head view of a woodlouse, curved insect for Macro Monday. Courtesy of my cat, who likes killing them and for once didn't eat this one. Could also fit the pick two rules with jagged or delicate perhaps instead of curved?
Shot with tripod, remote trigger and ringlight from above and daylight from the side. Cropped in Digikam and cleaned some muck in the background from my lens in Gimp.

Walking though the backyard I found a small branch on the ground that had fallen as the result of a windy evening. While the branch itself was "dead", rotted and fragile, the outside was covered in life. There were many different forms of lichen, micro-lichen, moss, algae and fungus - what I learned long ago as the "de-composers" of the forest - all on this one small foot-long piece limb.
This is a series of three different parts of that branch, 2 or 3 inches apart, but filled with different types of de-composers. While most of this 1 inch spot on the branch is covered in lichen, there appears to be a tall stalk of moss sticking upwards (it is probably 1/4 inch (6-7 mm) or so in size.
This image is the result of a 15 image stack of macro photo's taken and merged in Photo Shop. Two indoor 2700 lamps were placed on either side for lighting. Feel free to ZOOM IN on the image to see these magnificent structures up close; you may not have seen anything like this before!

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!

For this weeks theme I have picked damaged candy - this is a broken lolly which is about 1cm in diameter, its so damaged I might just have to eat it.
Anyway the lighting was provided by an old filament torch hope you enjoy - HMM

Pick Two theme for MACRO MONDAYS 01/21/19
This is near 1:1 macro. The depth of field (DOF) is 1.3mm, to focus the camera is moved with a macro rail.
Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.

I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is twisted branches of a trailing plant in a hanging basket.
HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Challenge 2019 #4 Theme: Pick Two.
My choice: Fuzzy Glass.
It's part of a price from a Volleyball competiteon ages ago....
HMM!
A Corgi Cooper-Maserati. As a kid this was one of my favourite toys.
It never worried me that the windscreen was broken on the left hand side. As I've grown older, I've become more obsessive about these kinds of damages.
From my backyard. The flowers start blooming at the bottom of the bloom stalk and work their way up. These are the last. This was the first:

Three shots taken at different focus points, then merged in Affinity Photo for iPad. Opening up the aperture brought too much of the background into focus, so by keeping the aperture fairly wide, but doing the focus merge, got the flowers in focus but kept the background out of focus.
Seashell and sisal sponge angle view flashed with UV Torch. Used Nikor telephoto and macro lenses, manual focus.
I was hoping to achieve iridescent effects with the lighting, but failed. Instead, I went in closer to highlight all the wear and tear on this marble. Managed to get the side light to hit slightly from behind to achieve the look. So to fulfil the Macro Monday brief, it is a 'damaged toy', or 'damaged glass'.
Sidelit with two spots, tripod mounted, remote shutter, 20mm extension tube, F5.6 with the standard 18-55mm Nikon lens. All other info should be in the metadata. No post processing, this is how it came out of the camera.

Macro Mondays theme januari 21th: Pick Two : Fuzzy - Toy
I found this little hedgehog in the cat-toy department of the pet-shop a while bag. It was looking at me and I just had to take it home. For the cat off-course :-)
I picked "Fuzzy - Toy" ... I know, I know, you knew I would. I also left some fuzzy cat hair on there for effect ... too much?
Slightly painted shot of a fuzzy Flamingo cat toy just 'cause I can't help myself ...
Happy MACRO MONDAYS! I reciprocate all comments and thanks!
Lithops sp. ("living stone") - unfortunately it has got too many moisture:-((( The full plant is less than 5 cm wide, those white hairs are mould.
No idea where this little truck came from but I've had it for years. It's a French breakdown truck but alas it has broken down. From it's missing light on top to the paint chips and missing tow cable it;s fair to say it has seen better days. Oh well, at least its condition meant it got to be showcased here :-) HMM!
