Baino – I don’t know how you manage without it, but of course we all did, not so long ago! I try to buy recycled, but OH won’t have it. He wants the good stuff, so I leave him to choose these days.

Dutchbaby – You should have more faith in yourself! LOL! Well done for guessing correctly, anyway.

I instantly guessed paper towel but when I read the toilet paper and napkin guesses, I lost my confidence and decided they were right and I was wrong. I do this all the time. I’m way too suggestible when it comes to these puzzles. Your lens looks like a winner.

Ah in that case I can be forgiven. I don’t use paper towels so wouldn’t have a clue what their patterns look like up close. Nice one!

Sandy – Aah, cards for next year! I usually do that, but I haven’t been into town yet!

Dave – Thanks! Yes, I think I did!

EG Wow – You might think so, but when there’s a spill you don’t look at the pattern!

Maureen – Yes, macro lenses are pricey, but you should also check out the cost of the ring flash they need if you want to light something properly. Yikes!

LIsa’s Chaos – Yep, a paper towel! Isn’t life in close-up fun? Thank you! It’s always hard to get a full width object in proper focus, isn’t it?

Marvin – That’s what I liked about the subject. It reminded me of tiles, fabric, wallpaper, all kinds of things, and yet it’s so much tinier than most.

Geri – Hahaha! You are funny! You mean you really don’t have any kitchen towel in your house? LOL! It IS like a drain cover, too, isn’t it!! I hadn’t even thought of that.

Nope – have looked everywhere and don’t appear to have one of these in my house. *Gulp*… hope that doesn’t mean I’m uncivilized or something worse. It’s not a drain cover is it? I’ve got one of those(!) – just not as attractive.

Great macro. It does look like some mosaic tile work than a paper towel. Have fun with your new lens.

It’s a paper towel? I love how everything is in focus! Makes me think of snowflakes.

Very cool macro. We got daughter a nice camera for Christmas and she has two lenses so far; but macro lenses are expensive so perhaps for her birthday…

Awesome shot Jay!

Very clever! The paper towel is WAY too pretty to actually use.

Well unfortunately I looked at the answer before guessing – I was leaning toward a ceramic tile but the fact that you can see the blue through the white suggested something papery. Nice photograph – looks like you got a good lens for Christmas!
