Alive and well and growing.
Locally grown non-native.
My husband's world. Shot wide open with the Laowa lens almost touching the toroid.
"Toroidal inductors and transformers are inductors and transformers which use magnetic cores with a toroidal (ring or donut) shape. They are passive electronic components, consisting of a circular ring or donut shaped magnetic core of ferromagnetic material such as laminated iron, iron powder, or ferrite, around which wire is wound."

This began as a black and white macro for Macro Mondays, my favorite/favourite group. But with the red light adding to the copper hue, I decided just to load this macro.
Thanks for looking
Made by my artistic sibling years ago. The focal point is a tiny silver sand dollar that measures half a centimeter or 0.2 inches. Aperture about f/5.
Wanted to avoid blowing highlights and still pick up some reflections from the black surface.
Dust free Socket!
Enough with the marketing-style exclamation marks. But my dear husband did find this rather vintage VGA socket on one end of an adaptor in his office in the #original packaging#.
I loathe shooting dust, especially with this 2X magnification lens. I dusted off the plastic and then focused on it for this bizarre look.
NB. MM admins: If packaging is not allowed, I understand.
No highlights were blown.
Celebrating the first day that feels like spring, even though I prefer winter. Sun with no wind this morning.
...in morning sun!
Slight crop only. Blossom about 3.39 cm/1.33 inches.

This is an old color/colour tool I used when designing websites. We have snow remaining on the ground and chilly wind from the north. Need to play!
About f/5.6

Or lichen, perhaps. Approximately 2 cm/0.79 inches across. The tiny insect wasn't visible to my very close-sighted eye until I viewed through the LiveView monitor. Can you see it?
Aperture about f/8.

A gift from my sister long ago who traded something for it.

the mood changes. These small inexpensive VIJIM VL120 RGB Video Lights change from RGB, HSI/CCT, to 2500-9000K LED 3100mAh Rechargeable DSLR lights. And presto, I just kept shooting. The red wire disappeared. (The dust spots remained on these rather protected wires.)
As shot with slight crop, again.
'I've come to believe that it’s worth getting to know your fearful mind... it’s never going to leave you. You can’t evict it. It’s more or less hardwired into your psyche and will accompany you onto every stage you set foot on, into every job interview you go to, and every new relationship you enter into. It’s there, and it’s not going to shut up.'

Approximately 2.5 cm/ .98 inches across
As shot. Slight crop.

From my maternal grandmother's sewing box.
3cm/1.18 inches across the frame. The Laowa 60mm lens magnifies by two, so that this appears larger than it measures. Measurement in first comment.
Or, what to do during a bomb cyclone. We lucked out and dodged the storm by about ten miles as the crow flies. Very lucky.
Three beads. So tiny, each almost impossible to align.
(The Laowa lens magnifies by two.)
We dodged the cyclone bomb by about 10 miles. A foretelling of future storms to come!
Wee spring onion, about 4cm across/1.57 inches across horizontally.
These spring onions certainly left an oniony smell in my office! Phew... And such tiny things, too!
About 5cm across entire frame / 1.97 inches across frame.
In January 2022 I asked a Flickr support hero to remove my accounts from the Explore algorithm. Peace.
Wish I had taken botany and photomicrography, as my sister did. This is the interior of a small Alstroemeria non-native cut flower. It has freckles on the petals and arrived here green. Then gradually turned yellow-gold.
Have no idea how that drop happened. Weeping for our country, perhaps.
The Laowa 60mm f/2.8 magnifies by two, and I could focus approximately 1/2 inch/ 0.27 cm from the stigma.
See demo in first comment.
Inspired by Macro Mondays. A Dutch angle: spirit level, bubble level, or simply a level, is an instrument designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb).

Spirit levels indicate if a surface is level
Purchased long ago for photography.
Experimenting. About 2cm/0.79 inches across. (My Laowa 60mm magnifies by two.)
My spouse took apart another watch. Couldn't pass up the chance to play in black and white.
