"Why do we always want the best? I had to get a toothbrush the other day. Before I left my house, I searched “best toothbrush.” It seemed like the sensible thing to do.
As I typed in the searchbox, the auto-fill completed the thought immediately. I wasn’t alone in my toothbrush purchase insecurity. A flurry of articles came up with conflicting opinions and, for a moment, I felt stupid.
Every toothbrush I bought on a hunch has been fine. I’ve never been disappointed in a toothbrush. Why waste my time trying to find the best? Have you ever run into someone with no teeth and asked, “What happened?”
And they replied, “Bought the wrong toothbrush. Should have done more research.” Then again, I do use a toothbrush quite a bit. If you can get the best, why not?
I mentioned the dilemma to a friend. She said her dentist had given her a great toothbrush called Timbul. She claimed it was “amazing” and it “changed the game.”
A game-changing toothbrush!
I went on Amazon and found it. There were 192 reviews.
First review. 5 stars. “Great brushes.” From a guy delightfully named, Skip Smiley.
Could I trust him? I clicked to see his other reviews.
I soon began to question Mr. Smiley’s integrity. Dude was giving 5 stars to everything:
A diving snorkel: “Love it.”
The book, I, Alex Cross: “Great book.”
An ink cartridge: “Just fine.”
“Just fine” but still five stars? Huh? More research had to be done.
But then I thought about Skip Smiley. Maybe he figured it out. Maybe you just make confident decisions and feel great about them. Did Skip fret about which diving snorkel to buy? Doubtful. Instead of stressing out about other options and possibilities, he was swimming with his snorkel, making the best of life.
I decided to buy the toothbrush. And you know what?
It’s a great toothbrush."

The genus name Orgyia is from the ancient Greek word ὄργυια, órgyia - 'outstretched arms'. So named because, when at rest, the moth stretches forward its forelegs like arms.
The larvae are brightly colored, with tufts of hair-like setae, about 6 cm long. The head is bright red and the body has yellow and orange dots, with a black stripe along the middle of the back. Four white toothbrush-like tufts stand out from the back, and a gray-brown hair pencil is at the hind end. There’s a theory that the four white tufts mimic the external cocoons of parasitic wasps. Touching the hairs sets off an allergic reaction in many humans.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "Brush".
For this theme my first thoughts were a toothbrush, which I thought was too obvious at first, carbon brushes which would mean I would have to disassemble something with an electric motor such as our hoover and also two small brushes which I use to help clean my cameras just by brushing dust from the bodies.
One of these cleaning brushes was going to be my subject at first but after thinking about how I could put a slightly different spin on it (which I usually do) my thoughts wandered back to a toothbrush and I decided to see if I could record water being flicked from the brush while scraping my finger along the bristles.
Setting this up was quite simple and I taped a brand new toothbrush to a toolbox next to the kitchen sink and set my flash up right above it. With a black background in place I then filled a plastic beaker with water and poured some onto the toothbrush and tried some exposures. At 1/16th power the flash would keep up with the camera in continuous shooting mode for five or six exposures before dropping a frame or two.
Even at the 1/16th power with quite a quick flash duration there is some movement in the water that is being sprayed which shows just how fast it is moving.
Macro Mondays: Ready for the day
Like most people I start my day with brushing my tooth. And with this crystal clear water splashes it weakens you up and you can start your day in a fresh mood.
I think I may have missed the point here. Goes together like...…………...toothbrush and paste! Yes, it was a common saying in the Newton household when I was a child. "Goes together like toothbrush and paste" my Mum would say at bedtime as we ran around in our pyjamas...………...No, she didn't
Besides this is the latest hygiene product. Most people just rinse their brush and stand it in a mug. Very unhygienic. The latest thing is to store your used brush under these specially developed microbe killing blue and green lights to reduces gum and tongue diseases.
Created for Vivid Imagination's "Morning Rituals" challenge.
Just having fun with color and pattern. All photos and textures are mine.
GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS
THEME: BRUSH
SUBJECT: $1.99 TOOTHBRUSH FROM WALLGREENS! :-)
I bought it just for this purpose! Didn't want to shoot a used one! :-)
(the end of the toothbrush is not quite 3/8". the total area of composition is less than 2")
I hope the rule for this theme doesn't require me to fill the area. I have to go back and reread the rules! I gave this composition a long thought, so I hope this is acceptable.
OK, I went to double check and there is no mention of having the subject has to fill the area, But, I do like this ...
"Choose the most interesting one, a nice composition, good light and surprise us with your brush photo."
So I accidentally created a series call "Just a ..........". I always have shots left over from the different challenge I participate in, so i decided to go ahead and post them under the series. TGF. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment
And she never complains
Well, hardly ever
And then jokingly she says
Boy, it's been so long since I held you
I nearly gave you up for dead
I nearly gave you up for dead
I nearly gave you up for dead
Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
This is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia I am at your command
At least until morning comes
Then, I must be off again
I must be off again
Lydia, you know I always talk about conscious decisions
About running my own life
But maybe I'm fooling myself
It's a role I like to play
'Cause more often than not I'm down here on the corner
I'm sorry I woke you
Do you feel like some company?
Babe, I need a place to stay
Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
This is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command
At least until morning comes
Then I must be off again
I must be off again
Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
This is more than I had planned
Lydia, Lydia, I am at your command
At least until morning comes
Then I must be off again
I must be off again
I sleep with a woman who thinks I'm a child
Well, maybe I am
No, that wouldn't surprise anyone
I suspect that much is true
But, Lydia, if you only knew just how much I love you
Did you know that I love you?
It's the best that I can do
Lydia, Lydia, how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all
No, this is more than I had planned
