Macro Mondays theme:Pick Two

Yellow and Paper

These are yellow and gold quilled paper circles. 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.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme "Pick two". Thanks for viewing, faving and commenting.

This is part of a model of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. It is made of clear plastic, but the base is iridescent and in the right light this reflects up through the rest of the model tower.

Fluffy, twisted, toy abstract - my contribution to the MM challenge for 21/1/19, theme: Pick Two

I was sure I would be posting some kind of iridescent abstract for this but nothing was working then I saw some left over "props" I had for the white on white challenge and thought "they're fuzzy"

J'ai ressorti ma mallette toute neuve contenant les ustensiles de barbecue. L'imposante brosse métallique a pris la vedette et ne s'est pas gênée de passer devant tous ses collègues pour le shooting du jour. #Macro #MacroMondays #PickTwo #MetallicBrush

Yellow Flower

My Dad gave me this set of highball cocktail glassware around 1980, after my parents returned from another trip to Japan. A beautiful set of five, never removed from the stylish box. The glasses are hand-painted with iridescent pastel colors. Total height of glass is 4-5/8” tall, with a shining gold rim. Total area shown in photo is just under 3” high. HMM

Macro Mondays theme.

Flower is a variety of hypericum (St Johns Wort). St Johns Wort Oil is used as a herbal remedy for depression. It cheers me up just looking at the flower.

I think the bug is a small, solitary, species of wasp. Maybe it's lonely and depressed !

Jagged stone for Macro Mondays: Pick two

I could probably also have chosen "delicate stone", as it's quite fragile.

This scene is just under 2.5" across.

Yellow flower, less than 3 inches overall.

Blue Paper

Iridescent glass

This is the outside of one of our quarter light windows that had been hit by something in the recent past. As it is toughened glass it has not just fallen to pieces but stays in position, possibly supported by the other pane of the double glazing.

My offering for this week's Macro Mondays subject Pick Two

In This case I have picked Damaged and Glass

What a fun Macro Mondays challenge! We had to take an adjective from List A (Iridescent, Fuzzy, Twisted, Damaged, or Speckled) and combine it with with a noun from List B (Glass, Toy, Candy, Plant, or Abstract). I hadn't been out exploring in my backyard in quite a long time, so I went searching. My mom planted what she calls a "fairy garden" in a copse of trees. Carpeting the ground were these extremely fuzzy and very soft plants called Lamb's Ears. It's a small plant, low to the ground, and the leaves are about 2.5 inches in length. The leaves really do feel like fur! It's amazing the treasure you can find when you stop to notice the details in your own backyard.

Macro Mondays - Redux 2019

I chose to redo the theme for January 21, Pick Two (Iridescent & Abstract). My wife and I went to a Christmas eve church service this past week. Instead of candles during the service, we had glow sticks. Our glow sticks happened to be in the Flickr colors, so I knew I should use them for the Macro Mondays theme somehow. I was tired after the service and almost didn't take the time to get some pictures of the glow sticks, but my wife encouraged me. I then spent the next nearly an hour bent over, shooting long exposure shots of the glow sticks, while moving them around. I think this is my first light painting experience. I will likely post some of the other shots in the future. HMM
