Macro Monday – a bit of a cheat
Posted on September 19, 2011 in The Home Front by Jay14 Comments »

Well … I’ve been very busy all day, what with one thing and another, and suddenly I realised that it was Macro Monday tomorrow! What to do? The light in this house is a bit dim for photography in the evening and I really didn’t want to get the lights and lightbox out.

Inspiration struck, and here you see the result!

It’s a bit of a cheat, because I took this picture with what I had to hand. I think it’s a very easy puzzle, but what do I know? If you think so too, please do leave a comment with your answer!

Clues? Even though it’s the easiest, peasiest puzzle I’ve ever given you? Oh well, alright then.

I’ve seen these all over the place. Home, work, school, shops, in the street, on the river (or in it, as it might be), and in every single country I’ve been in. They’re useful at times, a luxury for most, and some think they’re a damned nuisance and ought to be banned.

So, leave your guess, and pop back on Tuesday evening (UK time), and see if you were right. I bet most of you are! I’m not going to be around on Tuesday evening, so I’m going to schedule a post to give you the answer at the usual time Fingers crossed that it works!

    Easy? Well, I’d have to go with water droplets on a window, or a bottle of soap/shampoo. Hmmm….

    EASY?!?!?

    Oy vey!

    Okay, let’s see….

    …um, it looks like condensation on a bottle.

    GONG!

    Can’t wait to see what it really is.

    Hope all is well, Jay.

    (((( You ))))

    Have a great week…..X

    Hi there:
    1. Water droplets on a metal apple?
    2. The inside of your mouth after a night on cheap cider?

    Now I admit that neither of these really fit the clues – but you never know!

    I think this is from a deep square bowl with a color paper at the bottom and that bubble is an oil with water. ^_^ Happy Monday!

    All of my ideas are NOT ones which could be considered a luxury…I was thinking of a green wine bottle with air bubbles inside…Love the shot, and I think your blog is really neat. I will be back, and thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting on Mr. Bug Eye. genie

    Loving WHAT EVER THIS IS! Surely your clue is a diversion. My stab in the dark is a lime spritzed with water????? :) Have a great week.

    I thought it was a plastic bottle but I can’t see that as a luxury for most. I have no other idea.

    This is not easy, lol! I think it’s taken from underneath as the drops don’t seem to be going anywhere. But it’s also slightly round and it’s light green and that little ‘v’ shape in the bottom left corner looks like some sort of symbol. Put everything together and I come up with …. nothing!
