Fading rose

I started with the idea of capturing the beauty of a fading rose, the texture and structure; that is, in its own way also lovely. I did end up taking also other sets;  marble my previous post. Kitty, and red necklace. Here is my faded roses first.

New …

NEW is our theme in MakroTex-challenge this time. The wine might be old, and the cork too,new to me as I just opened the bottle. So it is new, I even sniffed the cork…for a artsy feel I took photos of it in various lightning.

Soft light of candles

I bought this new decoration for candles and I had to take photos of it, as there was nothing else to do 🙂
Laundry, dishes they can wait and who cares if few dust balls are around, it’s too dark to see.

Spoon for MakroTex

I have done, forks, knifes, now spoons…these old spoon are prices from various sports events. And as you can see they have not been polished lately. The material is alpaca,  nickel silver. I have two sets of photos others in color, the other one in black and white. Click the photos to enlarge them

Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Wildflowers

I think we can pretty much find some wildflowers by now, for a real challenge don’t use archive pics…get out and take some new pics,, so after this prompt, I did go to the forest.

I will post photos I saw today, I started walking along  the path in the first photo, looking for flowers. It was partly cloudy today- helps with yellow flowers, but so cold.  Unfortunately I cannot name most of these.I continues further into the forest, but I will post those later.
