I have 6 Christmas cacti ... and I've inherited each one from a woman in my life. I've named each of these lovely plants for that special woman. This light pink one is Winifred ... named for my Grandma. My mom gave her the parent plant and later took a slip from it. When my mom died, I inherited Winifred.
Winifred enjoys my sunny window so much that she's putting on a bonus spring show this year!

The old box in the attic contained just one weathered photo, a haunting picture that seemed to look right through him. A falcon shrieked outside...something moved in the corner....
This cross once belonged to my great-grandmother. It was handed down to my grandmother and she gave it to me. She'd light up every time she saw me wearing it. HMM
My father was interested in coin collecting and he passed on these steel pennies to me. In 1943 the U.S. Mint suspended the use of copper in pennies to ration the metal for use in war materials. The 1943 pennies were struck with a steel core which was coated with a thin plating of zinc.
There were some early problems because freshly minted steel pennies were often mistaken for dimes. Also because the galvanization process didn't cover the edges of the coins, they would rust.
There were just a few copper pennies minted in 1943 in error. They are extremely rare and in my research the guess at the number of these pennies that exist ranged from 12 to 40. I found an article from 2012 that said that an uncirculated 1943 copper penny had been sold for $1.7 million dollars. I am sorry to say the steel pennies in my photo are worth no more than .50 cents each.
My Grandpa died about 10 years ago. A couple of Christmases ago, my Grandma gave my brother, cousin and myself (as the youngest generation of males in the family) a mug each that had belonged to my Grandpa. I got this pewter tankard, which had been his favourite. In fact, I think my dad was a bit jealous - he remembers not being allowed to touch it when he was a boy. It sits on my shelf and reminds me of my Grandpa.
I'm quite lucky in that I have never inherited much (meaning that most of my family is still alive). However, I've used several items that I have inherited as the subject of my Macro Monday shots. This is the first time I've used this particular object, however. I wanted to keep it nice and simple - I like the curve where the handle attaches to the tankard - so I made that the subject. I kept the background plain. The lighting is from a window to the right hand side, with a small reflector laying just to the right of the shot, illuminating the underside of the handle.
Have a happy Macro Monday everybody :)
I'm not sure when I inherited this Kodak Brownie Bullet camera from my parents, but I do remember using it in the 1970's before I bought my Kodak Pocket Instamatic 10 camera. I've come a long way since then.
This picture was taken with a Minolta MC Macro Rokkor-QF 50mm f3.5 lens mounted on a Sony A700 using a Fotodiox Pro adapter.
They fought each other for a little while,
and now they are all gone.
In the final moments,
they left broken families along with the
cracked bricks worth the blood of all their losses.

Two things I inherited: a silver frame from my paternal great grandmother and my mother's nose.
(That's my mum and me as a baby, wearing a hanky on my head.)
For Macro Monday.

I seek the path of a man who rests in you
The way a man strays from his heart to journey onward
The way he leaves everything and adds to his inheritance
I seek to know symbols, the milestones
Of daytime, how to read
Smoke signals and the flight patterns of pigeons – and all
Things that reach us from the distance
I seek to learn how to keep my feet within your
Roads
The way a man removes his shoes when he must cross
Himself like a stream
And I long for your word bursting once more
With stars
So that I can cut them out and place them in the silence
Alive
In my mouth and in my hands
On fire
*
Procuro o trânsito de um homem que repousa em ti
Como se desvia um homem do seu coração para seguir viagem
Como deixa ficar tudo e acrescenta à sua herança
Procuro conhecer os símbolos, os marcos miliares
Diurnos, como se lêem
Sinais de fumo e o ângulo dos pombos – e todas as coisas
Que nos chegam da distância
Procuro saber como se fecham os pés dentro dos teus
Percursos
Como se põe descalço um homem que necessita
De atravessar-se
E desejo outra vez desdobrada a tua palavra cheia
De estrelas
Para que as recorte, para que as ponha no silêncio
Vivas
Na minha boca e nas minhas mãos
Em chamas

This German accordian belonged to my mother's father and now it belongs to me. I have a wonderful black and white photograph of him playing it back in the early 1960s.
Three small cups from a set of six. They belonged to my late grandmother and were intended to drink cassis liquor, a popular thing in Burgundy. Now they got a new job as Espresso cups, and they do it well.
The backdrop is a really old bedsheet from the same houshold. It's been full of holes for a long time, so my mother made a ghost costume for my little son out of it.
- Happy Macro Monday! -
Revuenon 135mm f/2.8 @f5.6. Got this thing off eBay a few days ago and like it a lot.
This was handed down to my father in law and when he passed it was offered to me.

Both "heritage" and "inheritance" refer to things that you get from your parents or ancestors or others you have some association with, after their deaths. "Inheritance", when used literally, refers to money, real estate, or other tangible property. "Heritage" refers to intangible things, like ideals, knowledge, and moral standards.
Macromondays theme: "inheritance".

When: 20100415, at the Linköping sailingboat harbour.
How and why: Sunset light on this scene, broken reflections that made me pull out the 6-stop ND filter for a long exposure to smoothen things out.
Editing: Tritones (a yellowish and a red colour), brightened up the reflected part a bit. Not much else.
My maternal grandfather's gold and diamond cuff-links, which I have used for fifty years, since I inherited them.
