This little deal fell off of a local tree, it's soft and fuzzy and seems to have tiny seeds in it. It's about 2cm long and of course looks strange when we look up close!

A Magnolia Leaf
Mimi picked up a magnolia leaf and wanted me to shoot it. This is the result.

Yeast, Aluminum Packaging, Kitchen Table
The objects above are not teeth. They are dry baking yeast nubs, the kind that come in a little foil package. I didn't know what to expect when I shot them, and this is what I got! Weird world.
Below is a shot of the edge of the foil packet the yeast came in. Further below is a slightly wider shot of the same section of the yeast package.
Here we have a piece of our kitchen table, it's formica or something. If you look very close, there appear to be tiny threads within the white textured resin of this tabletop. I suppose this might be made in a process similar to fiberglass, whereby a fiber and resin mixture is molded and dried.

Popcorn!
 |
The bizarre and tiny world of popcorn. As I thought would be the case, popcorn's structure is cellular/bubbly, like foam. I thought it best to shoot macro/micro photos of popcorn before buttering.
The giant cave you see above is the edge of a popcorn shell inside a popped piece of corn. Don't look too closely, you might get it stuck in your tooth. Below are a few more shots of the strange textural landscape of a piece of popcorn.

Kosher Sea Salt
 |
We recently acquired some kosher sea salt, which upon inspection, appears pinkish, with dark red dots. So, I shot it.
I'm still not sure what the red chunks are made of. Perhaps earthen clay or some other organic material? They do sometimes have salt crystals growing in them, and off of them.
The pinkish cast of the salt can be explained by the little bits of that dark red material mixed in and on the individual salt crystals.

Creepy Doll Eye
 |
You know those dolls with the eyes that open and close? They're creepy right?
Here's a closeup of the eye of one. You can look deep into the empty cold soul of this doll if you stare long enough. But you must be brave. For she is also looking deeply into yours... Creeeeepy.

Christmas Fish Eyes
 |
A quick closeup of one of our Christmas ornaments. I took this while packing them away earlier this month. At normal size, it's a seafoam green sparkly christmas ball. I wanted to see what the sparkle was made of, and as you can see here, millions of tiny clear balls are adhered to the ornament. They look like bubbles or fish eyes, at this level of magnification.

Bell Pepper Seeds
 |
 |
Yet another set of photos that turned out better than I thought they would. I was originally just shooting the cut open pepper. And just out of curiosity, I got my macro lens out and started shooting the seeds. They turned out to be beautiful and strange and wonderfully textured.
