Thanks for the nice comments on my shawl. I never even wore it; my mom saw it and liked it so much I gave it to her. :)
I love those trees and the pretty flower petal!

The dragonfly is 'pointing' in all directions Jacomina and the sheet is blowing out nicely on the line.
dochtersions posted Sun, 19 July 2015 at 7:19 AM
Ha, ha, Jeff, I think you right away knew what my second one is; and thank you very much for your nice comment, my friend. :)
dochtersions posted Sun, 19 July 2015 at 7:22 AM
And, if I'm right now, a new week began, so here my first which is made yesterday:
It really 'pops-in', right? :D
jayfar posted Sun, 19 July 2015 at 8:35 AM
These 'points' look delicious Jacomina.
It's a wonder no one has posted a pic of pencil crayons !!
dochtersions posted Sun, 19 July 2015 at 9:32 AM
These 'points' look delicious Jacomina. "Yes", I agree Jeff, to which film will we go?
It's a wonder no one has posted a pic of pencil crayons !! So to you the honour to do that my friend, right?
I'm curious which colours we'll see from you.
X-PaX posted Sun, 19 July 2015 at 11:33 AM
Very nice 'points' Jacomina. I like the closes dryer ;)
I have a question: Has anyone already received a ladybug before his lens?
X-PaX
dochtersions posted Sun, 19 July 2015 at 3:26 PM
Thank you, Christian!
Haha, this is accidental, today I photographed a kind of ladybug, and it was black with white dots.
He sat on point-shaped seeds of a small faded flower, and I thought, this is good for the challenge.
However, it will take time before I have the pictures on my computer, so I hope you will put a ladybug, Christian.
