Macro Mondays - On Top

Administrators please see picture in comment for size reference

In covid times our Government did the unusual act of getting back in by a landslide. I'm glad they did as it showed the average kiwi is not happy with people spinning untruth about how our pandemic was handled. Today I am in our capital city, Wellington, where one person has covid and is in isolation. All their contacts are being chased up and self isolating and I hope I will not meet any of them today.

Trying to balance a triangle on a ball is a real challenge (lol), hope y'all have a great week !

This is a hedgehog style balance pod. An exercise tool. When I was in PT yet again this year, I used them there. Found them on Amazon.com so I purchased them for home use. My balance is awful! Won't bore you with all the reasons why ...

I was so happy when I realized I actually had something cool to shoot for the theme!

A litoria fallax frog on my second gardenia flower for this year. I think it must be incredible to be able to balance on a flower petal.

Small pebbles stacked , balanced on top of each other , certainly took a steady hand and patience to build this stack.

What does the word 'balance' mean to me ?

Defying gravity is how I see the word, but of course it has many meanings. For an idea for a macro it was a question of balancing some thing on some thing to defy gravity which was a real challenge as I discovered. I tried lots of different materials but settled on three glass nuggets balancing on top of each other. Trying to balance four glass nuggets proved impossible, gravity won every time! It was not as easy to do as I first thought, a question of patience on my part trying to find the exact spot to balance each nugget, keeping my cool and not breathing too hard and then lighting the scene required further patience but I'm pleased with the result!

Balancing two of my major interests: reading and photography. I've always tended to do things a little differently than other people.

One is relaxing and one is exercising - there is a balance in everything

With the encouragement of its two siblings, the newly fledged Australian Hobby chick attempted a landing on a very thin branch. It took much use of the wings and tail feathers to maintain balance until it got a firm foothold.

Balancing the fruit on the little guy's body wasn't difficult, but getting the 52 Mm lens cap to balance on the angel's head proved to be interesting.

I wanted to rub the small metal antenna to perhaps make in sticky and balance the feather, but it didn't work. In the end I resorted to a dab of glue.

I was struck by how this image feels like it is a metaphor to the state of the world today. There is the precarious, unsustainable balance of an aging man, the storm clouds are gathering ever closer ... and yet the movement forward is not entirely dead.
