Washington DC, Saturday March 24, 2018. Hundreds of thousands gathered here today to protest the ever more frequent gun massacres that have sadly become one of the defining features of life in the USA over the past thirty years. The shootings have evolved into increasingly more deadly events because of the ease of obtaining semi-automatic rifles, high capacity ammo magazines and other weapons of war. Organizations like the National Rifle Associations have successfully bribed our national legislators to beat back most attempts to enact sane gun laws that would ban civilian sales of these military munitions. In the wake of the Parkland, Florida high school mass shooting a youth led movement* has become energized and is pushing back against the gun lobby status quo and, it has to be noted, against the entire immoral agenda of Trumpism and 21st Century Republicanism. President Trump spent today at his golf resort in Mar a Lago, Florida. Again.
*There has been an active black led movement against gun violence and other forms of vigilante and police violence in America for many decades but it has been ignored or unfairly reported on by corporate media and actively harassed by police wherever it appeared. The most recent example is the Black Lives Matter movement.
Guns on display at anti-Islam rally in Phoenix. Protesters brought plenty of firepower to a protest against Islamic terrorism and Islam itself on October 10. Police separated them a smaller group of counter-protesters. Held in front of the Islamic Community Center, the event was part of a broader "Global Rally for Humanity," with similar protests scheduled in other cities that day.

This is a single-frame, unstacked image, taken with an inexpensive 10X "finite" microscope objective lens.
Depth of field is only about 11 microns, which is .00043 inches. Yikes. Stacked images made with this lens require the subject to be precisely moved between frames in increments of less than a half-thousandth of an inch!

Another three-shot HDR.
I found this little scene as-is (almost). All I did was move one leaf that was covering the head of the shell.
