Smile on Saturday! :-) - Spoon and Fork
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
For the final Macro Mondays challenge of 2021 we were asked to make a macro photo using two of the themes presented during the year. I chose "In Ice" (Feb 15) and "Forks" (Apr 26). I really enjoyed the 'In Ice' challenge when it came around. I'd never photographed using ice and I achieved some wonderful results. 'Forks' also proved to be an interesting challenge and I love my forks photos. So here's the result of the two - "Forks in Ice".
While I chose this one for Macro Mondays, I did end up with a number of other different versions for this theme - also there in my album. 😀
Thank you for looking. I would really appreciate it if you could follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/shutterhive
Happy "Looking close... on Friday!" with "cutlery".
... and thanks a lot for your views, faves and comments! :-)
For the group's theme, we had to look in the kitchen for macro shots. Found two subjects, a handle of a pot and these forks. The pattern in this shot looks more pleasing to the eye so I chose this. The brown colors are mainly from reflections of the kitchen cabinets.

Macro Mondays - Forks
In my head it was going to be relatively easy - well unitl I realised how curved my fork tines are. So with the help of a clip, a cable tie, a blob of tacky putty and a plastic cup, I balanced the fork handles and created the grid.
Decided on black and gold beads to use as the game pieces...... obviously the grid sat at an angle and the beads just rolled off grhhh!!
This called for the help of some mini glue dots that I cut into quarters to keep the beads in place - a very 'frustrating' and time consuming exercise but was pleased with the result !!
A wet Sunday afternoon on the Tanawha Trail to Boone Fork Creek which looked liked a raging river after all the rainfall.
The Forks' unique history continues into its bustling market. Originally two adjacent stables for competing rail companies circa 1900, the horse stalls were joined together by a courtyard and bridges to create The Forks Market, Winnipeg's incomparable shopping experience.
The Forks Market offers a multitude of shops to browse for a wide variety of specialty items and souvenirs. Downstairs, The Market features an irrresistible fresh food emporium with everything from gourmet cheeses, to meaets, organic backed goods and wine. In the upstairs Hayloft, shoppers will find items ranging from cigars and aromatheraphy products to crafts and artworks from 300 local and Canadian artisans.

The visible part of this "pickle" fork is approximately 1.5" L. I processed with Topaz Gigapixel AI then cropped it a couple of times.
In Western etiquette, an exceptional place is reserved for the old and beloved fork. Its history dates back to Roman times, when the stabbing dagger was refined and made more comfortable with the insertion of more teeth or better prongs.
The fork asserts itself in the elegant courses of Byzantium in the early Middle Ages. Contrary to what is commonly thought, the fork was mainly used by bourgeois and markets mainly in Pisa, Florence and Venice, in the aristocratic courts the etiquette in force still required to pick up food with three fingers and bring it to the mouth. Also in this case, as in the cafe, the church branded the tool as demonic, the story has it that around the year 1000 a Byzantine princess married to a Venetian doge, used the fork at the table making the clergy angry, who judged it diabolical. , feminine and scandalous. The use of the fork was established only in the sixteenth century and became common in the eighteenth century, its fortune is closely linked to pasta and especially spaghetti
