Sunday Macro

Scroll down to see more content

Bella was wandering the halls yesterday when she whispered to me, “Mom, forget about the snowstorm and take some pictures of anything.” So, that is exactly what I did do. I attached my macro lens on my camera and went “hunting for treasure”.

I haven’t been here much lately. There have been some reasons why. One, I have slowed down to recover from the all I’ve been through. It was either that or drop. Two, WordPress has been giving me huge problems that have left me angry and frustrated. Every time I turn around I’m getting bumped off/timed out of my blog, even though I am signed in. I’m stuck unable to go forward or backward or anyward.

That in turn forces me to close my site, quit Safari or reboot, then sign back in. I attempted just to close and then sign back in, but oh no, WP wouldn’t allow that. I commit myself to get here as best as possible when I do blog which entails me putting my laptop on “sleep” mode while I step away. It is when I return to continue what I was doing on my blog, that I find out I’ve been timed out by WP.

Close WP>>>Quit Safari>>>Open New Private Window>>>Open Bookmarks>>>Reopen my blog>>>Sign back in …. THEN I can continue,
multiplied by 12-15 times each day I blog!

Instead of complaining or swearing or just walking away from WP, I opted instead to smile despite this aggravation while I had a little fun with my macro lens. Seeing it is snowing outside and it is Sunday, I wanted to bring some lightness into all of our lives.

With no further to-do, please enjoy my gallery of macro shots of things in our home. And if you too are having issues with WP, I extend a HUGE HUG to you and say, “Hang in there. Don’t let WP run you off like it almost did me!”

  3. There is art everywhere! I might have a hard time guessing some of these items! Love the kitties lined up waiting for their daddy!! Sweet! By the way – I stopped using Safari for WP – I switched to Chrome. I had a problem earlier on with Safari and switching to Chrome worked. So far it’s been fine. Have a nice day!!! 🙂

    1. The author of one of the comments said that using Chrome would eliminate this problem. I however don’t like Chrome. I like Safari because of its safety features, like private browsing for instance. Lately with WP it has been extreme for me. I’m glad I overcame my agitation to post these pictures. Yay for me!! Happy Sunday, Dan! 💝

      1. I use Chrome for some things but I use Firefox for WP. Except for some blogs where I can’t see the pictures in Firefox.

        Chrome does have a private (incognito) mode if you find you need to use it for some things.

  7. Amy, welcome to my world. I still can’t access so many blogs. I can go there manually and write a comment or click a like and it refuses point blank to accept it even though I’m signed in.
    And to be honest, we are being blocked because we need to ‘see’ something. In your case, and as you have said, you are tired and need a break. We keep going at break neck speeds for ‘everyone else’ but refuse to look at our own hearts.
    Stop dear lady, take a break and re-join your heart. She needs a cuddle ❤
    As for me, I'm off for a walk along the beach…and then the lake…and maybe even a chat to the dolphins and swans who keep calling out to me 😀 ❤

    1. Mark, you are so right. I really have been slowing down AND instead of being on my laptop, I’m actually tackling things in my home that need addressing. Example … I’ve just come from cleaning out a cupboard in my kitchen.

      I’m getting reacquainted with my Heart. I’ve done SO much over the years especially here that it is high time for me to stop a bit. In looking back, amazement is at the forefront in all I have accomplished.

      Sorry to hear your woes with WP. But!! You are listening which is GOOD! Have a great walk. It’s too cold (single digits) for me to be out and about …. so I get reacquainted with my Heart and Home. How nice!!! XOXOX

  8. I’ve been having some trouble with the images loading on my blog. There’s a considerable delay that I find incredibly frustrating.
    I’m glad you took some time off to sort yourself.
    I really like the shadow of kitty’s head here.

    1. Sorry to hear about your woes, Joey. Most of us have limited time to blog and to have to wait or to reload the page by doing what I do, you bet it’s frustrating. I don’t know what WP is doing but I hope they get it over with soon. I’m still taking some time out …. I’m only on here once in a while. That kitty is Whispers who hasn’t been feeling well having a low grade temp. He is FIV+ and unfortunately he gets these low grade temps. This one was the worst one. I’m doing all I can for this little guy. XO

  10. the frustration caused by the WP and Safari troubles has magnified your photographic imagination and it’s a wonderful result.
    ps: worries WP would not it be a problem with your browser? Sometimes a setting that skips, even an authorization ..
    On WP I have a concern too, I can not follow a site (the button does not work) they told me it’s the fault of spam. there is too much subscription demand at the same time or something like that.
    My own site considers itself as spam, it’s a shame. and for the moment they do not offer me a solution.
    I hope your own worries will fly away soon

    1. Bless you for saying what you did, Yoshimi. I’ve been honestly so discouraged to even be here. It just isn’t fair that I have to fight to stay signed in. I’ve never had issues with my browser before this and I have been blogging for over 5 years. No idea what the problem is or where the problem truly lies.

      I really hope your problems with WP fly away soon as do mine. It is just a bummer. 💖

      1. sometimes it may be a question of updating not done or poorly done.
        Maybe your browser is obsolete and slowed down oy prevents it from working properly. It happened with my old man and I had to change it.
        I hope your troubles will disappear quickly and keep us informed

    1. Actually the picture of my cats was taken with my macro lens, YellowCable. Believe it or not. (smile) Glad you enjoyed this post!! Fabric can be fascinating to look at closeup!! Hope you are having a great day! 💖

    1. Irene, I attempted to download Firefox last evening but … it said my site was an insecure site and would allow me on it. Huh? So, I am just going to continue using Safari and hope whatever changes the someone is doing, it will be over soon.

      And I thank you about my photographs. My “kids” are amazing. I do not ever tire of looking at them and being with them. You should see the antics when I play using a long string with knots and some toys on it … walking around the house with my cats chasing it. It’s hysterical! LOL Have a good day!! (((HUGS)))!! ☺️

      1. I hope, that you will find a good solution with a browser, so you don’t need to fight with that Amy.
        You will need to log-in with Firefox to be able to use it fully. In the beginning some sites can be seen as insecure, but soon it should work properly. It did for me.

        I can imagine your playing with your kids. I just bought mine a new scratching tree and a bigger toy, where they hunt a ball around, which I also enjoy to view. Even they are old, they appreciate new challenges.
        Wish you a new and beautiful day ❤

      2. I played last evening, Irene, and I am trying to figure out how to take a video of what is going on. It is just SO precious and SO funny! My cats don’t play enough sadly to say. By the time I am finished with all I do the couch much of the time with a good book or a good movie, win out over that playing with my cats. I’m changing that however. I have every intention of playing with them as often as I can and think of “new” ways to keep them entertained. 😁

  15. Hello sweet AmyRose. I love your sweet kitty photos they are precious. I hope this Winter is being gentle on you. I know what you mean about WP, I’m not here much either because they keep changing it and not for the better. I think it’s good to take a step back and see what we want to do next! Good to see you Amy big hugs and much love to you! ❤

    1. MM, there is so much more to life then WP. I no longer blog the way I used to and have been focusing on me and my life instead. I don’t need the headaches and the frustration that lately have been attached to WP. Yes it is good to step back now and then. Life is treating me well!! Hope you are having a great day and BIG (((HUGS))) to you!! 😘😘😘

      1. AWE I love this I’m so happy to hear you are doing well! I think our lives deserve our attention for sure. I was thinking of the energy I used to put into blogging and I’m happy to have had the opportunity to build great friendships but I no longer camp out here everyday like I used to! We do have beautiful lives to live. ❤ Big hugs right back to you! ❤

  18. I sympathise with your WP issues, I sometimes have that problem when I visit other blogs, it asks me to sign in and then shakes its head at me not recognising me. I even went to change my own WP password after Christmas, thinking someone had hacked it..
    Its good to laugh away our frustrations.. ❤ 🙂
