Macros and Textures on a Wet Day

the New Year has not started out well for long walks

I ventured out into the backyard to see if I could find some interesting textures. It’s quite amazing how green everything is for January. I tried to go for a walk later in the afternoon but it really started to rain very steadily so I turned around and headed back to the house.

I’ve also been trying to rid the house of sweets. Somethings I just can’t bring myself to throw away but luckily many of them are wrapped and I’m less likely to binge on things that I have to unwrap. I love how cellophane reflects light and the candy cane topping has wonderful texture. The foil wrapped candy suggests that the candy inside has texture as well and it doesn’t disappoint.

Thursday Trios – Sentimental Favourites – December 22, 2022

last minute shopping and getting ready for the upcoming storm has made this post late….again

Every Christmas for at least 20 years I have put these paper fans on my tree. I love them. I fold them up to store them and then open them to put on the tree. The three wooden forest gnomes are also favourites that I have had for many years and they always find a special place in our home at Christmas.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – December 17, 2022

thanks to Sue W. and GC for the prompt ‘wish’ https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/12/17/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-wish/

What do you wish for this time of year? Presents, time with the family, solitude, Peace, good health…..?

My wish for all is whatever brings you happiness. Presents are nice and I love to give them but the other things on my list are more important to me. I loved spending time with my granddaughters and my family this year. That was my number one wish in 2022.
