The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 16th of February is "fabric texture". When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas. Amongst the gifts were these three modern Indian made ribbons in the most ravishingly radiant colours and ornamented with gold thread. I love how bright and textural they are, which made me think them perfect for the theme this week. I had a very challenging 2023, so it seems apt that she gave me two ribbons featuring elephants with their trunks raised. An upward-pointed elephant trunk is said to bring energy, luck, prosperity and kindness, all of which I have experienced since receiving these as a gift from my friend in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I have accessorised them with three vintage wooden spools of colourful threads and a pair of silver embroidery scissors. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.

Lago de Ercina, Asturias, España.
El lago de la Ercina es un pequeño lago de montaña del norte de España, localizado en los Picos de Europa, en la cordillera Cantábrica. Está próximo al lago Enol y juntos forman el conjunto conocido como Lagos de Covadonga, en el Principado de Asturias, dentro del parque nacional de los Picos de Europa.
Este lago es de dimensiones (tomadas en absoluto) menores que el lago Enol, y su capacidad cúbica también es más baja. El lago de La Ercina está a 1108 m de altitud y su profundidad máxima es de 3 m.
Las características de similitud con el lago Enol están ligadas a su origen (ambos tienen un origen glaciar) y por supuesto, su situación geográfica, ya que ambos lagos se encuentran separados por la Picota de Enol mediando entre ellos una distancia inferior a seiscientos metros.
Lake Ercina is a small mountain lake in northern Spain, located in the Picos de Europa, in the Cantabrian Mountains. It is close to Lake Enol and together they form the group known as Lakes of Covadonga, in the Principality of Asturias, within the Picos de Europa National Park.
This lake is of dimensions (taken at all) smaller than Lake Enol, and its cubic capacity is also lower. Lake La Ercina is at an altitude of 1108 m and its maximum depth is 3 m.
The characteristics of similarity to Lake Enol are linked to its origin (both have a glacial origin) and, of course, its geographical location, since both lakes are separated by the Picota de Enol, with a distance of less than six hundred meters between them.
