Macro Mondays - Refreshments
Thank you very much for your comments and also thanks to those who marked the picture as a favorite! I appreciate each!
This is my last macro added to Macro Mondays group before I leave for my vacation.
Today's theme for the Smile on Saturday group is Tasty Texture. This is a Mars Bar.
Thanks for visiting.
HSoS....
I was amazed at the hidden world in these flowers that the macro uncovers. It was fun cruising through my neighbourhood, hunting for something macro-tastic to shoot! This is a Japanese Peony :)
9/8/15 Thank you so much, everyone, for the views, faves, and comments. This is my first Explore!! and I'm so excited!! My heartfelt gratitude to you all for taking the time.
Macro mondays - a tasty snack
Very good for the heart too, I think the seed at the top was a little too close to the light, it shrivelled ;)
Lynn the Wildlife Rehabilitator returned Mama Cherry to her family today at precisely 8:56AM EST. Lynn had picked Cherry up at 4AM from the Sanctuary (Save Our Seabirds). She was so kind to call me when she arrived, and she stayed a short distance from our property until we had confirmed the location of the family. She and I hung up, and 10 seconds later Classic, Fanta and Fresca were outside my office window.
When Lynn arrived with Cherry, the rest of the family had circled around another building. Lynn carried Cherry out; Cherry saw Fanta and started to wriggle. Lynn let Cherry go, and she went straight to Fanta. Fanta has been falling behind since Cherry has been gone. Classic and Fresca had already moved up the sidewalk, but they definitely saw Cherry and started making their way back. The family reunited against the mundane backdrop of office windows, but for me, it was one of the most beautiful scenes I have witnessed.
Lynn was surprised there wasn’t any trumpeting between Classic and Cherry, but I was closer to them and I could hear them purring and cooing and the chicks were peeping. They walked off together and then Cherry moved off to the pond when they got to the corner of the building. Classic, ever the good father, continued the daily foraging round without her as she got a drink and started to get used to her blessed freedom again. I told Lynn, she probably wanted to blow the stink off of her, the smell of humans and other birds at the sanctuary. Not that those stink…it’s an expression, you know. She wanted to freshen up! =o)
Later in the day, Classic and the chicks joined her at the pond for more foraging. I sat on the hill, and I just watched them. Of course I took some shots, but I also just enjoyed the splendor of seeing my family, our family, together again. I felt myself exhale, and while I will keep a close eye on Cherry and the family in the coming weeks, I feel better knowing they are together.
Thank you God for the blessing of Lynn and the good people at Save Our Searbirds who removed the paperclip from Cherry’s beak, gave her antibiotics, and cared for her. Lynn is some sweet lady, and she is incredibly dedicated and passionate. She often gets 6 rescue calls a day, most of them Sandhill Crane related. She showed me a lot of pictures. All of them made my heart ache, and some of them were incredible success stories. Lynn’s eye lit up, sharing the joy of those who were successfully released back into the wild, and I could see her heart ache when she spoke of those she euthanized and held as they passed away. “I wouldn’t want to be alone when I die; so I don’t let them be alone.”
I am going to go to the Sanctuary in a week and a half. I know a lot of what I may see there will be heart wrenching, but if I can help and raise awareness, that would be a great gift. Thank you my Flickr Friends for all of your prayers and good wishes. I met so many awesome and simpatico contacts because of this story. In case I haven’t mentioned lately, I HAVE THE BEST CONTACTS ON FLICKR. I hope you will check them out! You will find many nature lovers, bird nerds, macro-tastic bug lovers, tree-huggers, funny, talented, engaged and artistic people!
These are not necessarily shots of epic quality. Sometimes it is what it is with wildlife, and I was definitely respecting their space even more than usual, but the feelings were epic for me.

We started eating our garden blackberries in late June and here we are three months later still enjoying them - free and delicious!

Ever the showman and certified nutcase Tony used to close each show by jumping a twenty foot wide apple pie in his trademark V8 custom TransAm. The pie was usually donated afterwards, if there were any takers, and if Tony didn't foul up the stunt!
We're Here mixing toys and food; crazy fools!
Tripod-mounted & remote triggered shutter & strobe on a stand. The car was pushed manually and I used the 120mm manual which is excellent at f16 under the lights, but no leaf shutter unfortunately so 1/125th it is which means the strobe is at full volume, and about three feet away from the action. Macro-tastic! The car and the pie were split onto different layers in Photoshop which was pretty easy given the dark background and treated to differing layer adjustments. The car also has the Glowing Edges filter applied. Sheesh!
Macro-Photo#7
Both Stu and I had a piece of this last night with a cup of Rooibos Chai tea. It was delicious! I am going to use this recipe again. Elana Amsterdam from Elana's Pantry is where I got the recipe.
I am entering a monthly photography competition and this months theme is food. I have narrowed my shots down to two but cannot decide on which to use. I thought my flickr friends might be able to help me in my decision.
This photo I feel is the more imaginative shot wheras the other one I think has a more technically pleasing aspect. Please let me know your comments on both and which you think I should enter.
Many Thanks!
A peach on Sauvie Island, Oregon. 2013.
They were as tasty as they look...And the smell in the grove was incredible.
My daughter showed me a trick where she could float a paperclip on water...macro tastic opportunity to capture the water skin effect ;-)

If you ever go to In N Out, ask that your fries be "well done". They end up with a golden hue and are crispier. Just describing them makes me drool.
