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.

A Green Spongy Foam Forest

While this looks like an overgrown lichen or bizarre moss, it is actually squishy green packing foam. I yanked a piece from one of the boxes while packing away Christmas ornaments.

I was most intrigued by the prismatic rainbows sparkling in the thinnest membranes of the foam. We've looked at foam before here, and it too was full of rainbows.

I like how this one looks like an alien forest, and am happy to add it to my collection of alien forests,  farms, and seed pods.

Squishy Foam!

This is foam, close-up; the soft stuff used to protect fragile things. I use this as padding for one of my lenses in a small hard case. It looks grey when viewed with your eyes. At this level of magnification, we see the beautiful little prismatic bubbles that make up the structure of the foam. Cool!
