The theme for this weeks Macro Mondays picture is "in the center"
The center mark on this disc is a datum point for the measurement and layout of the Irondiquoit Bay outlet near Rochester, NY consisting of a roadway, swing bridge, rock jetties and a marker light. Presumably all referenced back to this point.
Shot for Macro Mondays "In the center" theme. This is a dirty bolt head of an AR-15. The center hole of the bolt is where the firing pin hides until struck by the hammer flying forward and hitting the center of the primer on a live round.

Saw this one take off from Kirtland AFB. Its colouring reminds me of a Great White Shark.
For the group, "Macro Mondays" and this weeks challenge, "In The Center."
.
This small weed flower, when measured at the outside diameter of its petals, petal tip to petal tip across the widest opening, is only 1/4" wide...the whole flower! Look at the amazing complexity and beauty contained within this 1/4" beauty...in the center.

Some of these photographs appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers; they are not. All of these photos are micro (macro) photographs of the super-tiny blooms that blossom on common weeds.
Weed flowers...wild flowers...whichever appellation you want to bestow on them nonetheless these almost microscopic beauties are the flowers that bloom on the weeds in my yard.
Many people also assume that these flowers are, for example, squash or zucchini-sized flowers, or that they are flowers 1" in diameter or larger and are perhaps on stems a foot tall or so. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Most of these flowers when measured petal tip to petal tip at their widest diameters measure 1/4" (6mm) across…or less...the entire bloom is that small. And the average stem height is only a few inches tall, if that.
The smallest weed flower I've shot yet is a small ring of flowers that measured less than 1/32" (.7mm) in diameter which encircled a spire which measured about 1/64" (0.3mm) in diameter.
For some photos I’ve included references to common objects such as the head of a paper match, or the head of a pin, which dwarfs some of these tiny flowers! On some others I’ve listed a description of the actual size of each object in the photo.
So far I've made over 700 photographs of over 50 varieties of weed flowers.
I hope that seeing the variety, beauty, and intricate complexity of this small world astonishes and pleases you as much as it has me.
Thanks for looking.

An original water obtaining method from a
time gone by ~ Saint Augustine, Florida
note: I was contacted in February 2014 by Public Imagery of Tampa, Florida to submit this image (along with thirteen others) to possibly be included in a makeover project of the Applebee's Restaurant in Saint Augustine, Florida, where they are changing the sports-related theme of the walls to a new local imagery flavor. This image was chosen to appear in a beautiful collage of photos in a panoramic image created for the entryway foyer. (This image is large and dead-center in the panoramic collage). One other image of mine of a local iconic pirate-ship was also chosen to appear on a wall in the restaurant. My name will be listed on a plaque at the entrance along with my images on their walls.
Many thanks to Paige and Anie at Public Imagery, Tampa for their interest in my photography. It is much appreciated.

Georgia O'Keeffe Style.
The front counter at Annapurna. We like dining here because the food is healthy and good for you. We don't mind spending a few extra $$ to get something that we know is "good slow food." When we go Stu always has a young coconut and I have a lemon/ginger drink as our beverages. Sure beats sugary drinks that come in a can!

The kiwi fruit is native to the Yangtze Valley in China and was first commercially developed in New Zealand where the kiwi fruit name was adopted. The Chinese called this fruit the Chinese gooseberry.

What is it? An antique brass string holder probably made in about 1890 and still in use in our household today. Could probably do with a good clean as well.

The neighbors have the landscapers grooming their lovely front yard.

Credo che in fondo abbia più coraggio chi ammette di aver paura.

I think that, basically, the one who admits to being afraid has more courage.

This week the challenge was "In the Center". An exercise in breaking the center rule with purpose...
