I really struggle finding subjects for macro photography and I'm not sure if this genre of photography something I truly enjoy or not but it does get me to think different sometimes. It's challenging because we don't see things this close normally so you have to think outside the box.
For the Macro Monday challenge "Zed" (May 10th 2021)
The challenge is that the word you choose must include the letter Z.
Given the long freezing winter we have endured, it was maybe not surprising that I chose "froZen" and looked out the ice-cube tray!
This is a snail shell frozen in tonic water, which I hoped would give me lots of bubbles. It was a bit disappointing, as it was cloudy when frozen - but some of the cubes came out with 'holes' that looked like ice caverns. It was a fun way to spend a morning, chasing the shots before the ice cubes melted!
The ice cubes are about 4cmx3cm.
HMM!! and stay safe and well this week!

Macro Monday - Natural shells
I dusted some empty snail shells with fine gold powder then placed them in an oyster shell. HMM

Stay safe / Bleibt gesund.
Thank you for all your views, faves and comments.
A tiny snail shell on a patch of moss. The shell is about 13mm across. HMM and thank you to anyone that stops here to view, fave and write a comment.
A National gastronomic favourite (for some) of France. Snails in garlic butter, served with a good baguette.
Sorry I hadn't actually got any shells with some prepared snails in them too.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
There are not that many colors in the "2 Colorful" snail shell for the colorful SNAILICIOUS dish "2 Colorful"
:)

Не са чак толкова много цветовете в охлювната черупка "Много цветен" за цветното SNAILICIOUS ястие "Много цветен"

Evolving shapes and forms of the SNAILICIOUS-themed dishes. From easy-to-cook snails -> into SNAILICIOUS snail units

Трансформиращи се форми на тематичните SNAILICIOUS ястия. От лесни за готвене охлюви -> в SNAILICIOUS охлювни единици
Another vacancy and that for many years. Lies on my softwood chest of drawers and collects dust. Got a crack as a result of carelessness. But when I look closer at the snail shell, it still moves me just as it did the day I found it.
Life is like a spiral of good and bad experiences.
You are never static.
You are either moving up or down the spiral.
The choice of direction is yours.
