Just when I was wondering what to photograph for Macro Monday's theme of "Found in the Kitchen" I spied this bit of fluff dangling from my kitchen light shade.
HMM to all.
Small and Smaller is this week’s theme for Macro Mondays, therefore different size of tool bits on black slate. Do make the photos more interesting, splashing water von above, lighting the water with a mirror, beam above the black slate.
That bit about stirring coffee is not true, I'm sorry. This is just a rusty spade bit.

Chelsea denies all knowledge of missing pieces! She is correct, the jigsaw came from an op shop, was a 3000 piece one but when we finished found that there were 7 missing bits!
By the end of George V's reign the threepence had become unpopular in England because of its small size
The physical dimensions of the brass threepence remained the same in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
The effigy of the queen produced by Mary Gillick was used, with the inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRA BRITT OMN REGINA F D used in 1953, and ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F D used in all other years.
The reverse shows a Tudor portcullis with chains and a coronet, with the inscription THREE PENCE date.
This coin was produced in all years from 1953 to 1967, and in 1970 (in proof sets only).
Following decimalisation, the brass threepence ceased to be legal tender after 31 August 1971.
Something different I actually liked this coin, when I was a lad if you had a few of these you were rich.

a bit of a rush job as have just got back from a weekend away.
This weeks challenge in Macro Mondays is 'zodiac',so as I'm 'aquarian' i had to do the water carrier...
Bit of luck with the light as it appeared in the last second as 37884 seen passing Melton Mowbray loop with the 5L47 0901 Derby RTC - Ely Papworth sidings, running over 2 hours late 29/3/21.
Along with a few other walkers along the Kennet and Avon Canal recently, we stopped to watch the crew of this narrow boat try to turn it around. Quite a bit of difference to a three point turn in a car!
I thought at one stage they were not going to make it, but persistence pays and eventually it ended up facing the desired direction. Provided some unexpected entertainment to an unwanted audience!
Just going through some shots that I haven't put up yet. I liked this one of some reason...I think I was just playing around with my 50mm lens.
What can I say, I like this one a lot.. It was a foggy cool early morning I spotted these beautiful purple colors "popping" out against the light green and milky fog. The small rise and fence made a great image.
Bit of a stitched panorama of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. I kind of like the central composition of the tree here, I did consider not stitching as many images together, but even with the panorama it works for me…
Behind John, who is picking up some of the broken pieces of some of the hollows, or geodes recently removed from the pit and examining them for potential collecting, is the large pile of overburden and debris, containing some nice thundereggs and mostly broken pieces - right behind him you can see where some secondary digging was done to remove a few nodules hidden inside the large pile.
Bit of a struggle to get here for sunrise, but at least I got lucky with some clearing in the sky for a few minutes... Old man of Storr, Isle of Skye, Scotland
Bit of a damp morning here. The birds still have to feed tho' so nice for me to sit in the dry to watch my garden visitors.
As 66704 sits while its train is loaded at Arcow Quarry, 66760 heads south on the S&C with its train from the Quarry.
66704 has worked into the Quarry on 6M31 from Hexthorpe and is having its first part of the train loaded. 66760 is working 6M38, Arcow Quarry to Bredbury, with its loaded train after running to Blea Moor to run round its train.

#69 - No Bigger that a Credit Card
This bit of fallen pine twig is just under the length of a credit card
Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
The "head" on this small iceberg reminds me of a figurehead on the prow of a ship, only this one is sporting a sweat band.
The blue colour comes from light being refracted through pure ice. The whiter ice has air bubbles trapped inside (ancient air I might add, probably over 1000 years old.) If you pop a small piece of the white iceberg ice into your G&T it fizzles and hisses loudly as the air escapes.

A bit of a risk with this for Macro Mondays 'Seeing Double'. Seeing a double deck bus.
Seeing a double choice. On the bus, or on the tube?
Leftover fuzzy stuff from wildflowers in the yard. Some may call it a weed. ;-) It was tiny daisy looking flowers while in bloom. Anyhoo.. Played a bit in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz. :-) HSS! :-)
christmas eve turns out to be a day of deluging rain and not one but two small window-frame leaks (thanks, southerly winds) that require much attention — but wishing everyone a lovely, hopefully-less-drippy holiday!
A bit of a murky morning but although there was little sign of the sunrise, there's always potential for an image if you embrace the conditions.

Taken a bit too far, for sliders sunday…
hss!
See the first comment box below for the standard version, the original from which all arose, and a screenshot of this version's photoshop file with the expanded layers panel and channels panel.
After converting to black and white in Lr, and cropping, it was brought into Ps. I liked the version edited as usual, but then decided to see what would happen if I slud things further.
I like the overlay glow that is often created with editing for an Orton effect. The first way I learned was from Tony Kuyper's tutorials. At the top of the layer stack a curves adjustment layer set to screen blend mode is created. Then create a merged up through it layer. Set it to multiply blend mode and use gaussian blur. Group those layers and possibly add a mask to the group, and possibly reduce opacity of the group.
I recently came across another way to do it in the Practical Photography magazine. They say duplicate the background layer a couple times but since I'd already done a lot of editing with quite a few layers, I created a new merged up layer at the top of the layer stack, then duplicated it. One of those layers is set to Multiply and blurred. The other is set to Screen and left as is. They are grouped and a curves adjustment layer is added to the group. The line is pulled up and left to lighten the group.
I ended up using both those ways of creating an Orton effect, and sliding opacity of each a bit for this.
Happy Sliding!
Did some long overdue birdwatching over the weekend, so will be "taking a break" from the arboretum pics before resuming again.
Spotted this male Northern Cardinal at the "Blazing Hot Blend" feeder - pepper treated seeds to deter the squirrels and seems to work, too. Mr Cardinal is looking a bit ragged but not sure if it's due to the stress from parenting or because of the extremely hot weather we've had in our area lately? Or something else completely different?
** Mind you, our hot weather is nothing like some other areas are experiencing but still - hot for our area! And no doubt the heat affects wildlife regardless of where they are located.
A bit different for me. Sort of streetscene meets minimalist. Or more accurately a 'minimal streetscene'! I think it works but you say what you think - I've no problem with criticism or advice as long as its constructive! We don't learn if we don't listen and allow others their opinions. Some sections of society could do well to realise that their views aren't the only ones in town before they throw the toys out of the pram. But that's not a topic for here really - I'm just waffling on.
One thing I wanted to spend a bit of time doing while up in Ardnamurchan was camera trapping. Using a PIR at a selected spot, it triggers the camera based on movement. It gives a unique perspective, enabling you to capture photos you wouldn’t otherwise be able to.
In this case I was keen to show the Pine Marten that were visiting the cottage I was staying at in their forest environment. A little bit of fill flash was needed as it's quite dark in the wood, but I'm pleased with these.
OK, maybe a bit more orange.
With some misty seas looking towards Llyn Peninsula.
Sunrise light on Llanddwyn Island - I haven't been lucky with light here yet, it's either clear skies (shaking my fist at you, Milky Way!) or cloudy and miserable. It's one of my favourite peaceful sunset/sunrise places and I'm missing it a lot.
