Compositionally Challenged Week 50 - Hygge
Hygge is about taking time away from the daily rush to be with loved ones or enjoying life's quieter pleasures by yourself. It is about comfort, coziness, contentment. Our challenge this week is to capture what Hygge means to us.
Pretty music and flowers while I'm having my morning coffee always makes me feel comfy cozy. : )

I really love taking macro and closeup shots but the slightest breeze completely ruins the focus. It takes a lot of patience and many shots to get just one decent photo of something that's hanging or on a stem. Or I bump in to the branch next to it and set it off. lol!

Testing the Hasselblad Teleconverter 1.4x e with a 250mm Sonnar lens. Amazing sharpness as seen by the little hairs along the edge of the leaf, very shallow depth of field at f5.6 in this image.
What started as a macro session w/this pinecone which had fallen upon my deck, ended up as a cat photography session with Star as full of energy as I've seen for some while. Apparently objecting to the attention being given to this cone, she took possession and decided to make it a plaything. After a few sniffs and a few nips, it was unceremoniously batted to the ground, deemed unsuitable for serious cat play...but serving well the purpose of interrupting my own activities...

While trying to catch up some long overdue chores today, I was picking up pinecones in the backyard when I spotted this one with tiny mushrooms growing on it.
I've only ever seen this one time before so I was excited to see it again, and had to stop everything to go grab my camera.
Didn't notice the two extra tiny ones on the left until I was looking at it on my monitor.

▶ "A pine cone is an organ [the fruit] of the pine tree containing its reproductive structures. Pine trees are only one of the conifer, or 'cone-bearing,' plants; others include cedars, firs, cypresses, and redwoods. Pine cones, like the reproductive organs of other conifers, come in male and female varieties. The image that most people associate with the pine cone, a woody, scaled structure, is actually the female structure. Male cones are smaller, more herbaceous, and shorter-lived."
— Wisegeek.
▶ "Pine cone is a compound word that can be written with a space (called an 'open compound') or without a space between the two words (called 'closed'). If you look on the Internet, you will find that this word is quite common in both forms."
