This is probably my favorite of the gazillion pictures I shot for the Macro Mondays theme of medium for 3/28. It’s a portion of a small watercolor painting of a windmill in a field of tulips that my dear SIL created, along with a miniature set of brushes, although I have no clue if they’re even appropriate for water colors. (the size verification shots are in the first comment box :) In rereading the topic, methinks that these are tools to transport the media and might be disallowed??? I might give it a whirl and see what the admins think.

The grandchildren are all grown up so it’s for the tin of pencils to go to a charity shop to be used and enjoyed again.

Difficult not to take a photo of this fine building when the light is shining on it. And the rendering and sharpness from the Flexaret is wonderful.

……. Another view of the Weir on the River Teme at Ludlow. This bridge was formerly know as the New Bridge when it was built by Thomas Telford back in 1823 - wouldn’t mind a penny per gallon thats flowed under it since then!! ….. Alan:-)

My first photo after a corona infection, I've been very sick for 4 days but now I'm getting better, so I couldn't escape it...
I have quite a collection of these little paint pots from my hobby of model making. I bought them originally to paint "Airfix and Revell" kits but I progressed onto scratch building my own models. There was always more than enough in the pots for the kits but I would often run out on my own projects.
I shot the image at f/3.5 and f/11 but I preferred the slightly softer image at the wide aperture. I used 3 silvered cards, two for background and placement and the other for reflected light.
My first post from a 1932-ish Rolleiflex.

This is a medium-sized robber fly. Though I didn't measure it while photographing it, I think it was around one-half to two-thirds an inch in length. It was a very, very good day for insect photography (overcast enough most weren't fleeing overly readily, but they were present). And this was an exceedingly cooperative model, letting me take one or two photos and then turning as though to present another view. Details of compound eyes can be seen viewed large. Taken with the Raynox 250 snap-on lens (handheld, single shot).
After the grain train clears the block at MP 132, the signal displays "approach medium". This is one of the unique features that will disappear when the new signal system is cut over.
A medium-sized dark-backed albatross with pale underwings outlined by a narrow dark border and a dark notch in the armpit. The adult has a whitish head with grayish cheeks that give it a “white-capped” appearance. The gray-green bill has a yellowish tip to both mandibles. Juveniles are grayer on the head with gray bills. The species breeds on islands off Tasmania and New Zealand but disperses widely across the southern Oceans between 15 and 60°S, where it is a frequently encountered pelagic seabird. Similar albatrosses have a dark-tipped (not pale-tipped) lower half to the bill, and Salvin’s Albatross has a pale gray head and Chatham Albatross a slaty-gray head, further differentiating them from White-capped Albatross. Juveniles of these three are very difficult to separate. (eBird)

By far the most frequently seen albatraoss of our trip. Usually seen gliding effortlessly over the ocean, this one decided to join the fun of our albatross hunt. He is one of the four species that we found that day.
