This is my miniature cork box that I love with these small small dices. This is my contribution for the theme "made of wood" for #smileonsaturday.
Thanks indeed everyone for your personal comments and also your support from selected groups.
Awards are encouraging and especially from those that add my work to their 'faves'.

Macro Mondays: Treasured
A small collection of presents that are invaluable to me... The garnet heart was given to me from my mum (all the more treasured as it was one of the only survivors from a burglary during which almost all of my jewels, including some I was quite attached to for sentimental reasons, were stolen). The stone and the wooden heart were painted and given to me by the older of my two nieces, who's just turned 10. The flower in the back is the top of a box that was a long-ago Christmas present from my grandmother. We were so very close, and I still miss her a lot.
Life is full of hidden delights. Once I started studying the rudbeckias very closely, I noticed that there were tiny yellow flowers surrounding the dark center. Isn't nature wonderful?
I found some old treasures in a little store in Brunswick, Maine! The place was filled with friendly people and items from my past...such a fun memory!

- One of the antique items my wife loved very much.
- Antique (19th century) mother of pearl egg shaped snuff or pill box with an attached lid.
It has lovely brass or bronze fittings, two tiny handles for the closure and opening, and has a nice shell patina.
The box is 5 cm wide.

This flock of Brown pelicans were seen over San Francisco Bay from the end of Pier 14 in San Francisco. The SF - Oakland Bay Bridge Treasure Island are immediately behind them, and the Port of Oakland and Oakland Hills are further back.
A chest full of handblown glass baubles and shiny coins are the dreams of all treasure hunters everywhere. The last thing you hope to see are octopus tentacles guarding the bounty.
Take a peek inside and be captivated by the aroma and treasures that await you !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and awe inspiring day dearest Flickr friends !
!0 yr old photo of my family, Yoshi to the right. Only shadows so abstract and some colors from cubes and window light. Taken on a mountain hike in winter. HMM! Retro Polaroid!
My first watch was an Oris watch bought by my Mum when I was 18. My parents didn't have a lot of money but Mum made sure we were always fed and clothed well, so a watch for my 18 was a special treat. When I was 21 she bought me a beautiful Tissot watch which lasted quite a while. Mum always wanted me to have a lovely watch. Her Brother bought her a beautiful gold Omega watch for looking after him when he lived with us for 6 years and she treasured it. She always wanted me to have one but couldn't afford to buy me one. She started to save up as she grew older and said to me that one day I would be able to treat myself to a nice watch if she could save up enough money. When Mum passed away she left me and my Sister a small amount of money. I always remembered that she wanted me to have a lovely watch so I bought this beautiful timepiece, something that I love and will treasure forever.
Another view of Charles Island from this past spring. Charles Island is famous for being a 'treasure' Island. The longstanding legend is that in 1699 Captain Kidd, on his last voyage before being lured into a trap and executed, buried part of his treasure on the island. No booty has ever been found and the 14 acre island has no residents and is a bird sanctuary. The island is accessible by a sandbar that appears at low tide.
Adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. Book with map of Spanish ship - Hispaniola, world map, some interesting letter, knot learning page, real rope and much more!
Like a treasure map for adventure.
At the harbour's birthday festival i went along with some pirates and we boarded the 'Shtandart', a Russian frigate, build in 1703.
Sometimes the treasure that you seek is right in front of you. Just remember when you find it, hold it, take care of it because Love is the most valued of treasures.

They are all over the place
You just need to be aware of that they are out there
When I'm looking for positive things I see that I get more of them happening in my life
It's like a domino of happenings
I'm being fed like my little baby bird, the blue tit, but with positive stuff instead of more to eat
How nice to have that point of view
I feel fortunate that I can see upon things in a positive way, I learn much more by doing that

This is another shot in my 50mm lens challenge. It is also one that can only be taken effectively in Winter. For much of the year that beautiful art deco window frame is hidden behind a mass of foliage. But this is a damaged treasure. Unlike the Perrins building next to it, only this half of the symmetrical windows remains true to its original design. My Edward Newton page is also running some black and white city shots at the moment, and I will post a sad view of the entire window below. You will agree it has been sadly neglected (and even abused).
But at least we have this beautiful half of the upper floor window that reminds us of past glory days. Golden like Tutankhamun's mask.
It's been a while since I shot any HDR's, so heres one from tonight @ treasure island park, laguna beach, ca
Sorry if I missed your streams, flickr is acting up on me..

Flickr has the hiccups. We're looking into the problem right now."
A bookmark that my hubby made over eighty years ago, when he was a Cub Scout. Not only is it "treasured" - but it's an antique just like he is now. (And he is "treasured" too.)
Posted for Macro Mondays theme "Treasured". HMM!
Down the road and along the old highway, there was a short pullout that aloud full advantage of some quite special light. The Nicola Valley was once again showing me its fabulous, unabridged beauty.
The sunlight touched down on a distant bank, and reflected in the clear waters, leaving a wonderful shape. The thick cloud cover left the surrounding area in shadow, further emphasizing how distinctly different this trip would be. And, the few shots that would become treasures.
