Macro Monday Bells

Taken from my local morrisons carpark. Only nipped in for a sandwich !!

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Ring the bell"

This is the only bell I have. It is a miniature of the Japanese temple bells, and hanging down is a long paper strip with the prayer written on it. The sound is lovely, gentle and pure, and I tried to capture its movement as it sways in the breeze, and to suggest the meditative quality of its sound by adding some incense. I did some research online to find out more about it ....

"Cast iron furin wind bell following a temple bell design, with greenish finish. Originally they were hung at each corner of a temple to frighten away evil spirits. Now they are used as wind chimes, being hung during summer time in Japan, the bells have a pure, gentle tone."

Funeral bell, deadly skullcap or deadly galerina: the common names for Galerina marginata are ominous! This common wood-rotting mushroom is as toxic as death cap mushrooms, so don't even taste it.

When the sunlight traced its way down the narrow valley and the direct sunlight finally reached the iconic formation, a beautiful Bell Rock Sunrise developed in front of my camera.

Pimelea physodes, the Qualup Bell is a beautiful small bush with lots of flowers. The colourful bell shaped bracts hide the flowers inside.

Today I took the Free 935 Bus to Kings Park, a beautiful , large botanic garden and park not too far from the Perth CBD and over the Swan River. The Park, some 400 acres has beautiful views over the Swan River towards Perth and towards Freemantle. It composes formal gardens with Western Australian native plants especially wildflowers and some bushland. The native bush is severely damaged at the moment from the extremely dry summer and winter this year. The Park is also having problems with an introduced pest, the Polyphagus shot-hole borer beetle. This Beetle was found in 2021 and comes from SE Asia. It is devastating some of the species in the park with the only treatment being felling the trees. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-17/wa-scientists-push-for-sho...

After a terrible sunrise, I finally got a shot of Maroon Bells at sunset. Met some great photographers while we waited for the light.
