I've missed the last couple of Macro Mondays challenges and thought I better try harder this week. Fortunately we have been having a massive clearout and I came across a few of my mother-in-laws old paperweights. The challenge for this coming Monday is called “Pick Two” and the rules are quite simple. They have created two lists of words, “List A” and a “List B” and placed 5 words in each list. You will select one word from List A and one word from List B and then take a macro image illustrating the combination of your two chosen words.
List A
1. Iridescent
2. Fuzzy
3. Twisted
4. Damaged
5. Speckled
List B
1. Glass
2. Toy
3. Candy
4. Plant
5. Abstract
I've picked "Twisted Glass". It's an old paperweight and it's scratched too. (and only 2.5 inches diameter). And makes a change from slippery grey slate and twisted trees.
For the Macro Mondays group, on the subject of 'Pick Two' - my two words are, fairly obviously, 'RED' and 'PEN'...
This is - equally obviously - the tip of a red felt-tip marker pen...
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Pick two", in this case an adjective and noun from a given list. My two are "striped" and "insect". Not many insects around in Sydney at the moment, but this hoverfly fits the bill.

This is part of a model of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. It is made of clear plastic, but the base is iridescent and in the right light this reflects up through the rest of the model tower.

Yellow and Paper
These are yellow and gold quilled paper circles. Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs.
A fulgurite is rock created when lightning strikes the earth fusing the surrounding sand, soil, rock and minerals together into a tube shape.
This example came from the Mojave desert in California and measures roughly 55mm/2.2 long.
It is placed on top of a black laptop and lit from the bottom of the photo with a small Lume Cube.
Picked these Two for today's MacroMonday theme. The twisted glass icicles will go to the box now, until the next Christmas time ;)
Thank you for watching and Happy Macro Monday everyone!
For Macro Mondays: The flowers are 1/2 inch long. (It’s damaged because I didn’t water it enough and the flowers wilted.)

J'ai ressorti ma mallette toute neuve contenant les ustensiles de barbecue. L'imposante brosse métallique a pris la vedette et ne s'est pas gênée de passer devant tous ses collègues pour le shooting du jour. #Macro #MacroMondays #PickTwo #MetallicBrush

Twisted Abstract
This is top end of wire clothes hangers.I bent some to have more of a abstract feel.
My Dad gave me this set of highball cocktail glassware around 1980, after my parents returned from another trip to Japan. A beautiful set of five, never removed from the stylish box. The glasses are hand-painted with iridescent pastel colors. Total height of glass is 4-5/8” tall, with a shining gold rim. Total area shown in photo is just under 3” high. HMM
Macro Mondays theme.
Flower is a variety of hypericum (St Johns Wort). St Johns Wort Oil is used as a herbal remedy for depression. It cheers me up just looking at the flower.
I think the bug is a small, solitary, species of wasp. Maybe it's lonely and depressed !
