The famed poet, Li-Young Lee, wrote in his poem titled, "Persimmons":
How to choose
persimmons. This is precision.

Special thanks to my wife for the precision, persimmon stitching!
My late grandmother had some plates on displaying her living room. In child eyes they were beautiful antiquities. Growing up I did realize their value in a flea market would probably be measured in cents. But I do like them anyways. That one has a very old crack in it, so it's handled with extra care.

Dried Seedheads, in a grass pot on the mantelpiece been there a long time and due for a change, Handle with Care as they are delicate and fall apart at a touch.
Macro Monday Handle with Care
Macro Mondays candidate
A food processor grating wheel rotating at high speed is something to handle with care.
Not dangerous, deadly, toxic or breakable but delicate. Ironically, I don't think we have ever hand washed this piece of clothing with our hands.
HMM :)
Macro Mondays - A custom-made knife by Bobby Rico of Vaughan, MS. The blade is a worn-out rasp that has been converted to a knife blade and the handle is Cocobolo, bison horn and brass.
Love that rasp pattern on the blade.
A 35mm snipe on nitrate film. (The complete snipe, intended to be placed between trailers, announces, "And We Will Also Present On The Same Program...a SECOND HIT PICTURE to Complete a Grand Double Bill...")
Nitrate film, though more translucent than safety film and prized for its crisp, sparkling look, easily burst into flame when ignited and generated its own oxygen in the process of combustion, aiding the spread of flames and making a nitrate fire all but impossible to extinguish; fumes from burning nitrate was also very toxic. Because of the hazard of ignition in the event of a film break or jam, projectors were built with reel magazines, fire trap rollers, enclosed film paths, automatic fire shutters; film reels were stored individually in special cabinets; film was rewound in enclosed rewinders; and projection booths were bunker-like rooms with emergency fire shutters over port windows. Projectionists were highly trained back in the day and knew to immediately shut everything down, release the emergency shutters, and leave the projection booth in the event of a fire, closing the door behind them.
Slow-burning safety film on cellulose triacetate replaced dangerous nitrate in the 1950s, helping pave the way for open long-play film transports which, along with xenon-arc lamps and automation, was a crucial element in the 1970s rise of the multiplex theatre.
A select few institutions — such as the George Eastman Museum in the USA — have the capability to safely screen archival 35mm nitrate prints of pre-1950s movies, following strict protocols to minimize risk. As long as nitrate prints are still in projectable condition, entire film festivals can still be built around this volatile medium.
One last thing: 16mm film, originally considered an amateur format, has always been made of safety stock from day one.
This six-second snipe, nine feet (2.7m) in length, is the only scrap of nitrate film in my possession. It will not be run through a projector.
of about fourteen I bought these glass swans at the fair from a glass blower. At that time they were attached to pierced ear wires.

Macro Monday Theme: Handle with Care.
This fits the theme in two ways, first this caterpillar could be easily squished, so it must be handled with care. Second, the little guy has fake tufts of hair to make you think he has spikes and warn you to handle him with care. Anyway, fun theme while on a wonderful vacation to the St. Joe river are in Idaho.
Macro Mondays-Handle With Care
I think many women have a very hard time dealing with Menopause, and sometimes you have to handle them with care!
