Macro Mondays: "When I was a child....."
ODC: "Macro or Close up
When I was a child my dad brought me to school on the bicycle in the morning. I always used to look to the spinning pedals. It was so fascinating for me
When I was a child I used to love catching butterflies and ants. I would catch them examine them closely for some time and release them. I was so good that I could catch any butterfly or insect with bare hands. This went on until one day my mom caught me holding a butterfly. She asked me how I would feel if someone held me tight and wouldn’t let me go. “click” that was my moment of epiphany and yup it did sound like click in my head. That day onwards I stopped catching butterflies. I think I lost my butterfly mojo after that or maybe it is “karma” ……either way I can’t seem to get closer to butterflies anymore to take a good picture of them. This is my third butterfly picture in over a year. HMM everyone

This week's theme: When I was a child .. I used to play hopscotch drawing the court with a white chalk on pavement.
This is a miniature. I drew with chalk a hopscotch court (20x50cm) on a black slate tile (30x60cm).
HMM to everyone, my FlickrFriends! :)

"When I was a Child..." my Grandad used to buy me Anemones from Leeds Market, I loved their jewel like colours. This one is from my garden, taken last year, as you can see the love I have for them is still strong.
HMM and Have a good week everyone, will catch up later
For Macro Mondays - When I was a child...
When I was a child, I loved to imagine new stories and fantastic worlds, sometimes out of nothing.
As you can see, it's always the case today !
Quand j'étais petite, j'adorais inventer des histoires et imaginer des mondes fantastiques, parfois à partir de rien.
Et c'est toujours le cas aujourd'hui ! :)

Soccer was an important part of my life, both as a real sport and as virtual activities... Subbuteo! :-)
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
-Walt Disney
When I was child, my mom would start a Disney movie when I was sad. Back then, it was Cinderella that was my favorite.
When Cinderella was sad, there were those little mice and birds coming to help her and she would cheer up.
Later on it became The beauty and the beast because Belle would move into this castle with this big, terrible monster but her friends made sure that she knew that nothing in this world is really bad and that not everything is as bad as it seems.
And in the end, it would be The Lion King, because no matter how bad things would get at some time, it will always get better and everything will be fine...even when things change.
When I was a child.....baseball was the sport played in our backyard in New Jersey. I have three brothers and six sisters so we pretty much had our own family team. Now, just a few years later, baseball still rules with my own kids!

When I was a child I spent countless hours making flower illustrations like this simple one you see here :-) HMM!
Macro Mondays Theme " When I Was A Child -----"
I was bought this pair of shoes, by my Auntie Jeanne, when I about 3. I have a photograph of me wearing them to a wedding in about 1947. I was looking very proud of my shiny new shoes
Macro Monday = When I was Child; i would chase these delicate treasures, catch them and then, make a wish.
Thanks to all who commented and faved. this photo. It was a super challenge this week and interesting reading the wonderful stories/ of all who participated. Getting to know something about the MM gang!
When I was a child... I played countless hours with this train.
It was December 1979. I was 5 years old. We traveled to Germany to visit family. Every single morning, my uncle left a small toy car (Matchbox or Majorette) next to my bed, so I would have a present from him when I woke up. Every single morning! Well, with two exceptions: the first morning I found an amazing toy Caterpillar hydraulic shovel, and on Christmas I got from him this electric train.
Back in Buenos Aires I would spend full afternoons playing with the train and the cars, building cities around with Lego.
Almost 37 years later, this train is the only toy I brought to New York with me (just the locomotive, the rest of the cars and the tracks are still in Buenos Aires). I did bring back last Summer some Matchbox cars that a childhood friend found in his home and returned to me. Pictures of two of those are in my photostream a month or two back.
Needless to say this is one of the most fond memories I keep from that age. It was really nice to take the locomotive out of the box and play with it once more (yes, finding the right angle for the shot now qualifies as playing with the toy! In fact, the angle I chose is one my eyes would see often while playing).
HMM to all!
yo ho yo ho, I thought the pirates life was for me!

This moment am back to my childhood,reminiscing those memories. Thank You MACRO MONDAYS!! :-)
This week's assignment for Macro Mondays is "When I was a Child".
When I was a child I have put sticks in dog waste, but it seemed to me that this is not really appropriate for a macro shot ;-) LOL
So when I was a child I loved blowing bubbles. With this week's theme that childhood time came back and I had lots of bubble fun like a little girl.
HMM everyone!
I absolutely loved to read comics! It was my personal concept of heaven taking my weekly pocket money to the shop to get a new comic and a bag of colourful mixed sweets.
Once started, I had to continue of course with a torch under the blanket after "switching out time",
When I was a child, my favourite after school treat was peanut butter cookies and milk. For Macro Monday. HMM!
Macro Mondays - "When I was a child...."
I used to spent hours playing with my cars. This was my favourite one of them all. I lost this car many years ago. So I started searching fairly intently for this car. I scoured the Flea Markets until one day I did find one, albeit it was in rough condition for $4.00.
I looked on Ebay but most of them were 300 plus dollars and that was an expensive memory. Luckily two months ago I happened to find someone in the U.K. selling one for around $45.00 and jumped at that.
Here she is. Ford Zodiac.
The reason this was my favourite in all my cars, was that it resembled my Dad's 1955 Ford Monarch.
When I saw this topic come up, I knew exactly what I was going to shoot.
Happy Macro Monday
This is a very young garden snail that I saw yesterday in my backyard. It brings back memories of my childhood when I used to collect them and treat them as pets.
When I was a child , I loved this silver necklace with tiny clog pendant, given to me when we visited our family in Holland. As we were not allowed to wear jewelry with our school uniforms, I proudly wore it on weekends and during school holidays. I kept it for a daughter - but got two wonderful sons!!
I have just dug it out of a drawer, cleaned the silver by dipping it in boiling water with aluminium foil and baking soda. Now I am wearing it again after many many years.
Closeup of some pieces of the game "Monopoly". For Macro Mondays theme "when I was a child...". We played this game a lot growing up, usually to occupy a rainy Saturday afternoon. Also for 2016: one photo each day (129/366)
I was a tomboy when I was a kid and I loved frogs. I still do. This one found a hole in a railroad tie that borders one of my flower beds. Mr. Toad was a welcomed summer guest. :-) HMM!
... I was always saving my pennies for my next comic!
(Usually an X-Men edition)
(The coin is about 3 decades too new to be authentic)
HMM!

my grandfather played with the Banjo Tainers. Three banjos and a piano, they played regionally in Michigan, Wisconsin and Canada in the 50's and 60's. Rehearsals were generally at my grandparents house and my brother and I "played" the maracas (in the 60's :))
This is his pick and tiny banjo pin. One of the best pictures I have of him playing his banjo is in the comments. See the look on his face, it's priceless :)
Happy Macro Monday!
When I was a child, I loved fishing, and would go whenever I could. Thankfully we lived a mile away from a lake, so much of the summer was spent fishing. I actually still love fishing, but don't do it very often, and almost never with a bobber unless I'm with my kid. I'm hoping we have some fishing adventures together down the road. HMM! #130/366

Many playing years later the original blue paint had nearly completely vanished and - I admit it, I'm not one the Great Dutch painters - it was 'painted'' white (probably the only available color in the house at that moment).
