Yet another one from the collection. This time it's a vintage (although probably not too old) Japanese millefiori glass button, which is about ¾" wide. It's leaning against an opaque glass perfume bottle. I've gone for simplicity this time. :)
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Glass.

If this is true of human life as a whole, it is particularly true in the matter that concerns us here. The experience of gratuitousness is the space of encounter with the Lord. Unless we understand the meaning of gratuitousness, there will be no contemplative dimension in our life. Contemplation is not a state of paralysis but of radical self-giving. In the final analysis, to believe in God means to live our life as a gift from God and to look upon everything that happens in it as a manifestation of this gift.

True love exists only among equals, “for love effects a likeness between the lover and the object loved.” And this supposes an ability to approach others and respect their sensitivities.

Zitronen sind im Winter unersetzlich. Sie verbessern nicht nur viele Speisen und Getränke, sondern sind auch überaus gesund. Kuchen, Soßen und Cocktails werden mit Zitrone verfeinert und bekommen den prickelnden Pfiff.
Lemons are irreplaceable in winter. Not only do they improve many foods and drinks, but they are also extremely healthy. Cakes, sauces and cocktails are refined with lemon and get that sparkling whistle.

I love the look of cherries. The translucent quality of this little group plus the fine cottonwood fluff that had landed on them just made them so appealing to me. Large really shows the details if you've time.
Thank you!

Strobist info:
Two Nikon SB900 and one SB700 speedlights, all with snoots, were placed 90-degrees camera left at camera level, and side-by-side, illuminating the dice and the background beyond. The two SB900's were closest to the camera and set to Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power. Furthest away was the SB700. It was also in Manual mode and fired @ 1⁄16 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard PlusX's; the SB700 was put in SU-4 mode and was triggered by the other flashes.

“Oak And Granite, Autumn” — Autumn leaves of black oak trees against a background of Yosemite Valley granite cliffs.
I like oak trees and oak leaves, but they do not generally provide the most intense fall color. In normal light the leaves are a sort of tan-brown that I like to charitably call “golden-brown.” They aren’t normally as spectacular as other leaves that turn golden, orange, and red. However, when the sun is behind the tree, the leaves are translucent enough to glow with rich, warm color.
I went to this location in Yosemite Valley with a plan to photograph some large trees standing in an open meadow. When I arrived, as expected, the shadow from the cliffs across the valley were staring to move across the meadow, and trees were gradually losing that colorful glow. Standing under this tree, I looked up and saw the silhouetted branches and luminous color. I quickly set up to photograph straight into the tree and managed a few photographs before the shadow arrived.
