Submitted for Macro Mondays on the theme of "Bottoms Up":

European Goldfinch {Carduelis carduelis}

(Explored February 16th 2017)

Thank you everyone so much for all your comments and favourites!

This pretty little seed eater was upside down feeding in this photograph.

I tried to get a good shot of this Goldfinch but as you can see its a bum shot....

Maybe next time I'll be lucky ? just a little bit of nature fun I hope its given someone a laugh ? Cheers.

In-N-Out Burger, a fast-food restaurant chain with locations in the western USA, prints references to Bible verses in small print on areas of packaging including the bottom of their drinking cups.

This inspired me to submit an image for the Macro Mondays theme this week, "Bottoms Up."

Bottom of a plastic water bottle. I like the way you can see the straw and some of the decorations on the outside. I love the way the brand name appears so dimensional. Check my photo stream for a full view.

Bottoms up - Macro Mondays

Wine bottle, turned upside down, with bubbles in the "punt" (indentation) of the bottle's bottom. The labels on the bottle are the "wings". This photo shows about two thirds of the 3" diameter of the bottle.

Literally bottoms up, this is the base of an Old Pulteney whisky bottle. The bottles have a seafaring theme on them due to the location of the distillery in Wick which was a major herring port at one point. The distillery is the most northerly on mainland Scotland. The seafaring imagery is carried through to the base of the bottle with what I take to be a ship's wheel set inside a guiding star or compass points.

This is a Japanese netsuke in the shape of a swan. Yes, it's ivory (pre-CITES), probably around 80 years old. A netsuke is a small sculptural object which has gradually developed in Japan over a period of more than three hundred years. Netsuke initially served both functional and aesthetic purposes. The traditional form of Japanese dress, the kimono, had no pockets. Women would tuck small personal items into their sleeves, but men suspended their tobacco pouches, pipes, purses, writing implements, and other items of daily use on a silk cord passed behind their obi (sash). The netsuke was attached to the other end of the cord preventing the cord from slipping through the obi.

This pic is taken through the base and the foot of the glass, and to my surprise, this led to a sharp pic...

Taken for Macro Mondays theme "Bottoms Up" from 10th of July. Thanks for viewing, faving and comenting !

For the connoisseur, this is an Harcourt type of Baccarat glass (from my great mother)...

shoot thru bottom of tumbler with lime in water

shot by not turning upside down but held up and shot from underneath against light from cabin window - to catch this awesome reflection thru the bottom of a single slice of lime in water - if you didnt know youd swear it was two slices.

.

and then theres the pun i hadnt thought of: this being actually a drink from which expression bottoms up originates - double entendre,eh?

thoughts?

Macro Mondays - Bottoms Up

I was quite busy early in the week, so I didn't even start thinking about this theme until Saturday. I struggled to think of something interesting and original. I discussed it with my wife and still had nothing. Then it hit me. I have used lavender in my Macro Mondays photos for the past two weeks, so I decided to make it three in a row. I have been transplanting lavender starts and the roots (bottom of the plant) are interesting. I took this photo in front of a large lavender plant, so there is bokeh lavender in the background. HMM

My little DSC-RX100 is enjoying the summer. ;-)

I wish you all a HMM and a great week.

I ran out of time today after early morning volunteer work and long work hour.

Came home saw my twins drinking water in the bottoms up manner from their pink bottles. Took one of it held it up against the ceiling light and took the shot from bottom. Effect is rather nice with a mix of colors The ring you saw is the opening of the bottle.

For Macro Mondays - The bottom of a chilli grinder loaded with dried birds-eye chillies. The bottom of a pepper grinder / mill seems to be a common choice for today!
