Smile on Saturday - I love to - collect photo props

I couldn't resist this hand when I saw it in a shop window...the little dried roses are new too, from a local florist.

I finally picked my camera up today. I had to sit down to use it but it's a start. HSoS

Lensbaby Velvet 56 and Omni stretch glass crystal.

Day 173/365:

Definitely Dreaming - Brightly coloured

A day out with my camera club today. We went to a lovely little artisan bakery and cafe for lunch. They had this fabulous vibrant pottery which I assumed was for Pride week but apparently not, they just love vibrant stuff.

Ah yes. Setting the table used to be a thing. Not so much anymore.

Why is Flickr so difficult. It is still four clicks to go into a friends image to comment and then exit. Why is this so much effort? OR, is it just us peasants who no longer wish to pay pro prices.

They sure love their time on the deck. I do as well. Hopefully we will stiil sit on the deck when the snow flies.

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday

Shooting "macros" at 560mm never gets old for me.

Theme this week was a tough one for me (or maybe I'm just a bit rusty from missing the last few weeks). Eventually stumbled upon some macaroni in the back of our pantry. By keeping the aperture wide, the wafer-thin depth of field is focused between the ends of the macaroni.

HMM all!

This big boy is a new neighbour and lives 10 minutes from my house.. 😊

I have no idea what type of flower this is. I don't know if it really matters to me to find out. I found it at the Como Conservatory in St. Paul. I'm just drawn to the RED of the flower. Maybe it has to do with the impending snowstorm forecasted for tomorrow?

There is no way to tell how the dice will roll.

Is it my lucky day? Perhaps not.
