Featured on the Flickr blog in 2014 for the Flickr 10th Anniversary post (quite an honor !)

The breakfast might have been even better than this macro. But this did give me the idea for the next series of macros (marbles) . . .

UPDATE: this made the October 2023 "Explore Takeover"--which foregoes the usual Explore algorithm and invites submissions to be reviewed and considered by Flickr folks for a thematic, monthly Explore day. It's an honor for this photo to be selected for this month's "macro" theme . . . and rank near the top of the page at position 8! Wow, the highest rank I've ever had on Explore. Thanks Flickr! Always an honor.

As Flickr notes: "Today’s Explore takeover highlights the art of Macro photography! Check out this collection of amazing close-up shots." #Explore #Explored #FlickrExplore . . . And it was a bonus to be featured among the 17 photos in Flickr's gallery of Highlights from the Explore Takeover Macro theme.

I can't believe I ate (half of) the whole thing (note the 2 spoons). Shot outside an ice cream shack on Route 1A somewhere between Hampton Beach and Seabrook Beach, NH.

Eduardo Kobra's colorful mural on West 25th at 10th Ave. The paniting is based, of course, on the famous V-J Day kiss in Times Square photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Shot from the High Line.

I took a couple of strolls on the High Line on a blustery winter day during a recent trip to New York.

Spent Thanksgiving in Maine. The weather was beautiful and so was the beach, especially at low tide in the late afternoon November sun. And at sunset.
