Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
Macro Mondays 'treasured' theme.
Well worn and damaged but treasured nonetheless, this pewter ring was given to me by my Dad when I was about twelve, more than fifty years ago. He bought it on one of his many business trips to Scandinavia and I think he got it in Norway. I haven't worn it for many years and can't even get it on my little finger now but I wouldn't part with it.
Prompt: "A still life painting of a pewter bowl containing apples, oranges, and grapes. To the left of the bowl is a lighted candle."

My lamium maculatum 'Pink Pewter' has just started to flower for spring, 2020. Lamiums have green and silver foliage. They flower, with masses of pink bell-shaped buds, from early spring to late autumn. They like semi-shaded to full shade positions.
Photographed today, Sunday 6th September, 2020, at Cherrybrook, in northern Sydney.

I had some trouble with this week's theme - I have quite a few special pushpin sets, and I wasn't sure which to choose. Finally I chose this garden set. I had trouble arranging them - since the challenge was "pushpins" I figured I should show the pin points themselves. But when I showed the points clearly, the fronts were hardly visible. I also tried many backgrounds, but most left too much empty space around the pins. The rattan kind of distracted from the pins, but overall I liked it better. I also had trouble getting a really sharp focus with camera or phone, but I countered that by my often used go-to focus fix -- post processing, in this case PSE colored pencil sketch. You can see that result in my previous image. I liked it it a lot, but the pins looked like brass and I wanted to show their pewter tones. I tried selective coloring variations, but ended up using the silvertone filter in iMac Photos, which I also liked a lot. I wasn't sure which image to post and add to the group, so I posted both, and added this one to the group because -- I would say it seemed more unique, but I then I would hear my journalism/english teacher dad's voice telling me that things can't be more (or less, for that matter) unique since by definition unique means "the only one of its kind." ...so [shrug], just because.

one of my mother's wonderful arrangements. Black and white photo (TMAX 100 / square format TLR; negative scanned) blended w/ colorized texture .
After coming across this beautifully eye-catching plant, I learned that it is native to southern India. Also commonly called silver Persian shield plant or pewter plant. This specimen seen within a suburban, communal garden area.
Strobilanthes gossypinus is a medium size, evergreen shrub. The leaves are opposed and the foliage is a very pretty silvery, grey-blue colour with a felty/furry texture. I learned that this plant is a 'semelparous mast-seeding' species. Meaning that the entire species flowers simultaneously then dies. It is thought that mast-seeding is an effective defense because the seed predators become satiated before all the seeds have been consumed.
Strobilanthes gossypinus flowers are mauve which would be spectacular against this foliage and tubular in form, rather like Lobelia. They are produced on elongated panicles above the foliage in great profusion in the plant's final year.
This specimen was around 1.5 m in height x 1.8 m in width. Mature leaves around 15 cm in length.

I bought several of these tiny grad caps as graduation mementos - many years ago. I didn't realize that I still had one - not sure why. But it is definitely a miniature - .75 inches (2cm) on the diagonal! hmm
This small figurine of a cat measures precisely 30mm from ear to ear.
This photo is a composite of 6 files. The lighting was simply the overhead room light.
idea was to bring out the roughness of the surface. It's very pretty of a thing when light passes through it. I slightly matted the redness inside the murble.
