Macro Friday

Texture: Kim Klassen

This yellow caught my eyes as I passed a farmers' market and now this beauty is sitting at my kitchen window, of course not before being captured for Macro Friday. I haven't been there for quite a few weeks and I'm so curious to see all the beautiful macros there.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Weekend

After another week of too much work, too little time for what I'd love to do and an emergency appointment with my dentist I'm really ready for the weekend... I plan to pour myself a glass of wine this evening and relax!

So just a quick macro of the most important tool for my evening plans - which I'll link up to Laura's Macro Friday. And I'm so glad to contribute a few patterns and repetitions for Justine's February theme with this shot, as well!

Have a relaxing evening, too, and a wonderful weekend!

Macro Friday

It's Macro Friday again at Blogging From Bolivia and I chose to take a macro of one of my notebooks. I simply love beautiful stationery and I couldn't resist when I saw this one.

And isn't it rather convenient that today's macro shot also qualifies for Justine's February theme "Patterns and Repetition"?

Have a wonderful Friday everyone and enjoy the weekend!

Vitamins

It's Macro Friday again at Blogging from Bolivia and I decided to share another piece from my fruit plate. I'm looking forward to have a look at all the entries!

Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!

Macro Friday

I had to buy these tulips - I needed that invigorating yellow and green to distract me from that grey and the snow outside. So let's pretend it's spring already!

I'll link this up to Laura's blog Blogging From Bolivia for Macro Friday and look forward to all those wonderful macros there.

Have a wonderful day!

Macro Friday

Just a quick macro for Macro Friday at Blogging From Bolivia - with some of my orchids in full bloom I couldn't resist.

I hope to catch up on your blogs and comments over the weekend! Have a wonderful Friday!

Macro Friday

The weather is really ghastly at the moment and being confined to indoor shooting I decided to take a macro today for Macro Friday at Blogging From Bolivia. This photo shows one of my finds during warmer times at the beach.

I keep the shells in an open wooden box and I must admit that my macro lens demonstrated very adamantly that I should dust more intensely... I tried to hide that fact by using one of Kim Klassen's textures on the photo. Wouldn't it be great if that worked in reality, too?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Unplanned

The two days of absence here were not planned, but sometimes you don't have much choice and can't always do what you'd like to do...

Today, I just pop in to share this heart with you - it's a little "Thank you" for your lovely comments, and also my entry for Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia. Do have a look at all the entries, it's always so amazing!

I'm signing off for the weekend and hope to be back on Monday catching up with all your blogs and comments. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Let's Party

It's Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia and it's also party time at A Common Thread - a perfect reason to choose a "party-inspired" macro today!

Why don't you join us!

Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Macro Friday

Here it is - my first black and white macro! I got these beautiful (soft pink coloured) lilies last Saturday and as they still are in pretty good shape, I decided they deserve to be my entry for Macro Friday at Laura's blog Blogging From Bolivia.

Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Macro Friday

It's Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia and also Justine's November in Black and White.

I really did try to combine this into a black and white macro today... deleted them all! Maybe my eyes are not made for black and white or maybe there are still too many colours around. Let's try that black and white macro again in a week!

This is probably the last photo until then, as I will be travelling and might not be able to go online. I wish you all a great Friday and a wonderful week!

Macro Friday

It's Macro Friday again at Blogging From Bolivia. When I was surprised by a very nice colleague at work today with this sweet above I decided to take a macro of it for today's challenge. It's an Italian speciality called "Tartufo Bianco" and consists mainly of hazelnuts. The hardest part was not to unwrap it immediately but bring it home, put up my tripod, unwrap it, try a few angles and take a few shots... and THEN have a bite - so delicious!!

I'm afraid my Friday is very busy so I'll have to catch up on all the blogs over the weekend. There are always such great entries at Laura's blog, do have a look, too!

Have a wonderful Friday everybody!

Macro Friday

Can you believe it's Friday again?! Macro Friday at Blogging From Bolivia! My entry this week is a macro of a ribbon for decorating presents. I have to admit that I have two left hands as far as gift wrapping is concerned but I do love all those varieties of ribbons and bows that are available.

I'm in a bit of a hurry today but I'm looking forward to reading your posts and admiring all the macros at Laura's blog over the weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Macro Friday

I can't believe it's Friday again - Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia.

After a week of feeling really low and avoiding my camera and blogging I decided to give it a go again today, touching my camera, taking a photo. I'm curious what great macros are waiting for us over at Laura's blog - go, have a look, too.

I wish you a wonderful Friday and a happy weekend.

Happy and Stunned

Yes, I'm absolutely stunned and totally happy! What a start into the weekend! It's Macro Friday again at Blogging from Bolivia and just as I was thinking about what to take a macro of today to submit I heard the news that I won last week's challenge! Woohoo!!

Thank you all so much for your encouraging and sweet comments, thank you Laura for providing the platform and Hannah for selecting my photo! I'm still totally beside myself! With a happy smile on my face! :-)

So here is my entry for today: it's a Murano glass tea light - I put a candle in today to brighten up a really foggy day.

I wish you a happy Friday and a lot of fun with your macros!

Macro Friday

It's Macro Friday at Blogging from Bolivia and I took the opportunity to have a go at this amaryllis. It was a quite a battle with the tripod and I'm not completely satisfied, but this one is the best I could get. I'm looking forward to seeing your macros at Blogging from Bolivia!

That sinusitis has come back rather fiercely, so I'll be signing off now for the weekend and wish you a happy and healthy Friday! Enjoy your weekend!

Macro Friday

It was really difficult today - nothing I got in front of my camera turned out satisfying and I was really at a loss what to capture. Then I read about Macro Friday at Justine's and Lisa's blog and decided to give it a go.

Due to, hm, let's call it "unfavourable weather conditions" I was confined to shoot inside using my tripod (which I absolutely dread!!!) and after several unsuccessful attempts in my kitchen I decided on taking photos of my box of felt-tip pens.

Have a colourful weekend!

Change of Plans

Today, I planned on taking macros of flowers. I saw it all in my mind, knew exactly, where I would head - there is a spot where still a few roses are giving their best and a few other flowers had survived the rain. I even thought about submitting a photo to Lisa Chaos's Macro Monday, which I had read about in Justine's blog.

BUT... there's a stormy wind today, no chance to get even one decent shot of the flowers. So there I was, disappointed, looking for something not so wind-blown and it took a long walk in that cold wind until I found it. It is a photo of a flower all the same, but one not waving vehemently in the wind but floating gently in the water.

Have a happy Monday and maybe an alternative for your plans up your sleeve!
