Macro Mondays theme... Rock.
Scoria rock :
Scoria is a highly vesicular, dark colored volcanic rock that may or may not contain crystals. It is typically dark in color, and basaltic or andesitic in composition. Scoria differs from pumice, another vesicular volcanic rock, in having larger vesicles and thicker vesicle walls, and hence is denser. The difference is probably the result of lower magma viscosity, allowing rapid volatile diffusion, bubble growth, coalescence, and bursting. (Wikipedia)
When observed closely with a hand lens, you can often see tiny mineral crystals in scoria.

Stu made a comment these little seeds resemble corn, I agree!
This is what is left of a tiny flower growing along the edge of my yard. Not sure what it is.

The kitchen is often a good place to find a shot for MM and it's where I spotted the spout on an olive oil pot. I lit the edge of the spout and used maximum aperture so only the hole (8mm diameter) is in focus. The result is almost three dimensional.
iwas surprised to find such a nice pattern. Crystal champagne flute, lighted with a gift color wheel using my reverse mounted 50mm Nikkor F 1.8 lens
I was pretty stumped with this week's theme. I wanted subject matter that was ordinary but not usual. I played with bangles, charms and then thought of this. The rubber bands are less than 2 inches long when tied in a knot. I tried like crazy to get that third one to flip up on the left like the other two but it just wouldn't!!
Happy Macro Monday!!
