Five deer were in our backyard, next to the back porch, feasting on acorns. I took several photos of the group, but it wasn't until I looked at the photos on the computer that I noticed that least two of the deer are button bucks. This one was closest to the house and his buttons are easy to see. The "buttons" are the bumps or knobs on the forehead, where the antlers are beginning to grow. It will be fun watching these youngsters grow up into handsome adults. Backyard wildlife.
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
With thanks to the "Button Lady" Dawn :-)

A macro view of a decorative metal button. The frame measures one-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The button was placed on top of a piece of elevated plate glass and illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight, the blue and green LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight, and natural window light before being converted to monochrome.
The SB900 was positioned 80° CL and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through a gridded snoot, with a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The Coast TX10 was placed underneath the subject and shown through the plate glass. Soft window light 90° CR was used for fill.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
(Note: Sometimes I convert very colorful images to monochrome because of the contrast control the vibrant color tones allow; that was the choice I made in this case).

The porcelain button depicts a Cattelya orchid. It was made by the Toshikane Company in Japan, probably in the 1950s to early 1960s, and it's unused. Behind it is a miniature coffee pot and mug (there are 2 in the set) made by Wedgwood, which I was lucky enough to spot in the window of a local charity shop. This one's a bit different for me. I don't usually do black. :)
once again, this is a very new style for me.
inspired by lara jade, and kind of rankin too i guess.
i was buying these buttons with my mum today and the woman had a bit of a puzzled look on her face, cause i was going "and i'd like 3 of these, and 2 of those and only one of those" so my mum said they were for my face and completely embarressed me.
also, i think i've completely freaked my brother's girlfriend out!! she was in the house whilst I was walking around with a button face.
fun times :)
