Day 142/365:
This a is a double exposure, I took the first image totally blurred and the second in focus.
Sorry I'm still unable to catch up. Tomorrow my sister is coming over from France to stay with us for about 10 days. It will be difficult to get a photo each day but I'll do my best but it will most likely be a case of post and run
Inspired by #MacroMondays and theme #Curves. I learn quite a bit from this group by researching a word or theme. And discussing themes with my husband. For this theme, he first brought me an old set of French curves, templates used in his physics class.
These are tiny wood shavings he also thought I might use. I popped them into my soft box, used natural sunlight, and felt delighted with the little curls and curves. I hope you like them.
Width of the frame left to right measures less than 4cm/1.57 inches.
and for those interested, a small series of fern images
(including this one) and a few words here:

I'm in the process of clearing out all kinds of things. Lots of magazines, old paper samples, print proof copies and, above all, office paperwork – yes, even books will still have to believe in them ;-) – end up in the paper garbage can. And since metal has no place in the waste paper, I neatly pulled off these old paper clips. And I will probably keep these little ones, at least the unbent ones – even if I will most likely not use them anymore. An outdated method – because: who still prints something today and then staples it together?

Ich bin gerade dabei, alles Mögliche auszumisten. Ganz viele Magazine, alte Papiermuster, Belegexemplare und vor allem Papierkram aus dem Bereich Büro – ja selbst Bücher werden noch dran glauben müssen ;-) – wandern in die Papiermülltonne. Und da Metall im Altpapier nichts zu suchen hat, habe ich diese alten Büroklammern säuberlich abgezogen. Und werde die Kleinen wohl aufbewahren, jedenfalls die unverbogenen – auch wenn ich sie höchstwahrscheinlich nicht mehr verwenden werde. Eine veraltete Methode – denn: wer druckt heute noch etwas aus und heftet es dann zusammen?

#CrazyTuesday / #Outdated
I was ridiculously excited to see my first wild praying mantis in Crete.
He was super relaxed about me scurrying around with my macro lens, just relaxing on this picnic bench in the park for the whole hour or so we were there.

Another shot of one of my agapanthus flowers emerging. I find them fascinating and love to observe the different stages as they develop. I think this looks like it's wearing a little bonnet.

Smile on Saturday theme - Title Wanted
I had a couple of titles in mind but thought I would wait for some suggestions as that's what the theme suggests.
Title chosen by Paul Fraser, thank you very much for the suggestion Paul.
This echinacea flower has been very slowly dying but I can't bring myself to cut it yet as it still looks so beautiful (through my eyes anyway)
I may have to add this to my flower challenges if I don't get enough 'live' flowers by the end of the year but will hold off for now.
Happy Saturday everyone.
Sunset at the pier in Scheveningen / The Netherlands, it was a wonderful sunny, but cold winter day ...
Experimented with shallow depth of field and a minimalist composition
and for those inclined, 'Celeste' by Pete Kuzma from the album Equilibrium: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsWSvLmw1g0 :-)
comments returning soon ;-)
in the present.. my gratitude for the quiet company!!
Hi Everyone!
I took a notion to check our the interior of a hibiscus with the macro lens. Whaddya know, there were spots before my eyes!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a lovely day!

"The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice."
~ Andrés Segovia Torres
I absolutely agree with the quotation of that virtuoso and famous Spanish classical guitarist :
I first learned to play the violin as a teenager - much later as an adult I finally got myself a classical guitar ... and love the possibility of polyphony with the fingerstyle.

Happy Macro Mondays, everyone !!

"Die Gitarre ist ein kleines Orchester. Sie ist mehrstimmig. Jede Saite hat eine andere Farbe, eine andere Stimme."
~ Andrés Segovia Torres
Da stimme ich absolut zu:
Ich habe als Jugendliche zuerst gelernt, Geige zu spielen - viel später dann als schon Erwachsene habe ich mir schliesslich ein Konzertgitarre zugelegt.
And der Gitarre liebe ich die Möglichkeit der Mehrstimmigkeit, insbesondere mit dem Fingersyle (Fingerpicking).

I'm making a start on designing my Christmas cards and tags for this year. This is a close up of some of the tags.

Male Anna's Hummingbird turned his head and his iridescent feathers caught what little light existed.

100 Flowers 2020
I used a film filter on this and quite liked the vintage feel it gave.
For the Crazy Tuesday group’s theme of narrow field of focus, or open aperture/shallow depth of field. Hope this passes muster.
Using the camera on my iPhone as I enter the 14th month of my 6th month self-challenge!

Hello All,
I've always enjoyed all of the varied stages of a flower's development. This nearly-formed flower attracted my attention during a walk in the neighbourhood. I thought the petals looked like fingers ... I guess I am a hopeless romantic.
Thank you Lou for the ID! I am so appreciative of my Flickr friends who help me out in so many ways! Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
Thank you so much for your views and for leaving a comment. I do appreciate hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

... and I am not even a real sea person : ))
Same evening and place (Lake Constance, Germany) as my second last post - just another point of view
It's always worth changing your perspective - in life and in photography, isn't it !?

... und ich bin nicht einmal ein "Meeresmensch" : ))
Derselbe Abend und derselbe Ort wie in meinem vorletzten Beitrag - nur aus einem anderen Blickwinkel (Bodensee bei Unteruhldingen)
Es lohnt sich immer, die Perspektive zu wechseln - im Leben und in der Fotografie, nicht wahr ?

#93 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
This beautiful rose is called a whiter shade of pale and was a present for my last big birthday. A little scary as my next big birthday is coming up next year.

Searched the archives for something other than blossom shots!!! Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for all the kind comments and favs on my recent uploads :)
Another (or the same) Northern Shrike with a spot of red on beak and a few feathers. Suddenly ubiquitous, but on a beautifully clear, cold, windy day.

The Latin species name of the Northern Shrike, Lanius excubitor, means "Butcher watchman."

“Happiness lives inside of the smallest moments.”
― Christy Ann Martine
for example, when finding beauty in rust and moss ...
this is a rusty, mossy screw head on a weathered green fence post - seen on a Sunday stroll through the spring fields ... and I couldn't resist its rugged beauty : ))
Wishing you a lot of small (and big) moments of happiness and joy !!
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking time to make a comment - very much appreciated <3
