.. I wanted my original image to be there. I don't like it as much cropped. My bad though, should have measured before I posted it on Macro Mondays.
One of the many interesting shops, selling their wares, in the Byward Market, downtown Ottawa. Happy weekend my friends =)
For this challenge I used an empty glass skull bottle and poured in liquids that don't mix to make stripes. I then illuminated the skull and added some smoke for some attitude. Starting at the bottom and working up. Corn Syrup, dish liquid soap, water, olive oil and rubbing alcohol. Food colour was added to each liquid, but not to the olive oil.

I have always wondered about the typical tiny and useless handles on maple syrup bottles.
"The internet's favorite answer is that the handles are a remnant from when most jars were large earthenware containers. The handle's useful when you're carrying five pounds of liquid, but not so much when you can easily grab the whole bottle in the palm of your hand.
Nowadays, through the magic of marketing and nostalgia, tiny handles = real maple syrup to all of us, and companies keep putitng them on the bottle.
The tiny handle is an example of a skeuomorph, which is not only a fun word to say, but a really neat little piece of vocab. "
We have a favorite pancake recipe that we use that can be found on allrecipes.com allrecipes.com/recipe/162760/fluffy-pancakes/. Sunday mornings are always a leisurely time with a big breakfast. My husband and daughter made a double batch of these pancakes this morning and were very patient with me while a grabbed a few quick compositions. We also had scrambled eggs, and roasted veggies too. Enjoy your day!
"These are the things I learned: share everything, play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap every afternoon, and, when you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together."

Here's wishing you and yours a safe and joyous holiday season. What better way to welcome in the New Year with art created by corn syrup! ;)

Quebec produces 90% of Canada’s maple syrup and nearly 72% of maple syrup production worldwide.
I must confess I’ve seen something similar to this before so I can’t really take credit for the concept. But I had spoons, syrup and waffles so just the right ingredients to rustle up a spot of sweet, sweet plagiarism.
After securing our donuts in the town of Monterey Virginia we headed out into the beautiful countryside of Highland County looking for the Maple Sugar shack that we had visited almost one year ago to the day and were happy to find it. There are quite a few of these Maple Sugar making shacks around the county and many are open during the Maple Fest for visiting. These two gentleman are the same two men that were there last year. So knowledgeable in the process of making maple syrup they generally took turns talking to visitors and explaining the cooking down process but just this one time I was able to snap a shot with both of them in it. I think the one in the background with the purple hat looks like Compo on the "Last of the Summer Wine" a British Sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010. It's very dark in the shed and the only heat is from the fires used to boil down the sap. Unfortunately for us, but happily for them, they had already sold all their Maple Syrup.
The Bradley family settled on Lake Ontario in Clarkson in the early 1800s. It is now a public museum. Their estate was in the middle of a maple grove, so one of the things the family produced was maple syrup. These pails, on the outside wall of the barn, are probably newer ones (no rusty holes) and the public is invited to tap syrup in the spring, To me, the pails look like art installation, especially with the shadows and contrast with rough wood planks.
For "Our Daily Challenge ... sticky"
I know this doesn't look that sticky but as it is golden syrup running on a DVD in the sunshine, it is very sticky. I got the idea for these shots from KittyW who has a number of amazing ones in her photostream. Thanks Kitty.
I think there has been a shelf of old bottles just like this, in almost every living history museum I have visited in the Maritimes and each and every single time I am compelled to take at least one shot of them. Definitely one of my favourite subjects to capture.
FYI, I have no idea what Norm Syrup is or does, maybe it's a Canadian thing??

and for Elisa Liddell!

Having seen what I thought was a maple syrup bottle in Elisa's submission to the Group I went looking and found at least something similar.
Plonked it on my table-top, fixed a background, shone a desk light, grabbed my 'point & shoot' camera and took just the one photograph of the neck of the bottle.
Just a little post-processing to get rid of a mark on the bottle and a bit of the dust, and this is the result.

The beginning of the Syrup process. I had to try some Sorghum Syrup and I like it.
It is much like Cane Syrup, another favorite of mine.

One from an evening meet up with my camera club at the British Sugar Factory last night, as it turns out the huge chimney which I'd been hoping to shoot only operates for a few weeks from October. You learn something new every day.
Took the grandkids out for a drive this afternoon and noticed these maple syrup buckets on the trees... stopped to take a photo. Still a lot of snow on the ground.
Maple Syrup
Grade A | Golden Color and Delicate Taste
Maple Sugaring season is over. I made a little over 8 gallons this year.
When my sweet tooth starts to ache I’ll turn some of the syrup into either maple cream, sugar or maple/peanut butter fudge.
I’d sell some on-line but shipping costs are prohibitive. If you want some the best thing to do is find some at your local grocery store.
No one’s syrup is better than another’s in theory (but I think mine is)
Golden syrup - I still choose to buy a traditional tin instead of a plastic bottle. A "silver" spoon in the foreground reflects part of the design.

Since it's Blackberry Syrup and not milk? What is it with little boys sitting the cap on top and not screwing it on? Instead of getting mad, I got my camera. :)
A loaded corn syrup from ADM in Cedar Rapids crosses the Media Trestle bound for Eagle Pass, TX. The IAIS assembled this train at Silvis and BNSF picked it up from Moline for the trip south.
