Located in the heritage rose atrium.

Roxborough Park Rose Gardens, Castle Hill.

Hills District, north-western Sydney.

For centuries, the Damask rose has symbolized beauty and love. The fragrance of the rose has been captured and preserved in the form of rose water by a method that can be traced to ancient times in the Middle East and later to the Indian subcontinent.

Macro Mondays - theme: imperfect

This faceted crystal sun-catcher was a gift from my father. It's already a bit worse for wear after all those years, with a chipped edge (or two) and a lot of micro scratches. But it still refracts the light beautifully ...

taken with the manual Laowa 60mm ultra macro lens @ about f4

width of this frame (on the long side): about 3.5 cm at max

Happy Macro Monday !

I will be catching up tonight

This is one of my tulips and I like that vibrant red colour which looked even more vibrant in the backlight. I don't have many tulips in my garden and every Spring I think that I should have planted some more in Autumn.

Taken this morning. These flowers are just so beautiful in the sunlight.

Taken for Macro Mondays - theme "Father"

(here: something that was given to me by my father)

This faceted crystal sun-catcher was a gift from my father. If I remember correctly, he brought it with him from an inpatient rehab stay.

It's already a bit worse for wear after all those years, with a chipped edge (or two) and a lot of micro scratches. But it still refracts the light beautifully ... it hangs on the balcony door of my study. A lovely memento ♡

... shine on !

( the whole suncatcher is just under 4 cm in diameter )

Happy Macro Mondays, everyone !

Sunlit Maple leaf

I bought some tulips at the supermarket last week to bring a little bit of spring into my home and thought I should take a photo before they start losing their petals. :)

This is one of the tulips in my garden. The photo was taken before winter returned with snow and cold temperatures. I hope that at least some of the tulips which are still supposed to flower survived the cold spell, especially as I did whatever I could to protect them.

One benefit of our new home is the wonderful clear view to the west, making it great for catching some great sunsets.

On a cold cold winter morning, the Starlings were up in the treetops to catch the sun!

The sunlight in the spiderweb caught my eye.

The cozy and rural ambiance portrayed in this setting owes much to the LouChara Isla Daybed Collection, inclusive of the day bed, rugs, candles, shelf, and wall art. This collection is available at their primary store, located at: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Bay/140/173/4002

*A little tip my friend thought of is to make the catcher full bright to have it mimicking catching the sun from your windlight in dusky lights.

A beautiful rainbow of colors magically appeared on my wall this morning. I have a suncatcher in another window which helped to created this image.
