Strobist: No strobes involved .-) Only a small halogen desktop lamp. Short description: Small bowl of water, put some olive oil drops on the surface (e.g. with a toothpick), blow gently on the surface, until some interesting drops are in focus (lense: 18-55 zoom + two macro spacer rings).
Variation: Put the bowl on a CD/DVD for a nice rainbow effect ...
Inspired by a workshop from Carl Reid in the January Issue of the magazine "Practical Photography" (Jan. 2010, pp. 160-161).

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Macro Monday - "Starts with the Letter B"
This is the surface of a soap bubble. Macro images of soap bubbles is something I've been meaning to try for ages, and this theme gave me the perfect opportunity to do so.
I've just returned from holiday so it'll take me a while to catch up on Macro Monday and my contacts, but I promise I will!

Medicine is magical and magical is art
think of the boy in the bubble and the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe these are the days of mazes in the jungle, mazes in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires
and
baby,
These are the days of miracle and wonder.

Found this housefly resting on a branch and blowing bubble in my rooftop garden.
The housefly (also house fly, house-fly or common housefly), Musca domestica, is a fly of the Brachycera suborder. It is the most common of all domestic flies, accounting for about 90% of all flies in human habitations, and indeed one of the most widely distributed insects, found all over the world; it is considered a pest that can carry serious diseases.
The adults are 8–12 mm long. Their thorax is gray, with four longitudinal dark lines on the back. The whole body is covered with hair-like projections. The females are slightly larger than the males, and have a much larger space between their red compound eyes. The mass of pupae can range from about 8 to 20 mg under different conditions.
Like other Diptera (meaning "two-winged"), houseflies have only one pair of wings; the hind pair is reduced to small halteres that aid in flight stability. Characteristically, the media vein (M1+2 or fourth long vein of the wing) shows a sharp upward bend.
Species that appear similar to the housefly include:
The lesser house fly, Fannia canicularis, is somewhat smaller, more slender, and the media vein is straight.
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, has piercing mouthparts and the media vein is only slightly curved.
