

Only hope to see her once

if she finally see a paper boat

Drifting in circle endlessly in her dream

Hope she could cherish the meaning of it

Together, let's make our hearts connect

Mesh Cow Crumpled Paper

For Macro Mondays.

I attempted some marbling of paint on paper this weekend, but wasn't very successful, so have resorted to the unimaginative paper coil.

Conrail freight ELKA5, led by EMD GP38-2 No. 8134, cruises through New Carlisle, Indiana, during a snowfall on January 15, 1994, in a panned photograph. It wasn’t until I received the Kodachrome slide from processor that I noticed the conductor neatly framed in the cab windows, using ambient light from bright snow to read the morning paper!

Thanks for your comments and faves,they are truly appreciated.

For Macro Mondays. I was attempting to get a neatly made coil of paper, but found it more difficult than I anticipated. I squashed many and then found they unrolled too fast but I didn't want any paper clips to be seen. So something that should have been simple took several goes. I am trying to learn to be patient!

For some of my dear friends on Flickr, who don't fold and are curious of how the folding takes place, I decide to photograph some steps, to reveil "the secret", no just kidding ;-), it's really so nice to know you are interested.

First I cut out a hexagon out of a piece of paper, sometimes out of a square, sometimes out of a rectangle and then I start to make/fold the division of the grid that I need. This is somewhere in between......I still have to do a lot.

I used very thin paper with plenty of fiber, as you can see.... there is a very big one........ Because I wanted to see if I could tessellate this kind of paper...., always like a challenge........ to be continued.

Canción tradicional infantil

Había una vez un barquito chiquitito,

Había una vez un barquito chiquitito,

Que no podía, que no podía,

Que no podía navegar.

Pasaron un, dos, tres, cuarto, cinco, seis semanas;

Pasaron un, dos, tres, cuarto, cinco, seis semanas;

Y aquel barquito, y aquel barquito,

Y aquel barquito navegó.

Laowa 2X Super Macro

These are 3" x 3" Post-It Notes that have been rolled in half and held together with a paper clip. The light source is a large window at the top left. The 3 main circle-top areas are less than 1.5" total width, so the estimated total width is less than 2.5" W. It's fun to turn the paper and adjust the camera to see numerous views of the same subject. Plus, the super macro lens allows me to get very close to the subject, and the depth-of-field is extremely shallow. This lens blurs the background at f/8.0 or less, but unfortunately doesn't record the depth-of-field in the EXIF data. I'm guessing this is f/4.0 or lower. I'm a rookie with this lens and have plenty to learn. But, I like that it allows me to think "outside the box". In other words, it's fun.

Please have a great day.....
