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 !

Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Pick Two'. Week 26/2020.

This was in my garden and taken in natural light and the breeze. It's cropped to 16x9 but otherwise straight out of the camera.

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

The Macro Mondays group is looking at Pick Two today.

I chose "delicate" from List A and "brush" from List B

This is a number six watercolour brush.

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.

The last 9 months have been a little bit crazy and I've gotten away from doing things I enjoy doing for myself. This weekend I returned to teaching myself how to do some simple water coloring by buying some tubes of paint and a book that will teach me step by step. First lesson complete and enjoyed. It's nothing I plan on sharing with anyone just something to do for my own well being. Getting back to participating in Macro Mondays is a goal too. I believe this is my first post of this year. HMM!

#MacroMondays #PickTwo ... a possibility

This may be the most obscure (and most definitely the most blue) of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. I’ll probably put them all up and then dither

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.

This weeks Macro Mondays effort brings us a donkey. That is wonky. 'Damaged' from list A, 'Toy' from list B. Looking forward to lots of variety this week. Anyhoo, HMM y'all!

Taken for group 'Macro Monday' 21st January 2019, theme 'Pick Two'. This is Twisted Glass.

This is a wine glass with a twisted stem. It's taken through the mouth of the glass showing the top of the stem. To get the red colour the glass is loosely wrapped in red cellophane. The creamy white is where there's no cellophane.

#Speckled Toy

Matryoshka Toys (Russian: матрёшка, IPA: [mɐˈtrʲɵʂkə] (About this soundlisten)), also known as Russian nesting dolls, stacking dolls, or Russian dolls, are the set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. The name "matryoshka" (матрёшка), literally "little matron", is a diminutive form of Russian female first name "Matryona" (Матрёна) or "Matriosha".

A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure, which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on.

I chose Striped and Stone for this week's challenge.
