Week #1: Macro - In the Kitchen

I love these challenges as it makes me read more into a subject to understand what I need to do to complete the challenge of the task.
After several attempts & learning what NOT to do, I came out with several favorites this week.  The first one is the one that was chosen to represent my attempt on Flickr for the photochallenge.org group by my daughter as she said it was her favorite.
"Wooden Spoons"

"Spider Strainer"

"Knife"

"Salt & Dill Popcorn Leftovers"
