Some days there’s #magicinthemundane.

#photography #phonephotography
The base of a patterned water glass is visible at the center top of the picture, sitting on a light-colored tile surface. The glass casts a hard shadow toward the camera, extending to the base of the photo at each lower corner. In the middle of the photo, vibrant patterns of light scatter across the shadow and spill onto the brightly lit tile surface.

#magicinthemundane #pattern #patterns
a plain ol' boring plastic water bottle sitting on a wooden post in someone's back yard trailer, but if you zoom in to full resolution, the lower half is filled with flowing curves of the bottle's shape that refract and warp the image of the surrounding scene, with a few tiny air bubbles, while the top portion is coated on the inside with condensation in a pattern that resembles frost

A nearly black-and-white photo shows two sets of mud and concrete encrusted boots and work pants facing each other under a pedestal table at a deli attached to a gas station. The floor is white tiles. The boots are worn and have the feeling of hard and dirty work.

an unexpected ecosystem, or maybe an urban whale fall, or maybe my morbid fascination with even garbage leads to #magicinthemundane moments not shared by many, but still equally intriguing to me as the nature scenes

#urbanphotography #streetphotography #garbage #snails
A close-up of a discarded plastic Haggen's Deli Sandwich box on the street. The half-eaten sandwich is vaguely visible inside, and while likely in a state of rot, is thankfully obscured by the condensation on the inside of the lid. The predictable scouting crew of exploratory ants has made their appearance, but (most interestingly to me) a SNAIL on the outside as well!

downtown after hours on the way to my local open mic last night... this city never runs out of interesting things to see <3

#urbanphotography #streetphotography #magicinthemundane #night
a late-night view of a city sidewalk, most prominently featuring a nine-rung-layered handrail on the left, all illuminated red from a stop light somewhere out of view; that railing divides the scene between much darker on the right, and much brighter lit brick buildings behind it on the left

a grim beauty in nature doing what nature does

#macrophotography #naturephotography #spider #spiders #bugs #magicinthemundane
a close-up of a cheap plaster apartment hallway wall where a tiny spider has just defeated a much larger damselfly, and is now assessing the spoils of its victory; details can be seen in the leaf-like segments of the paper-thin wings

hey there mister weightlifter, gotta get those reps in! seen on the way to work. #magicinthemundane

#shadow #shadows #urbanphotography #streetphotography
A close-up of a cement curb, with a shadow that resembles a miniature person holding some barbells. The wheel in the lower left gives a slight clue that what's actually casting the shadow is a very tiny tricycle.

you can find rainbows in the oddest of places #magicinthemundane

#slime #slug #moss #Mosstodon #macrophotography #naturephotography
a thin layer of slug slime draped over a patch of moss on a tree, dried and opaque white along the edges, but still clear with a soap-bubble rainvow shimmer in the centter; the moss is likewise green in spots, and dried out & brown in others

Close-up of a vintage round brass porthole window with a hinge and screw bolt lock. The weathered, oxidised metal is set into a deep purple paneled door. The reflection of townhouses, ship masts, and tree branches can be seen in the porthole glass.

empty ash can for the wood stove

#magicinthemundane
#Photography
Abstract, closely cropped photo looking directly at the bottom of a metal ash can. The sides and are dotted with carbon and light colored wood ash. The bottom has a dark umber hue, dotted with black carbon. I think it has the feel of outer space, filled with stars but containing a subtle geometry amidst the randomness.

fractals IRL

#magicinthemundane #mathematics #naturephotography #macrophotography
set against a blurry green forest background, a close-up of some barren twigs that formerly held berries of some sort, not grapevine but likely similar, branching into ever more finely detailed and seemingly infinite forks like some of the classic fractal visualizations

as you can probably tell, I didn't get out on my weekendly nature hike this week, needed to take a day to rest for my mental health, but the result is (literally) shitposts

#shitpost #ordinary #magicinthemundane
A large drooping blob of bird poop on a glass window, casting a corresponding shadow on a weave-pattern blind six inches recessed from it; I observed it on a walk back to the office with HR, who replied that she noticed it every day, so I chose to make a challenge out of making it look interesting. To her it looked "angelic" the way I framed it, but to me I saw echoes of galaxy photos, like the Pillars of Creation Nebula. Fun to see even stupid stuff through a different lens.

my brain genuinely thought it was something else, wild accidental illusion

#magicinthemundane #illusion #ordinary #photography
a rain grate, with some rubbish caught between - specifically a scrap of white paper, partially wrapped by a dried leaf the EXACT shade of soft orange to make the combination of the two look like a Marlboro cigarette

little friend made a poor choice of location to set up shop (I relocated him as gently as I could)

#spiders #spider #mirror #magicinthemundane
a hasty low-quality picture of a tiny spider in a web across a car's side mirror; the focus is more on its reflection in the mirror, where more of its back is visible

This nice-looking plant has taken over what used to be an herb garden in our back yard. I hope it's not a noxious weed. #magicinthemundane
A small raised-bed garden plot full of very tall plants that have purple flowers on their tops.

reminded me of some agate marbles I had as a kid, spotted downtown... a universe in a drop

#naturephotography #macrophotography #sap #light #lichensubscribe #magicinthemundane
a VERY large blob of rich amber tree sap in the crook of a streetside tree, a similar hue to the yellow-gold lichen surrounding it, but obviously more shiny, bending a reflection on its surface of the surrounding cloudy blue sky

neat shadow on apartment complex stairs yesterday (contrasted with overcast monotone gray today)

#urbanphotography #streetphotography #shadow #geometry #magicinthemundane #stairs
a portrait view of some concrete steps with the usual amount of outdoor detritus on them, washed in sunlight, with one crisp shadow running down across them from an out-of-view handrail; the shadow zigzags sharply down as it crosses the joints of the steps, making their much more distinctly visible than the sun does

a close-up of some plant on a nature walk that I honestly have no idea what it is, but it looked neat - bending from behind a big green leaf, a deep red with threads of white where it looks like it might be sprouting, and fraying out like the unraveling end of a large strand of rope

definitely brought back some adolescent flashbacks, but there is NO way, in my present life, that I'd be able to climb this, with the state of my back OR anything else for that matter... no matter, still fond memories ^_^

#thicktrunktuesday #trees #climbing #rope #memories #magicinthemundane
an imposing view looking straight up from the base of a climbing rope with three knots along its lower portion, that's been attached and dangling to a (blurry background) tree some 30 feet higher; the focus is on the nearest rope knot, showcasing its recursive design, braids within braids within braids

#silentsunday #magicinthemundane #forest
a cluster of fallen pinecones on the forest floor, of widely differing generations - a faded & frayed squirrel-eaten one, a more "ripe" deep brown one, and one super-young, bright green one with its seeds still clinging tightly to its body

more #magicinthemundane , cute little things that a lot of eyes probably pass over, but someone put some love and care into these ❤️

not something I'd have expected to see inside a church(!)

#magicinthemundane #dragon #dragons #decor #crafts #fantasy
a building interior (which is actually a church), with a carpeted stairwell, on either side of which have been placed two VERY large cardboard cutout fairy tale dragons, painted red with yellow diamond spotting patterns, and LED-lit eyes, an absolutely magaical craft project
