This tiny bloom is called Dwarf Checkermallow and there is quite a large clump of them in the background. These flowers are also called miniature hollyhocks.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day and new week!
Day 357/365:
A that'll do shot today, of my homemade cranberry sauce.
I seem to have this horrible bug that is going around so no motivation or inspiration but since I make my cranberry sauce every Christmas, I usually take a photo of it.

I bought these shoes in Florida several years ago back when I could wear high heels without difficulty and pain! HMM

#85 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
Since my flash was still on my camera I thought I'd use it again today and I like to make the most of my props so here is one of the cages from yesterday's pic too. May as well make it a mini series. I did change the lens though, to my Lensbaby Velvet 56
Another shot of our dog, Sherry, must mean that I have some new kit to play with; this time it’s the Canon RF85 f2 😁. Naturally the f1.2 has a lot more going for it, at a price, but the f2 is a very competent more affordable lens, and produces very sharp images wide open, as this shot is.
Newly planted, this little rhododendron bush has new buds ready for spring in many months.
The buds make perfect perches for small birds--at least on our more well-established plants.
Another wet knees and tripod and caffeine photo.
One of three species of pelican found in the Americas and one of two that feed by diving into water.
It was lovely to see these in number within the San Francisco Bay area.
1 to 1.5 m in length. The bill can measure up to 350 mm.

Some snowdrops from my garden with some little pots I recently acquired...because one can never have too many props ;)
Lensbaby Velvet 56 and Omni filter...that's the blur to the right.

Such a garnish made of tiny crystals is not only nice to look at cocktails ;-) Although it is advisable not to get too close to this plant – it is unfortunately poisonous – and not to be used as a gourmet cocktail decoration ...
For cough sufferers, however, the ivy leaf extracts are a successful medicine to relieve the cough ...

Solch eine Verzierung aus winzigen Kristallen ist nicht nur an Cocktails nett anzusehen ;-) Obwohl es anzuraten ist, dieser Pflanze hier nicht zu nahe zu kommen – sie ist leider giftig – und sie nicht als Gourmet-Cocktail-Dekoration zu verwenden ...
Für Hustengeplagte sind die Blattextrakte des Efeus allerdings ein erfolgreiches Arzneimittel, um den Husten zu mildern ...

Day 334/365:
Filling up the advent box, for our grandson, ready for tomorrow. I made the box last year and on Christmas day our little treasure brought it back to us with pasta shapes in each drawer. He was so pleased with himself.
...of mother earth. With a few reddish seeds waiting to sprout. The spoon handle extends far right. Inspired by #MacroMondays; I think this might be the last experiment.
This is how I see ;) This looks far too shallow for my husband. Hence, no need to comment if you see and prefer f/16 or a smaller aperture ;)
Day 141/365:
After a busy day we were planting our patio tubs and the light was failing when I realised I hadn't got my photo. I put a begonia on the table with a faded red washing up bowl behind it and after a few attempts decided on another multiple exposure. The colours were so vibrant that I toned it down with a bit of faffery and added a texture or two.

#80 in my 100 x challenge - 100 Lensbaby images
Feeling rather guilty to have picked this cosmos from the garden just as a photo prop but needs must sometimes. There are still plenty for the pollinators.
This is one of two small vases I bought a couple of weeks ago and thought it was perfect for the cosmos.

Having to post and run, back later to catch up.

12/31: October 2022: A month in 31 pictures
A bit of a cheeky one today, I took a photo of my computer screen showing this entry for the October challenge 2020. If you read yesterday's post you will understand why..
This is our dearly departed Bruno and I felt he deserved another showing. He was the most amazing rescue dog. We adopted him when he was 12 years old and he was with us for three and a half years. I made him this autumn leaf crown and he was so good about wearing it for a photoshoot.
The original 2020 photo in comments.

This year it is just perfect to roam through the forest. There has been little wind or frost, so the leaves are slow to leave their place on the branches. Time for a small series :-)

Dieses Jahr ist es einfach ideal, um durch den Wald zu streifen. Es gab bisher wenig Wind oder Frost, so dass die Blätter nur langsam ihren Platz an den Zweigen verlassen. Zeit für eine kleine Serie :-)

An autumn walk. / Ein Spaziergang im Herbst.
I'll be away for about two weeks, getting some fresh air in the mountains and relaxing and recovering from that blasted Corona virus ... so I won't be around most of the time.
Please take care of yourselves !
Some or you might remember:
My Flickr name had been "smiling frogs" for a few days back in December 2020 when my account suddenly vanished in front of my eyes ...
But I still love frogs; this is a cute birthday card : ))
I played around a bit in Topaz Studio here (mainly Hello Highlights, 10% opacity) and Analog Efex : ))

Also # 76 in my 100 x challenge
I really wasn't going to do a dahlia shot today but I've been out with friends and didn't get a chance to get a photo until I got home and the light was starting to go. I quickly took my camera into the garden and photographed my cafe au lait.
This is the same shot blended in PS and the top image rotated 180° I did adjust the colour a little too...artistic licence ;)
