Do you see what I see? Yes, it’s a piece of popcorn, but what else is it?
Did you say, ‘frog’? Well that’s what my aunt saw while eating her bowl of popcorn years ago. SO she promptly wrapped a piece of popcorn in tissue paper, boxed it up and sent it from Texas to Missouri to my mother (her sister). My mother loves frogs of all kinds so this piece of popcorn has been sitting in her china cabinet for many years now. It looks freshly popped doesn’t it?
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. Don’t forget to visit each other. 
THANK YOU to each one of you for playing along! I love seeing what you come up with each week!

Another series of neat macros Lisa. Popcorn kernels have a way of getting stuck between my teeth, but there’s nothing quite like real popcorn (not the microwave stuff). I can smell it now.
I never saw a frog, but I did the greatest trick ever when I was a kid. We were on vacation at the Jersey shore and it was a rainy day. I caught a few toads and though it would be great fun to put them in an empty Cheerios box. You should have seen the look on my sister’s face when toads hopped into her bowl instead of cereal.
Smack me if I told this story before, but it was so much fun…

The popcorn is funny! And even funnier that it’s years old and has been on display in your mother’s cabinet! That’s just the sort of thing I’d do. LOL!
Becky said,
Wow, that corn has really held up well! I saw some painted one time. They were fabulous!

That is too cute! I really can see a frog- with eggs for eyes.
I have a couple of potato chips I’ve had for years. One has a cross in the center.
Vicki said,
That sounds SO much like something my aunt Peggy would have done. And it does look amazingly fresh. I can see the frog, but I was going to guess Jar-Jar Binks.

I was so going to be first with this one, but MckLinky wasn’t ready to go when I was and then I got sidetracked………
Love the frog!
Jama said,
It does resembled a frog but I’m more surprise it lasted years! Look so fresh.
Gattina said,
What a cute story about an antique popcorn, lol ! But really even if I turn my screen upside down, I don’t see a frog (not even a cat, lol)
Jeanne ~ bermudabluez said,
Wow! Perfect Popcorn! It certainly does preserve well, doesn’t it?

Very cute…it’s a frog!
quilly said,
You know, of course, that as soon as I finish commenting here I am going to have to go pop some popcorn. I can almost smell the butter melting. Very tasty!
toby said,
I’m so impressed that it’s lasted so long! Wow. Great shot – thanks for sharing it with us!
Kala said,
What a photo and what a story to go with it!
Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA said,
If you say it’s a frog, okaaay . . . Me, I woulda eaten it. Fun story!
Nicole said,
Most def. a frog!
How cool is that?
Valerie said,
that is so cute!
Regina said,
Really nice and cool!
Cheers and regards.
Gemma said,
That popcorn shape is just incredible! I am amazed that it has lasted for so long intact!
Birgitta said,
Cool shots Lisa! Wishing you a supergreat vacation!
Betty said,
I can´t really “see” it, but with a lot of imagination…..maybe.
Very funny though!
Susanne said,
Lovely and a perfect macro=)

I think it looks like a little playing puppy
Mojo said,
Funny… what I saw first off was two baby birds in a nest squawking to be fed. But once you said frog I could see that too. You could probably sell this on eBay for hundreds, ya know? It’d go perfectly in the collection with the Abe Lincoln french fry and the glow in the dark Jesus night light. Or something.
I always knew that stuff was indestructible. Last things on earth will be the cockroaches, and they’ll be living on popcorn.

Great “thing” looks remarkable fresh for it’s age
Tracy said,
haha…that is such fun–a popcorn frog! I’ve not make popcorn in ages… wonder what shapes or likenesses I’ll get?! Happy Days ((HUGS))
Icy BC said,
Great capture of this tiny popcorn. My camera wouldn’t be able to do this!
BK said,
It sure looks like a frog. And I am surprise that it still looks fresh even after many years.
Jan said,
Cool ones, Lisa
dani said,
No way!! That is some well preserved popcorn.
Jientje said,
Can you believe I forgot to submit my link? My mind is still on holiday! I hope you’re having as much fun as I had!!
Your aunt has a very vivid imagination, it’s very hard to see a frog in this, but I loved the story!
kaye said,
love how the orange background makes that corn “pop”
dutchbaby said,
I wonder how much it would go for in e-Bay; it can be listed right next to the potato chip that looks like the Virgin Mary.
Colleen said,
That does look like a frog! How funny that you have been able to keep it for this long!
Se'lah said,
what an imagination you have…that does look like a frog. so cool.
Martha said,
Wow, too funny! I want to know just how many years “many years” is!
Jenners said,
That is so funny!!! It does look fresh popped!
Michelle said,
So sweet that your Mom kept the popcorn for soooooo long!
Great photo but honestly I didn’t see a frog.
self sagacity said,
Very nice! I like that you’ve created two things from one. That’s what I call creative.
My first visit, so I will be checking back. HMM
Karisma said,
LOL! Yes I saw it!
Pamela said,
I finallyi saw the frog. My eyes kept “thinking” it was seeing a poodle giving us the moon.
Kaci Traywick said,
I had to go back and look again since I just saw popcorn. Makes you think outside the box. hee hee
ter@waaoms said,
are you serious? it’s been sitting on a cabinet for years?? um…. i don’t know what to say about that. lol. but yes, it does sorta, maybe look like a frog. (My husband’s uncle collects frogs too)
