The challenge has been made, the gloves are off and the macro lenses are on.
OK, OK, so I admit it, I can be just a little bit competitive, so when I got the email from that shining star of wonderful gorgeousness that is English Mum informing me of a little bit of Macro Madness emanating from Tara, over at Sticky Fingers, how could I possibly resist!?!
So here it is, the fruits of my labour:
What, you haven't got a clue? Well, if no one gets it soon, I will come back and give you one.
Just in case the first photo is too easy, what about this one?
I could go on.............
OK, so here is the first photo, the one that nearly everyone guessed correctly as a toothbrush.
And here are a few photos of the second from further back - well done to Cortes and OwainDodo for their excellent guesses.
Since I seem to have a spare $20, I am off for an iced caramel macchiato - cheerio!

Toothbrush?
If so... that's PROPER macro, that (as we say in the North-East). Brilliant.
Somebody beat me to it. I also say toothbrush.
First is a toothbrush
Second has me stumped at moment - it looks like the twinnings tea adverts where they make pictures with the tealeaves
I agree - a partially immersed toothbrush. No idea about the second though it looks vaguely familiar. Stylised waves from a painting or an advertisement for hair colourant!
First thing I thought of was a toothbrush as well. Second one seems to be some type of drawing or artwork, possibly a woman's hair? Tough to tell.
toothbrush, maybe toothpaste for the second?!
Mummy V had the same ideas as I did. Or do. Otherwise, haven't a clue.
ok, you are from now on my photograph master
what a eautiful blog
all your pictures are brilliant !
I don't even want to try to guess, I just want to take the time to appriciate each of them
thank you for sharing with us
Hi All: So, the toothbrush was not so difficult. I knew I should have given you the even closer shot that I had. As for the second image, well, Cortes, you are on the right track........now think where you might see that image. If no one gets it by tomorrow, i will give you a second shot showing a little more detail.
OwainDodo: Yes, definitely proper macro - I have a 105mm macro lens and I have a lens that I can add on to get even closer.
Suldog: You clever old dog, you.
Dawnie: Have another guess, given the clue that I have given above.
jabblog: Stylised waves of someone's hair ....... go on, guess again.
Cortes: Who knew you were so smart? Now all you have to do is tell me where you would see that hair.
Mummy V: Yes and no - the two images are not related.
Carolina: Well, you got one right then - that's pretty good, isn't it!?!
Sister3: And from now on, you are my new favourite commenter!
a toothbrush? not sure about the 2nd. Damn this is bringing out the competitor in you - LOL!
oh - you posted the answer, lol...didn't see that.
I'm so proud!
The stylized hair is definitely familiar. On a stamp? No, possibly on a note of legal tender? I fear I am not recalling correctly on this.
The Queen's hair from a fiver... or maybe a tenner?
DM: I know, I just can't help myself.
Cortes and OwainDodo: If you two get together, you will get the right answer.
I know! I know! The Queen's hair on a Canadian $20 bill! Lovely lunch, by the way.
Yep, Cortes is right! OwainDodo, I am sure you would have got it too, if you were Canadian! Still, Cortes only got it once he got a look at the notes in my wallet.
easy for nudder one canuck!
got both before your 'explanation', toothbrush, np; color of the filthy lucre did it
Doh - never got the banknote. Very clever x
