Macro Mondays Theme: #Handle
Subject: Portion of souvenir item from Switzerland
Subject cropped size: 2.5cm x 3.5 cm
The glass handle on the glass lid of on old crock pot. We don't use it for cooking, we use it to store unshelled peanuts in. My wife found me with my camera, in a dark room, hunched over the lid that was balanced on top of a flashlight. She just rolled her eyes, sighed and said with resignation, "Just don't break the thing,."

SHARPENING OH WHY?!
Why I didn't use my 50mm for this, I don't even know.
I'll be putting up some funny outtakes on my facebook page from this shoot in the comments.

HMM all
HMM- the theme for today, 5/25, is handle and this one is probably the cutest of the 3-4 macros that i'll put up.
The vintage handles and lock of the front door of a 1958 apartment building in Kypseli, Athens, Greece. Back then they built them to last.
There were reports of a Great Gray Owl up north that I had to check out. Last year there was also one just a tad more North which was the first in over twenty years. To have two years in a row of Great Gray Owls in Northern California was just baffling news and a very rare!
I drove four hours North with a friend and we were very welcomed by a very kind and hospitable owner. She allowed a small group of us onto her property and we had the pleasure of photographing this majestic owl.
The first day the owl stayed fairly high and he sat stagnant at a few spots for long periods of time. He studied different holes on the ground and we all tried to guess where he might fly down to. I gambled and cheated left and knelt down based on what my intuition was resonating. I chose correctly as I was knelt down and tracked him on his way towards me. He was probably 10-15 feet away from me as he ripped his prey from the hole and carried it away into a Redwood tree where he took the time to eat it. This prey was large he couldn't just gulp it so he had to downsize it by picking it to pieces before he swallowed it.
We had a very action filled second day and came away with great memories and company.
We were the last group of people she allowed onto her property as she expressed to us that she didn't want to handle anymore large groups. We were grateful for her hospitality and the opportunity she allowed us to have.
My old garden secateurs which are well worn and old and were passed down to me from my old grandad .
HMM Everyone
For Macro Mondays theme - Handle with care. This Venetian shot glass, along with the other 5 glasses and decanter is one of the few sets of breakable items that survived the Christchurch earthquakes over the last 5 years in our home. Glass is smaller than credit card.

One of a pair of handles on the drawer of my needlework cabinet. It's the oldest piece of furniture I own - made by my dad as a gift for my mum.

Macro Mondays - Handle
One of a pair of commemorative teaspoons to celebrate our Queen's Coronation on 2nd June 1953
Normally I take my morning walk with my dog through the Corte Madera Marsh armed with an 18-200mm lens, but the topic for Macro Mondays is Into the Woods, so for this shot I clamped on my 105mm Micro Nikkor and slipped my SB 600 speedlight in my vest pocked and headed for a patch of raspberry bushes that are located in a wooded section of the marsh. My German shepherd Roma thought I was nuts, crawling around amidst a tangle of raspberry bushes, but I got my shot, several of them in fact, and she forgave me for making her sit quietly, while I did my thing for Macro Mondays...
I had trouble choosing between two of the shots I got, so I posted my other favorite in the first comment box below.
Our dreams all rely upon the collective appreciation and respect of others' dreams. What may seem like magic to you may very well be a punch in the gut to someone else working hard, living consciously and trying to make a go in life. Your magic crystals may be someone else's broken dreams. Don't be too selfish to see what impact you're having on the world.
Door handles on the left side of an ancient 1952 FX Holden.
On display at the Queensland Museum, this was an actual car owned by local legend George Kiprios who regularly drove around the streets of Brisbane with radio blaring with rock-and-roll music. The 1952 FX Holden was the first truly Australian car manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions. Over time it was the most famous Holden in Brisbane, loved for its steady presence and George's idiosyncratic customisation.
Crazy Tuesday - Doors Knockers Handles
This is the doorway / main entrance located in the south porch of St Mary the Virgin Church, Little Wakering, Essex.
The Nave/chancel (Norman Tower) was built early in the 15th Century
If you zoom in on the stone arch adjacent to the top hinge, you will see two lovely decorative stone carved heads.
Although with thorns, rose is very fragile when bitten by frost. So please, handle with care.
For Crazy Tuesday challenge.
After a chat with Dennis R about possible avenues to pursue with blanking off the middle of the frame and adding en extra element to fill the middle I came up with this. A tunnel with a silhouette would have been my preference but that will have to wait.
