Crazy Tuesday Theme: #box

 

😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄

"Another Box Turtle in the road. I'll stop to move him." That was my thought until I saw it up close. I dont normally break out the lighting gear for these but this one was a stunner.

This week's Macro Mondays group theme is Lids. I sometimes struggle to find subjects that fit the 3" rule, so I'm always happy when I can turn to miniatures. This box is just 1" long, which means the shoes are tiny. They're quite difficult to handle and I knocked them over many times (!), but I eventually ended up with this. The box and shoes are standing in front of a shabby chic chest of drawers. And, by the way, another thing I love about miniatures is that I can have lots of them without needing to move house. It's probably a good thing that I don't collect jukeboxes... :))

Looking Close ... on Friday!

- From Romeo and Juliet

 

The most perfect little music box, in the shape of a grand piano. And it plays the theme song of Romeo and Juliet - oh, the irony...

 

I absolutely love it. It couldn't be any more perfect.

 

I had a good day today.

Wanted to do some 'Out of the box' experiment.

Ended up with this :-)

...when in need, just open :)

I have never seen a box like this. Have you? Amazing what beauty products use as packaging... trying to catch the customer's eye...

Created for the Macro Monday challenge (August 24th 2015) "Divided"

Something different today! Hope you enjoy and thanks for your faves, comments and awards!

The anticipation when seeing a giftbox, unwrapping it, then slowly untying the ribbon and lifting the lid... sigh!

This deposit box has been unused for many years. It is located at the former Farmers and Merchants Bank on Main Street in downtown Benton Harbor.

For the "Looking close... on Friday!" group theme of "old boxes".

 

No idea about the age of this little rather rusty tin box.

Its a nearly 3.5cm sized cube, so its pretty small.

The lid pulls off but if there were any contents they are long gone.

I think the box was an advertising item produced for the biscuit makers 'Huntley & Palmers' in Reading England The four sides and the top list a different type of biscuit, so I can't imagine that it ever contained any of them.

 

The box was given to me several years ago as a Birthday present and is treasured as such.

Or should that be hitman?

 

The notorious Box Tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis, Buxusmot), the very numerous caterpillars are considered a pest.

Jane helped me move around some boxes today. Boxes she could get into and play around.

 

Very important business for a cat.

The Blaak Tower in Rotterdam (NL) is popularly known as 'The Pencil'. Looking at a corner with a shadow and sunny side, I got the impulse to try and mix them up in a pattern. This resulted in a new association as mentioned in the title.

Chocolate mudcake gift box style. The cake didn't come out as high - this is 3''. The gift box cakes tend to look better as a 4'' height

 

I've used Pearl Lustre Spray for the silver & gold.

This looked like a pebble or clump of sargassum or a broken piece of coral ... and then it moved! This tiny crab (about 4 cm across) has a face that "only a mother could love". But watching it slide across the sand was super fun, and gave a unique opportunity to isolate the crab from its surroundings - if you find them (and we have seen only a few before), they are usually tucked under rocks or deep inside cracks, well out of photo reach.

 

There are many box crab species. I will go with "yellow box crab", but if you are more confident of the species id, let me know!

 

Taken with my "wide angle" lens. (The "eternal" debate before each dive - wide angle or macro?) Fortunately, at 70mm I was able to get close enough to get the image.

 

Hit "z" twice for a close up view of that lovely face.

Little boxes on the hillside

Little boxes made of ticky tacky

Little boxes

Little boxes

Little boxes all the same

There's a green one and a pink one

And a blue one and a yellow one

And they're all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same

And the people in the houses all go to the university

And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same

And there's doctors and there's lawyers

And business executives

And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry

And they all have pretty children and the children go to school

And the children go to summer camp

And then to the university

And they all get put in boxes, and they all come out the same

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family

And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same

There's a green one, and a pink one

And a blue one and a yellow one

And they're all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same
