Mini blooms

I have always love looking at blooms. Now with the macro lens I can go up close and capture it in detail.

Mini red bloom

There is beauty in item both big and small. It is just harder to take note when the bloom in question is really minute and that it is not easy to spot with the naked eye.

Another red bloom

I like how this bloom spreads out making it look really majestic. It magnifies the size of the flower and also makes it look really unique and different from the other blooms that I have captured.

Do you look at mini blooms too?

Chinese Oprea Head Dress and Dolls

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Wordful Wednesday National Museum, wordful wednesday

Chinese Wayang Dolls

While at the Singapore National Museum we saw this exhibit of dolls and Chinese costumes in one of the rooms of the museum.

A head dress

I love how ornate the head dress are and that there are so many different ornaments and carvings on each piece. The one in the picture above was decorated with pearls and colorful balls.

Another head piece

The size and design of the different head gear depicted the different status on the characters in the play. The more intrigue the design would mean that the actor was depicting a character that is higher in status.

Another colorful head dress

Some of the head dress were for female characters while others were for males. It was not stated which costumes and head dresses were use to depict which characters.
