For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Red'.
A case of KISS - 'keep it simple stupid'!
Couldn't have a simpler picture than a mirror with just a tiny red plastic button out of M's sewing box - and yes, she does know I have it!
As for the background Bokeh - I'm still experimenting with this Russian lens but I have got the sort of result I was trying for. A case of living and learning.

Macro Mondays - Button
Decorated in the style of the UK 'Union Jack' flag - each button measures 1.75 cm in diameter.
The Kathmandu brand started over 30 years ago in New Zealand, selling travel and adventure outdoor apparel and equipment. We all buy the brand here and there's a store in most towns and cities throughout the country. Now the brand can also be found in Australia, USA and UK. They always provide at least one spare button when you buy an item of clothing that has button closings.
I thought a this long hair had grown out of my belly button over night. turns out it was just a hair that was caught half way down to the floor.
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.

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).
