Striped Insect Owns All That It Sees

The curve on the brim of a hat held by a Lladro figure. And I guess you could add delicate pottery flowers. But my Pick Two is Pottery and Curve. HMM

It fell victim to one of my pet's, that it also lost a toe and has a scratch on the tail, I noticed only in this picture.

MM - pick two

What Rosa rubrifolia's flowers lack in fluffiness, compared to its fuller-flowered relatives, they more than make up for in charm and elegance.

#MacroMondays, #PickTwo, #PinkFlower

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.

contender for Macro Mondays June 14 theme "Pick Two" (metallic / insect)

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.

  

For #MacroMondays

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.

This macro was taken for the Macro Mondays combined words that would make this week's theme.

I picked Iridescent & Abstract and took some pictures of an abalone shell that we bought in New Zealand.

Doesn't it look like the Northern Light? And it was taken on Blue Monday :-)

Unfortunately, I got distracted and forgot to upload the picture to the group. Still, I am very pleased with the result myself.

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.
