I was trying to capture the moment when wind extinguishes a flame. However it was a lot harder than I imagined - it was either the full flame or no flame/smoke (and too dark). So here is the moment just before.

Of the Four Elements -Earth, Water, Air, Fire- I chose WATER.

I'd cross the sea to you

I've left myself deserted here again

I'd cross the sea to you

My pieces are too broken now to mend

I'll tell you everything

Had this shot in mind for a while and this theme was the perfect opportunity to test it out.

Of all of them I think I am most disappointed with the water, I think I should have gone with a proper splash shot.

Radish from my veggie garden that I picked today. HMM!

This is water running from a tap into an overflowing glass. For the record it was surrounded by air!

Macro Mondays theme : Four Elements

Here is my take on the four elements theme. My subject includes two elements: fire (candle) and water (droplets). One thing for sure, the scented candle had a very nice “Soft Cotton” fragrance. Quite relaxing!

Enjoy!

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

MacroMonday weekly theme: “Four Elements” pick one or more of Earth, Fire, Water and Air.

We clearly have water.

There is also a gulp of air to be "seen"

It is a fire coloured fish

And the coloured water is due to the muddy sediment being continuously re-suspended by the fish so is the earth in the picture.

Have I thought too much about this maybe?

PIOGGIA PURIFICATRICE.

L'edera è un brano musicale composto da Saverio Seracini e Vincenzo D'Acquisto, presentato al Festival di Sanremo 1958, nel interpretazione di Nilla Pizzi e Tonina Torrielli.

...Chissà se m'ami oppure no

ma tua sarò.

Son qui tra le tue braccia ancor

avvinta come l'edera

son qui respiro il tuo respiro

son l'edera legata al tuo cuor

sono folle di te e questa gioventù

in un supremo anelito

voglio offrirti con l'anima

senza nulla mai chiedere....

------------------

Margherita è un brano scritto da Marco Luberti (autore del testo) e da Riccardo Cocciante (autore delle musiche).

Del brano sono state incise dallo stesso Cocciante anche una versione in francese (intitolata Marguerite) e una versione in spagnolo (intitolata Margarita e pubblicata anche su singolo).

...Raccogliamo tutti i fiori

Che può darci Primavera

Costruiamole una culla

Per amarci quando è sera poi

Saliamo su nel cielo

E prendiamole una stella

Perché Margherita è buona

Perché Margherita è bella

Perché Margherita è dolce

Perché Margherita è vera...

Fiddleheads or Fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern.

It's so nice to see them open up right in my back yard.

For “Macro Mondays”- theme : “Four Elements” .

Note: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of: earth, water, air, and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BC, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle.

Took the literal approach to the theme.

Having to build four elementals and combining them into one image is a tough job. But I’m quite content with the endresult.

I have done these before, but it’s always a nice theme to return to

Fire, Rocks (earth) & Water are 3 of the Four Elements. Macro of a tealight in a bowl filled with rocks and water. Image reflected in a mirror spritzed with water for the bokeh.

Earth, Water, Air and Fire swirling together in the heart of Being

Yesterday's Macro Monday's theme was the Four Elements: Earth, Air, Water and Fire.

See if you can guess what this was before it burst into flames? (look closely into its structure). It grew in the earth with water and air, and when I held a match to it ……..pooof! It became a fieball! It was completely consumed in about a second, leaving a nice fragrant aroma, and a neat little pile of seeds.

I couldn't believe how fast it burnt. It was one of the dandelion heads, a clock, that I used in my shots of coloured hair-dos and Newton's Cradle.

I should have used this for the Four Elements.

Where there is smoke there was fire ;)
