[best appreciated at full size against black]

Even before I knew what this word meant, I've appreciated and marvelled over abstracts. Macro images are wonderful for capturing very interesting abstracts, and if you've been visiting my stream for a while, you'll know that I absolutely love getting so close to a subject that one must try very hard sometimes to figure out what it is that I'm taking a picture of. The other day I showed an image of lemon floating on top of a glass of ice water. Here is the side of the glass with ice pressed against the side of the cup!
