Macro Mondays theme Magnet. This is a pen shaped awl for scratching metal. Why it has a magnet in the other end I don't know. it's holding copper clad BBs.
Whenever we travel, we get a fridge magnet. However, since they don't stick to our new refrigerator, I have a magnetic bulletin board I put them on. Area photographed is 3 in wide x 2.25 in tall.
For Macro Mondays theme "Collection"
The magnet is hidden behind the back of the little figure.
Width is 55 mm.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #Magnet

While searching for a magnet for this week's theme found this tiny magnet stuck to an Indian one rupee coin and decided this will be the one !
Inserted a visiting card between the magnet and coin to show them both clearly

Omg, I love this theme!
I have an extensive collection of fridge magnets, I collect them from every place, country I’ve been too. I have eight of these boards (sadly could only get 6 in pic) they are in my little loo.
They are such a great memory booster for Us.
I reckon I have over 450 of them.
Walking along the banks of the River Thames in the Autumn of 2021 we came across these guys "fishing" for metal.
I had my Holga loaded with HP5 and of course, asked for his portrait.
For the Looking Close on Friday Challenge: Fridge Magnets. This one not only sticks to the fridge and holds things in place but if you touch it there is a very satisfying MOOO sound.
Macro Monday Group member , do you ever go round the house wondering how an earth you can comply with this week's challenge? So, it was for me with "magnet". I don't have any save for some magnetised rubber letters i put on a steel sign outside. Oh, and we have a few tacky fridge magnets, but nothing that would make an interesting photo. So I had given up, and went to make a cup of tea (The English way, not American with saucepan on the hob). Needing a teaspoon I went to the cutlery drawer: ha,! there's just one left and i reached for it. But it wouldn't come out. Inexplicably it was stuck to some monstrous can opener: I had to fight the teaspoon off it. And then I realised the tin opener had a magnet on it, a very strong one for catching jagged edged tin lids so they don't drop in the food. I had my magnet! And there it is, on the right, holding the elaborate teaspoon handle.
And then I remembered my gandaughter had left a big set of Magnatile construction pieces in our house.....
Macro Mondays theme: Magnet
My subject is a magnetic pin cushion. This handy little device is an oval with a strong magnet inside, very handy to keep next to a sewing machine to safely stash removed basting pins. At the moment it holds a batch of safety pins and a piece of wire. Not sure where it came from but it was too short to shape an H, so it now represents Macro Monday.
My mother used to say, "See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck." Many of her garments had a chain of safety pins attached.
I prefer the far more realistic observation: "See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have a pin."
HMM
We were attracted like magnets
... so the circle was closed...
... and magic happened.

Different configurations of collected steel sculptural forms. Two being magnetic allowing for reconfiguration at the whim of the owner/curator. The diameter of the round base is about 200mm.
My Apple Watch charger is very magnetic and kind of photogenic as well. Works perfectly for this weeks magnet theme in Macro Mondays :)

uberOrbs (formerly Magnetoids)Two highly polished, elliptical shaped magnets that are
made of a smooth ceramic or glass-like mineral called Hematite.
These charming and colourful butterfly fridge magnets were made for charity by a friend we met in Anola,just east of Winnipeg, Canada.
They were made out of re-cycled plastic. Amazing work.
Keep well everyone.
I like taking beautiful photos of sad places. That's what I tell people that ask. I'm hardly ever asked, but I keep that answer handy because it pleases me. Finding sad places is the easy part. Transcending the sadness not so much. It's usually more of a thought process than a technical achievement. The camera is the medium. A visual extension of my mind's eye...a way to capture the essence of something I want to articulate. Things that are often based more on a feeling or a sense than things actually present. Sometimes it pans out; others not. More often, the results go out of kilter: too much beauty or too much sadness. It's all very subjective and I think my state of mind plays into which direction it will go. Weather can also skew the results. Just a little sun can cause unwanted cheerfulness or unwanted contrast. Likewise overcast can flatten a scene into lifelessness. And then there's times when the sadness is compounded to the point where there really isn't any beauty left in the scene. For some reason images like this result from my drive-by photos where the camera captures passing scenery. It's all quite spontaneous; nothing is composed or framed. It's just random image acquisition. It puts me in mind of people I've seen on youtube tossing a magnet on a rope into a lake to see what they can pull up. Lots of failure, but you just never know what's going to come up on the end of that rope.
A fridge magnet I bought in London during a business trip. There are landmarks and iconic symbols of London city.
This is a portion, 2 7/8" across, of a circular magnet 5" in diameter.
For Evolution Veterinary Specialists, a fancy veterinary clinic and emergency hospital near here.
This is the only magnet I currently have access to.
For Macro Mondays, Magnet.
Happy "Looking close... on Friday!" with "magnets".
