"One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls."

The picture was added to the Macro Monday photo pool, for the theme "Bottom's Up"

The underside of a silicon gel heel pad. These are used to cushion the impact on the heel when walking, reducing pain.
I placed a pad against a window to enhance the blue colour from the silicon material.
For the 'Macro Monday' - 'Bottoms Up' challenge 10th July 2017.
This image was produced for the Macro Mondays theme of Bottoms Up. It is an image of the underside of a gas burner from a domestic cooker. Even though it is not attached to the cooker the gas burner is still burning with the characteristic natural gas blue flame. Taken with Fuji XT2 fitted with a Samsung 100mm f2.8 macro lens. Elinchrom studio lighting.

I was at a total loss as to what my subject was going to be until this morning. After setting up and deciding I required the assistance of my flashgun I poured Port into a shotglass and discovered that the flash would keep up with the camera in continuous shooting mode.
The blue in the picture is actually the sky outside the window being refracted in the glass. I quite liked it so didn't block it out.
First entry for MM with my new phone! Destroyed the cam on my old phone a while back:(.. I'm back though! Let's see what the s8 can do:)
Earlier in the year, I observed what I believe to be ballooning (also known as kiting) in a very tiny juvenile spider, no more than a couple of mm in size.
This action is a means by which spiders (mostly spiderlings) can move through the air by releasing one or more silk threads to catch the wind. They are wafted aloft and are at the mercy of the air currents.
The spider climbs to a high point, stands on its toes and points its abdomen to the sky, releasing fine silk threads from its spinneret until lift off occurs. Journeys achieved vary from a few metres to hundreds of kilometres. I even read that atmospheric samples collected from balloons at 5km above the earth have reported spider landings.

I found myself in our kitchen again, hunting for macro subjects to shoot 'bottoms up'. Our trusty French pepper mill proved to be a good subject.
HMM to all!
In an almost vain attempt to find a suitable subject for this week's Macro Mondays theme- Bottoms Up- I finally saw the light, as it were! The bottom of a banned incandescent lightbulb! HMM
Walking past some Canada Geese swimming in our ocean water at Burrard Inlet, some of them went diving for food and of course I took their photo! They do look so comical.
Well, it's not every day that you get to see a sight like this. Just luck that I happened to be at Santee Lakes a couple of days ago with my camera. Lucky me!
Other birds pictures that I've taken can be seen in my Birds album, if you like this kind of thing.

This is printed on the underside of an old porcelain dog figurine, belonging to my mother. Between 1945 and 1952, under General Douglas MacArthur's command, all factories were instructed to print "Occupied Japan" or "Made in Occupied Japan" on their products.
