Zeds and Qs

Cedarwood which in German is called Zedernholz. It also has a kind of zig-zaggy edge. The little red thing is nothing zeddy, I just felt it needed something extra.
Wooden puzzles bring you back to pre-social media world.. or pre-history... they are just so beautiful...
Il est encore trop tôt pour que les fleurs d'Azalée du jardin soient toutes écloses. Quelques unes restent encore fermées en attendant chacune son tour le soleil pour s'épanouir totalement. Les bêtes, elles, n'attendent pas. #Macro #MacroMondays #Zed

Photo taken by Roby (please see the first comment) as she approached the fourth planet of the Zed Zolar Zystem on another mission to cause some UFO sightings. Ever since Earz's closest neighbour, the Rose Planet, had been made inhabitable, and a commercial shuttle service has been established, it has become the dernier cri for Earzlings to have a cottage on Marz, and to spend at least a few weeks there each year. Since Roby so enjoyed to cause UFO sightings on Earz – they always cause such a pleasant buzz, and they always guarantee such a huge TV, internet and newspaper coverage –, she had decided to expand her planet coverage.
As you know, Marz possesses two irregularly shaped moons, Phoebe and Deizel, and here you can see Phoebe with its characteristic protrusions facing Marz' west pole in the famous "Afternoon Tea" constellation that Phoebe reaches every day precisely at five o'clock in the afternoon, while Deizel is still hidden from the beholder's view, hovering over Marz' south pole (also known as "Marz' kitchen"). Unlike the Earz-like Marz, both Phoebe and Deimos consist mostly of NaCl. This breakthrough discovery made during the 2021 Marz mission "Perzeverance" – which had been expanded to the exploration of Phoebe and Deizel in 2022 after the Marz rover's AI had miraculously developed awareness, and was therefore able to conduct and expand self-reliant experiments beyond Marz' surface – was the final proof that Marz, Phoebe and Deizel originated from the Zechstein Zea (located in the European Permian Bazin which stretches from the east coast of England to northern Poland). It layed the foundation for the settlement of Marz under Perzy's (the name the Marz rover chose for it-, pardon herself) conduct.
So what do we have here: A backlit rose quartz sphere / ball – 2,5 cm / 0,98 inches in diameter –, and a side lit rock salt (Steinsalz) crystal which is 0,9 cm / 0,35 inches wide. I had to focus-stack both the salt crystal and the rose quartz, because anything stopped down further than f/4 resulted in a too prominent background (black glitter foamsheet), but with this relatively wide open aperture I never managed to get both the salt and rose quartz sharp in one shot. The salt crystal was held in place by tweezers (which I'd mounted on a clamp) – another idea had been to photograph the salt crystal only and make it look like a precious raw diamond held by a diamond cutter's tweezers for a close inspection of the "stone's" quality –, and I've retouched the tweezers with the clone stamp in Photoshop post-processing. Further processing was done in Analog Efex.
HMM, Everyone, and stay safe and healthy!
the original height is 1 inch...by the perspective I have brought the width to less than 3 inches

Everyone likes to joke around that The Zed Patch has real zeds (zombies) in it; that they come out at night.
Is it real? Of course its a real place! Its just a dark, dead patch in the middle of the woods where nothing seems to grow.
But as for the zeds? Well its just a rumor but something must be said: people DO go missing out there; especially those who venture out alone.
So if you dare venture out to The Zed Patch at night, bring a flashlight, watch out where you're walking, and bring a friend.
After all, there are a lot of zeds...and they are hungry.
Thank you to Vin Raven-Mysterious for collaborating with me and creating the custom poses! Check out his other dark. alternative, and unique poses and phenomenal photography in People in Photo: Be My Mannequin? Pose Store!
Macro Mondays - Zed; the cardboard tray was exactly 3" wide so I think it was originally designed with MM in mind ; ) Happy Macro Monday : )
For something supposedly relaxing & peaceful - I found trying to create a pattern of concentric rings in the sand with the little rake really stressful!

Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
Another load of wind turbine jackets heading to Nigg for offloading. Lucky to catch Red Zed II coming a bit closer to shore than most others as I'd been held up in traffic in Elgin on my home from work and the ship was almost past Lossie.

……Or do you?
We bought an incomplete and old(ish) dinner service on market stall because A) it was very cheap & B) it was the right colour (the most important bit) to go on a couple of painted dressers in the newly fitted kitchen - when we got home we saw that the Kidney shaped dishes had the “Exclusive To Harrods” mark on them (and only them) and that ironicaly their glaze were the only ones to have CRAZED!!! Is Harrods all its cracked up to be😊 Alan:-)
A shot taken for Macro Mondays theme this week which is “Z” - “Zed” and I have chosen CRAZED as my Zed word.
