Nice close-up on that blossom, North Star. The white petals seem smooth and bubbly.
Thanks. Here are two more:Quote:

It is amazing how much detail one can get with photographs. One might be able to see the flowers better with a photograph than with the eye. Of course one is restricted to what one is focusing on.
Here's a picture I took to record my weight. The goal is 170 pounds and once I actually saw it at 167 pounds, but I didn't think of trying to get some evidence. Here I'm at 171 pounds.

Since one would be looking at the photograph with the same eyes used to look at the flower, probably not. :)Quote:

I didn't realise Calidore, like YesNo, is also from Chicago. I still have not uploaded my picture of a young pine tree, though I do have a photobucket account. I'll get round to it eventually. Meanwhile I hope to write a couple of book reviews: it is odd how that sub-forum is so little used! Not one published since my post there in November 2014….
I was hoping to assign that extra pound to the ballast account. When I took the picture I thought the scale read 170 pounds, but upon blowing it up, it was 171. My eyes need a bit of fine tuning as well.Quote:

Take off your socks. They might weigh half a pound.Quote:

Maybe also get a haircut (if applicable).
