Or, what to do during a bomb cyclone. We lucked out and dodged the storm by about ten miles as the crow flies. Very lucky. A foretelling of future storms to come!
Three beads. So tiny, each almost impossible to align.
(The Laowa lens magnifies by two.)
embrace the sky with tiny arms
distill the light in our chest
and all the dark carried within
into a single crystal drop
and let it stream
from gentle fingers onto broken skin
and mend the cracks that seep strange dreams
of joy and pain
of sunrise and of dusk
of the beginning, of the end.
ignite forgiveness
oneness
love.
and heal.

Time does not care about the weather. Neither does the weather care about the time.
Tick tock.
Happy Macro Mondays
It seems such a chore to comment.

Last year I made fabric pumpkins, this year I am crocheting them.
I took two shots of the pumpkins, one for the 365 and one for the October challenge. The other one is in comments.

This dwarf tree was here when we moved here. Hawthorn berries, perhaps.
Looked a tad dark as if this is a dark and rainy day ;-)) I lightened it a bit with a curve.
Comments unnecessary. Not all of you like dark and rainy days ;-))
Looking up at a single rose in front of the exterior of a home in Essex, England. Taken with the Canon 5D and their 50mm 1.4 lens with a shallow depth of field of f/2.5.
I knew I had these two but finding them was a whole other matter.
I thought two birds are better than one.

#Container
This is a detail of a small soy sauce container shaped like a fish that I took along from a nice sushi restaurant years ago because it looked/looks so cute. These "soy-sauce snappers" or "shoyu-tai" were invented in Japan in the 1950s to replace glass or ceramic bottles. Apparently, one can still buy them everywhere (at the big river, the big bay, and at other online stores) by the hundreds, but one shouldn't, of course, because they are made of plastic, and, as we all know, throw-away, single-use items made of plastic are a huge problem for the oceans and other waters. Microplastic particles have even been found in crystal clear, actually clean, and very remote lakes, so it's high time to return to glass or ceramic bottles for takeaway dishes. I will keep my cute little soy sauce fish so it won't end up anywhere where it could impose danger to the very creature it represents.
Size info: The part of the soy sauce container visible in my image is 3 cm/1,18 inches. This is a single image processed only in DXO PL6 and Lightroom. The setup was super simple, too: With modeling clay, I "glued" the fish onto a small glass jar to get the right height and placed it in front of blue glitter foam sheet (dull side up). I illuminated the little scene witn an LED photo lamp (natural light) from above, a warm-light LED lamp from the left, and a handheld flashlight (set on "spot") from the right to highlight the eye. That's it.
HMM Everyone, and have a nice autumn/spring week ahead!
I was trying to take photos of a beautiful tulip I'd been given, which had lovely frilly petals, and feeling frustrated because I couldn't get anything to work. Just then, 2 petals fell off a small tulip from a cheap supermarket bunch and floated down in front of it. So, I'm afraid this wasn't really planned. It just happened. :)
