Macro Mondays theme: Keychain (image is cropped to fit within the 3" limit)
My daughter picked up this miniature Eiffel Tower keychain while on her travels around Europe in the Fall of 2022. She had spent a semester studying abroad and stayed in Cologne, Germany. She admits that Paris was her most favourite place to visit among all of the places she travelled to.
Today I thought I'd get one more photo in before I have to take my Christmas tree down. Everything is finally put away now till next year.
Thanks for your visit! I hope you have a great day! HMM!

A pincushion Protea
Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes.
The genus Protea was named in 1735 by Carolus Linnaeus after the Greek god Proteus who could change his form at will, because proteas have such different forms.
Proteas attracted the attention of botanists visiting the Cape of Good Hope in the 1600s.
Together with the Springbok Antelope, the Protea had been treated as a sometimes controversial national symbol in South Africa, both during and after apartheid.
I photographed this in the studio, playing with lights yet again, flags and cutters...
I wanted it to look like fireworks.
Hope you enjoy it? Thanx, M, (*_*)

Sunbeams break through cloudy skies over Bahía de Banderas, a bay on the Pacific Ocean Coast near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Veronica longifolia , Long-leaved Speedwell
Please view large for all the lovely detail!
This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds
Slender, upright spires of white, pink and blue tubular flowers appear in summer above cream-edged, mid-green leaves.
This elegant speedwell shows a good resistance to mildew and will add vertical interest throughout a sunny border on well-drained soil.
If cut back after the flowers have faded, it may produce a second flush in late summer or early autumn.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

One of my favorite photos I've ever made. I frequently photographed the bees writhing amongst the stamens fallen in clumps on the petals of my Southern Magnolia's flowers. This little feller actually fell off the petal while clutching an armful of stamens as he fell, but of course quickly righted himself and flew back onto the petal. Just an awesome capture for me. For the flickr group, "Smile on Saturday," and this week's theme: Free Theme. Click on the photo twice to view it at maximum size.
John Ray wrote the first proper bird book in the English language in 1678 (though he published the same work in Latin two years earlier). There were earlier books that referenced birds, often with a more general natural history theme, but Ray's was the first devoted to birds. In this first bird book Ray gave three names to this species; "The common Barn-Owl, or White-Owl, or Church-Owl". So one name referred to its unique owl colour, and two referred to its habitat preferences. Interestingly Ray gave the name "Ivy-Owl" as an alternative to our Tawny Owl, and I usually find them roosting in Ivy. The next major work on birds was Thomas Pennant in 1768, though it was a more general work on Zoology. Pennant coined the term warbler used for so many of our birds, and he often led the way for the selection of the accepted British name. But Pennant backed the wrong horse in this instance and chose White Owl. Later authors were reluctant to lose Barn Owl and often kept both names, such as William Yarrell in 1843. He listed both names but in his text showed a clear preference for Barn Owl, and the BOU officially adopted Barn Owl in 1883. So that is why a bird that nests freely in holes in trees, nest boxes on posts, and a variety of old buildings, has become linked to barns. Before I leave the names, the name Screech Owl was widely used and pre-dates Ray as it was first used in 1593. And Barn Owl does indeed screech. Have a listen on xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/604167 , but the name Screech Owl has been adopted for different species of owl in America.
I photographed this hunting Barn Owl recently not far from my home while I was out for an afternoon walk. It was hunting over an abandoned grass field. You can see by the bramble over the wall that the field hasn't been used for some time.

A seventy plus year old Christmas tree ornament discovered along with many others in the attic of Pam’s mother who passed at 99+ April, 2022. Ornament is slightly under 2 1/2 inches. Composition cropped to just under 3 inches. Sidelit in soft box with glitter paper background. iPhone flashlight aimed toward background glitter paper. Square.
Just for fun! I thought of traffic lights as soon as I saw the theme name. Nothing to do with recycling etc. but that's ok, I do my bit for the environment, I turned green years ago! :))
Le theme/défi du groupe Smile on Saturday m'a fait pensé que souvent je fais des photos de cartes postales. Par contre j'en achète rarement mais si je les trouve intéressante, je fais une photo comme ça... bon samedi à tous et MERCI pour votre visite.
The theme of this Saturday on Smile on Saturday is postcard and greeting cards. This made me think of other postcards beside the one I already shared yesterday. Everywhere I went I saw postcards and I took photos of some I like as a souvenir. This one was at the store in Stovepipe in Death Valley National Park. Who has been there ?
That Magic Moment 💫
when two little kitties showed up at our back door on my daughter's birthday back on October 27, 2017, a brother and sister team who I swear are a little witch and a tinner warlock in disguise. Lots of magic resides here now.
For the Happy Caturday group theme "Special Moments".
"Magic, magic, magic, magic This magic moment, so different and so new"
This Magic Moment ~ Ben E King and The Drifters
The colour yellow is primarily associated with spreading happiness and joy; however, it is also the ideal colour for symbolizing friendship. With their bright hue and cheery personality, yellow flowers can be used to better someone's day and increase the positive energy in a room.
Yellow roses whisper the secrets of
laughter and long talks with friends.
