for Looking Close....on Friday

On one of the foggiest mornings I ever witnessed, I was on my way home from shooting a sunrise. I saw the mist coming in, a huge cloud just enveloping everything around me. I've always liked this tree, but with the mist and some of that golden hour light behind it, it became very painterly.

This plate of goodies is wrapped in clear cellophane with sparkly curly ribbon in festive colours of red, green and silver.

One of our four cats loves rolling in tissue paper. A big help when it comes to wrapping gifts. I always save a couple sheets for him.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

Previously unpublished shot from a cold day in September 2018. Storm Barra is on the way for Ireland, Scotland and Northern England tomorrow with gales and snow forecast - be sure to be fully wrapped too! Enjoy.

Pendant lighting with flower-shaped metal parts

Given that freezing rain had fallen overnight, it was surprisingly quiet when I first stepped outside. I found that slowly sliding my feet along the ground was the safest way to make my way towards my garden plants. The center of this flower sparkled in the early morning light of day, so I just had to capture the essence of this frozen beauty.

For Macro Mondays theme - Abstract

It's probably pretty obvious what part of this is but in case you can't guess, it's bubble wrap over scented washing beads. HMM

Still really busy but will try to get around to commenting a bit later.

Edit: The Exif info is changed when adding a border in Lightroom but I did take the photo today. Janet, if you need me to upload the original, I will, I just think the white enhances the colour.

An ice storm encased a budding plant in a frozen sphere. It reminded me of a crystal ball. Thank you, Mother Nature!

The gift wrap waiting to be opened

2020 wurde der Triumphbogen in Paris für zwei Wochen vollständig verhüllt – ein ephemeres Kunstwerk von Christo und Jeanne-Claude. Rund 25.000 m² Stoff und 3.000 m Seil hüllten das Monument ein und ließen die vertraute Architektur in neuem Licht erscheinen.

In 2020, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris was completely wrapped for two weeks, creating a temporary artwork by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Around 25,000 m² of fabric and 3,000 m of rope covered the monument, offering a fresh perspective on its familiar architecture.
