Macro Monday - Nuts
A selection of new and used hexagonal nuts that have a variety of uses in construction and engineering made in both metric and imperial sizes !!
"Nuts"... "Looking close on Friday"... Nuts are one type of fastener. They come in all shapes, sizes and thread types. This is just a very minute selection of imperial size nuts that can be found on Classic British vehicles.
This picture is for the group Happy Caturday and this week the theme is "Autumn Vibes".
Elijah was playing with the leaves and acorns that I brought in until I put the camera up to my face. Instead of playing he decided to pose next to this little pumpkin with a battery operated tea light. :)
For the Macro Mondays theme of 'Nuts'- these are toasted almond flakes ready to sprinkle on my breakfast
I am a nut , and i did fall
From a tree that rises tall
I fell one day, upon the breeze
Onto the wall, that divides the trees
I am a nut, hard and green
I was born up high, but now i'm seen
Alone, on the stone of ancient grey
That travels long, and leads the way
Through the woods, where trees rise tall
Where i, the king of nuts did fall
Pretzel in caramelized sugar with nuts
Caramelization (British English: also caramelisation) is the browning of sugar, a process used extensively in cooking for the resulting nutty flavor and brown color. As the process occurs, volatile chemicals are released, producing the characteristic caramel flavor.
Like the Maillard reaction, caramelization is a type of non-enzymatic browning. However, unlike the Maillard reaction, caramelization is pyrolysis, as opposed to reaction with amino acids.
When caramelization involves the disaccharide sucrose, it is broken down into the monosaccharides fructose and glucose.
The squirrels on Brandon Hill are so tame that with a bit of patience and a handful of monkey nuts you can get them to within a few inches of your camera. Useful if you are trying to catch them with a fish-eye lens.
Edit: This has gone a bit ballistic now, so thank you to everybody for their kind comments and faves. As several people have asked, I placed the nuts on the ground. I set up with my 5D2 and fisheye just a few inches away, lying flat out on the ground and grabbed shots as the squirrels came up close. Simples :^)
Our Jack-o-Lantern Goodie Bowls in our Harvest Fest are a big hit with our backyard visitors. Loaded with a variety of whole and shelled nuts, what's not to like?
The squirrels come, reach in, grab something and then scram! Sometimes, when they grab something big like a walnut, they pause long enough to get a better grip before they speed off. That pause gives me just enough of a chance to grab a quick shot or two.
We've noticed they burry most of what they find, but sometimes they just have to gobble up those goodies right then instead of burying them.
Random shot tonight - my mum was showing the twins how to crack nuts and see what was inside. I rather liked the textures so I stole a few for a practise still life shot. Not sure about it to be honest, but it's getting late now so it will do.
Goal for next week is to plan my shots better and have a clearer idea of what I want to achieve. I bought some indoor sparklers that I was going to try out but I feared I might set off the smoke alarm and wake the kids!
Ute Theater and Events Center, 132 East 4th Street, Rifle, Colorado. The original Ute Theatre on East 3rd Street was opened in 1935 as a 300-seat theatre located in a former retail store. It was destroyed by a fire in 1944. In 1948 this new Ute Theatre was opened, designed by architect Donald J. Monson. It had 600 seats all on a single floor. Later it was known as the Rifle Creek Theatre. In the spring of 2010, a group of citizens came together and formed a non-profit corporation naming it the ‘New Ute Theatre Society’, NUTS for short. Comprised of downtown business owners, contractors and community visionaries, the group set out to rebuild the theatre to its original Art Deco architecture. It was a daunting task, as City resources were scarce after witnessing the most recent oil and gas decline in Western Colorado. Today the theatre hosts movies and performing arts events.
