Macro Mondays Games or Game Pieces theme.
Some fun childhood memories with this one, I used to play this a lot growing up.
I set up the jacks and ball on a piece of glass placed in a light tent. I shone a small torch on the gold jacks to get more of a glow to the bokeh.
The three front jacks measure a total of 6 cm across and the ball is 2.5 cm in diameter.
The #shadows from a hexagonal grid give the illusion of floating cubes in my #macromonday submission.

Timothy Whites was a British chain of dispensing chemist and houseware stores.
The original Timothy Whites was a ships' chandlers and general store in Portsmouth, started in 1848 by Timothy White who qualified as a pharmacist in 1869. By 1890, Whites was one of four British pharmacists with over ten branches. Whites sold hardware as well as that which was normally found at a retail chemist's. In 1904 he had his company incorporated as Timothy Whites Ltd.
In 1935, Timothy Whites merged with Taylors Drug Co. Ltd. to form Timothy Whites & Taylors; the shops themselves were named either simply "Timothy Whites" or "Timothy Whites & Taylors". The company was taken over by Boots Pure Drug Co. in 1968. Immediately before the takeover, there were 614 Timothy Whites shops, which had had a combined turnover of approximately £33m in the year before the acquisition. As a result of the rationalisation that followed the takeover, Boots rebranded and absorbed the pharmaceutical side of the business, leaving Timothy Whites with just 196 shops that sold only housewares. The Timothy Whites name eventually disappeared in 1985.

I only got one shot at this one because for the second I moved, some yellow leases behind the subject and in so doing I touched the blade of grass and the the drop fell to the ground.
Taken for the Macro Mondays theme "Vegetable(s)" on Monday 18/01/2016
I wanted to try a different technique, so found an old Ikea photo frame, took out the picture, balanced it between two chairs, put a desk lamp underneath and some baking paper on the upper surface of the glass. I then sliced various vegetables at various thicknesses.
This was a fairly thinly sliced red onion, which seemed to have just the right combination of colour and translucence for the effect I was trying to achieve. I'm quite pleased with the end result! Hope you like it too..HMM
even here when we go hunting around the apt, she can find something for macromondays ~grin~
it's an empty mesh make-up bag.
HMM, all :)
looks very cool on black :)
Evolution.

Macro Mondays theme : Vegetables
Bok Choy is a type of Chinese cabbage. I love to use it in my cooking. It adds a touch of luscious green and as we know, green vegetables are good for us! There are of course many varieties of Bok Choy. I bought the “junior” ones (or miniature if you prefer) for my picture. I trimmed the bok choy to get to the center part. I ended up with a 2” tall bok choy! I normally use the regular ones for my cooking but the junior ones are just as good.
Enjoy! And don’t forget to eat your greens!
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
For Macro Mondays.
This week's theme: Plastic
This was kind of difficult for me because I don't like plastic. I feel there is way too much plastic being used for things that could be made from something much more environmentally friendly. But I located a plastic fork in a kitchen drawer and put it into service for a Macro Mondays photo.
HMM
There's only a few simple designs that have been around for so many years, as the safety pin. Effective in keeping us safe from pin pricks. :)
Macromondays "Bottoms up"
This is a 2 inch bottom of a souvenir I bought on holiday.
I think this bottom looks a bit like the plate given to the winner at Wimbledon.
Stack of spaghetti...I worked very hard to get this shot finished. Not sure I'm happy with it yet and I may try it again sometime. This was my first thought and I think it could still work...anyway, here are my circles...the ends of broken spaghetti.
