Macro Thursday

in #macrothursday5 years ago (edited)


Today is #MacroThursday by @HomeArtPictures! Let's pull out some glorious macro and get up close and personal!



Using my memory rolledex, I am walking along the beach; the unusual look of seaweed captivates me. Grabbing it straight from the ocean, we would pop them like bubble wrap. We would collect pieces of it and use it for our seafood dinners. Now, I even eat it. Who knew back then? Have you had your seaweed today?



Let the light in
Reflected from a greater source
Reach for the moon, hang on to the stars
But always remember your roots

Advice from my tree



So I stumble into
Not the admission but
The fascination I have with
You
You
You



I need a flower. Or three. Always a flower.




¸.♥´¸.•♥¨) Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul

(¸.•´♥ (¸.•´ ♥




Or maybe this is my season
Perchance
Leaving the irrational longing behind
Flirting with spring instead

Don't ever forget what wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.


Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,

"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"

Oh, how I love spring blossoms, they are so special in and of themselves, unlike any other season. Great selections Denise.

I couldn't agree with you more! There is just something so redeeming, so soothing oh, so very beautiful about spring and the newness of it. The flowers are just a gentle reminder of how beautiful life can be.

Thank you always for stopping by and leaving your lovely words.

Oh you actually made the seaweed look yummy! I really like the blossoms on the tree and the pussywillow! I eat seaweed all the time...well kind of...Nori - it is really algae that they wrap sushi with :) I love that prose and am happy you have started including it more often ;)

I almost missed this! You posted on #MarketFriday! Oh! You know all else is shelved then. :))

Thank you! The seaweed was up on the beach, so that is a no bueno. We don't know what kind of nasty pollution it dredged up with it. I guess I consider Nori as seaweed, sort of. That is my final answer on that.

The prose is just words. Some days they spill out and other times, well, they are hard to come by.

Thanks for coming by!

Actually, I would be careful eating seaweed now. It was once a kind of comfort food for me as a child but I was very sad to see this message on many packages of food recently in the store: "WARNING This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm."

I'm almost certain it is the seaweed that is triggering the warning but please let me know if you know more about it. My mom always told me never to eat seaweed you found on the beach too. There are many different varieties and some of the them are naturally toxic, and there is the issue of pollution.

But I still eat it once in a while, it is hard to resist those sushi rolls and other treats, plus it seems like California is very cautious about these types of things.

I never eat it off the beach - ever. It has not been sanitized in any way. I used to eat it as a kid too! We used it in all of our seafood we caught. It is very hard to resist!!

Kombu or the Laminaria named ones always seem to draw concern for the iodine toxicity. That may possibly be the kind you are seeing? Carrageenan, which is used in some products has been known to cause gastrointestinal inflamation. (It is a well-known thickening agent in organic foods)

And of course, the pollution factor in our oceans. So, I limit my intake, whereas we used to eat it on a regular basis. On a brighter note, seaweed that is eaten in combination with vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and soya, inhibit iodine uptake by the thyroid gland. Which happens to be the biggest deal.

Does that help? @lightsplasher

Thanks for the detailed answer. It is still a bit of mystery to me. It seems like I have seen the warning on things imported from Japan or Korea with any seaweed in them. Perhaps there is some other issue - it is tough to know what things are good to eat sometimes. I just thought I would chime in mostly just in case someone out there started self harvesting seaweed off the beach.

I really think it is the iodine and the pollution, so you can only eat so much or be at risk for heavy metal poisoning or thyroid.

Good thinking about the seaweed on the beach. It never occurred to me, but you are right. Thank you for that.

Gorgeous photos - nobody does flowers better than you! How did I not know about this challenge... maybe I used to know but forgot, but now I'm going to try to remember for next week. I'll be back in a while to resteem this post! :-)

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the awesome words. There you go trying to make me blush again. I appreciate your words but oh my God I have seen your flowers so don't even go there! Thank you so much for coming and visiting my post and yes! I hope you do remember for next week and if you don't I will certainly tap you on the shoulder to remind you. I don't always join the challenges because sometimes I just don't have the pictures, but I always say the more the merrier!

Seaweed ... yuckie

Come on now, Mike! When was the last time you tried it? On the other hand, I think it's an acquired taste.

Try it! You may like it!!
