“People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Psychologist
From a scientific point of view, here are some interesting facts.
“These sparks from the sparkler are HOT. I mean super hot. It depends on the kind of sparkler, but the temperature of these sparks can be anywhere from 1800°F to 3000°F (1000°C – 1600°C).
How hot is that? Here are some temperatures of some other things you might have seen.
- Human body = 98°F (37°C)
- Your oven can get up to 550°F, but the element (the heating part) can get up to 1500°F (815°C).
- The glowing filament in an incandescent lightbulb is about 4500°F (2500°C).
- Iron melts at 2800°F (1500°C).”

Dual use photo today. Macro Mondays and 365. The steam is for real - bread was straight from the oven.
If you'd like to see the others from my 365, they're here: flic.kr/s/aHskPxovML
Thanks for looking!
Some days I wish I didn't see a photo in everything I do. Getting too close to a pot of boiling water was not a smart idea.....boiling water hurts. Lesson learned.....
Canon EOS 6D - f/6.3 - 1/100sec - 100mm - ISO 800
- for challenge Flickr group: Macro Mondays, theme: Flame
- flame of a tealight placed in a holder with an oval 'look through' opening of 5.5 cm high (see photo in the first comment)
- for a more special appearance I used the chrome effect of Paint Shop Pro
Created for the Theme Negative Space.
Here tried to show the negative space in between the orange shadow of the flames.
HMM !!!!!
Our Daily Challenge: Dry or dried
Macro Mondays: Herbs and spices
I am not a lover of extremely spicy foods so my bottle of red pepper flakes hardly ever gets opened so I thought I would use it for todays shot.
It has been slow on the bird front locally, so I am focusing on Macro and other types of photography. I have no idea the type of bug, other than it is a red bug.
View Large (L). Hot one today here in Philadelphia!~ Have a good day.
It was too beautiful a day to spend shut up in the office. Hettie called her boss feigning wing ache and prepared herself for a glorious day in the summer sun.
I took a version of this image last winter but it wasn’t sharp. I took this new pic this week with a tripod.
For Macro Monday - Keeping it Cool.
I know some of you would have commented on this a few days ago but I have cropped it down as I thought it more fitting for the theme than all the other macros I have taken this week! HMM people- STAY COOL!
A lot. Shot today, in the sweltering heat. This was the vintage aliumery preset before I played with it. Can you say "saturation overload"? I can. I can do it, too.
36.7C in the backyard atm. Which is why I am not out there.
Preset available FREE off the blog for Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop Elements (6&7)

A little bit of warmth on a very grey day (again!)
I'm so enjoying this macro stuff, I love the shallow DoF. Can't wait to save up enough for a good macro lens - for this I just used the cheap converter that came with my camera!
Decided to play with some fire and ice today. It's really hot outside too, so the ice didn't need a lot of fire to melt!
