When I read the Cosmic Photo Challenge: From Above prompt it was rather well timed.
I had recently been for a walk around the neighborhood with a camera and had picked up a pocket full of Pine cones from out of the snow. I had emptied my pocket onto the top of a kitchen cupboard to let the Pine cones dry out.
While on the walk I had spotted this Maple leaf trapped in some tracks in the snow. By the size of the tracks and the stride length either a large dog or a Coyote made the tracks.
To continue the From Above theme, while I had the camera set up above the kitchen cupboard I grabbed the nail brush from by the sink. The bristles make me think of bacteria through an electron microscope.

A nice juxtaposition of images and textures.
Thanks Dale. That was part of the plan. I was hoping I had a second from above from the walk but unfortunately not and I didn’t want to go to the archives.
Oh, you have snow!! Wonderful.
Yes, it’s stayed around for a couple of weeks now.
We never even had a flurry. 😦
Oh we had snow on the 1st November but until recently it had been snowing/thawing every few days. I don’t think that the snowmobile trails have been open around here yet.
Love this, David. All lovely and interesting. And yes – I didn’t recognize the last one as a nail brush. I wondered if it was a shot through the electron microscope!
I’m regretting not going in even closer to exclude the sides of the nail brush and just have the clumps of bristles.
Ah. It’s fine. I could second guess my photos forever if I let myself. My compromise is that if a posted photo REALLY bothers me then I go back into the post and charge it. If not, I leave it and let it inform future shots.
