My brass knocker on the front door.
I had it 2 years before I dared put it out.
Someone is certain to try to steal it, but the screws do go right through the door!
A little still life that I came across in a dry riverbed in Zion National park.

Alternate shot for Macro Monday "Abstract Macro" challenge.
Subject
Dry open pinecone.
Lens
Cosmicar 28mm f2.8 reverse-mounted onto a ProSpec 135mm 2.8. Both lenses have manual aperture control in addition to supporting in-body aperture control. As the lenses have different filter thread sizes, I used a 49mm-52mm male-to-male coupler.
Lighting
Light by a Pentax AF540FGZ in the same plane as the lens, about 70 degrees clockwise around the subject. It is connected using my DIY RJ45 PTTL cable extender.
These pinecones are sitting in a basket at my house. Upon closer inspection, I found one had a little fuzzy (not a spider!).
This ginger lily puts up beautiful flowering cones in the fall here in Florida. I cut these two and put them in a vase in my kitchen.
It's often called "pinecone ginger" because of the shape of these flower cones. The cones also smell a bit like pine trees if you squeeze them.

I don't know if these are pinecones or some type of precursor flower, but in all the years, I've never seen such an abundant growth of these on the pine trees that I pass on my lunch time walk. Perhaps it's another artifact of the early spring this year. May 01, 2012 L1200372.dng
