A range of old bone fragments carved and used as arrowheads have been displayed on a transparent background.
A cold quiet early morning hike to Arrowhead Lake back in the mountains west of Mammoth Lakes, California, on the eastern side of the Sierras. That pool of water in front of the reeds was just full of brook trout. Played some catch and release for a bit of time. It was a very pleasant place to sit and listen to the stream and the world go by.
Another Arrowhead Spider, Verrucosa arenata. I turned my flash output and the ISO to the minimum to avoid blowing out the bright white of the abdomen on this specimen. Baker Wetlands near Lawrence, Kansas. August 26, 2017.
This is an arrowhead I made!! I mainly used pressure flaking on a flake I had taken off a larger piece.
John showed us how to attach it to the shaft using reindeer tendons to tie it in place, then covering the binding with a glue made out of 1:1 pine resin:beeswax.
My flint knapping photos were taken on a day course with John and Val Lord. They have a website here:
John has also written a book that's very useful as a beginner:

And John's son Will is also an expert in flint knapping and excellent teacher. He also runs courses, and will teach hide working, prehistoric jewellery making, bow-making and so forth as well.

The water levels are back to normal as the heavy spring rains turn to more hot summer days. This area was well under water a few weeks ago. Construction continues at this lake as they design new trails and a flood water control system.
For this capture I wanted to focus on the "T" that makes up the end of the pier. Setting up about halfway down the pier, this was a fun shot with the sun just coming down from under the clouds at the end of the long exposure. Really liked how the shadows being cast make the end of the pier look like a pointing arrow. The steps down into the river make a great arrowhead.

When I was a child, my mother collected these arrow heads fashioned from quartz and similar crystals. They eventually were part of my inheritance but, being smaller than a coin, I lost them and just found them last week looking for wrapping paper in the closet.
We were allowed to examine them but one rule was to handle with care because they are sharp (first letter of my name).
I pointed them in opposite directions so one of these things is not like the others, backlit them with one strobe and used a second at 45-degrees to light the front.
If you look closely, especially near the edges, you can spot a few tiny bubbles in the stones and notice that the one at the upper left has stripes.
Good thing that anything goes for the Macro Mondays "redux" theme.
Strobist:
Arrow heads are lying on a Stofen omnibounce on mounted to a 600EX-II RT pointed up. Front lighting is from a 430EX-III RT at approximately 45-degrees at camera left.
