Canvases or gauzes were used primarily for religious and magical purposes. They were made for covering the head of the dead in the form of a headdresses. According to the beliefs of the time, the threads on these fabrics had to be spun in the form of an "S" in an anticlockwise direction. This thread, which had a magical character, was called lloque and, according to legend, the garments were infused with supernatural powers and served as protection in the afterlife.
Used the macro lens to capture these water drops on the leaf. Just love this time of year for pictures with the colors and weather.

Single use toothpicks being well guarded by an orange tabby for the Macro Mondays challenge: "single use."
Area shown is about 65mm wide.
Happy Macro Monday!
Using my lensbaby on a large patch of very bright Livingstone Daisies in Napier's Marine Parade Sunken Garden. The flowers were beautiful vibrant.
The "muselet" is the wire cap that holds in place the cork of sparkling wine bottles like Champagne or, in this case, Crémant from the Alsace region.
There is no way that you could put back the cork into a bottle once it has been opened. By extension, the "muselet" is therefore also a single-use object.
Shape and colors of a Monday after Christmas! lol!
Have a nice week ahead! Happy Blue Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

I no longer use my light meter now that I've swapped to digital and shoot with strobes most of the time. It still hangs on my tripod though, and I've forgotten how to use it. But sometimes, if I need to think while shooting someone, I'll hold out the light meter and act as though I'm metering light. I twist a few dials and mutter to myself as I think. It looks very professional and impressive.

It used to be that we would be boating in BC or AK during the weeks after Christmas and New Years. Winter boating in the Pacific NW isn't for everyone, but it was pretty much our favorite time. We sold our boat a few years ago, and we miss it a lot, especially this time of year. (the image is just under 3" from top to bottom.)
This close-up photograph captures the rich textures and deep hues of assorted dried flowers, a subject that often symbolizes eternity, memory, and nostalgia. Unlike fresh blooms, dried flowers represent a beauty that endures over time, often used to signify lasting love or preserved memories.
Symbolism and Meaning Eternal Love & Resilience: Dried flowers are powerful symbols of bonds that survive the passage of time. Nostalgia: They serve as physical touchstones, capturing a moment or season frozen in time. Transformation: They embody a beauty that ages gracefully, offering a different kind of wisdom than fresh blooms.

No use of filters in this shot, just f/16 with 3 bracketed exposures,nothing i like better is to come down to this wonderful place as the tide was coming in, i know i have shot this loads of times but i'm just capturing an image with some nice movement, the light was also fading fast hence the under exposed shot at f/16 was about 4 seconds, giving that foreground just enough movement, i think the same shot taken with 1 normal exposure would not give you the same effect, it really is worth while practicing these type of seascape images, you never know what you might achieve
Had to use my iPhone as it was too cold to bring out the camera. Bubbles frozen to the snow. It is -33C or -27.4F.

I used to play this game with my Granny many years ago. I found an identical version in a charity shop... same box depicting Chinese lanterns etc and the brightly coloured plastic pieces in side. Starting from triangle bases, arranged around a star, each player has to get their 10 pieces to the opposite side. In straight lines you can hop over the opponents pieces... get it well timed and it can look impressive. I would like a heavy wooden version of this game, but, like the one my granny had, this is cardboard.
Lit from beneath by placing the board minus its surround, on a clear acrylic box and directing flash underneath it. There is about two inches of the board here. HMM

First used normal oil painting effect at 70%, then cropped for a tighter focus. Then used inverse effect. Then used Adobe photoshop beta watercolor 7 effect. At that point enclosed in a fine blue border. Then used the holga art effect and finished with a fine scarlet border. Leaves located at the end of our street.
Note: Some of the images I am using for the Bird count were previously taken. I'm short on time at the moment. Also, less birds visit when the camera is visible.
For the bird count, there are three hummers here on a regular basis. One male and two females. They use the feeders on occasion but they prefer to nectar from the flowers most of the time. I believe that there is one couple and they may have started nesting in oak two. They fuss at me every time I get too close to that oak. Image taken through the window. I put the hummingbird feeder in the firebush outside the window and swap it out with a different feeder with fresh sugar water every three days. In the future, I will only purchase small feeders and they will all be the same. The idea is to be able to make the swap with a fresh clean feeder / water and bring the other one if to clean with little disturbance to the birds. They don't seem to mind too much that the feeder style changes often. But if I were buying them over again, I would go for small ones in order to save on sugar water. It's not expensive to make or anything but it does mold here in FL fairly quickly so it needs changed often for the birds health. I'd rather fill small ones each time :)

Every fall, geese travel impressive 3,000 miles (4,828 km) from their nesting grounds on Wrangel Island in Russia to Skagit Valley, arriving in early October. About 12,000 birds spend the whole winter in Skagit valley and leave in early spring.

I used this spoon in a photo recently and said it had a story behind it.
I bought it from a local Fair trade shop. It was made in Laos from aluminium salvaged from deactivated unexploded bombs dropped on their province during the secret war which took place between 1964 and 1973.
A percentage of the money from the sale of these spoons goes to a charity to help young disadvantaged Laotians further their education.
On a lighter note, I'll let you into a little secret. The patterned fabric is a pair of oversized knickers Gloria bought for a photo...what is she like? ;)

19th July 2017:
... Think you've got a point there, Cid."
As I didn't know what sort of a day I'd have after Graham fell yesterday, I was digging into the Happy Hippy bag as soon as I could for an emergency back up photo.
The weather hasn't been great either today, not raining, but overcast and dull, so I thought I'd give going out a miss and use my spare photo, which I had fun taking anyway and liked how it came out.
PS: Graham is feeling bruised and a bit weak, but he's been resting, sleeping for most of the day and I'm hoping that he'll be more like his old self by tomorrow.
Thank you all for asking.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
