I was wandering a field one day and saw a clump of clover flowers....for some lizard brain reason I felt compelled to eat them...they were very sugary. How did my brain know that? Then I thought about all the squirrels that probably peed on them...ugh...my brain can be so mean.

White Clover has always interested me as it makes up a good portion of our yard. If you do a search on clover you'll find it also interests plenty of other people. Here's my current take on the White Clover.
Rolling around in the grass with the Buttercups, I couldn't help but notice the clover. I grabbed a little bloom for a closer look in my "studio" and this is the shot I processed. I was quite surprised to find not one but at least three hitch-hikers with one aphid in plain sight, waving to me I think. Did you find all three?
Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR @ f/8, 48 Layer Focus Stack Rendered w/Helicon Focus. Silver sparkle paper for background but lightened up in post.
Trying to find a texture for the background proved to be a problem for this image. I think the high key quality of the bloom caused the textures to be a bit too much. Here it is for now, you might see it again if I find a suitable texture, we'll see.
Some people have asked about the set-up/process I use to photograph flowers (and other subjects) in my "studio" with focus stacking. In the first comment, I tried to document the set-up a bit with the previously posted rhododendron bloom. I hope you enjoy if interested.

Clover or Trefoil are plants in the legume or pea family. In the past, I would heartily rip any clover out of my garden and try my best to stop it from spreading. Then I learned how important their flowers are to pollinating bees....and how clover actually helps the soil. I've found I can live more comfortably with them. :)

Traditionally, a shamrock is a three-leaf clover. Why three leaves and not four? According to legend, St. Patrick used a three-leaf shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, with one leaf representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, respectively.
Clover's reputation has waxed and waned over the last century. Once considered a sign of a well-managed lawn, clover came to be considered a weed only after broadleaf herbicides hit the market.Today, gardeners are growing wise to the plant's many benefits. They plant clover to improve soil health, attract beneficial insects, and promote a healthy lawn.

Trifolium pratense blooming in soft pink. Taken by the roadside.
Trifolium pratense (Red clover, ‘Aka-tsumekusa’ or ‘Murasaki-tsumekusa’ in Japanese) is a perennial flowering plant in the pea family, native to Europe. western Asia, and north Africa.
One of the locals seeing what I was up to in the yard and grabbing some clover for breakfast. This one has a notch in the right ear, it’s tough being a rabbit, everyone wants to eat you.
Clover flower in the lawn.
I need to take photos every day. If nothing else to shoot, I will find something in the lawn 😂

Meaning "Think of Me" a very apt message in these strange and troubling times .. let's all think of each other since I've not mowed the back grass all summer and it is now covered in white clover flowers which look great as the summer sun shines through their petals.
One of the beauties of a macro lens is being able to have an insect's eye view of the natural world. For many years I would valiantly attempt to remove clover from my flower garden. However the more I learned about the importance of clover in a pollinator's life, the clover now shares space with my perennial flowers.

Crimson Clover - Trifolium Incarnatum
(Plus Sheep)....
Came across this field of what I thought was Clover, but did'nt recognise it as one I had seen before...
Crimson clover is widely grown as a protein-rich forage crop for cattle and other livestock. It can typically be found in forest margins, fields and roadsides.
It is sown as quickly as possible after the removal of a grain crop at the rate of 20-22 kg/ha. It is found to succeed better when only the surface of the soil is stirred by the scarifier and harrow than when a plowing is given. It grows rapidly in spring, and yields an abundant crop of green food, particularly palatable to live stock. It is also suitable for making into hay. Only one cutting, however, can be obtained, as it does not shoot again after being mown.
In Great Britain it is most valuable in the south, though less successful in northern regions.
It has been introduced into the United States, originally as forage for cattle. It is often used for roadside erosion control, as well as beautification; it tends, however, to eliminate all other desirable spring and early-summer species of native vegetation in the area where it is planted.
So there we have it!
This little wild flower clings on to the water after a rainfall, whilst all the grass and leaves around have dried.
Mani, southern Greece.

This honeybee was working the clover in our side yard, and I didn't have time to get out to a lake, so I took advantage of the local sights!

♥ Intro ♥
The Kribik is a gentle, and loyal creature, best suited as a companion. It has a positive, playful demeanor, and grows to like people very fast. It is slightly timid at first, but after it examines you a few times, it will learn to love everyone around. They feed off of blades of grass, careful not to hurt/eat any creatures crawling around inside of it. The Kribik were domesticated by humans to keep children, and other humans company along their travels, and at home. They are highly social, so will interact, and seek out other creatures to play with. They prefer to be kept in groups of two or more, if there aren't a lot of humans around. Due to their small, fragile frame, they are not used as mounts, but will happily hop beside you as a companion.

♥ How to use ♥
!!!!! WHEN MAKING A NEW PET, REZ IT FROM YOUR INVENTORY. DONT DRAG AND COPY IN-WORLD
Simply rez out your pet object from your inventory. Make sure there are not too many obstacles in the way, as it is still a SL creature, and can bump into items. They like a bit of space. Make sure the pet is positioned above the ground that you want it to wander on.
- Wandering:
Click in the Pet. (if you are having problems touching it, right click on the pet, and select touch from the menu). A dialog menu should pop up. Select radius from the menu, and type in a number from 1-30 meters. This is how far your pet will wander from the starting point. Make sure your creature is positioned around where you want it to wander within, and click on it again. Click on wander. It will start to walk around, and emote. This is where it interacts with people/items/pets in its territory.
-Wearing:
To wear your pet as a mount/pet, pick it up into your inventory. Right click on the creature->add.
-Riding:
To ride this creature as a vehicle with other people IF IT IS RIDEABLE, Make sure it is rezzed on the ground. Right click on it, and select "Ride". If the creature likes you, or you have access permissions, it will let you steer it. To speed up, double tap the fwd arrow. To slow down, press the fwd and back arrow at the same time. Due to physics limitations, if you are stuck after a jump, simply release the fwd arrow, and press it again to keep moving.
The ONE exception to this rule, is that it will NOT let people it doesn't like ride it, and they will have to be accompanied by someone it does trust if enough seats are available.
-Following:
Your creature can follow anyone close to it. Simply click on the pet, select follow from the menu, and click on the person you want it to follow.
