Have a "Happy Macro Monday"
and a good start into the new week.
Stay safe/Bleibt gesund! 🌸
Many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
Another shot from today, can't decide which set up I like better so I posted both. I feel like this image is more in line with my style.
For the theme this month Lisa red stilletto chose three themes, Tabletop, Old Gold and Lost Treasure. I've chosen Tabletop and Old Gold.
These Portmeirion Canisters are very special to me, they were given to me by a very dear friend.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
In Western culture, red camellias symbolise love, passion, and deep desire. In China, the camellia represents the union between two lovers. The delicately layered petals represent the woman, and the calyx (the green leafy part of the stem that holds the petals together) represents the man who protects her. The two components are joined together, even after death. Typically when the petals of a flower fall off, the calyx will stay intact. With camellias however, the calyx and petals fall away together, which is why the camellia also represents eternal love or long-lasting devotion.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” for the 3rd of September is “flora on a black background”. This camellia bloom comes from one of my older Camellia Japonicas that are just coming into flower in my front garden. With its passionately red petals, it seemed the perfect choice to be snapped against a background of soft black velvet. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
Camellia japonica, known as common camellia, Japanese camellia, Japanese rose or Tsubaki in Japanese, is one of the best known species of the genus Camellia. Sometimes called the rose of winter, it belongs to the family Theaceae. It is the official state flower of Alabama.

I've no idea why, but I seem to have very little that's orange. It's not that I don't like the colour. Anyway, I was relieved to see the description for this week's challenge said only that the image must have orange 'in it'. Phew! I wanted to be sure I posted something this week so that I could wish Hans well and say that I hope he's well along the road to recovery and will be back with us very soon. It also gives me an opportunity to thank Hans and all of the admins for the stellar work they do that helps make this one of the best groups on Flickr. We appreciate you!
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Orange. The orange mushroom is just over 1¼" across at its widest point.
More wabi-sabi, with graceful lines and a crunchy blossom, all leaning over the edge of the vase. I particularly like the way the upper leaf caresses the blossom.
Again, as the result of a multi-image focus stack, it should reward pretty close examination.
