These images ends my this years How to Survive the November journey.
Thanks Lepis for hosting again. We survived 😀
November begins, and we’ll keep this year rolling forward. The theme is ’round’, and you can interpret it any way you like. It can be a photograph, a painting, a drawing, a new or old picture, anything. Hopefully, it has ‘that certain something’.

This round vase is something I added to my vase collection, now I have to buy some flowers to compliment it. Something simple or more full – I read that: The open bowl-shape enables the flowers to sprawl out naturally, creating a full and overflowing display, perfect for full blooms, such as hydrangeas, peonies, or large roses. So now available in shops are roses.

How to Survive the November features a photo from last winter’s trip to Singapore. Today’s round features four dark, stylized figures holding a large, reflective chrome orb. The orb distorts the reflection of the hotel entrance and the surrounding area. The statue is located at the entrance to the Atlas Hotel. I’m the red spot 😀

Today, it’s just this for How to Survive the November. I enjoy candles, and these holders are one of my favorites due to their designs and the warm ambiance they create. There’s something truly magical about lighting a candle on a chilly November evening, making my home feel inviting and warm during this season of hibernation.

I posted photos on November 7, showcasing the beautiful carnations that I had carefully bought, and yesterday I took these images of the flowers still left, vibrant and resilient. They have proved to give me a little bit of everyday happiness for nearly three weeks, brightening my space and lifting my spirits amidst the usual routine. The simple joys in life, allowing me to pause and appreciate their beauty, as they subtly transform each day.
I did lots of edits so I could get all these challenges into one post; my internet connection is acting up, and it kept breaking up constantly yesterday. I made comments, but they did not show up for me as done, etc. It has cut me off a few times already, so after this post, I am going to paint for the rest of the day. This is too frustrating for me. Wishing everyone a great day.
Oh to continue about frustrations, I learned this morning that out water would be got of for a day, hopefully less. But I found this out after the fact. Great start for the day, no coffee for me,

Veikka was a lovely and loved cat, a cherished cat whose striking white fur glistened in the sunlight, making her the center of attention wherever she went; you could not miss her, as she was the size of a small dog. Her gentle purring provided a soothing soundtrack to quiet evenings, and her warm presence filled the hearts of her human companions with an unexplainable happiness. Veikka passed away years ago, but the photos pop up so often when I search my archives; her memory lives on through photographs; she was an inspiring model for me.
I read about this tree and found out this.
Within Scottish folklore, it was believed that chopping down a rowan tree would only bring bad luck as they are such a strong symbol of protection. Red is seen as a protective color; this is what attributes protection to the Rowan Tree. The berries were once thought to protect against enchantment and witchcraft.
The apple tree symbolizes a wide range of concepts, including immortality, health, love, and temptation. Its symbolism varies across cultures, appearing in mythology as a source of eternal youth (Norse), a representation of divine gifts (Greek), and a symbol of the cyclical nature of life and death (Celtic).

Today, I just gotta share some pics of the amazing food we had yesterday—it was a total feast for the eyes! Seriously, everything looked gorgeous and tasted so good. The flavors were delicious and there was so much variety that we couldn’t help but go for seconds (and maybe even thirds!). We really had an unforgettable evening. How to Survive the November

Today, I want to share a flower for the How to Survive the November.
I am creative with the theme ’round’ in today. Picture this: a flower frozen in ice, right at the center of it all! It really highlights how light plays off the ice and the bubbles.

Today, I want to share my work on progress and for the How to Survive the November.
Notice the different use of light in the images?

Today, I want to share something frosty for the How to Survive the November.
It’s super cold out there; right now, it’s -7C / 19F. These hydrangeas outside my window look like they’ve braved a freezing night, their delicate petals all frosty and glimmering. The sun’s shining and lighting up the flowers, which I managed to snap a pic of—the frost really does its thing, turning something basic into something special. I can’t help but admire how nature shows off its beauty even in the dead of winter, reminding me that there’s always something to appreciate, no matter how freezing it gets. I don’t need to look for anything else today; this round it up for me.

Back to gloomy weather again, not much else to say about that. Yesterday’s visit to the hospital, I ended up driving around for 15 minutes, not that bad, but I ended up being there earlier than I wanted, but at least I was not late. Results of these these tests will be released to me in December, still got one more test next week.
Today, again I want to share something not so relevant with you, for the How to Survive the November. I don’t think many, if any, people type with old-fashioned typewriters anymore, but they do have so much more photographic appeal than laptops. There’s a certain charm to the keys. Unlike modern laptop’s, they transport us back to an era when writing was a more deliberate, thoughtful process. The errors were certainly harder to erase, so one put more thought to before typing the first thing to mind.

Back to gloomy weather again, not much else to say about that. I’m on my way to the hospital for a few tests. Honestly, the parking situation there is such a pain. There are only a few spots available, which makes everything more stressful. I usually end up driving in circles, trying to find a place to park, all while hoping I won’t be late for my tests. The thought of missing my appointment because of parking just makes me more anxious, making this day drag on even longer than it already feels.
Today, I wanted to share something not so relevant with you, for the How to Survive the November theme. But at the moment, time is on my mind. So, check this out: I have this vintage Rostov alarm clock from the USSR that my son discovered years ago in an old, abandoned house. It has such a classic design that really emphasizes both timelessness and functionality. The funny thing is, it hasn’t worked a day since we found it, and I can’t quite remember why we’ve held onto it for so long. I guess it’s just one of those quirky reminders of an era gone by. These days, it seems like no one really uses clocks like these anymore; we all rely on our phones to wake us up. It’s funny how quickly things change over time!

So far so good, and today we have a surprisingly beautiful morning; the sky is blue, a lovely hue with few clouds, now three days in a row, However, despite the vibrant appearance of the day, unfortunately, the air is cold due to the wind factor, which feels like -2C / 28F, making it a bit too nippy for my taste. As I step outside, the crispness bites at my skin, urging me to bundle up more tightly in layers of clothing, savoring the clear skies while grappling with the chill that nips at my fingers and cheeks.
Today my post is going to include, obviously, How to Survive the November theme Round, which is crucial as we navigate the often dreary days of this month. In addition to that, I will be sharing to Becky’s NovemberShadows, where we can explore the interplay between light and darkness through photography. Furthermore, I will touch upon John’s Cellpic Sunday, an opportunity to showcase our mobile photography, which is one my challenges weekly. To conclude, I will delve into Debbie’s OneWordSunday, focusing on the theme Monochrome, where we can capture the beauty and depth that black and white images bring to our stories.
Now that is multitasking 😀 I have more than one posted food shot from Johns Cellpic, as we often dine out on Saturday. I am not going to change that delightful routine. The plates are round, elegantly showcasing the delicious dishes, the interior has shadows that play beautifully. With the variety of colors and textures, I can always convert shots to Monochrome, which adds a timeless quality to the images, enhancing the details and making the food pop even more against the understated background.

So far so good, and today we have a surprisingly beautiful morning; the sky is blue, and the trees are bare, except for a few leaves hanging on the apple tree branches. There is still a dusting of snow on the grass from the first snow that came last night, and a few red berries still glow in the sunlight. That is what I see from my window at this moment—a perfect snapshot of another November day.
And my photo for today has nothing to do with the weather; I love all kinds of jewelry, mostly gold and silver. I occasionally make the mistake of buying other things, like these vintage-style earrings, which happen to be round. My sister at least once called me Hely täti, which translates as bauble aunt, trinket aunt, gewgaw aunt. I don’t know which is the most appropriate translation; maybe the trinket aunt. Someone can correct me 😀

So far so good, and today we have a surprisingly beautiful morning, the sky is blue, trees are bare, except for a few leaves hanging on the branches, slightly moving in the wind. There are still signs of the cold night on the grass and a few red berries glow in the sunlight. The light created shadows across the landscape, illuminating everything with a gentle warmth. That is what I see from my window at this moment, a perfect snapshot of nature awakening to another day.
I was going to post these for the round theme only, but I have created shadows here too, adding a layer of depth to the overall composition. So why not at it to the shadow theme too. I have had this vase for years, and I still like it; its elegant roundness and simple detailing speak to me in a way that few other pieces do. It says something about its timeless design that transcends trends and fads, making it a constant part of my décor.

Here we are, and it’s that time again for the 13th entry for surviving November 2025. Food photography truly is a delightful endeavor; however, to capture those stunning shots, it’s essential to have an uncluttered space and a serene background. In my home, creating that perfect setting requires a bit of rearranging, given the abundance of items I have scattered about. Onions are surprisingly popular subject for photography; they possess a unique visual charm that is oddly captivating and beautiful. Their round shape lends itself perfectly to various creative interpretations across artistic mediums. Interestingly, I’ve even managed to sell a photo featuring onions—though I have to admit, it’s not one of these two.

Here we are, it is time for the 12th entry for surviving November 2025. Capturing the muted color and round shape of this light is kind of a fun challenge, bringing that cozy vibe even on the chilliest days. The soft glow that comes from this fixture creates a welcoming atmosphere, turning any space into a comfy hangout, perfect for those laid-back moments inside, snuggled up in blankets with a good book or a warm drink in hand. Mood light for the dark months not only brightens things up but also lifts our spirits, helping us find a little beauty in the gray and gloom of the season.

Here we are, it is time for the 11th entry for surviving November 2025. In this ever-evolving journey, I find myself needing to dig deep for inspiration from within. Food Photography has always helped me when lacking inspiration— this time more specifically, the art of Candy Photography. Capturing the vibrant color and round shape is a delightful challenge. The meticulous arrangement of each piece, 😂 the play of light reflecting off the glossy surfaces, and the textures begging to be experienced all come together beautifully in a single frame. And to top it all off, being able to indulge in these sugary masterpieces afterwards is truly the cherry on the cake. 😂
I am really trying to make it as I really worked hard on this, enjoy the sweets

The post shares the 10th entry for surviving November 2025. I found this mirror in the building I was in during the weekend; I believe this to be in the teachers’ room amongst the clutter in the room.

Yesterday on my way to my course to learn more about graphic monotype I took this image, for some reason it looks like a good photo opportunity everytime I pass it 😀 I’ll see it itn 15 minutes again so, this is just a quick post. Have a good Sunday.

The post shares the seventh entry for surviving November 2025, and I’m throwing this out there as round, even though I know its an oval, but hey, 😂 we let it pass in my yesterdays post. As I have done something in the kitchen – like baking – I needed eggs. Here is one.

The post shares the sixth entry for surviving November 2025, and I’m throwing this out there as round, even though it’s kind of oval, but hey, let’s be creative with how we express things, right? 😂 So, is this OK? We’re not exactly rule enforcers here, and honestly, being flexible and innovative usually sparks the funnest conversations and ideas!
And yes, it is from my archives, a reminder of a season that seems distant now; no green or, come to think of it, not leaves on the trees anyway, just the stark silhouettes against the sky, a symbol of the cold embrace of coming winter.

The post announces the fourth entry for surviving November 2025, featuring a close-up of a beaded necklace with white stones. I didn’t know this about these beads before I looked it up, I hope it would be this easy 😀
Magnesite can appear externally very similar to howlite, and many consider them to be the same stone. However, magnesite is slightly harder on the Mohs scale. Both magnesite and howlite also share a lot energetically, as they vibrate with a very calming energy. However, the calming effects are somewhat different: while howlite alleviates stress and anxiety on a more physical level and helps with relaxation, magnesite’s calming effect aids in reaching a deeper mental balance and, through that, accessing the deepest emotions and desires. In this way, magnesite encourages its bearer to make important changes in their life that are necessary to achieve the desires and goals that stem from the heart.
I accidently posted over my yesterday’s post so those comments appear here too- A big oops.
