Ceramic Beads

Ceramic Beads
I've been stuck indoors with a bad case of "man-flu" and so I haven't taken any photos for a while. Almost better now though!

Today I decided to have a play with my macro lens and photograph these lovely ceramic beads my wife found for me. Photographed in natural light on top of a sheet of dark coloured vinyl. I think this shows them at about 3 x life size.

trester88, Paolo Tanino, Fred Fouarge, Dimas Sequeira and 21 other people have particularly liked this photo

Man-flu, yes it’s probably a real thing or is it what I am told “It’s just the time of year”. Long term Vitamin D may help me a little but I have to admit to as many days ‘feeling poorly’ as well since November started. Get Well!

Keith Burton club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
I've had a flu jab..........so I expect it would have been worse if I hadn't and I take a vitamin D supplement in the winter. I'm pretty much OK now and have been out for an hour or so today.
