Three heavily weathered buttons found near battlefields of the U.S. Civil War era. The two buttons in the upper portion of the photo are both what remains of brass buttons. On the left is the back of a button which is partially legible. It originally would have read - Scovill MFG Co Waterbury. It is about 18 mm in diameter and was likely from a U.S. (Union) soldier's coat. On the right a heavily corroded button, 16 mm, that probably came from a U.S. (Union) soldier's shirt cuff or trousers.
The Scovill Manufacturing Company began producing buttons for the U.S. military when the War of 1812 interrupted the supply coming from England. Please forgive the long description and HMM everyone!
I'd never seen this flower before, but it was in a large planted container that I put on my front steps. It's Greek name is Craspedia.

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-)
Is fedup because she wanted the chartreuse, grey and red ones, not the boring grey ones. The Chartreuse ones were meant for her, but I made them too big. They fit Peri nicely though. The grey ones actually look bigger, but only in height... she has fat feet. Ha.
For Macro Monday's Theme "Buttons"
Did you ever flip your Toffifee containers and pretend they were buttons? Well I do, and now my kids are beating me to it... Luckily you can always snap them back and try again :) HMM!
The theme for Macro Mondays is Button(s), the perfect subject for my new ring light (see it in the first comment below).
Also, CC Monthly Challenge: Metal.
This is quite a big button, 1 1/2 inches across, on a warm woolly soft knitted cushion. Totally the wrong season I know, but what can you do?
A backlit macro view of a carved wood button, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Button." The frame represents a span of 1½ - inches across.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene is a 25-image focus stack composite. The button was leaned up against a square piece of crystal, which was illuminated from underneath by the green and blue LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight. The front of the button was illuminated by a single Nikon SB900 speedlight with its wide panel deployed and a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The flash was placed camera left, slightly above camera level, and two-feet away from the subject. The speedlight was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄32 power through a gridded snoot.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with 12mm extension tube attached.

I am blessed. My house back onto natural bush land. So today in he misty rain I venture down the back to see what is around and I spot this fellow. Not sure of what it was but was able to sneak up to within 5m and get a few shots off. My first time sighting and photographing one of these.
A pot of lovely Button Chrysanthemums in my front garden! Hope everyone's having a great day & from what I'm hearing on the weather channel, many places in the world, having Summer, are experiencing severe heat like us in Ottawa, Canada, so stay cool, safe & hopeful my friends =) Best viewed large!
A spring hike brought us to Button Rock Dam and this view. Meeker and Longs Peak, in Rocky Mountain National Park, are on the horizon. On this day, we hiked in snow, but without coats.

According to Wiki: Button Gwinnett (/ɡwɪˈnɛt/ gwin-ET; March 3, 1735 – May 19, 1777) was a British-born American Founding Father who, as a representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress, was one of the signers (first signature on the left) of the United States Declaration of Independence.[1] Gwinnett was also, briefly, the provisional president of Georgia in 1777, and Gwinnett County (now a major suburb of metropolitan Atlanta) was named for him. He was named in honor of his mother’s cousin, Barbara Button, who became his godmother.[2][3] Gwinnett was killed in a duel by rival Lachlan McIntosh following a dispute after a failed invasion of East Florida.
I have seen and photographed many “Button Bucks” over the years, always wishing them a long and healthy life. Here is my first and only “Button Bull” Moose. This young man was the first moose spotted on our Alaskan adventure and was gracious enough to allow us a roadside photo session for as long as we would like. My wish fro him is the same. Taken just south of Palmer Alaska.
Adventure before dementia.

A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Button". Late afternoon sunlight makes this button look much more important than it really is!

In advance, I want to thank you for any comment you leave. Interacting with other people about my art is 3/4 the joy of taking my pictures. Have a great day!
Also on the button you can sometimes find some numbers ;)
Looking close... on Friday! - theme: "Numbers" :)
In so many of our normal conversations we play it safe because we’re scared of being rejected and judged. We’re reluctant to become more honest and so more vulnerable, because we’ve been scorned when we did so in the past. But sometimes when we take a courageous step, and reveal ourselves in a more real way, something new can be born, the kind of trust that changes us. That transformation through trust gives us a sense of what faith involves. Faith means going beyond our own hesitations and tentativeness in order to embark on a journey of trust.

CROSSROADS THE LIFE & THOUGHT OF
MICHAEL PAUL GALLAGHER SJ, THOMAS G. CASEY SJ
At the beginning of the new millennium, he was giving a summer course in New York’s Fordham University, and living in a room in the Jesuit community on campus. One day he stepped into the elevator that would take him from the basement to the third floor. He pushed the ‘3’ button, the doors closed, but the elevator didn’t move. He tried again, and again nothing happened. Button ‘2’ didn’t work either. Feeling a mounting sense of panic, Michael Paul was about to press the alarm bell, but decided first to try the final button, button ‘4’. To his immense relief, the elevator clicked into motion and brought him to the fourth storey, from where he walked down to the floor below. Later, as he recounted this incident at dinner, his companions looked at him in surprise and said, ‘Don’t you have the key?’ Taking out his bunch of keys, he noticed for the first time a tiny key on the keyring. It was the key he needed to gain access to the community floors. He was in possession of the key, but didn’t know he had it.

This was actually a see-through button turned blue by light on the background. Next week I promise to find a different color!
