This will probably be my last urban shot for a while, I think I've got it out of my system whatever it was I was looking to do :D

Been a nice change, and there's something very cool about the angles and sharp lines of modern architecture against soft skies, I will be back.... but I think my heart is in getting my feet wet in waterfalls or trying to capture the morning mist :)

Looking forward to the autumn and winter now, although I love summer, for photography it's hard to capture anything interesting :) Bring me back my misty mornings and frosty ground :)

I searched high and low, looked at photo examples on line to find something unique for Macros on Monday "Translucent" subjects. Wa-Laaa! right in front of me on my desktop I saw the alabaster former ashtray that I use for paper and binder clips.

The whole dish is 4 inches wide so it was easy to get the required macro but the first images looked like binders in a dark hole. I captured this image on a piece of glass with a speed light below that made the dish glow.

Happy Macro Monday everyone and thanks for your comments and favs.

50/100

For the macromondays theme of translucent for 7/20. This is a “westher predictor” - blue of course! You are seeing the liquid and crystals and its reflection in a black glass mirror like surface. Size verifcation later if i decide to use it.

Not all sunsets are bright orange, red ones. The day had been hot but high cloud rolled in during the afternoon, leading to a cooler, greyer sunset with only a touch of colour. But the exposed sand and low tide at the Colonnades beach made for some muted translucent colours . With the FFM.

Fingertip put on the lense.

About 1" square of a marine shell. It looks like a species of cask or tun shell. I placed a small LED light inside the shell.

I liked the way the light from a south window cast a colored shadow through the translucent tip of the frame.

Translucent forms

that hold me spellbound

nothing there but emptiness

yet in that form I see so much

imagination set free to play

meaning not yet focused.

Macro Mondays theme of 'Translucent'

Have a nice weekend!

A Flickr Friday submission on the topic "Translucent". Three leaves from a Blueberry Ash tree at different stages of development.

Our woodpeckers and squirrels don't seem to like the acorns on these deciduous acorn trees, they largely ignore them, and fight over the acorns on the evergreen California live oaks. I'm assuming they are not indigenous.

I know there's an acorn-y pun in there somewhere, but just can't think of it, right now!
