.. I wanted my original image to be there. I don't like it as much cropped. My bad though, should have measured before I posted it on Macro Mondays.
One of the many interesting shops, selling their wares, in the Byward Market, downtown Ottawa. Happy weekend my friends =)
I have always wondered about the typical tiny and useless handles on maple syrup bottles.
"The internet's favorite answer is that the handles are a remnant from when most jars were large earthenware containers. The handle's useful when you're carrying five pounds of liquid, but not so much when you can easily grab the whole bottle in the palm of your hand.
Nowadays, through the magic of marketing and nostalgia, tiny handles = real maple syrup to all of us, and companies keep putitng them on the bottle.
The tiny handle is an example of a skeuomorph, which is not only a fun word to say, but a really neat little piece of vocab. "
We have a favorite pancake recipe that we use that can be found on allrecipes.com allrecipes.com/recipe/162760/fluffy-pancakes/. Sunday mornings are always a leisurely time with a big breakfast. My husband and daughter made a double batch of these pancakes this morning and were very patient with me while a grabbed a few quick compositions. We also had scrambled eggs, and roasted veggies too. Enjoy your day!
Syrup is a popular drink that has been consumed for centuries. Its history dates back to ancient times, when it was used as a sweetener and medicine.
Steam rises from huge wood-fired pans of boiling sugar-maple sap behind Ronnie Moyers, owner of Laurel Fork Sapsuckers, a sugar camp in Highland County, Va., near the West Virginia state line. Moyers and his family tap more than 1,400 sugar maples each year; each 60 gallons of syrup collected yields but one gallon of maple syrup. ©2021 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com

I made the syrup (jam that didn't gel), as well as, the label and the background.

"These are the things I learned: share everything, play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap every afternoon, and, when you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together."

Here's wishing you and yours a safe and joyous holiday season. What better way to welcome in the New Year with art created by corn syrup! ;)
The Bradley family settled on Lake Ontario in Clarkson in the early 1800s. It is now a public museum. Their estate was in the middle of a maple grove, so one of the things the family produced was maple syrup. These pails, on the outside wall of the barn, are probably newer ones (no rusty holes) and the public is invited to tap syrup in the spring, To me, the pails look like art installation, especially with the shadows and contrast with rough wood planks.

Quebec produces 90% of Canada’s maple syrup and nearly 72% of maple syrup production worldwide.
After securing our donuts in the town of Monterey Virginia we headed out into the beautiful countryside of Highland County looking for the Maple Sugar shack that we had visited almost one year ago to the day and were happy to find it. There are quite a few of these Maple Sugar making shacks around the county and many are open during the Maple Fest for visiting. These two gentleman are the same two men that were there last year. So knowledgeable in the process of making maple syrup they generally took turns talking to visitors and explaining the cooking down process but just this one time I was able to snap a shot with both of them in it. I think the one in the background with the purple hat looks like Compo on the "Last of the Summer Wine" a British Sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010. It's very dark in the shed and the only heat is from the fires used to boil down the sap. Unfortunately for us, but happily for them, they had already sold all their Maple Syrup.
For "Our Daily Challenge ... sticky"
I know this doesn't look that sticky but as it is golden syrup running on a DVD in the sunshine, it is very sticky. I got the idea for these shots from KittyW who has a number of amazing ones in her photostream. Thanks Kitty.

My favourite breakfast on a cold, winter's day is porridge with golden syrup poured on top!

Four years ago during a very cold spell I set up the tripod just outside my front door and photographed some frozen bubbles on the porch railing. It's kind of amazing to see the crystal shapes forming, gliding across the surface of the bubble and then freezing. For the most part I photographed entire bubbles, but I did get closer with the macro lens to go fully into pattern and abstraction. Beauty for its own sake. It's a worthwhile pursuit: it feeds the heart as well as the mind.
I wouldn't recommend using f/36 under most circumstances, but focusing very closely with a 105mm macro + 1.7x teleconverter meant extremely shallow DOF - a few mm at most. And of course I was working with a curved, not flat, surface. So... I was willing to put up with a slight loss of sharpness for the extra depth of field.
This shot begins a new image set: four photos of ice in winter. To be followed by revisiting my years on the coast of Vancouver Island, where water flows year round.

I think there has been a shelf of old bottles just like this, in almost every living history museum I have visited in the Maritimes and each and every single time I am compelled to take at least one shot of them. Definitely one of my favourite subjects to capture.
FYI, I have no idea what Norm Syrup is or does, maybe it's a Canadian thing??
For 'Thursday monochrome (Donnerstagsmonochrom)' Group,
and for Elisa Liddell!

Having seen what I thought was a maple syrup bottle in Elisa's submission to the Group I went looking and found at least something similar.
Plonked it on my table-top, fixed a background, shone a desk light, grabbed my 'point & shoot' camera and took just the one photograph of the neck of the bottle.
Just a little post-processing to get rid of a mark on the bottle and a bit of the dust, and this is the result.
