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.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.

Fly Me to the Moon, or Right Into a Lightbulb, if You're a Moth

And here come the creepier crawlers!

Above is the face of a moth. This was a rather small moth, actually. A larger moth would have had a larger head with more "feathers" and bigger eyes. However, I am happy with this shot anyway, because it's pretty much in sharp focus. Which is hard for such a tiny thing.

In other tiny-things-in-sharp-focus news, below is some sort of fly on a leaf. Maybe I'll find it's actually a bee and have to correct it like my last post.

One interesting detail I noticed is the little fly feet. I guess I've never seen or noticed what fly feet look like. Take a look at them, they're two little claw things, and two sticky pads. This particular fly appears to be missing the claw/pads on its left middle leg.

Of Belly Buttons and Straw Hats

First of all, I wanted to enlighten my devoted audience as to who they are. Below are the top 10 web searches that send visitors to my site:

1.	worlds biggest belly button
2.	worlds largest belly button
3.	belly button fuzz
4.	adam saynuk
5.	biggest belly button in the world
6.	bubble ornaments
7.	largest belly button
8.	pieromainea
9.	the worlds biggest belly button
10.	world's biggest belly button

So, who knew there was such a huge demand for information about belly button size and the fuzz which such a belly button can collect? Should I be offended that "worlds biggest belly button," "worlds largest belly button," and "belly button fuzz" are more popular reasons to hit my photoblog than I am. And I'm a bit surprised that not one of my top ten popular keyword searches has anything to do with macro photos or photography at all!

FYI, this is the post these belly button fans find in their journey here.

The strange world of Google. Now, on to the macro photos, not that all you belly button-obsessed people care anyway.

Here are two photos of straw hats, up close and personal. One, Sarah likes, the other will be returned to the store from whence it came. Interesting how different their weaves are. One, shiny and smooth, the other rough and scratchy looking.
