Dried flowers, for the "Smile on Saturday" theme; "Get nature in your home".
The heads of these tiny flowers are so small that they are immeasurable. HSoS!
These tiny dried flower heads are trapped inside of a large canning jar, along with a bird on a nest. It's a cute display, but rather hard to get a decent shot of. Since I live in rural Alaska - our days are dark, and temperatures have been running between twenty and thirty below zero for almost a month. Not exactly the weather for growing house plants - or even keeping them alive.
After we left Twillingate we made our way SE for about 2 hours toward Bonavista. It too is a coastal town and another place we would find icebergs. Along the way there were many opportunities for a photo such as this one. Just one of many places where fishing boats would moor only to later take there lobster traps out looking to fill them with their own treasures.
Some precious memories of sunnier days not so long ago,
taken on the same day as the previous one.

The Battle of Halbe (German: Kessel von Halbe, Russian: Хальбский котёл, Halbe pocket) lasted from April 24 – May 1, 1945[1] was a battle in which the German Ninth Army, under the command of Generaloberst Theodor Busse, was destroyed as a fighting force by the Red Army during the Battle for Berlin[citation needed].
The Ninth Army, trapped in a large pocket in the Spree Forest region south-east of Berlin, attempted to break out of the pocket westwards through the village of Halbe and the pine forests south of Berlin to link up with the German Twelfth Army commanded by General Walther Wenck with the intention of heading west and surrendering to the Western Allies. To do this the Ninth Army had to fight their way through three lines of Soviet troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front under the command of Marshal Ivan Konev, while at the same time units of the 1st Belorussian Front, under the command of Marshal Georgy Zhukov, attacked the German rearguard from the north east.
After very heavy fighting about 30,000 German soldiers—one fifth of those trapped in the pocket—managed to reach the comparative safety of the Twelfth Army's front lines. The rest were either killed or captured by the Soviets.

This seemingly idyllic scene is a deceptive punch to the senses. A luxurious bedroom opens up to an impossibly perfect garden, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers bathed in soft sunlight. It looks like a dream, but it's too good to be true. This setup screams of an illusion, a trap designed to lure you into a false sense of security. The pristine beauty of the garden contrasts sharply with the underlying sense of unease, as if the paradise outside is just a facade hiding something dark and sinister. This piece reflects the bitter truth that what looks like heaven can often be a carefully constructed lie, masking the harsh realities of life. It's a clever reminder of how easily we can be seduced by appearances, only to find ourselves trapped in a nightmare we never saw coming.

For Macro Mondays this week I thought an image representing the struggle of the Ukrainian people would be acceptable.
Poor smiley although still smiling is trapped and hurt engulfed in an iron curtain.
Poor Ukrainians!
Bombed, battered, but still fighting for their survival surrounded by large tanks and soldiers from Russian aggressors .... 🔥🆘📢🔫💣😢
"Oh! for heaven's sake go home and leave the innocent children and people of Ukraine alone!!!!!!"
Love & Peace everyone!

I have used a little bouncing smiley super-ball toy to create this image!
I used some blue round stickers adding this colour scheme to enhance the Ukrainian flag colours contrasting with yellow.
I sawed a piece from smiley, from his head, then used a piece of metal wire mesh around him ensuring a point of the mesh entered through his head area.
I then placed him inside a blue bucket of the correct colour and took some macro images.
The yellow smiley super-ball is small only one inch in diameter so therefore falls within the three inch maximum size requirements for Macro Mondays!
This flower and praying mantis are just outside my office window. I have a front row seat to watch as this mantis snatches skipper butterflies all day long. You can see how much damage it has caused to the flower. It is a hunting, eating machine.

Inside "Captured Nebula" by Gamma Infinity
Currently shown at Art Unbound: Space Walk Pop-Up Exhibition for a limited time...so get captured! Opening is set Saturday March 13th @ 12pm SLT.
The sculpture depicts a nebula captured in time, frozen in a moment of its eternal dance of gravity and energy. The colors range from green, pink, orange, yellow reflecting the interplay of gases and dust particles that make up the nebula. The sculpture is designed to be viewed from different angles, and the interplay of light and shadow adds a sense of depth and movement to the piece.
The Captured Nebula sculpture is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the universe we live in, and a reminder of the infinite possibilities that exist beyond our world. It is a unique and captivating work of art that will inspire and delight anyone who loves astronomy, space exploration, or simply appreciates the beauty of the cosmos. - Gamma Infinity

Adenanthos is a genus of Australian native shrubs in the family Proteaceae. Its centre of diversity is southwest Western Australia. Adenanthos obovatus is commonly known as basket flower or jugflower. Each flower consists of four united tepals and a single style. In the earlier flowering stage both the style-end and the anthers are trapped within the perianth tube, so that when the anthers release their pollen, the pollen adheres to the style-end. Shortly after pollen release, the tips of the tepals separate, causing the tube to break apart. When the style-end is released, the style springs erect, and the flower's pollen is thus held on the style-end from where it may be deposited on the face of pollinators like honeyeaters which can access the nectar with their long curved bills. The apex of the style, called the stigma in most flowering plants, is often referred to as the style-end in Proteaceae, since it performs two distinct functions: it performs the usual stigmatic role of pollen-collector, but also functions as a pollen-presenter. I was quite surprised to learn that.
