Wasps eat nearby wood fibers, mix it with their saliva to make a paper pulp and then apply this pulp to build these hexagonal paper capsules for encapsulating their eggs/young. Why hexagons? As it turns out a hexagon format is more material efficient in a given area than just connected flexible circular forms where you would have voids between the circles. Interestingly, you can see this effect in action if you have bubbles of the same size and they merge together, the interfaces will naturally form hexagons as each bubble will be surrounded by six other bubbles in the material efficient way. But in this case, wasps actually do a lot of measurement with their antennae during construction to make uniformly spaced “Y" junctions of a specific angle which when connected make hexagon shapes. So, unlike bubbles that default naturally to hexagons forms, the wasp actually constructs them this way. Submittal for the Macro Monday’s Sept. 28 theme of “Paper.”
Got this new glass ball for photography. My first experiment with it for MM. HMM and Merry Christmas.
Lined up the edge of this giant skyscraper with the edge of this bus stop post. MacroMonday's theme: Edge!!!
Another small column standing up against a Skyscraper... it's an all out rebellion...
These are tiny letterpress metal print stamps (9pt). I tried a few approaches this week with varied effect, turns out all I needed to do was put fresh batteries in my LED torch!

For macromonday's theme Baseball. A ball filled with chewing-gum. This little machine is only an inch (3 cm) tall.
I have to admit my daughter gave me the idea for this shot.
I was always fascinated by my Grammy’s Clip on earrings. I would put them on and can remember how the weight of them stretched my little boy earlobes.
Taken for Macro Monday’s group. The charms measure 1 1/8 inch each. The total area of the photo is less than 2 inches.

😃Thanks for views, faves and comments 😃
Noch nie habe ich ein Buch mit gezackten Seiten gesehen, ein Kochbuch mit Rezepten aus der libanesischen Küche.
Bramble (Blackerry (Rubus fruticosus)) is generally described as deciduous but there are some green leaves on brambles right through the winter (at least here in County Down)
I say this with authority and confidence because years ago when the kids were kids we kept stick-insects for about 3 or 4 years and we fed them exclusively on gathered brambles in leaf replacing them every 4 or 5 days. So I know that I can always find some green bramble leaves around our property even in deepest winter.
In October we see great Autumn colours in the older bramble leaves. Reds and purples through to gold and yellow.
Good one for a macro I thought for Macromonday's Equinox theme this week: "make a photo that represents the change of season to you whether it be to fall or to spring"
The Concretes - Change in the Weather
Macro Mondays - Chocolate
Just for scale, these little cookies measure 1 1/2 inches wide.
Happy Macro Monday to All!
For MacroMonday's "Stack" challenge. The bottom twig is 3/8" in diameter. Tried four exposures at slightly different focus points hoping one would be best, but ended up stacking all four in Photoshop. So, doubly stacked.
Yellow lichen is probably Xanthoria polycarpa which may now be known as Polycauliona polycarpa.
Gray lichen likely is Physcia adscendens.
Happy Macro Monday to all flickr friends, HMM
p.s. These are pieces of a very small magnetic game, the wide of one piece is around 0.9cm, so wide of the picture is about 4.5-5cm. Using the double exposure function of my Nikon D7100.

This is the rusty handle of a lantern. It has been outside for years so it's mostly rust now.
I think it looks more beautiful than when it was new !

Supporting the Macro Monday theme - nice to be able to make some time to play with the image and publish on the same day 😬
1797 was a special time in coinage, because these one penny coins were the first made using a steam driven stamper.
They were made by Matthew Boulton's famous Soho foundry in Birmingham, England.
Each coin weighed one ounce, and consisted of 0.999 pure copper.
The unusual raised rim that runs around the perimeter of the coin gave it it's nickname "Cartwheel".
One penny way back in 1797 would enable you to buy enough candles to light your home for a week.
Love & Peace everyone.
Thanks for, viewing, favouring or commenting .... Cheers!
