"The Meisterstück Solitaire Blue Hour LeGrand introduces itself as a precious, blue lacquered Solitaire product with platinum-coated fittings. The magical hour between daylight and night - the Blue Hour - creates a smooth contrast and breathtaking mood, which served as design inspiration. The hexagon pattern on the barrel and cap reflects the refraction of lights and night traffic in urban cities." montblanc.com

I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is an iridescent glass paper weight with reflections of the ceiling fan.

HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Pick Two Macro Mondays

I've missed the last couple of Macro Mondays challenges and thought I better try harder this week. Fortunately we have been having a massive clearout and I came across a few of my mother-in-laws old paperweights. The challenge for this coming Monday is called “Pick Two” and the rules are quite simple. They have created two lists of words, “List A” and a “List B” and placed 5 words in each list. You will select one word from List A and one word from List B and then take a macro image illustrating the combination of your two chosen words.

List A

1. Iridescent

2. Fuzzy

3. Twisted

4. Damaged

5. Speckled

List B

1. Glass

2. Toy

3. Candy

4. Plant

5. Abstract

I've picked "Twisted Glass". It's an old paperweight and it's scratched too. (and only 2.5 inches diameter). And makes a change from slippery grey slate and twisted trees.

This Yellow Flower Macro is for Macro Mondays Pick Two theme. The flower is 2.25 inches in diameter.

I bought the plant two years ago at Desert Survivors Nursery in Tucson. They employ disadvantaged or disabled people. Last autumn I put it into this pot and in the fall it will need a bigger pot.
