What a busy week with appointments and intense work in the studio including one rough day when things were not working for me.
Aah, Saturday morning. Sleeping in a little. Dawdling over breakfast. Time to smell the roses or play with the camera again. A handy subject in the kitchen for deep study.

Hieno tutkielma, ja mitkä sävyt! Makrokuvauksen maailma on ihmeellinen.
Has anyone told you lately, Marja-Leena, how cool you are?
Taina, kiitos! Niin, makrokuvaus on ihana tapa nähdä mailma lähemmin. Ja sinäkin teet samoin, oikean kauniita kuvia blogissasi!
R, oh, you mean ‘cool as a cucumber’? 🙂 But this is a squash of the winter variety.
Isn’t it amazing how the nearer we get to something the more complex and miraculous it becomes? I love those shots and I hope you enjoy a relaxing Sunday too.
It’s a squash?
It looks like something in the process of fossilisation
Susan, yes, that’s what excites me, to see the extraordinary in the ordinary!
Mouse, not quite fossilized but starting to weep in a couple of bruises though you would not see it that well with the unassisted eye. Really must cook it up today though 🙂
Fascinating, I couldn’t see how the pictures fit the title until I got to the fourth one.
Hope you had a relaxing weekend!
Lucy, isn’t it amazing that if you just look at one spot out of context like this, we don’t recognize what it is? Dang, I meant to take more photos of the squash when it got cut open in preparation for cooking it for dinner last night, but I forgot!
Thanks, the weekend was good – gardening on Saturday afternoon, cards and candlelight Saturday evening for Earth Hour, and lazy the rest of it with a relaxing ‘light’ book for a change.
If one were the size of an ant I suppose a squash would be quite scary looking. These pictures are fascinating but make me a bit uneasy.
Anne, would it be the odd lumps in the stalk, or just the sense of impending rot that you find disturbing? I think I’m just attracted to the patterns and shapes that I discover through another lens not my own!
