It was deep afternoon when shadows begin to grow, light becomes gold, and you realize that this particular day has reached its destiny. Like old age, it’s not yet over, but there’s no denying the time of day.

With the help of measuring spoons you always use exactly the right amount of ingredients during cooking and baking. This way you are always assured of a successful result, whatever dish you make!
This is a tiny (the marks on the ruler say 5mm) watch cog. (MM not imperial)
Placed on a metal ruler, you can see the size compared to the markings and the depth of the ruler itself. Had to use extension tubes on top of my usual 90mm macro to get in this close. I even used a tripod instead of hand held.
(Going to be interesting to see how may tags get autocorrected to My Closet as mine tried too!)
HMM!
Macro Mondays - Stitch
Image measures just under 2 1/2" on the long side.
Happy Macro Monday! : )
This is similar to the other macro shoe shot on 3/22 but I used the in-camera focus bracketing (40) for this shot. I think I prefer the lighting in the first one.

This is my favorite hair barrette, a little tarnished but still pretty. The entire feather is just over 4" long.
Happy Macro Monday!
Another of the Cloisonne collection the shoes in a shoebox to hang on the tree. Measures 1-3/4 inch by 3-1/4 inch.
Macro Mondays' weekly theme is: tape.
This is a measuring tape I've used for 20-30 years of sewing. Its wear and tear are showing in the photo.
It really doesn't matter how we feel in a situation if we feel as though we don't measure up that is all we know.

This metal micrometer measuring gauge was one of my father's many tools; before his death he gave many of them to my husband. This tool was used for precise measurement and to measure gap widths.
After he and my mother survived active war duty in the army, they went to university. There they became concerned about government and politics the more they learned. Glad they can't see our situation now.
Inspired by #MacroMondays and #father. As shot, except to remove a bit of cyan along an edge. Approximate width 5cm/ 1.97 inches.
NB. I tried for a no-frills or bokeh approach, a more engineering streamlined look. The histogram looks okay...does it look too dark on your monitor?
In the corridor, light does not comfort it reveals.
A small figure crosses the space before an oversized image, a fragile measure of our place within it.
Young Brian is so pleased with himself - his mum and dad measure him every week and now it seems like he is finally having his growth spurt - adolescence is on the way!
For Macro Mondays theme 'Numbers and Letters'.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
I think we've got some wild and windy cold weather later this week , so I hope for some good beach fun. It'll make a. change from my adder watching. I've seen well over twenty individuals so far this year. the males should be shedding their skins soon then looking for females. So much to look forward to. Weights and Measures is by Dry the River
I have just replaced this image with the same one in monochrome as I think it becomes a more positive image. I have also changed the title as this is more appropriate.
My Closest. Funny things is this little black cat is a mini tape measure, you can just see the tab end at the feet. Happy Monday. HMM

The great egret (Ardea alba), also known as the common egret, large egret, or (in the Old World) great white egret or great white heron is a large, widely distributed egret, with four subspecies found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, it builds tree nests in colonies close to water.
The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures.
Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss, particularly wetland degradation through drainage, grazing, clearing, burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and invasion by exotic plants.
Nevertheless, the species adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas.
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
The great egret feeds in shallow water or drier habitats, feeding mainly on fish, frogs, small mammals, and occasionally small reptiles and insects, spearing them with its long, sharp bill most of the time by standing still and allowing the prey to come within its striking distance of its bill, which it uses as a spear. It often waits motionless for prey, or slowly stalks its victim. Wikipedia
Also a title for a Shakespeare play which was the titles inspiration. A set of 1/4, 1/2, and 1 teaspoon and 1 Tablespoon measuring spoons.
Cheers and HMM !
Out in the asteroid belt, strange spherical icy objects, numbers 5276 and 5277.
The spheres are small decorations to go on present wrappings, they measure 0.45 of an inch in diameter, so the scene is still only around 1 inch.
