My watercolor brush has a shiny metallic collar to hold the bristles in place.

Glass hard candy with twisted ends for the Macro Mondays group, topic: Pick Two -- Twisted Glass. I could also go with twisted candy using the street definition of twisted to mean weird or strange for the concept of glass candy. Happy Macro Monday!

I was given this Dinky wheelbarrow in around 1950 but it was not long before I had dropped it and bent one of the handles. I then discovered that die cast models are quite brittle as my attempt to straighten it only made matters worse. I ended up with a one-handled wheelbarrow which I still own to this day. Over the years it has also suffered from a bit of paint loss (known as playworn in the trade) but at last it will have its day in the limelight as a Damaged Toy in Macro Mondays!

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.

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Pick Two"

Chosen Words:

CURVED BASKET

Shot with an "Tomioka-Copal 75 mm F 2.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.

[May '22 Note: This is only the second time I've ever been featured in Explore, so that's very exciting. Thank you for the looks, likes, and comments!]

I started with metallic rock, as there's a ton of iridescent shale in my yard, which is partially dug up at the moment. But it was looking less shiny and more plain rock-like in the shots, so then I started paying attention to the almost-too-small-to-see red dots racing over the surface of the wall on which I was setting up the rock shots. This is far and away the closest I've ever seen one of these nearly microscopic invaders. I looked them up, and they're called clover mites.

I might have taken an easy way out chosen twisted candy, but twisted candies in Swedish colors are a pretty good motive :)

Welsh Poppy (Papaver cambricum). I have quite a few of these poppies in the garden. This shot was taken on a day of sunshine and showers, just after a heavy downpour.

Metallic Insect

Speckled glass marbles

Shot with an 18-55mm kit lens on Nikon D300s. To achieve the magnification seen here for this tiny subject (Twizzler made to hold an overhand knot), 20mm extension tube was attached between the lens and the camera. A red tee-shirt hung couple feet behind the subject provided the background. The colors/tones enhanced in Lightroom, then cropped and saved as JPG file in Photoshop.

An off-camera flash was used to light this subject. The flash was triggered by on-camera flash in commander mode.

Unfortunately, the timestamp on my old camera wasn’t checked (and set properly) before shooting this image around 1 pm PST on Jan 21, 2019. My apologies.

Press L key on your keyboard to zoom in and zoom out.

(click on the image if it appears fuzzy when zoomed in or press L 2-3 times)
