Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Monday is bookmark.

As you might know by now, I have a collection (yes, another one) of prayers books and old bibles. Since those kind of books were mass produced they have almost no monetary value. But I love the craftsmanship that went in those books and also all the history behind them. I like to think about people who used those books and what or who were they praying for… I’m not a religious person and as a matter of fact I have books from all kinds of religions in my collection. The book you see in my picture is a pocket version of a french prayers book from the 1960. It is 3,5 cm thick. And most importantly it has this awesome multicolored bookmark…

See you later my friends ! I have a coffee to grab before my video meeting. I wish you all an amazing day !

Hello amazing Flickr People !!

Today is a red day at Color my World daily Group and we celebrate spirals at Macro Mondays.

This is a hand made paper red spiral. I did it all by myself instead of folding laundry or baking cookies for my adorable kids… And I must admit it took me some time to get it the way I wanted (and also I’m not very talented with paper and spirals and scissors…so I had a few gin & tonics to motivated myself for this picture). I guess the laundry will have to wait for another day… Well that is the spiral of life ;-) !

Happy CMWD and happy MM to all participants !!

Have a beautiful day and see you later !

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and we celebrate holes at Macro Mondays. And since I’m addicted to eggs, I decided to photograph a hole in one of my eggshells. It is a very rare geological phenomena and it occurs only once in every 1 567 890 eggshells. The hole is the result of very weak shell structure and we believe that it is directly linked with the tiny chicken curiosity. The more curious the chick the more holes formations in an eggshell will occur. So I was very lucky to be able to take a picture of such a rare phenomena just in time for Macro Mondays !! And just to show you how beautiful it looks under a macro lens (or extension tubes in this case) , a tiny heart is visible at the other end of the eggshell. I hope you will like it !

See you later ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is tradition. As we all know, Red Lady just finished to set up her Christmas tree. She is super late : usually the Christmas tree is up at the beginning of December but this year is an exception. This delay is caused by a total lack of christmasy feeling this year ( blame it on the pandemic… ). However, the Christmas tree is one tradition Red Lady wants to maintain at any cost ! Even if she has to set up the tree at the very last minute, 23h55 on December the 23rd, she will do it !

Have beautiful day my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Shortly (next week), I will take few days off from Flickr my friends ! I want to spend some time with my family, so I will not have time to take pictures. But dont you worry, I will be back in 2022 for sure !

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

Hello awesome Flickr People !!

Today is a red day at Color My World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is « pushpull ».

I’m choosing the « pull » theme. As a mother of two boys you become an expert in male psychology but also an expert in pulling at stuck zippers. You have no idea how many zippers my kids destroyed just by pulling at them like there is no tomorrow ! Where does this force comes from ? i have no idea but I must admit that my boys aren’t very delicate with zippers… So here is my ode to stuck zippers. I’m pretty much sure that right now, there is, somewhere in this world, a little boy screaming : « Mommmm can you pull my zipper ? It is stuck again ! ».

I wish you an amazing Monday my friends and see you later !!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is knots.

And as Jean Toomer said:

« We learn the rope of life by untying its knots ». So here we go, a tiny yellow paper boat trying to untie a huge blue knots on its long sail adventure.

I hope you will like my interpretation of this theme.

FYI: my tiny boat is about 0,8cm long.

I have to go since I will have some huge knots to untie at my work for sure … It is a pretty much standard situation on Monday morning … wish me luck !!

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

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

Hello my Flickr Friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily Group and Macro Mondays theme is “pick two”. We had a list of colors and a list of items, and we have to choose one in each list and end up with two picks.

And luckily for me red was on the colors list (maybe I should get a lotto ticket ??? ). My second pick is a bottle cap. And Coca-Cola Caps are the best for a red day, don’t you think ??

Happy CMWD and Happy MM to all participants!! And awesome day to all Flickr users !!

I will try to catch up as soon as possible with your comments and Photostreams but since I’m officially on vacation with my sons my activity on Flickr will be rather slow for the next few days …I apologize for that!! Have a beautiful day my friends!!

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

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate forks at Macro Mondays. Happy red fork day !

I had lots of concepts and ideas for my fork picture so I took a gazillion pictures…I have to warn you: you might see several forks pictures on this Photostream in the future… I must admit I like this theme very much. But since I’m back on my diet / personal challenge, there is no food on my fork today. I was afraid I would end up eating my props and then sabotaging my personal goal of loosing some pandemic fat…But luckily for me, no props were harmed or eaten during this photo session…

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later my friends and have an amazing day , I have another morning meeting !!

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

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is behind glass. So I decided to use my vintage glasses and my very pale tiny people. When i see people talking behind a glass, I always wonder what are they talking about…. Maybe they just met… maybe they are in love but for some obscure reasons, they must break up… maybe they just talk about their love for Nutella or gin and tonic… Or maybe they just ask themselves who the heck is that lady, standing on the other side of the window and looking at them very intensely ? Who knows ? Not me, I’m very bad at reading lips…

Have an amazing Monday and an awesome new week my friends !! See you later !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

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

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate nuts at Macro Monday.

And while I was searching for an idea for today’s picture I stubbled upon those 2 nuts kissing… The kiss was really very, very fast and I couldn’t believe my eyes: 2 nuts kissing, how that is possible ?

But the picture was already well tattooed in my mind so I had to recreate this whole scene… So here you go: two macadamia nuts kissing .

And now, I have to grab my coffee and join my video meeting… but I will be thinking about this crazy nuts kissing for sure !!

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later my friends !!

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

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is "everyday carry" or EDC items .

In my case, I can’t go out without my glasses. It isn’t that much because of my poor vision but rather for aesthetic reasons (yes, I’m that superficial !!!). I feel very, very naked and awkward without my huge frames. They give me this super power and a new confidence ! And also they hide perfectly my designers bags under my eyes… So I will continue to carry my glasses everywhere !

See you later !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

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

The #MacroMondays theme for this week is a subject of our choice shot at a Dutch angle. This is one of three clip-on lenses for my little iPhoneSE2. Decided to go simple and obvious— giggling. This is actually under an inch - about 7/8ths of an inch (and not blue)

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is : pair.

The first thing that came to my mind was : a pair of scissors… miniature scissors of course. But then, I wasn’t sure if a pair of scissors would be accepted for this theme… so I had to get « another pair » of something just in case… And since I’m an excellent international poker player I decided to go with a « big pair » of aces. That should make a winner picture !

Of course, you all know that I have absolutely no idea how to play poker or any card game… So, it was a lie: i’m not an excellent international poker player at all…sorry for that but the story of this picture needed some more imaginary details to make it more real…

See you later my friends !! I have a video meeting this morning…

FYI: the scissors are about 1,5cm heigh and my cards are almost 1cm each.

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

And so, it is Monday, again!

Today’s theme at Macro Mondays Group is zipper. So of course, it had to be red, because it is a red day after all at Color My World Daily Group.

And I was about to rip a zipper from my husband’s red bermudas (of course I would never, ever, destroy one of my clothes…but since my husband hardly knows his own stuff….it was an easy choice for me ;-)), when I remembered that I have a bag full of red zippers somewhere in my house (it was given to me by someone, since people know I like keeping stuff…).

Yes, I know that I can’t sew, but I’m a hoarder so naturally I kept this old bag of red zippers (oddly enough the bag contained ONLY red zippers… like someone in the past knew about this theme !!!!) for “later” …. Like several years later when I’m retired, and I will learn how to sew or crochet or knit! Stop laughing, this is serious, I can do it!! Sipping a glass (ok maybe a bottle) of wine I will learn how to sew on YouTube !I can picture myself, sewing some tiny and cute clothes for my grandchildren and I’m pretty sure (like 98,9997% sure) that at one point in time I will need a red zipper for that.

But for now, the red zipper was only a plain red zipper….So I had to add the Lady in red and her grandson, enjoying a ride on the escalator ….And I’m pretty much sure, she has all the necessary stuff for sewing in her bag…including a bottle of red wine…

Have a great Monday!! Happy Macro Mondays and CMWD to all participants!!

Thank you so much for your comments /favs and support! I’m humbled and grateful!!! I wish you all an amazing day and see you soon on Flickr!!

This week Macro Mondays theme is ''The First Letter of My Name''. Since my name begins with the letter 'S', a few ideas came to mind. Anyhow, I hope you will like my ''Sweet Strawberries''. I always like mines with a hint of sugar.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is Sun Safety. It is my first day of work after my vacation and my tan is rather very dark… I must admit I’m not very good at following all the sun safety rules… But I use a lip protection very often. Few years ago, while on vacation in Cuba I had a very, very impressive sunburn on my lips and ears (yes, it is possible!! Next day, my ears were as big as Prince Charles's) and feet (that is also possible !! Trust me !!)…

I must admit it was very painful, especially for my lips, and you should see me the next day. My appearance wasn’t human and few people from the hotel suggested a medical consultation. It was very spectacular (I’m a very pale Polish girl) but after few days of looking like a lobster and many, many bottles of rhum, I was back to normal.

So here is my picture for this theme. A girl (me ??) on a giant lip balm. For your information: the miniature « me » is about 0,6cm heigh and she is a nudist (I’m not !! Just to clarify !!) since I had to complete her bikini… we are on a family friendly Photostream.

But, I have to go since I have a video meeting in few minutes (ohhh how I missed my video meetings !! Of course that is pure irony !!)

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day my friends!! See you later!!

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

inspiration from one of my favourite bottles

We are approaching the traditional end of the harvest season of the old agricultural year and entering into the dark half of the year. At the time of this last harvest, also known as Samhain or Halloween, the hedgerows and trees are bursting with edible fruits, nuts and berries. I've collected just a small selection here for a seasonal still life. Hawthorn, Rosehips, Sweet Chestnuts, Crabapples, Wildings (apples sprouted from discarded apple-cores, often crossed with Crabapples), hazelnuts, acorns (edible if correctly processed), blackberries and Sloes. If you know what to do with them, there is still a veritable delight of wild foods to be found; many of which our ancestors would have relied on to carry them through the long, cold dark months of winter... #stilllife #still_life #autumn2013 #Samhain #halloween #wildharvest #wildfruits #crabapples #foraging #oxfordshire #uk #hurricanelamp #trug #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots_ #uk_potd #icatching #bd #ig_captures_nature #red_mm #redthursday
