Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Close ups or macro
…photos needs to be black and white, desaturated, sepia (brown tones) or selective color.
~~~
I rescued this acorn during a macro photo shoot sometime last year. I spied it lying among its fellow acorns…which were scattered in heaps on the ground – most capless – or broken all together. Random caps everywhere. Crunched underfoot by humans like me. Somehow one had remained unscathed.
I brought the survivor home, where it has been resting safely and comfortably on my bookshelf ever since.
Today it was time for some fresh air, as I was inspired by Cee’s challenge this week.
I’m happy to report it didn’t fall off the railing of my tiny deck and get lost in the grass 2 floors below. If it had, one of the hundreds (well maybe not hundreds, but close…) of squirrels would surely have snatched it away before I made it down the stairs for a rescue.
Very nice shot! I think that find would have made it home with me too, very unusual!

Thank you Irene – I look forward to jumping back in to your macro challenge when/if you start it up again (hopefully I haven’t missed it!). It’s always fun to see what all of us “macro-ers” are up to 🙂
