Detail of Paul Signac's 'Setting Sun. Sardine Fishing. Adagio. Opus 221' - which belongs at Moma and is online here: www.moma.org/collection/works/80023 but currently in London's National Gallery as part of 'After Impressionism' - and much more exciting in the flesh than in reproduction, imo...
Macro Mondays 'complementary colours' theme.
I do love the patterns in malachite, and here the use of flash brings them out well.
Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral. This opaque, green banded mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses, in fractures and spaces, deep underground.
Malachite, with its beautiful, rich green color, leaves no doubt of its importance as a jewel. Its opaque strength and power demands respect, mesmerizing the viewer. Yet the movement, flow and energy in its lines, circles and designs soothe and welcome. It is spiritually inviting.
Inherent in Malachite is lighter green eye-shaped forms or bands on its surface. These "eye stones," believed to enhance great visionary powers, were used to ward off negative happenings. They were stones of security and protection for children, and their most remarkable association today is the ability to warn of impending danger by breaking into pieces.
This malachite pyramid measures 1.5" across the base
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Complementary Colours'.
A very obvious subject for this weeks theme.
No trouble in finding the the reels of thread - too much choice really when I looked one of M's collections.
The 'orange' is one of Dewhurst's TRYLCO terylene threads and is described as 'Flame' coloured.
The 'blue-green' is a Coats' DRIMA polyester thread of no specified colour.
The needle - the bigest I could find cos I had to thread it, has obviously seen better days.
And I have put everything back where I think I found it - there will be trouble if I haven't. !!

When I shot, I thought it was a tiny ladybug; then, I realized it was the red striped bottom of an unknown insect... can somebody provide an ID?
For Crazy Tuesday group: "Complementary colors" red/green HCT
I was in our backyard when the sunlight hit our Mountain Ash Tree - the result of this clash of light and colour was gorgeous.
The complementary colours of the berries, the leaves and background sky combined with the lovely lighting begged for someone to take a shot - I did, and I believe I captured the beauty I saw that day.
In the Agius Evolution Garden at Kew, which has replaced the traditional order beds where plants were grouped by family. As far as I could make out, plants from any of the 140-odd families in the clade "Rosids" could be found next to each other in these "garden rooms" devoted to them.
For this weeks Macro Mondays theme I have photographed a section of a car heater blower, this had burnt out, thus leaving my blower inoperative on my daily driver.
These resistors are what enables the speed to be altered fast or slow or off whichever settings you prefer.
On my 1996 Vauxhall Astra it's situated in a position where the elements can cause corrosion, I could smell burning one day whilst driving, and also noticed my heater wasn't working right, then discovered the problem, ordered a second hand unit from EBay for £25 and after a few scratches to my knuckles fixed the problem. 👍
This image does show how rusty it was, and why it needed replacement, but being 25 years old, it had served the car well really. 😁
To keep within the measurement requirements I could only use some of the item, but thought this section most interesting.
"The story so far"
From Transylvania too Bristol, via' .... Whitby, he came, searching for an unwilling blood donor, a tasty liquid lunch full of iron .... Mmm'
but unfortunately he had a mishap catching his long sharp teeth whilst practicing his biting technique ....
"Oh! dear" now that's terrible in a good way, and not terrible in a bad way, so it's really all good!
Probably ....
Hope so as I really don't want those rusty prongs anywhere near my neck! 😁
Love & Peace everyone! 💓

Happy now gone the pangs as vampire sinks his fangs, lap gurgle the red treat, left it like dried meat, silver bullet, cross you grab, avoid the vampey or be on the slab.
Original poetry
by Sean.
I love Transylvania, also its Romanian people and descendants, vampires are only a figment of people's imagination, but it does make for a fantastic horror movie, thanks, Bram Stoker for all the screams and blood curdling chills .... AWESOME! 😈
Just a little frightening verse for upcoming Halloween. 😈

Something whimsical for MACRO MONDAYS, a macro consisting of complimentary colors. This is a small child's ring against the backdrop of one of my Swiss Army knives.

Noooo, I'm not the one you're looking for!
You're a cat, and I better be cautious! *bonk*

I had intended to continue the story with Coyote and do something with an anvil and some rope, but didn't find the scenery I was looking for. The midgets didn't help either, so it's a picture for Crazy Tuesday's "complementary colours" theme, sporting yellow and violet.
A word on the figures: Tweety is from the current Looney Tunes series (with a slightly improved hammer), Catwoman is a gift from Mole.

Squared Circle created for Macro Mondays.
Looks like an abstract camera lens.
Composed with side light on a blue pill in between low key cercles on a tealight glass.
The usual ground level for this dying bush is almost a metre below the water surface; a victim of this coastal lagoon's closure from the sea and inundation from a few months of La Niña rains. The top of a timber fence post is just visible in front of the shrub. Taken mainly for the complementary colours. Baragoot Lake, NSW Far South Coast.
