A macro shot of a sand dollar.
Sand dollars, like all members of the order Clypeasteroida, possess a rigid skeleton known as a test. The test consists of calcium carbonate plates arranged in a fivefold radial pattern.
Dead individuals are commonly found with their empty test devoid of all surface material and bleached white by sunlight.
I was never aware of their existence until my visit to Coco Plum Beach, Bahamas.
It's on the north end of Great Exuma island, a spot that has become renowned for its shelling and the wonderful sand dollars you can find there, especially during low tide.

Fish and salad delivery for the young and inexperienced. You can tell this was late in the season by the missing primary feathers.
... created for "Macro Mondays" theme... Motion Blur using the old vintage lens Pancolar made in GDR and the extension tube.
Thank you for watching HMM :)
We spent a few days relaxing and hiking in the Black Forest to recharge our batteries.
I took the manual Ricoh XR Rikenon 50mm with me just in case I felt like playing around a bit .... and I actually did : ))

A single white crocus growing from the dark earth, lit up by the sun, the shadow of its stamen can be seen through petals. Buttercup leaves are in focus in the opposite corner of the image.
I was a bit in a hurry since the light was fading very quickly and i was quite far away from the car. Everything was already in my backpack and I promised to myself "no more photography for today".
Then i see this beautiful scene in front of me and i had to take everything out. Again.
I have no regrets 😜

I’d love to write something beautiful and meaningful to complement this image and though this photo speaks volumes and shares an encouraging story with me, I’m not really able to write any words to do it justice. So I will try to let this image speak for itself.
I had been struggling a lot with a physical health condition which I had a procedure for and ended up having some unexpected health problems after the procedure. All of this was interrelated with the effects of trauma I’ve experienced and activated and intensified the overwhelming, disturbing, deeply troubling effects of trauma. It was incredibly challenging due to the physical and emotional symptoms and I managed to spend a few minutes outside just under 2 weeks after the procedure. I was so surprised and encouraged to see this refreshing sight on the porch steps. I could relate to the darkness hanging so strongly overhead and within—I’d been experiencing a lot of this. And the heart I saw in the light was a beautiful reminder of God’s love for me, that He sees me, and is with me in these incredibly intense and difficult moments that feel like too much for me to survive.

Once or twice a year, I bring out my oldest equipment to ensure everything still works. There's no reason for it not to work, but taking a pic or two is the best way to find out. So, I headed to the backyard today with my Fuji X-Pro1 camera (2011), Pentax SMC 50mm manual lens (1970s), and a Fotodiox lens adapter. From the result, I'm thinking I should take this gear out more often.
