Also known as "Sugar In The Raw", is made from natural, non-GMO sugar cane. Its natural molasses produces a distinctive taste and gives a golden color to the granules..

Have a "Happy Macro Monday" 😊
and also a good start into the new week.
Many, many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
OK, apologies for not deciding but went back to the drawing board. Wanted to use natural light originally but could not resist lighting these grains of salt a bit more dramatically! At this scale I ended up arranging actual grains of salt and picking the more interesting ones!
Shot on the edge of a lens cap that I must remember to clean before refitting! Guessing this is around 6mm-8mm in actual size, the smaller grains are grinds from the grinder.
There are 87 Kingfisher breeds in the world but only one the the beautiful Alcedo atthis, breeds in Europe.
The kingfisher’s contrasting colours – orange, cyan and blue – produce a startling flash of colour. product of tiny pigment granules but its cyan and blue feathers contain no pigments. These colours are ‘structural’. They are created by the intricate structural arrangement of a transparent material which, depending on its precise make-up and thickness compared to the tiny wavelength of light, produces a range of colours by ‘incident light’ – in other words light shining on the sample.

I had this one idea for MM's "Granules", and realized only today that I couldn't make it work with the props at hand. I tried, but it all looked crappy. It's the old story, isn't it? I'm hoping for a Redux theme this year so I can give it another try. Or I'll try it without a specific theme. Let's see...
I didn't want to go without a Monday upload, though, so here's a very recent image taken on a sunny April day 11 days ago. We had business to do at our district authority (the former West Berlin town hall, Rathaus Schöneberg, where John F. Kennedy held his famous speech in June 1963), and since this lovely park is nearby, we decided to combine it with a short photowalk afterwards. A very rewarding combination of duty and fun :)
If you look closely, you can see my Mom ([https://www.flickr.com/photos/143593485@N07]) taking a photo ;)
Wishing you a nice new week ahead, dear Flickr friends! Stay positive!
Plastic granules, approx. 2-3 mm in size, photographed through a blue filter.

A measuring spoon for coffee, filled with coffee granules. A level fill is seven grams. The outside diameter of the bowl measures 45mm. Hmm and thanks for any views, faves and comments.

For the Macro Mondays challenge “Four Elements” (May 6th 2019)
It sounded easy - choose one or more of Aristotle's 4 elements, earth, air, fire, and water and represent it in a macro using the 3" size maximum.
I wanted to try Earth, and found myself questioning just what Aristotle included. Just earth and rocks (geological elements) or is it everything that is made of what we think of as 'matter'? All plants, trees, animals ... the entire flora and fauna of the planet? Including everything that lives in the sea (water) ....? I found myself online chasing through philosophical and scientific debates and texts. Fascinating, but maybe not helpful for my photographic choices!
I started off wanting to use sea-sand as it is beautiful and sparkles under the Macro gaze. It fits neatly, as it is derived from rocks, and acted on by water to produce the fine granules. So one, maybe two elements represented there? But then I added a sea-shell, to give more shape and texture to the image. OK I'd call it Earth, but might it be water-based? Maybe I am over-thinking Aristotle ;o)

Happy Aristotelian Macro Monday!

Tiny seashell and sand granules in macro, like sparkling hidden gems. A tiny world full of detail and wonder. How marvelous is nature! :)

For the MM challenge: "Granules"
Himalayan salt is rock salt (halite) mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan. The salt, which often has a pinkish tint due to trace minerals, is primarily used as a food additive to replace refined table salt but is also used for cooking and food presentation, decorative lamps, and spa treatments. Shot here on glass, with a small plastic measuring spoon.

This is a macro shot of a backlit polystyrene cup. Each of the larger granules is approximately 1mm across. I originally shot with light to the side which gave nice texture but the backlight gives it an abstract feel.
Thanks for viewing!

Literally a pinch of salt seen in a very closeup macro image showing the details of the granules of sea salt.

After a while I went back to watch and I really did not expect this. I think the mite got too annoying, or the springtail liked a crunchy snack perhaps... :-)
In autunno con l'accorciarsi delle giornate, le piante richiamano verso le radici i granuli di clorofilla per la sopravvivenza nei mesi invernali, così facendo i pigmenti che mantengono verdi le foglie durante l'estate scompaiono lasciandole di mille colori pronte per staccarsi dalla pianta stessa.
In autumn with the shortening of the days, the plants recall the granules of chlorophyll towards the roots for survival in the winter months, thus making the pigments that keep the leaves green during the summer disappear, leaving them of a thousand colors ready to detach from the plant itself.
Update: this is actually not a geyser, but a pool at the Black Sand Basin.
From the website: www.yellowstonenationalpark.com/blacksand.htm
Temperature 180°F Dimensions 145x191 feet. Depth 23.5 feet. Sunset Lake is a shallow thermal pool with a soft sinter bottom and yellow and orange bacteria and algae edges. The pool discharges into Iron Creek, and overflows into Rainbow Pool creating a large microbial mat between the two thermal features. The 1959 earthquake triggered an eruption of Sunset Lake and the surge of hot water killed the bacteria and algae in the run-off channels. It has erupted only occasionally since 1959; during eruption it surges three feet high but may reach eight to ten feet. No known underground connection exists between Rainbow Pool or other Black Sand Basin thermal features.
