Triangle! :) 283/365: "There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow." ~ Orison Swett Marden

(This picture was taken during my 365 Project, and I'm delighted to share it again for our 10 Week Picture Project to represent the shape, "Triangle".) :D

6 more pictures in notes above! :)

Well, what do you know, today is ACTUALLY Thursday! :D (I spent most of yesterday thinking it was Thursday! :D) Since I already took a bunch of pictures for Bokeh Thursday yesterday, I looked to see what other interesting pills we had to photograph for my Picture of the Day. Both types of pills I chose were dog pills! The picture above shows a kind of yummy, chewable pain pill that we gave to one of our dogs, Molly, after she had surgery to remove a foxtail from her stomach! (Apparently she laid on the foxtail, which worked its way through her thick fur and into her stomach. Aren't foxtails cool? NOT!!) The other picture I took today were blue and white capsules, which are an antibiotic--see the picture above in a note! (Texture by Jerry Jones)

Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924) was an American spiritual author in the New Thought Movement. He also held a degree in medicine, and was a successful hotel owner. He died in 1924 at the age of 74. Wikipedia: Orison Swett Marden

Lovely image, Janet with great use of bokeh. How you get an image from doggy pills is beyond me but you've certainly succeeded. It just made me laugh imagining you building all those little structures from your pills!
Have a great weekend.

I always thought Laughter was the best medicine!

I had to look up the term Foxtails... these are what we used to call darts here in blighty when I was a mere boy, but I had no idea the surgical problems they can cause! Wow!! Years ago my dog (an Afghan Hound) managed to snort one up his snout! first clue I got was his non-stop sneezing. fortunately I could just see the end of a whisker and I pulled it out not knowing what it was, Luckily it came out whole and in one piece- he yelped in pain at this then proceeded to lick me to death! Never even heard of them burrowing in through skin, eew!

wonderful I love this... but foxtail is so horrible.. we have it up here too, it is not a native plant! I had no idea it could work it way through a dogs skin. I do not allow it to grow in any of my yards but I gotta say the stuff is sure photogenic!

That's quite a balancing act Janet! Clever collection of pill pics!

On seeing the thumbnail I immediately thought "oh, yummy......custard creams". So I was rather disappointed to see they were doggy medicine lol.

Having said that your focus and dof is just spot on, the texture works well and of course the bokeh is gorgeous :)

Worryingly, I'm now wondering what they taste like dunked in a cup of tea :D
