#MacroMondays “Backlit”

 

For this week's #MacroMondays challenge “Backlit” I've chosen to photograph: A small red leaf. Hope you like it! Have a great HMM!

 

I spotted these colourful balls in one of the Ekka's 2016 attractions, it was close to sunset and the light was coming from behind them, so I decided to photo play them with my camera.

Macro Monday, Backlit. Have fun!!!

A visit to the second largest rhododendron park in the world, the Botanika Bremen, was on the agenda. And what fascinated me? Fruit blossoms :-))

When I was walking yesterday, I saw these little flowering quince blooming (Thank you, [https://www.flickr.com/photos/11815777@N07], for the ID), with the sun partially hitting the backside of some of the petals. So I shot!

"A large, dark jay of evergreen forests in the mountainous West. Steller’s Jays are common in forest wildernesses but are also fixtures of campgrounds, parklands, and backyards, where they are quick to spy bird feeders as well as unattended picnic items. When patrolling the woods, Steller’s Jays stick to the high canopy, but you’ll hear their harsh, scolding calls if they’re nearby. Graceful and almost lazy in flight, they fly with long swoops on their broad, rounded wings." - Cornell University Lab of Ornithology

 

This shot was taken through a gap in a hedgerow. Luckily I was downwind and although it was suspicious it didn't take fright and flee for a good minute.

Just had to post one more image of my favourite backlit sheep on Bodmin Moor, as the lighting approaching sunset was so good. In tighter for this shot, and she posed beautifully looking directly to camera....probably thinking, what is this idiot crawling towards me doing !!! Awful weather again in Cornwall today.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Crazy Tuesday - backlight

I couldn't believe my luck when this gorgeous White Admiral landed in front of me on the bramble flowers with the light behind it. I do like a backlit butterfly.

While looking for Quail, this caught my eye

SMC Pentax M 50mm f1.7

Standing on the edge of the lake as birds were flying in to take advantage of the food that was being thrown down for them.

 

It was early morning and the sun was reflecting the colours of the trees on the water. This was a herring gull approaching to land on my right hand side, backlit by the sun.
