Love taking nearsighted shallow depth of field macros to capture this antique 18 carat gold pocket watch. Fairly abstract looking into the inner workings of the watch. That's the way I see life without my thick spectacles ;)
Less than 3cm or less than 1 inch across.
Thanks for your comments and faves.

Day 10/365:
Macro Monday - Corners
I had two options for today but try to only post one a day so went for this one.
My vintage rule and Omni filters. HMM
Definitely Dreaming - Doorway
A doorway within a doorway here. This glass door leads to the conservatory at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire. The black door within leads to the house.
A view I won't forget in a hurry. The moment before rain comes in and everything vanishes. I tried to capture this by having the background slightly out of focus, and looking more at the intimate detail in the foreground, while a sense of the expansive drama still draws the eye to the mountains beyond.
taken on a very windy day (at about 1,700 m altitude) - the rose hips and the grass were dancing beautifully together ...
When thinking of the colours of autumn the bright red rose hips (and other fruits and berries) always come to my mind.
Rose hips also make very tasty jam / spread ... but no fun when you have the little itchy seeds under your clothes on your skin (this was a favourite pastime of the bad boys at elementary school ; ))
Crazy Tuesday - theme of October 13, 2020: Autumn
Happy Crazy Tuesday, everyone !!

aufgenommen an einem sehr windigen Tag (auf etwa 1.700 m Höhe) - die Hagebutten und das Gras tanzten wunderschön zusammen ...
Wenn ich an die Farben des Herbstes denke, kommen mir immer die leuchtend roten Hagebutten (und andere Früchte und Beeren) in den Sinn.
Hagebutten geben auch sehr leckere Marmelade / Aufstrich ... aber kein Spaß, wenn man die kleinen juckenden Samen unter den Kleidern auf der Haut hat (das war ein Lieblingszeitvertreib der bösen Jungs in unserer Grundschule ; ))

Ingredients: small vase (from the 1960s, handed over to me by my mother), early blooming flowers (boxwood, grape hyacinth, primrose, french lavendel), Easter eggs (painted with opaque white), wicker basket (ideal for the Easter egg hunt)

Zutaten: kleine Vase (aus den 1960er Jahren, von meiner Mutter an mich überlassen), frühblühende Blümchen (Buchsbaum, Traubenhyazinthe, Primel, Schopflavendel), Ostereier (mit Deckweiß bemalt), Weidenkörbchen (ideal für die Ostereiersuche)
Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles) in the last rays of the sun. Protected by all the snow we had this past Winter our flowering quince is lush and beautiful this Spring.
lovely cut-leaf mallows - seen on a walk around the neighbourhood in a natural meadow along a tram (streetcar) line
It was very windy yesterday evening, so I am glad I could 'freeze' the blossoms with a fast shutterspeed
The blossoms and seeds of the cut-leaf mallow are edible - you can colour / decorate salad with them for example :)
Happy Monday and have a pleasant week ahead !!

Rosen-Malven - gesehen bei einem Sonntagsspaziergang "um den Block" auf einer naturbelassenen Wiese entlang einer Straßenbahntrasse ... hier gab es genug "Futter" für Bienchen :)
Die Blüten und Samen der Rosen-Malve können übrigens gegessen werden ... man kann zum Beispiel Salate damit verzieren
Ich wünsche euch eine angenehme neue Woche !!
... and long-ago times. I imagined walking in an old and abandoned palace garden on a tropical island :-)
While walking in our neighbourhood park, I took a photo with an open aperture for a shallow depth of field to create a dreamy impression and added a grungy filter to make it more mysterious.
Happy slider Sunday ... HSS!
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday
Played around with my camera with a closeup lens in front. Just photographed what was in front of me on my desk :)
a plastic button-thingy (cord stopper) tries to befriend some metal buttons ; ))

Crazy Tuesday - Thema am 13.07.2021: Aus der Reihe tanzen (Etwas / Jemand ist anders)
A popular garden flower that's just blooming now.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great day and weekend!
Day 333/365:
I managed to get my favourite perfume at a very good price in the Black Friday sale. I also received this miniature gift set with it. So, another low key macro since my camera and macro lens were still set up from yesterday and I was a bit short on time after having our grandson for the last few days. He has gone home now and we will miss him terribly, he's great fun and really good company although extremely tiring! ;)
I added a couple of textures (my own).
Day 52/365:
Macro Monday - Two
So many choices for this theme. I was going to use tiny bottles but then thought of these tiny vintage mustard spoons filled with gold stars in the silver spoon and siver in the gold spoon. I called it two scoops (rather than spoons) as a nod to the 'Two soups' sketch with Julie Waters. You may only know this if you are of a certain age and live in the UK. HMM

Macro Monday - Pair
Anything goes for 2021 - White on white
I've done similar to this in the past but took this and a few other photos earlier before we were called out to collect our grandson from preschool. He then wanted to go for a walk. Of course no self respecting doting grandparent could possibly refuse. It did mean I ran out of time to get another shot. HMM
Back later to comment
A fragile poppy flower being held on by the tiny thorns on the stalk on the left, expressing their symbiotic relationship. It was very windy and the flower petals were fluttering a lot.
Such a lovely colour to this low growing, spreading variety of a succulent plant with parentage within the Sedum genus. It presents as a beautiful mat of bright lime-green foliage resembling moss. The leaves are tender and soft.
It also produces masses of bright yellow flowers in spring.
Here, I chose to focus on one area with heavy depth of field.
This is Sedum var. Goldilocks, growing to 10 cm in height and a spread of around 45 cm in diameter.
