HMM:))
GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS
THEME: PICK TWO
SUBJECT: A KATYDID
(not quite an inch and a half)
I have seen these by our rose bushes but I have never seen them this small. I was sitting by the picnic table by the lake the other day when this very tiny "thing" landed in front of me. The body was no more than 1/4" but the hind legs and the antennae were about 1/2" long! When I went home I went straight to google!
"Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (in Australia, South Africa, Canada, and the United States),[1] or bush crickets.[2] They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers".[3] More than 6,400 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
They are primarily nocturnal in habit with strident mating calls. Many katydids exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves.[4]" - Wikipedia
This is a macro of the intertwined and twisted stems of what my wife calls the 'fortune plant'. I don't really know what these plants are called.
HMM! Pick Two
Caribou Crossing Canadian Whisky. Photographed in front of a black felt cloth. Under 3 inches. Admittedly “low hanging fruit” for this “open” theme.
Created for Macro Mondays theme "pick two", wanted to have something out of the garden, a flower, lucky we have a lot of pink flowers :)
From the lists I selected "Pink" and "Flower"
HMM...... today, 1/21, the macromondays group's theme is "pick two", one from list 1 and one from list 2... this is one of three possibilities. my 2 favorites are this one and the jellyfish paperweight. let the dithering begin :)
this portion of the "candy wrapper" is just a tad over 2 inches
I chose my Delicate Stone for Macro Mondays. I’m happy I was invited to the group!! I have wanted to be a member of this group for a while now. So I do appreciate the invite and I apologize for the confusion on my part🙏. Found in West Virginia!!! Proof that this place was covered by the ocean. My husband found this while working out in the field sampling water at a coal mine.
For “Pick Two”. Twisted plant with some abstract and a bit of fluffy too. Reminded me of a snake wrapped around a branch. The pink flower is less than 1mm.

A metallic glazed pottery vase for Macro Mondays Pick Two theme.
I was clearing out the shed last week and I came across this old hand built pottery vase that I made at my one attempt at pottery evening classes many years ago. It is not a great thing of beauty and the forgetmenots are trying to cover a great chip in the base, yet I can’t quite bring myself to throw it away, so I expect it will go back to the shed after its only moment of glory. Needless to say, I didn’t pursue the dream of being a potter!
