Macro Mondays - Stack
Recipe tiles are 1" square, stack is 1/12' high, image is 2 3/4" on the long side
It's unfortunate that I do not have a tile for Stacked Enchiladas, lol!
Happy Macro Mondays! : )

Some 1st of April fun with a red hot (well, not that hot) chili pepper and a so-called Lady finger banana. These smallest "dessert" bananas are also known as fig bananas, sugar bananas, or date bananas due to their sweet, complex, and delicious taste. To complete the confusion, in German, these finger-long, thin-skinned fruits are also known as "apple bananas" or "baby bananas". And it gets particularly interesting when taking into account that, in German, bananas once were referred to as "Paradiesfeigen" ("paradise figs") which brings us back to the "fig-" or, even more fitting, "apple" bananas. Speaking of going bananas while doing the banana research for this theme...
The chili pepper is one of the easily accessible, run-of-the-mill, long red peppers of medium heat that are sometimes referred to as Jalapeños but technically aren't. After peeling (and eating) the banana, I cut off a bit of the banana's stem and carefully placed the chili pepper inside of the skin so that what you see of the "forbidden fruit" inside the frame wasn't any longer than 6,5 cm/2,55 inches.
The image is a focus stack made of 15 images. The in-camera stacked JPG looked good already but combining the Raw files in Helicon Focus yielded an even better result with method B, radius 8, smoothing 1.
P.S. In German, we say "April, April" after having fooled someone on the 1st of April ;)
HMM, Everyone, and don't let yourself get fooled ;)
Hot days are coming have a great Sunday !
Some Like It Hot - Marilyn Monroe
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna kissed by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!
Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own!
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!

e sorvê-lo delicado até ao fim
enquanto olho o mapa cá dentro

This is the famous Dragon Tree (Dracaema draco).

More than 130 years old, this Dragon Tree at the Hotel Del Coronado is a stunner. Even the hotel itself says that the tree "is almost as iconic as their signature red roofs". And it is right outside the front door of the hotel. Well, it is a little bit offset, but if you are walking up the walk from the beachside area towards the front door, you walk right past it.
Inscription. Native to the Canary Islands this unusual tree was planted at The Del prior to the turn of the century where it thrives in our temperate southern California coastal climate.
The Dragon Tree was used as a backdrop in the Marilyn Monroe movie Some Like It Hot, which was filmed at The Del in 1958.
I think they need to update the Inscription to indicate that it was the turn of the 20th Century not the 21st Century.

Karson, our church cat will be turning 16 years old this coming May 3rd, which makes him about 104 years old in human years.
Not sure if I am calculating it right.

Some Like It Hot - Marilyn Monroe - I'm Through With Love
I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said "Adieu" to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you
Or no one
And so I'm through with love
I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I have stocked my heart
With icy frigid air
And I need to care for no one
And so I'm through with love
Why did you leave me
To think that you could cared?
You didn't need me
For you have your share
Of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
With deep emotion
Devotion to you..........
Tribute to Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962), painted by expressionist artist Stephen B Whatley with deep prayer and passion on the exact 40th anniversary of her tragic passing - August 5, 2002.
The date is especially poignant to the artist, as it was the same date in 1981 that his beloved beautiful 37 year old mother was tragically lost. Heaven glitters with goddesses...
The portrait tribute was inspired by a still from the film Some Like It Hot (USA 1958).
Oil on canvas, 30 x 24in/76 x 61cm

Some like it hot
So desperate are they to believe it's summer, they strip off at the first hint of sunshine.
That sea doesn't look too inviting, does it?
Zooming in on this New Forest foal it can be seen that she is wearing a daisy on her forehead and munching a small oak branch . She must be a "society girl" >))
The courtyard at night. Can't think of a fitting title.
The whole hotel was just incredible. Well, except for the SCREAMING kids. You would have thought it was a McDonalds playland...
As a pot of chili burbles away on the stove, I actively seek out what I could light on fire to capture a flame for the MacroMonday challenge "Flame". Meanwhile, hubby wanders through the kitchen, taking a little taste of the chili, happily commenting "Now that's HOT!" .... I will admit to a little photographic creativity .... my chili - while spicy - doesn't actually burst into flame (yet).

The Swiss-Austrian-German television series "Das Netz" deals with criminal machinations in football. It leaves no doubt about the mafia-like structures of FIFA.

The legendary ‘Del’ - the Hotel Del Coronado, famously the purportedly-Floridian setting for ‘Some Like It Hot’ (1959).
The joy of my back lacing design is that the clothes can flex to fit different body shapes ☺️ My Poppy Parker Spice is on an FR6 body which I think enhances her Marilyn vibes and I think she brings an extra element of va va voom to this hot pink dress!
This is my second version of the detachable circular skirt. This time I did a half circle (the first version was a quarter circle). This is closer to the classic fifties silhouette I had in mind but I think I will continue the series and make a 3/4 circle next. Also, on this version, the issue of the uneven hem really came to the fore so in my next version I will need to address that issue. This is all part of the challenge of having no design or sewing training at all (I am entirely self-taught) - all issues of this kind are encountered as part of the process so when I come across an issue I have to research the solution. It’s a very organic way to learn but all part of the fun! ☺️
