A baseball settles into the stitched webbing of a leather ball glove as a catch is made. Unfortunately, I forgot to clean up the baseball before the shot, so you see a bit of dirt smudge on it... Oh well, I kinda like 'em that way, as it shows that they've been used. :-)
Done for Macro Mondays: Stitch theme
An interesting aside about stitches: When Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs won the World Series earlier this month, it had been 108 years since they last won the championship. A baseball: it has 108 stitches. Coincidence? I hope so, because I don't have time to wait another 108 years for the next championship... :-)

De Valensole, en direction d'Allemagne en Provence, il y a un petit chemin où se promènent des oliviers et que la lavande aime accompagner...
The tree was traditionally decorated with edibles such as apples, nuts, or other foods. In the 18th century, it began to be illuminated by candles which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification. Today, there is a wide variety of traditional ornaments, such as garlands, baubles, tinsel, and candy canes. An angel or star might be placed at the top of the tree to represent the archangel Gabriel or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity.Edible items such as Gingerbread, Chocolate and other sweets are also popular, and are tied to or hung from the tree's branches with ribbons.
Our tree as you can see is covered with everything & anything, a real eclectic mix
I can take no credit for the final outcome other than getting the tree down from the loft & dressing the tree in lights in a very artist manner

The quaint fishing village of Eland’s Bay (Elandsbaai) might be only two hours from the city of Cape Town, but it is about as far off the beaten track as you can get, with so little travelling time.
Eland’s Bay is one of those gems that have managed to elude the rush of development and city dwellers to stake their claim on a piece of the coast - this is sand and sea with little else to lure the average holiday maker. The modest seaside town is worth the rather arduous journey (roads tend to be quite dilapidated as you head closer to Eland’s Bay with a dirt road detour to contend with), particularly as Verlorenvlei (lost natural wetland) - one of the biggest estuaries on the Cape West Coast region with thousands of birds including flamingos and pelicans - lies on the approach to Eland’s Bay. Verlorenvlei is the site of no fewer than 232 types of birds.
During my business trip to Toulouse this week I was lucky to enjoy two hot summer nights in the city, and take captures of incredibly beauty sunset. Pont Neuf from 1632 is the oldest bridge over river Garonne.
Kaltene beach Latvia.
I had a great time in Latvian sea-side with my family. Lots of beautiful moments in nature. Deepness in another level.
I'm glad to see you all have been so productive. See you!:)

Tawhai Falls is a curtain waterfall in the Tongariro National Park on New Zealand's North Island, a small distance north of Whakapapa Village and Mount Ruapehu.
This was taken on a crisp but clearing morning in Autumn, March 2016.
Inside the Sancaklar Mosque in Büyükçekmece, İstanbul.
Note from 2021: It's hot, the south of the country is literally on fire, the north of the country is battling with floods, the pandemic continues to soar and nothing seems to change for the better; this is one of those moments in life, you feel you are losing it all. This place is a lighthouse in fog and storm. Keep your calm, stay on route, weather the times!
Seen in Kula Botanical Gardens, Maui, Hawaii. I think it is a purple / violet Iris flower. Hope you like it.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!

A painterly version of a photo posted earlier, this digitally enhanced image done for Sliders Sunday shows a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) just after he had found a treat in a dead tree stump. While the original image showed a winter scene, I decided to warm things up just a bit with the background in this one. :-)
The original image is in the first comment.
