Default Guess My Macro and Soccer/Football

Some completely disconnected photos here.

First, I'm curious as to how quickly someone can guess the subject of this macro shot:

??

And here are 2 photos from a girls' soccer/football game on Thursday.

Thanks for looking.

Love No 3 Chip, and No 1's got me stumped, looks edible though. PAUL

Thumbs up

I think #1 is a cheese bun.

The soccer shots are great. You really caught the action.

I'm gonna say the first one is bread...? Maybe?
And the last two are good captures.

Nice sert Chip, I like the kids playing football, they all get stuck in and go for it.
As for your close up, of course with your new talent and equipment, this could be anything from a frake of dandruff to a bath sponge or from a piece of bread to mashed potato fluffed up with a fork and then browned under the grill for five minutes, I'm hungry now, great post

I think it's marble or granite. It looks like the variation in stone to me. Maybe a countertop or tile? I love the photo whatever it is.

Thanks very much, Paul. You're right - it is edible.

That's correct! Toasted, white sandwich bread, to be precise.

Steve - I like the dandruff angle. And of course you're right with your bread guess. I'm glad you liked the soccer shots.

Thanks, BigScott. I wish I had that type of magnification! How much fun would that be?
