These are acorns, I swear. Mimi and Violet found them at the park and wanted me to shoot them. So I did.

Just a Couple of Buds
 |
I've recently found that I have several closeted Morning Macro visitors... friends who had, until we got together recently, never expressed any interest in the photo explorations posted here. So to all my vocal and non-vocal visitors, thanks! Let me know what you like, don't like, want to see more of, are curious about, or have ideas about. Considering that it would take about twelve of my highest-magnification macro/micro photos just to view an entire postage stamp, there is a lot of world out there that we can explore through these pictures.
These two photos are flower buds. The one above was about the diameter of a matchstick, the one below about the size of your average marble. I like how very different the two are.

Soda Bubbles, and How They Attach to the Glass
 |
I was asked why the water bubbles in my previous post aren't flat on one side where they are attached to the side of the glass.
The bubbles you see above were photographed in a glass of Sprite; sugary carbonated beverage. I shot a bunch of photos of these bubbles, which were larger than the ones available in a glass of water. Only one-ish of the photos was focused in a way that shows the pad of bubble attached to the side of the glass. I'm guessing that it's a hard thing to get spot on focus with since I've seen it so rarely.
Clearly, you can see that these bubbles are not merely half spheres hanging out in there. Rather, they are complete spheres with a little bit attached to the glass, holding it in place. And the attachment is not simply flat, but kind of veiny and weird. Perhaps that structure is what creates a sort of suction that holds the bubble in place.

Goodbye Christmas
 |
Putting away Christmas decorations, I took a couple parting shots of details on our items. These are the tiny clear beads which are adhered to the side of a wax pine tree candle to make it shimmer.

Rising Sun
 |
A more abstract image of the pine needles against the blur of background christmas twinkly light. This one reminds me of the Japanese flag, and the poster for the movie Empire of the Sun. I've not experimented with the more two-dimensionally abstract side of macro photography before and think I should, after playing around a bit with images like this.
