On Wednesdays all over the internet bloggers post a photo with no words to explain it. The idea is the photo says so much it doesn’t need a description.

Your eye and new lens are finding the most wonderful details. I like how the colors and textures are highlighted. I hope packing is going well!

Thank you, Janet … as always, your feedback helps my busy mind sort out ‘why’ I love to take pics! I’m doing OK with the packing … so exciting to be moving soon … finally!

It keeps the analytical part of my brain happy to figure out what it is in a photograph that makes that happy “zing” of a response happen. And then that same brain tendency doesn’t drive me crazy trying to analyze every thing and every one around me. Gotta work with what you got to stay sane!

Intriguing, Cheryl. I like the depth of field you’ve chosen, which brings the deer(?) into focus. I have NO idea what this might be (and I’m not peeking at others’ comments or yours) … perhaps some sort of cap for something. I thought at first a detail on a cane, but the background piece doesn’t seem right for that. It’s hard to judge the size of the object. Anyway, lovely details, and differences in texture between the head, the antlers, and the piece behind.

Thanks Allyson. I was getting familiar with a new-to-me macro lens. It’s the weighted top of a cantilevered candle snuffer.

It is lovely. I especially like the burnished look of the whole thing and the contrast between the high focus of the deer and the shimmering blurriness of the rest of it

Thanks, Elizabeth. I’m training my eye to pinpoint the focal point with this new-to-me macro lens. I’ve wanted one for soooooo long.

A pewter reindeer? Lovely.

Heavier than pewter … not sure what the metal composition is, Carole, but weighty enough to always lever toward the flame regardless how tight the reach to put it out!

Fantastic piece of art…great photo-but I would never have thought it was a candle snuffer! 🙂

I love the colour and the finish. Could it be a bell? To call deer? Or merely to call dear ones to dinner… I agree, Barbara, I think she’s making merry with optical illusions as she packs up her treasures. (:

Yup … packing up my treasures and guffawing over your antics, Carin. This is a cantilevered candle snuffer (say that three times fast) … simply meaning it’s hinged, and I don’t break my wrist putting out the candles!

What a nice surprise! This is in composition very like an ancient Etruscan piece of sculpture that I’ve seen pictures of … but on closer inspection I think this must be part of a “bottle” of some sort, maybe pewter? Again though Cheryl, perhaps you are bamboozling us with the “size of things”??? Intriguing!

Still messing around with the new-to-me macro lens … this is a cantilevered candle snuffer, a gift from my stepdaughter when I bought my first little cottage on piers on an island on same lake we are building on now.
