Macro Mondays - Snack
Happy Macro Monday everyone.
As it's not a high day or a holiday, there aren't any naughty snacks in the house, so some walnuts and an apple will have to do :))
#MacroMonday
#Nuts
Pareidolia gone nuts? I was lucky that I still had the package of walnut halves that I'd bought for the "In Ice" theme (please see the first comment). So I thought I'd continue that story: a "brain", finally freed from the restrictions of its former ice skull housing – what would it do? I think it would begin to curiously discover its new world, discover its own intellect (without the interfering thoughts of its previous owner) – much like a child that grows up and gets more and more independent, and has an enormous hunger for knowledge, but also for mischief and fun :) My first idea was to make a pair of glasses for the brain / walnut; I thought I'd use jewellery wire for it, but then I looked at the small walnut halves and the thin wire, and thought: impossible! Unachievable! Too difficult for my clumsy hands! Well, I might have given it a (most likely unsuccessful) try, but went looking for nuts in the toolbox instead, nuts small enough to serve as eyes. So may I introduce you to Frankie, the brain that set out to conquer the macro world – but should adjust its eyes first :)
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
Die Muttern aller Kopfnüsse
So erschien mir dieses Thema zunächst – es erwies sich dann aber als erstaunlich leicht und schnell umsetzbar. Zum Glück hatte ich noch Walnüsse vom Thema "In Ice" übrig, und so dachte ich auch gleich daran, die Geschichte des "Gehirns" im Eisschädel (siehe ersten Kommentar) weiterzuspinnen. Was würde so ein Gehirn, plötzlich ganz auf sich allein gestellt, weil vom Eise, damit aber auch von den störenden Gedanken seines ehemaligen Besitzers befreit, wohl tun? Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass es wie ein Kind seine neue Welt erkundet, wissbegierig und neugierig, dabei auch stets zum einen oder anderen Unfug bereit. Um also der Walnuss alias Hirn ein Gesicht zu geben, dachte ich daran, ihm / ihr eine Brille aus Schmuckdraht zu basteln. Je mehr ich aber überlegte, wie ich das wohl elegant anstellen könnte (z.B. unter Zuhilfenahme von Buntsstiften für die runde Gläserform), ohne mir dabei die Finger und gleich auch noch den Draht unrettbar zu verbiegen, desto lauter wurde der (gedankliche) Ruf nach einer einfacheren Lösung. Also habe ich den Werkzeugkasten nach möglichst kleinen Muttern als "Augen" durchstöbert – und wurde zum Glück fündig :) Darf ich also vorstellen: Frankie, das Hirn :)
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne erste Mai-Woche, passt gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!

Last night we had a football evening full of excitement, and in order to reduce the tension since we were rooting for different national teams, we decided to use that time and crack nuts while watching TV. The action was successful because we didn't get nervous so mush and at the end we had 2 kg of cleaned walnuts.
HSoS!
A Black Walnut branch fills this mosaic with beauty and subtle color. The shining sun beams through the nine leaves on the branch.
The original image was captured with my iPhone 11 in my right hand, while my left hand held the branch up against the sun.
This collage was created in picmonkey.com using my one original image and replicated six times here.
Beauty is everywhere. Reach out and capture it!
Back in August I found some walnuts on the ground beneath a walnut tree. I've let them mature in the garage and after removing the green pulpy outer layer, I cracked one open today to see what was inside. Surprise surprise, a walnut!!
If you offer various types of nuts to the squirrels at Monrepos, they will go for the walnuts first. Walnuts in shell are carried away and buried somewhere for later use whereas unshelled walnuts are eaten right away.
Sorry, another squirrel image, and there will be more as due to the ugly weather it's difficult to take new photos. The truth is, though, that I would probably return to the squirrels rather quicky if the weather got better and take even more photos. Visiting Monrepos and watching the squirrels is among the few things I enjoy about the cold season.

A lone mallard watches over a shady stretch of Walnut Creek, in Walnut Creek Civic Park, Walnut Creek, California.
We drove to the Hope Valley in California to see the fall colors in the Sierra Nevada mountains. On the way we passed by a walnut tree farm near Lockeford, where we noticed a lot of dust in the trees. We stopped, it was a good photo opportunity! It turned out that the walnuts just were getting harvested. One machine drove along the nicely arranged trees to shake them one by one to make the nuts fall to the ground, another machine arranged the fallen nuts and debris in the middle between tree rows, and a third machine scooped it up. All that created a lot of dust, to the delight of us three photographers.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

We have a fair number of native black walnut trees here and they seem to have wildly different size crops from one year to the next. I don't remember this particular tree having any nuts before this year when it had a lot. I cracked one open and the nuts are surrounded by thick, black husk material that stained my hands. The nuts are edible for humans and the durable wood is highly prized. Anyway, this is a new one for my prairie seeds set.
