Pictures for Pam, Day 71: Birch Tree Catkins
(+3 insets)
Today it was raining when I got up and it's been coming down all day long without a break! Steve couldn't work on the deck which turned out to be perfect because we needed to do our weekly shopping anyway. We also had a mission to find a perfume bottle for my Macro Monday project I'll be working on this weekend!
We first went to a local dollar store because I figured I'd find some silly thing there I could use. Macro photography can turn any horrid thing into a masterpiece if you put your mind to it and I expected to find some choices there…or at least one thing. WRONG! We found fragrant soap, body wash, candles, some other stuff, but no bottles or containers of any kind! SHOCK!
Moving on, we decided to try a new hobby store that opened up in the past few months. I hadn't been inside yet so it was fun to look around. So much STUFF! Ooooooo, if I could wander around taking pictures I would have such FUN! However, the last time I tried that (YEARS ago) I was verbally spanked by staff for taking pictures of store products…"It's against store policy." I felt both annoyed and humiliated by being treated like a child molester because I had a camera in my hands and these days I would never dare such a thing unless I felt comfortable asking beforehand.
I'm happy to say that I hit the jackpot at the craft store! There were about a dozen choices and a few that weren't too expensive to justify for a photography project…$8.00 later I had my bottle, hooray!! It will be great fun to play around this weekend with various ideas! :)
Today's picture is again from our trip down to San Anselmo. Outside of Nathalie and Brian's home is a lovely birch tree that was covered with beautiful catkins. Oh my, it was a fun challenge to get proper dof for the ones in back to be in a pleasantly blurred focus! I have another one as an inset!
I am also sharing two other catkins that I've photographed in the past. Aren't catkins cool? They come in so many shapes and sizes! :)
Pam, I hope that you are doing ok today after yesterday's disappointing news. Needing to wait nine more months before a possibility for medical intervention is such a total bummer. I feel very sad and wish that I could do something more to help you right now. Please know that you're in my thoughts all the time my dear.
