Stack for Macro Mondays, as defined as pile or heap of items placed one on top of the other with at least three single elements. And since I have a small bag full of them, for one of the last Macro Monday challenges, why not use them again.
Crown caps stack from different brands of beer, stacked on top of each other, is less simple then it looks, the just break down fast, by mechanical movement or minor shocks.

Dragonflies are my most favorite insect due to their adorable and curious personalities. They actually love getting their photos taken and seem to smile with a funny cheesey smile and usually a cocked head.
So this took me pretty much all day to figure out how to do and make it work.
Again, playing around with a bit of science here. When a drop of water falls into a fairly deep pan of water, the water first goes way down and then like a rubber band, it springs back up because of the surface tension and sends the drop of water, or in this case milk with a bit of food color in it back up into the air, but what happened here was two more drops of water were falling down directly in line with the first one and impacted into the column of water and milk rising upward and caused these beautiful splashes of water.
I don't own one of those fancy and expensive water drop/splash kits that times everything out for you.
I did this all manually. First, I start with a two second shutter delay to get my hands in the right spots. Then the camera is set to a two second exposure which gives me time to do all the other things. The plunger gets pressed, drops come out, they fall, hit the water and I fire the flash trigger. The flash unit is off to the right side and set to a very small bust, 1/128th power. This is also a very fast burst of light and so it stops all the motion of the splash.
The colors in the background is the reflection of a shiny piece of art paper reflecting a small, adjustable LED panel light onto the waters surface..
Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens.
THANKS GOD IT IS FRIDAY !!! Enjoy the weekend !
Photo Info: taken after a drizzle that afternoon of Jan. 6, 2009 @ the foot of MCUFDTMF Grotto are planted with peanut plant with leaves collected a glistening marble like water droplets. I returned to my LC to get my camera (Nikon D80 + Nikkor VR18-55mm + reverse ring + KFC DIY diffuser) and captured that scene.

Things I ♥ Month Continues! I know it's not Food Month anymore, but the thing is...I still love food...a lot. Plus, we have plenty of leftovers. :)
Chocolate Crumb Cake: While I might not be a total chocoholic, if the chocolate is surrounded by scrumptious marble cake? Divine and MINE.

this spider was trapped in a sticky paper flytrap. removing him was tricky without breaking its legs.
People say this is just a weed that grows in spring, but when I looked closely I saw small dainty flowers that were very lovely!
For Macro Mondays, all black except the screw..

We had a pretty intense ice storm in Montreal, and all the trees were covered in ice. If you looked carefully, you could see the refraction of the trees behind the ice drops, and a little bit of the sun...
Of course, best on black
Another extremely old shot, pink this time! One of several I took at a place called Bicton Gardens, it was actually in their plant sales area, once again I have no clue what it is so if you can identify, please let me know. Flypaper Textures used again!
Wow.! What an amazing capture of this wonderful swallowtail butterfly, taken in the village of Jelsa on the island of Hvar, Croatia. This is one of my favorite image taken of this magnificent creature, maybe it is one of your favorites also.
