damaged chocolate candy, sat in a hot garage all summer, yuck - it was very expensive so of course I still tried it :-)
.....a little black ant.
Sédum Acré or Stonecrop: Are little, about 6 inches tall, plants that I found at the junction of two forest lined roads. The ground is very thin and there are only a few types of little plants that grow there. I noticed this one only about two weeks ago and at that time they didn't have flowers, only buds. I was curious to see the flowers and went back this afternoon to take a look.
This image shows two seed heads from an Aquilegia (columbine) plant - the petals of this variety twist as the flower dries.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Pick Two' (twisted plant).
The image is an homage to Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). His lifelong interest was plants, and as an enthusiastic amateur photographer, he took his pictures using a home-made wooden camera; he then used the images as a teaching aid in the drawing classes he gave at the Berlin College of Art. Despite his crude equipment (by today's standards), he produced iconic botanical images showing exquisite details of plant architecture.

This single hydrangea flower from my garden is sitting on a Limoges porcelain dish I bought when I was first married and excited about setting up a home. As you can probably tell, I've never been very practical. It hasn't seen the light of day for many years, but I always knew it would come in handy for something. :))
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Pick Two. The flower is about ¾" across at its widest point. The two words I chose from the list are in the title.
An abstract macro of a small part of a glass sculpture, with the twisted glass in the foreground measuring approximately 2.5cm (1"). Taken for the Macro Mondays theme "Pick Two", with the first word 'twisted' and the second word 'glass'.

Many thanks for visiting. I truly appreciate your comments and/or faves.
#MacroMondays #PickTwo a possibility. This is one of two baskets that were curved of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. I’ll probably put them all up and then dither
The 6/14/21 Macro Mondays theme was to pick two items from two lists posted in the group. I chose Metallic and Basket.
This image is of a wire egg basket, cobwebs included, that was used on the poultry farm on which my wife Sammy was raised during the 1940s and 50s. See it in the first comment.
Last Minute add to MM because I have been so busy. The only reason I remembered was because my son broke this little candy cane 😅
Striped and Stone.
Well, given not many of us have striped stones laying around - like I do on a bookshelf, I thought it really just had to be done. So I picked two of them. Then I thought, why not decorate the arrangement with two flowers to brighten them up? So I picked two. How daft can you get!?
BTW - I dispute the observation that the arrangement resembles a floral beef burger.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
UN INSETTO FRASTAGLIATO. JAGGED INSECT
Tra le farfalle presenti in Italia, le farfalle macaone sono considerate, da molti, le più belle grazie alla particolare livrea e al volo leggiadro.
La farfalla macaone (nome scientifico Papilio machaon) è abbastanza comune nelle zone di campagna.
Le farfalle macaone presentano una livrea che richiama le più variopinte farfalle esotiche. Predomina il giallo-ocra delle ali, arricchite da macchie e nervature nere. Le ali posteriori terminano a coda dove si notano due macchie blu metallico e due punti rossi contornati di azzurro.
Le dimensioni del macaone vedono un’apertura alare di 7-8 cm.

The delicate Pearl Crescent is one of the most common butterflies of North America, but its small size (1 to 1.5”) keeps it from being as well known as the larger Monarch or Swallowtail. Note the striped antennae.
Brazos Bend State Park, Texas
The wing of this long-legged insect (crane fly?) is so delicate and fragile (and tasty?) that bits are missing from the under edge, as if something has been nibbling at it.
It had no difficulty however in flying away from me.
For MM this week the topic is ....
Pick Two .... from two lists
The first is a list of colours.
The second is a list of items.
Therefore I chose red out of the colour list, and a pen from the items list.
So I arrived at red & pen so I do hope my macro is what is required for this week.

IL GERANIO. RED FLOWER.
I gerani parigini, con la loro particolare conformazione a cascata, offrono fioriture spettacolari su terrazzi e balconi.
Arrivati a noi dal Sud Africa, i gerani parigini hanno in breve tempo ottenuti consensi in tutti i Paesi europei. La loro particolare conformazione ricadente permette infatti di inserirli in balconi e terrazzi per avere un effetto sempre molto scenografico.
Molto spesso sono visibili anche inseriti nelle apposite fioriere ed appesi alle ringhiere dei giardini.

Macro Mondays Theme: Pick Two (Twisted Plant)
I try and grow long, straight, slender carrots in my garden, but sometimes things don't work out as planned.
My mother is an artist at heart. She's always been a musician, she's dabbled with painting, and she's been exceedingly fond of all paper art forms... gift wrapping, coloring, making postcards. A trip to the office supply store to get new pens used to make her giddy! For Mother's Day this year, I got her a quilling kit. What is quilling? Quilling, or paper filigree, is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. I knew she would love it. Because of COVID-19, the kit took over two months to arrive but she finally got it this weekend.
When I saw this week's Macro Mondays theme of "Pick Two," and one of the choices was paper, I asked her if she would create a design for me to use as my subject. This tiny teardrop is shaped out of a quarter-inch wide pink paper strip that she rolled to create this design. The entire shape is less than an inch big. It reminds me of the Fibonacci spiral. She has already created a gorgeous flower out of about a dozen tightly rolled circles and made crimped leaves for it as well. I can't wait to see more of her art!
