Macro Monday's Theme 30 May 2022. This is vegetable protein powder that we have in our thick breakfast shakes, made with Soy Milk and sliced bananas, every morning since 1990. The only time we wouldn't have this drink is when we're away for a short break. It's coupled with a fresh vegetable juice drink made from carrots, beetroot and celery with a touch of root ginger. Yum

This is my entry into the MACRO MONDAYS competition theme "Sound" for the week beginning 31 August 2020.
I took this macro photo using an electronic keyboard and a sheet of written music "Clair de Lune" (moonlight) by Claude Debussy.
It was an interesting undertaking, trying to get the camera positioned in a way to show the keys and the music, along with reflections of the music onto the keys. In the end I had my tripod bent in half, with the camera upside down and set about 2mm above the keys, while I moved lights around until I achieved a good reflection. Really fun to do.
Yes it's the corner of a box. One that you buy as a flat shape of cardboard and fold together. I've made jigsaw puzzles from several of my children's photos and I put them in these little boxes. I buy the boxes flat and fold them into shape as I need them. You never know what else you might use your items for, do you?
I always keep a selection of plastic-covered hooks. If it hangs, they can hang it. Look all around our house and you'll see the result of my handiwork with white hooks. And then, just to confuse the issue as you're looking around, the odd coloured tack will stand out.
Der Schwarzbraunbinden-Blattspanner, auch als Bergwald-Blattspanner bezeichnet, ist ein Schmetterling aus der Familie der Spanner.
Dieser kleine Kerl war ziemlich hektisch gewesen. Habe mich Ihm langsam genähert und war kurz davor meine Kamera drauf zu halten, da flog Er auch wieder weg.
Zudem setze Er sich dann auch immer an solchen Positionen (zb. tief im Gras auf Bodennähe) die einen sehr unruhigen Hintergrund verursachen würden und das wollte ich halt nicht.
Nach ca. 40 Anläufen oder so hat Er sich dann schön an einem Grashalm gesetzt :)
"In Ice". What a great challenge. This one's a dressmaker's thimble with tiny seed beads spilling out, set in a block of ice that's slightly melted away. HMM 😀
The matchstick burned,
in blue and gold,
it glowed in red,
then died to grey,
turned black,
and was gone...........

From snapping, texting or perhaps just watching the world go by, fasten your seatbelt.
I love this ring and always wear it. I bought it in 2009 in a funny little gift shop attached to the ancient ruins of Glendalough Cathedral, Ireland. The ruins are in County Wicklow, renowned for the early Medieval monastic settlement that was founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. I was on a bus tour that went from London, to various cities and towns heading north, to Edinburgh, back into England and across to Ireland, around Ireland, across to Wales and back to London. I bought the ring because there seemed to be something special about the place where the ruins were - a strong feeling of the ancients. I also needed a pick-me-up because British Airways had lost my suitcase en route from New Zealand to London (I later learned it had gone to Singapore) and when I arrived in England I only had the clothes I was wearing. I had half a day before the tour departed, to set myself up with another suitcase and a few clothes. It was a 3-week tour and I never did get my own suitcase back until we returned to London on the last day. I just love my ring but, unfortunately at the moment, I have a hand condition that means I am unable to wear it on a finger so lately I've been wearing it on a chain around my neck.
Dandelions. Very common weed that adorns urban areas, gardens, fields and just about anywhere. Whatever you think of it, its various stages of transition are magical from a photographic perspective.
Dandelions may be considered a nuisance in parts of the garden, especially in weed-free lawns but have many herbal uses and are a good early source of nectar and pollen for insects so worth tolerating where possible.
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as Dandelions.

When a theme is set, I’m amazed at what I find, to set up a photo to suit.
The theme is Pink, they said. What did I have that’s pink when I like blue?
The official name for my "pink thing" is Multi Functional Microwave Oven Heating Layered Steaming Tray.
I use it in the microwave when I need a double layer to heat several items at once. On the pink tray are some Fancy Bead Caps, leftover from my jewellery making days. Under the pink tray is a square LED light. I set the camera up close and there's my picture. Voila!
This was such an enjoyable Macro Mondays challenge.
The idea was to pick two....
One descriptive word:
List A
1. Striped
2. Jagged
3. Delicate
4. Curved √
5. Metallic
One object to photograph:
List B
1. Pottery
2. Insect
3. Stone
4. Brush √
5. Basket
My choices are 4 and 4 = 16 x lovely 😍
In New Zealand our main mobile phone providers are Spark, Vodafone, 2 Degrees, Skinny. I have been with them all, at different times, sometimes having to change because of the lack of coverage in an area I moved to. We've been on Skinny for the past 5 years however last week, when there was a big storm, their tower in our area went down. Although they said it had been repaired, we still have no signal in our house.
I have an iPhone and my husband has a Samsung Android phone. His phone always gets way better mobile coverage than mine, no matter where we are. I cancelled my Skinny sim card, in favour of one from 2 Degrees, and now I have good coverage in the house. Somehow they sent me 2 sim cards. When I called to tell them this, they told me not to return the extra one but rather to bin it, so I cut it in half. Then I read that our next Macro Mondays theme was to be "card" so I dragged out the cut-up sim card and proceeded to photograph it.
Some things are all about timing.
This is my very small Joby tripod. It's nice and small, pocket size, and I take it with me in my jacket pocket when out with my cameras. It's flexible legs are great - they bend and curve as I need them to. I use this one particularly for mushroom photography.
Happy Macro Mondays

Sometimes photos don't quite turn out how we plan...like this one.🙈 I was intending to take a crisp macro shot of these water droplets, but instead I ended up with this dreamy abstract looking image. Which I love, by the way, much more than the image I thought I was taking 💜
What photos have you taken that you've loved more than the planned shot?

What a very cool film camera, from its rose-gold plastic body to it's very long zoom lens, that fits perfectly into my pocket. Olympus MJU VF 140 is a fully-automatic 35 mm autofocus lens-shutter camera with built-in 38-140mm zoom lens that takes wonderful pictures. There's nothing more to say other than"click".

Yes, it was a challenge to find five 'somethings' that were the same, yet also somewhat unusual. So what are they? They're tiny magnetic plugs that fit into your devices as part of a magnetic charging system. I have these in all my mobile devices (there's a little plug to fit each USB type and then the one magnetic charging cable fits onto any of them). The fun part in doing this, was attempting to control the way the little magnetic plugs randomly clung hard together when I was trying to set them into a pattern. Do you think they would stay where I put them? No way. They had minds of their own. HMM 😀
In its 5th and final Instar the Monarch Caterpillar is almost ready to stop eating and form itself into a J shape and then, after about 24 hours, form its chrysalis.

Check out the rusty old latches
Our selection's the absolute best
There's rust in unique and custom designs
Some come with a bonus cob-web
Whatever you fancy, we have it in stock
Used gate latch, old barn lock, or door
Or maybe a rust-forged slide-bolt will suit
To match with your rusty decor?

Pins can be prickles that puncture and hurt
Pins can be joiners that hold up your skirt
Pins can be holders to set cards on your wall
Pins can be saviours when your buttons all fall
What would we do without pins?
