100th Macro Monday

IMG_9995

Happy 100th Macro Monday! Thank you to each one of you helping to make it such a success! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had 100 participants this week?

IMG_9999

I have to confess, I did not count all these tiny ants – That thing they are eating on is an average black ant to give you some idea of how small these guys are. Amazingly tiny.

IMG_9998

I’m pretty sure there’s at least 100 there.  PS, I did count the ant eggs in the badge below, but I lost count so I’m not sure if there’s 98 or 103, lol.

My husband was kind enough to bring me a package of mini-m&ms (actually it was for the grandkids, but don’t tell them I played with them first, k?) and I counted out 100, exactly. But you can’t really tell here, so. . .

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

MM4 MM3

I invite you all to make up a Macro Monday badge (if you want to) just email me if you’d like me to share it here too.  I’ll make up a page where they all can live and be linked back to their creators. :0)

“The ants go marching one by one, HOORAY, HURRAH”……congrats on 100 Macro Mondays!
I had totally forgotten the 100 objects until I came to link, looked at what I had and it actually works. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for being a terrific hostess!

Looking at what 100 M&M’s look like (doesn’t look like a lot) makes me wonder if any of us are really cautious of how many we eat in a sitting. :)

Happy 100th!! (If we blog long enough, maybe someday I can say that in reference to a birthday too, but that’s a LOT of blogging until then!) You should do a button with the M&M’s as they have the same initials as Macro Monday.

And just BTW, your ant ‘eggs’ in the badge are actually pupae in cocoons. Eggs are much smaller and shiny.

I was horrified though compelled to look at the ant pic, but I quickly skipped to the M&M’s. Then I started juxtaposing the two and seeing the ants all over the M&M’s. Eeeeeew!
