Macro Monday - Pick two - I chose pottery and curves.
This is a tiny coffee cup and saucer from a set I bought from a charity shop some time ago. In the saucer are some little petals that came about by accident. One night I took some Gaviscon (a pink liquid to ease heartburn) and must have spilt a drop on the worktop. When I came down the next morning there was a pretty pink dried Gaviscon petal. I instantly thought how nice that might look in a photo so made some more.
I used my Lensbaby Sweet 35 and macro converter. I find it incredibly hard to get perfect focus with this lens but like the soft focus and blur from the Sweet so will embrace the blur...a term I love and have borrowed from Flickr friend Andrew www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom/ HMM

A "Happy Macro Monday" and stay healthy!
A striped brush.
More precisely, it's a sonic toothbrush replaceable head, whose stripes race side-to-side at roughly 250 hertz, or 15,000 oscillations per minute, to do its plaque-busting task. (For comparison, the electricity from your outlet alternates at 50 or 60 Hz, depending on your country.)
The stripes are not all show and no go. The dye in the dark blue pair of bristles fade with use, giving a visual indication the brush head needs replacing.
The theme for this picture is "pottery" and "curved". Both the markings and the shapes are curved here. This piece is from a small collection of German pottery from the 1950's which have a similar kind of colour and very distinctive graphic markings.
For the Macro Mondays theme 'Pick Two'. I chose two iridescent glass marbles and placed them in an old crystal glass on top of some sheets of coloured paper. Nauseating I admit but anyhow HMM!
PS Each marble is less than 1cm diam the glass base is 4cm
For Macro Mondays. This week’s theme: “Pick Two".
My Choice is "Speckled + Glass": frost crystals on the Cold Cellar Window.
Extreme cold warning for Southern Ontario Canada on Sunday as it was -25C and a wind chill values of -40 C.

Macro Mondays Theme: #picktwo
I choose curved pottery or delicate pottery.
Subject size 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm
Happy Macro Mondays everyone
For todays Macro Monday theme of pick two, I chose Pink and Flower. This is a macro of the center of a coneflower. It's about 3/4" wide in this pic. I loved that there's a few teeny white fuzzy things in there too. A nice surprise when I opened the pic in Lightroom. HMM :-)
Yellow and bottle cap. Time for a clean.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

Coke: it's the real thing. Nothing else compares. It is unquestionably King. Pepsi is cool, but only for when there's no Coca-Cola.
This week's Macro Mondays theme is to pick two, one from each list of:
A Colour: Red, blue, Yellow or pink
and
An item from: a flower, bottle cap, paper or pen.
Unless you've been in total lock down for the last 128 years or so you will recognise the red bottle cap I picked.
Thanks Basse for the box of a few thousand bottle tops you sent! Whatever it is it always tastes better out of a chilled glass bottle! Plastic? It's all so passe.
Macro Monday Theme "Pick Two". My picks are "Red" and "Paper". Had some fun making a tiny paper pinwheel. Part of it came undone, but I thought it added to the composition.

Macro Mondays theme Pick Two - Red & Paper
Made of paper, this is the tummy section of a little origami rat/mouse made by a lovely Chinese lady we once knew. She made it to cheer one of our kids up for their birthdays and to mark the Chinese Year of the Rat a number of years ago when they were very unwell. The red section measures just under 4cm across at it's widest point.
Happy Macro Mondays!
This busy Bumble Bee (aren't they all) is gathering pollen from a "pink flower" (wild rose) in our back garden.
You can see the pollen sack on this Bumble Bee's back leg. Bumbles on average will return home carrying an extra 25% of its body weight in pollen.

Macro-Mondays-Pick Two (Delicate Insect)
The Flickr Lounge-Fill The Frame
These little bugs are so friendly, this one landed in front of me and didn't move the whole time I was photographing it. I picked Delicate Insect for today's theme.
For this weeks Macro Mondays theme 'Pick Two' I used the colour pink and the item flower to make this image. HMM
I picked Twisted and Glass... the wire is twisted and it goes through a tiny glass bead. This is around a small votive type scented candle... also glass.
Two naturally white subjects, the white inchworm and the white flower on a chili plant for Smile on Saurday theme 'Natural White'.
A 'striped insect' for Macro Mondays theme 'Pick Two'.
Having spent several days playing around with other combinations for Pick Two (not overly happy with anything), I went into my greenhouse yesterday to do some watering and found this tiny caterpillar on one of my chili plants when I was checking for aphids. Moving the plant to a more photogenic location resulted in the caterpillar adopting this pose by standing on its prolegs at the posterior end and holding motionless long enough for a focus stack. I suspect this is a type of inchworm - larva of the Geometridae family of moths. I have seen inchworms perform this behaviour before in an attempt to fool a predator into thinking the inchworm is a small twig - but I have never seen a white one before, and it would have to be a pretty poor predator that would think this was a twig!
This was shot with a Raynox DCR-250 mounted on my macro lens, so it wasn't until I looked closely when processing that I realised the caterpillar had tiny stripes - theme sorted for this week!
The title was inspired by a 1965 recording by the McCoys: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcHqUGZ6leI
No caterpillars were harmed in the making of this photograph.
There shall be bright morning after the dark times....
Pick two for macro mondays. My picks are damaged and plant.

Chosen Words:
CURVED BASKET
Shot with an "Tomioka-Copal 75 mm F 2.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
I wasn't sure at first if porcelain is classed as pottery, but thankfully it is. This tiny dish is raw, unglazed porcelain and was thrown by hand on a wheel. It's 1¼" in diameter and it's certainly a challenge to photograph! I found the feather and tiny white flower in the garden. Without them, you'd barely be able to see the main subject. :)
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Pick Two. This would fit either delicate or curved, but I'll go with delicate. My chosen words are, therefore, Delicate from List A and Pottery from List B.
