Button's Bluff, Lyle...whatever you fancy calling this location, it's a classic shot and perhaps the most recognizable location along the old C&O James River sub
It was a very busy week for me. 1st my little 3 1/2 lb dog was sick and then we had to drive to Eugene (a 2 1/2 hour drive away) to get full mouth perio surgery. I was getting ready for bed and threw my pants on my hamper and thought......oh there's a button. So today I took that image of my jeans button!
With thanks to the "Button Lady" Dawn :-)
Many thanks for the Favs and Comments much appreciated HMM

A macro view of a decorative metal button. The frame measures one-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The button was placed on top of a piece of elevated plate glass and illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight, the blue and green LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight, and natural window light before being converted to monochrome.
The SB900 was positioned 80° CL and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through a gridded snoot, with a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The Coast TX10 was placed underneath the subject and shown through the plate glass. Soft window light 90° CR was used for fill.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
(Note: Sometimes I convert very colorful images to monochrome because of the contrast control the vibrant color tones allow; that was the choice I made in this case).

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
Five deer were in our backyard, next to the back porch, feasting on acorns. I took several photos of the group, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos on the computer that I noticed that least two of the deer are button bucks. This one was closest to the house and his buttons are easy to see. The "buttons" are the bumps or knobs on the forehead, where the antlers are beginning to grow. It will be fun watching these youngsters grow up into handsome adults. Backyard wildlife.
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
I bought this small cloth purse at a yard sale several years ago. I attached this button with heavy duty thread. The cord strap makes it perfect to put it across my shoulder and wear it under my coat. It holds my cards and some spare change when I go shopping,

I had hoped to photograph a tube station today but rain that has persisted all day put an end to that - did not feel like getting wet! So it is another button shot for today.
Hope you don't mind a break from the texture work but I haven't done one of this type of flower photo for ages!
