For MacroMonday's "tribute" theme this week... I went and found the most boring weed I could find, and took some shots of these tiny flower buds. Using the great Raynox MSN-505, I was able to see things my eyes could not, and appreciate this little plant! This bud measured 2.5mm across... very tiny! Please notice the razor thin dof, if viewed in large, or original the closest part to the lens, is just out of the depth of field, this was the best shot I could get...

For Macromonday's Garnish theme.

I was at my whits end this past week trying to think of a photo for this weeks theme and was having no luck as I had no candy in my house. Thankfully I was at a party Saturday with m n’ ms. The flower pattern was not intended but when I looked down at my plate and saw it I knew I had found the perfect thing for my picture this week

for MacroMonday's theme ”Cats and/or Dogs”

Mystical Navel Gazing No More

Kahlil Gibran would never countenance

Close examination of his utterance

that “beauty is not found in the face

But is a light in the heart”: oh so off base

Instead to the fore that guru R. Tagore

Who with uncharacteristic verbosity and more

Prates: “you do not gather the beauty of a flower

By plucking her petals”, Oh my heart grows dour

So then whence beauty? Not verbal effluence!

But maybe MacroMonday’s photographic excellence

Counters mystic poets and gurus’ navel gazing

With comments “beautiful” and “absolutely amazing”.

Since joining the group, every week, the MacroMondays's time has become for me a true moment of creativity at looking for the good photo to propose to the group ! So, for the last theme of the year,"Redux 2016--My Favorite Theme of the Year ", my choice is for "June 13: Stripes". The model, a metallic zebra, is quite bigger than the 3" restriction but his head fits the required size limit. Happy Macro Mondays for all of you !

Selected image for MacroMonday's theme "HAIRS" :)

Full Frame baby! ; )

For this weeks #MonoMonday's & #MacroMonday's , I mentioned last week that I picked myself up a cheeky little early Xmas/Birthday/Why the heck not present! =)

here's another one that could have gone into macromonday's theme of bag yesterday ~grin~

for Macro Mondays Bokeh. Wishing everyone Beannactaí na Nollag.

Whenever I hear the word imagination

this music (originally sung by Gene Wilder in the chocolate room from the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka..." automatically begins to play in my head:

Hold your breath,

make a wish,

count to three:

Come with me, and you'll be

In a world of pure imagination

Take a look and you'll see

Into your imagination

We'll begin, with a spin

Traveling in a world of my creation

What we'll see will defy explanation

And if you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world?

There's nothing to it

There is no life I know

To compare with pure imagination

Living there, you'll be free

If you truly wish to be

And if you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world?

There's nothing to it

There is no life I know

To compare with pure imagination

Living there, you'll be free

If you truly wish to be.

This photo was taken for Macromonday's weekly theme "imagination"

If you listen to the song you will know why I have chosen this instrument.

My photo for Macromonday's theme of the week "childhood memories".

This bracelet had been buried deep down in my jewellry box when I discovered it . I always loved travelling even as a child . Then I got this bracelet and everywhere I travelled I got another little pendant to remind me of the places I had been. Heidelberg is where I grew up. This brought back many wonderful memories from my childhood and I decided to wear it all day. This way the happy thoughts stayed with me all day.

20210316_3781_7D2-100 Rusty Pin Vice (075/365)

I had been out early afternoon for a walk and struggled to get a decent pic, then we had a short sharp electrical storm and I set a camera up to try and record lightning, but I just recorded wind and rain!

Coming home from a great talk on astro photography at my local camera club I saw that MacroMonday's next them is 'rust'. Earlier I had been lamenting the fact that two of my small pin vices has gone rusty while in storage, so at 9:30pm I started to take a few shots, This was the most successful, an in camera double exposure with light from the left for first image and from right for second.

Whether I use it for MacroMonday I don't know yet. I might find some better rusty objects in the next few days.

macromonday's theme is "it's a jungle out there"

for MacroMonday's theme: ugliness

I picked up glass from the beach sand for a whole season and made a mosaic out of it. These are some of the leftover bits. I think it's ugly behavior to toss empty bottles into the ocean even if you're far out at sea.

A quick, easy and simple shot. Quick it wasn't...

For this weeks Macro Monday theme: Five.

Strobist:

Speedlite 430EX II 1/64 24mm high right of camera.

Macro Monday’s - Footwear (9/7/20)

Took quite a few footwear pictures this week, but ended up submitting this to try to add to the diversity of submissions.

MacroMonday's theme this week is "wood" and this is the first thing I thought of for the group.

These wooden balls are about 2cm in diameter (3/4 inch) and I have a lot of them.

Each one is unique just like a human but each one has similarities, just like a human.

Happy Macro Monday people.

for macromonday's theme of wood:

a bracelet and a printer's block letter--

so i guess i have the today's posting pic covered too ~grin~
