In front of our house is this huge tree which I started calling the bee-tree, since it is buzzing with insects - mostly bees and bumble bees, flies, butterflies and everything else loving its nectar from the thousands of blossoms. Since my Mum passed 10 days ago it is kind of a new habit to sit on the bench that I installed for her last summer on the porch out front (she was housebound for the last 3 years), have my second morning tea and enjoying the shadow and smell of this tree, its smells and the sound of all them insects. And today I recognised a much bigger striped insect - and realised it was a hornet! Not especially a big fan but am glad they seem to be back. So my input for MM is striped insect.
Love the reflection of the sky on its back.
Blue Bottle Cap
For Macro Mondays

I took this time extreme approach and made this one as totally abstract bokeh picture. Picture is from sequins of the stuffed toy. Although picture is from toy the word pair that I used is Iridescent-Abstract.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pick Two".
Okay I was a bit late this week but didn't want to miss out on the fun. After thinking about what we had around the house I chose my wife's Wicker Basket that she keeps her hair stuff in as there are lots of curves in the handle.
A few seconds of thinking about the background and I decided to place a greenish bag and a pinkish tin so that the handle appears to separate the two colours.
Ambient light was starting to fade by the time I got around to shooting the image but It was at least soft.
#MacroMondays #PickTwo a possibility.
This is probably the most 'damaged' of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. (It’s the #broken #handle of one of the two baskets.) I’ll probably put them all up and then dither
A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end - and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral. ~Maynard James Keenan
Macro Mondays
Pick Two
I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is three Murano iridescent speckled glass eggs -- three for two!
HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

For the "pick two" theme in Macro Mondays, "metallic" and "basket".
This diminutive butterfly livens up my garden, with its fairy-like flutter. On this ornamental garlic flower head, it creates a pretty tableau of complementary colors.
My entry for "Pick two", Macro Mondays' theme for June 14, 2021. I chose "delicate" and "insect" for my particular combination.

- for challenge Flickr group: Macro Mondays, theme: Pick Two
This is for the group Macro Monday's and this week the theme is "Pick Two".
You had to pick an item off of two list. For List A: I chose "Fuzzy" and for List B: I chose "Toy".
With two 1 year old kitties I have plenty of fuzzy toys around the house. These are little fuzzy "worms" that attach to a wand. And of course I ordered them from Chewy.com. Noah and Elijah prefer to play with these off of the wand.
TWISTED GLASS.
Il vetro di Murano è un composto di silice con l’aggiunta di carbonato di sodio. Ad altissime temperature queste polveri fondono e divengono vetro, malleabile, che quindi possono lavorare con diverse tecniche e realizzare meravigliosi oggetti in vetro di Murano.
Il vetro, vetro soffiato o vetro massello, viene lavorato ad alte temperature e per questo vengono utilizzati strumenti particolari scelti a seconda della tecnica che si desidera applicare e alla forma che si vuole realizzare. In base alla finitura che si vuole ottenere dell’oggetto in vetro di Murano, si scelgono anche colorazioni e materiali da aggiungere alla massa originaria.

COMBINE TO MAKE A SUBJECT
Macro Mondays and the theme of "Pick Two"
This week I decided to go for the words "Pink" and "Pen" from the two lists of words and use my mini highlighter pen as the subject.
I decided to draw a quick squiggle on a piece of white paper and photograph that.
I set the focus at three inches just to be sure and then composed. a little focussing closer was required so it is within the size guidelines.
