Give Blood

Crossing lines :)

O rhesus negative , anyone can have my blood !!!! its very important!!!

hair??

this is not a finger

OH YES IT IS !!!! ITS my finger !!!

no, it's this art piece that has a picture of a pipe and under it is says "this is not a pipe" meaning it's just a picture of the pipe. Thus that is not a finger, it's a picture of a finger

wooowww...este es el macro mas impresionante que hamas haya visto.... y esa parte s fabulosa...

Cherry flavoured!

Brilliant - total fave. Something I look at fairly often, whenever I check my blood sugar, but never this close up. I may steal your idea !!

Ouch! My first thought was diabetes... runs in my family so when I saw this I though of checking blood sugar levels. Nicely shot, though!

Nobel thought and idea. I thought was you are testing for blood sugar level. So sharp that I could see all of your finger’s circular ridges

A regular sight for me - I have diet controlled diabetes. Love the way the blood is seeping into the ridges on your fingertip. Great shot!

Travelinjim says:

You know what's interesting? I can't give blood in the U.S. because I lived in Europe for more than 6 months during the mad cow scare. Apparently, my blood is tainted now. I guess if I lived in Europe, it'd be welcome again.

As for the picture, excellent shot!
As for the message, really really important and worthwhile!

good photo, good cause.

@travelinjim:
Even more interesting: I do live in Europe (in the Netherlands) and I can't give blood either because I was in England for about 6 months during the mad cow scare. And I even was vegetarian during that time, but they can't make exceptions for that ...

this is great....everytime i go to your photostream this jumps out at me...and i never opened it til now! silly me. from the thumbnail it appears to be ice cream with a cherry on top...but then again, it also appears very "nipple-y" and then i open it to be completely surprised by what it ACTUALLY is! EXCELLENT!

Great macro shot! As others have said it's a sight I see often being diabetic. It's a great thing to do, give blood, although I don't think mine would be accepted as I've had heart surgery (an artificial valve) and have to take warfarin every day.

Perfection, with a positive message also....and along with giving blood, get your Bone Marrow Typed.. many many people need marrow, it is the gift of life, as is blood.
