Betagan - a medicine used to control glaucoma. This has no preservative so after use, the plastic container has to be discarded. I suppose that we humans have to accept that there will be some some single use items we can't do without. I recycle these so I hope they go to be melted down and made into other things.

The European name for the flower is a misuse of the Persian word for turban, a mistake probably originating in the common Turkish custom of wearing flowers in the folds of the turban. Or because this eastern flower resembled a turban when not in full bloom.

I didn't manage to take a single shot of Skovtårnet. This photo is stiched together by 5 photos.
That is because the forest tower is located in the middle of Gisselfeld's forests. The experience already starts when you first step onto the 3,2 kilometer long raised footpath, which meanders through the forest, around the trees and over the streams, until the Skovtårnet suddenly fades into view between the trees.
Suddenly you stand in front of a 45 meter high tower.
The iconic architecture of the Forest Tower is inextricably linked to the hourglass shape, which is drawn from a cylindrical shape, where the bottom and top are maximized, while the middle is laced into a so-called hyperboloid shape. This narrowing in the middle of the construction is important for the experience in Forest Tower, as you get very close to three beautiful beech trees, which grow in the middle of the structure.
A single pole, a single silo...at least the trees have each other.
All I did here was a small amount of crop to eliminate a bit of road that seemed like a distraction.
For Telegraph Tuesday.

The one nice thing about our unseasonably cool Spring so far is that the woodland wildflowers seem to be lasting longer. Fairly late for a bloodroot to still be blooming so perfectly! Photographed in Perrot State Park near Trempealeau, Wisconsin.
Shoot as a test with Topcor-S 5cm f2 lens. A LTM lens from late fifties (1958). Short flange distance make use of focusing helicoids a breeze.
For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "observe the O..."
I've got folders full of shots of oranges .. they have such importance in my memory. As a post-war baby brought up with rationing of absolutely everything that you didn't grow in your own garden ..... Christmas was the one time we tasted a real orange! It was always in the toe of the Xmas stocking (which really was a woollen stocking!) and the last delight to emerge.
So there is a special place in my heart for the orange. And the most exotic oranges I can find are the ones with some leaves attached.

This twisted dried out leaf in the darkness of the forest was illuminated by a single sunbeam finding it's way through the branches. Hand held with a Nikkor Micro 40mm f/2.8 lens

No single sentence better explains the motives and direction of Hopkins’s life than this: “Man is created to praise.” He believed it as wholly as a man can believe anything; and when regret or sorrow over anything in [Hopkins’] life comes to a critic’s mind, this must be remembered.
-Humphry House, The Note-Books and Papers of Gerard Manley Hopkins (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1937), 416.
A thought can gain strength and grow into poetry, a short story or even a book. All things have beginnings that are usually small and humble. Great songs begin with a thought that grows into lyrics. A musical note will grow into a melody, a chorus, a hook and a refrain. A single flower in a bud vase can become a flower bouquet when we give thought to something bigger. “A Single Thought” can change how we write a story and how the outcome of a story can change. Thanks for viewing my work. I just had another thought, Gratitude and Kindness can change a life, maybe even yours.
