Macro Mondays and the theme of "Glass" and I decided on using a wine glass to show light refraction through the stem of the glass.
I had this idea while using the glass for it's intended purpose.
after first trying to photograph the name of the wine through the stem and not liking the result I thought about making it a colour oriented shot and used the coloured stripey bag that I used in a recent Macro Mondays effort.
Clean stem glasses are stored upside down in a bar. A play of warm light, shadows and reflections. The impression of cleanliness.
No time for much right now so this was supposed to be a quick photo that ended up taking longer than expected (as they often do)!

The winding stem on my Grandfather's gold pocket watch. For the Macro Mondays Group. Topic: As long as it ticks." HMM! Looking at the group's postings it is clear I was not the first to think of this idea. Many of us seem to have watches both wrist and pocket on the brain. If you aren't a member of Macro Mondays, you might want to check out all of the ticking shots the gang came up with. www.flickr.com/groups/macromonday/

Last night I opened a bottle of Prosecco and, yes, I can down a whole bottle in one evening, but I didn't. What was left, was a well earned reward for spending most of today gardening.
Cyathea medullaris, popularly known as the black tree fern or mamaku, is a large tree fern up to 20 m tall. The trunk is covered with hexagonal stipe bases. C. medullaris is distributed across the south-west Pacific from Fiji to Pitcairn and New Zealand.

As I walked through the produce section, I stopped in amazement when I spotted the broccoli romanesque. I knew immediately that it was an example in nature of a fractal pattern.

Another shot of this tiny Ceutorhynch (Seed) Weevil that I posted a couple of weeks back. As I noted previously, you really get no idea how small they are from a photo, but believe me when I say it was no more than 3mm long.
The hay is basically 'tall Bluestem' indigenous to Kansas, USA. It if very nutritious for ruminant animals like cattle. The seed stems can reach 7 feet in height. Will post a picture of them later.
Yellow Dot Wedelia (Wedelia trilobata)
"Wedelia grows rapidly in well drained soil and re-roots from stems laying on the ground. Good cover in shady areas where grass no longer grows, it will also grow fast in full sun. Bright yellow flowers are a nice contrast to the dark green foliage."

Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' (aka 'Bronze' or 'Vera Higgins'): Brilliant pink leaves, shading from light rose to deep coral. The stems can grow long and start to bend and trail, with leaves growing on the full length of the stems. It can also be kept more compact with regular pruning (How to Fix Overgrown Succulents). It is a strong grower that can eventually form thick clusters in a range of sunset tones. This cultivar is likely a hybrid of Graptopetalum paraguayense x Sedum stahlii.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings and mature leaves.
