Parked along some road.
Ooops - I honestly don't recall where I got that snap... - and whatever is readable in the background didn't help either.
So, this is not put onto the map.

These are Proxabrush refills stuck into a styrofoam base. It reminded me of an aerial view of a forest in winter.
Done for Macro Mondays: "My Closest" theme
"The challenge will be to get as close as you possibly can and to include a visible indication of size by placing your subject on/by a ruler, grid or graph paper," according to the theme description.

Three Styrofoam balls and a cube all in white! I put one in the total frame of it which was over six inches all framed so cropped it down.

(*) Xingguang Photographic Equipment City, 星光摄影器材城, located at Luban Road (鲁班路) between Nantangbang Road (南塘浜路) and Xietu Road (斜土路) is the place to go if you are in need of photographic equipment or servicing. It is basically a specialized shopping mall for photo geeks.
The place features all types of equipment and brands, from "amateur" to "pro" including studio stuff and well sorted second hand stores.
Only problem: to get really good prices you must know your limits / local average retail prices / home prices and speak Chinese...
In case you go "just for looking" plan an hour at least to browse through the offerings.

Was walking through the Columbus Antique Mall on Saturday and saw this old milk bottle filled with styrofoam pellets. Couldn't resist the shot.
I love white on white! Old styrofoam head with white lace.

Has the shape of glitter changed over the past sixty years? This looks bigger. Could be my imagination!!!
The red mason bee (Osmia bicornis; rosse metselbij (Dutch)) is an efficient pollinator. Just a few hundred O. bicornis can pollinate an orchard as well as thousands of honeybees.
The scientific name O. bicornis means 'two-horned'. This refers to the tiny projections on the female’s face — used to help manipulate mud while nest-building. These 'horns' can be seen well in the photo.

The Case of Excessive Wasp Bling. OK, there is something about metallic insects that is so attractively unsubtle. Even though I have several other pictures of Chrysidid wasps like this one, I can't help but have another taken. So, there you go. Ponder while reveling in all this metallic armor, why be so conspicuous if your m.o. is to invade other wasp and bee nests? At least to humans. Perhaps it is just a thumbed nose, a statement of obvious inedibility. Photo by Anders Croft. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

Well, this is the first night I have even had time to upload the next photo of the tree! The play began tonight, and since I am official photographer for the show, I have been very busy!
So, here is the tree, painted, and with one little branch of leaves installed. Funny looking!
It took three days to paint the tree. There was a LOT of surface area!
I will put on the final photo of the tree with all its leaves, soon. Unfortunately they wouldn't let me make the tree much taller. I had to make the top of the leaves flat across, instead of building them up in a crown, because otherwise the tree would hide "God", when he came out on his platform behind the tree. So, it ended up looking a bit strange, but... Oh well, I have accepted it by now!
I am looking forward to having my life back again, and working as admin of my group again, and commenting on all your pics again!
Once more, thank you for your patience and friendship!
A very small section of an installation piece at the MFA by Tara Donovan. Cloud like clusters of styrofoam cups measuring 20 feet wide and 6 feet deep suspended from the ceiling in the Contemporary Art Linde Family Wing.
Mostly tree leaves and branches. Logs and Styrofoam.

Hello dear friends,
I am buried in another project for my theater group. They want a tree. I TOLD them to let me know in January if they wanted something, but they didn't tell me until the beginning of April.
So, I work on this all day or until I physically collapse. Then I try to catch up on some of the things I have neglected because of the tree.
So, I am going to suspend commenting on all your wonderful photos until this is all done. The show starts May 6, and then I become photographer. I may hold off commenting until the show is all over and I have all the photos sorted and posted online for the cast.
However, I promise to LOOK at all your photos! So, please know that I am at least admiring your work... but silently!
