I enjoy the grainy aspect when shooting with a low resolution device. Some seem to not favor having large foregrounds or backgrounds but this is how I feel great proportion and balance is gained. I tried many different angles with this shot and personally preferred being able to show the one angler having his morning smoke and the only way I could accomplish this was having their heads above the shore line. By doing this as well highlights the sunrise reflections on the face of the other sportsman. I feel this just ads to the depth of the image. since both heads have a unique presence. Sure I could crop out some of the foreground (Many will say I should) but it's my style and signature if you see my gallery
For this weeks Macro Mondays challenge "Trash" I went with our compost recycling bin which had an apple an orange and a banana peel.
If you fav this photo please leave a comment as to why you like it, thanks in advance.
It would take an organic farmer to post such a sign on his boundary fence; I wonder what grows beyond the native bush on the other side of that barbed wire.
In your garden, pull up any dead plants and lay them on the ground around healthy plants. You can also chop them up and mix them into the soil.
While leaves changing color in the fall are dying, they are not dead. A cold snap will kill the leaves the same as it will on the leaves of most your other plants.
I was dumping some yard debris and spotted a few of these. I didn't have any plans on photographing, but...
I used a small puck light due to the bright backdrop and took 60 images for my stack. I had hoped to capture the back valance, but this guy was very short.
I've hardly finished some work on a rather neglected compost át the back of friends' veggie garden when several neigbours from the adjacent National Park arrived to appreciate my work. The Satin Bowerbirds came in numbers and allowed me to observe their likes and dislikes, as well as the way they deal with the food on offer. TBC
(Ptilonorhynchus violaceus)
Superb Fairy-wrens were particularly observant and appeared already while I was busy with the compost and they seemed to be working alongside me.
(Malurus cyaneus)
We were surprised to look out to see these sweet ladies in our yard. One of them was very interested in our compost!
I feel terrible for wildlife lately because the air quality is horrendous due to the Canadian wildfires. For several days it’s been in the “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” range, with a constant haze in the air. While we have the option of closing windows & filtering our air, they do not.
Grass Snake / natrix helvetica. 09/07/22.
With just head above the water, this stationary Grass Snake was looking for prey.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
The popular name for this plant is actually a Christmas Cactus and I had originally planned to post it a few weeks ago. For whatever reason it never happened but rather than keep it for another year...
I did struggle with finding a composition that wasn't too cluttered because once this cactus starts flowering, it is covered in beautiful, but very short lived blooms.
Snapped as a whole, (at least by me!) it can look like a big red compost heap but trying to pick out an individual bloom can also be problematic.
I was a little bothered that my photographer friend was able to whip out his phone and get la perfect HDR in one shot, so I took it as a challenge. I consider this as much digital art as photography, and not really the kind of photo I strive for
La riserva naturale della Marcigliana è un'area naturale protetta situata tra via Salaria e via Nomentana, nella città metropolitana di Roma.
Esteso per oltre 4.000 ettari il paesaggio è rurale e composto da campi coltivati, spallette boscate e filari di alberi lungo le strade interpoderali.

This is what our compost looks like at the moment. It proves that the compost soil is excellent, and that the garden care is somewhat neglected :)

On its way to the compost bin...
Most of the strawberries were lovely - this one seems to be growing rather a lot of mould !!!!!
37800 passing Murcott, near Long Buckby, working as 5Q50 Kilmarnock-Wolverton, dragging 317334. It caught me off guard a tad, as it was right behind a unit, and was suddenly about 40 early here as it missed its scheduled break at Rugby.

Macro Mondays - Trick or Treat
Some years ago we warned local children that if they threw eggs at our house when denied a treat their compost heap would become infested with ghoulish horrors.
This creature was recently found on one of their garden paths - clearly tortured to reveal the location of where where others might be hiding. You have been warned!
No apples were actually harmed during the capture of this individual, it's a mock up.
While composting this, I sank to the waist in muck. Koda the Magnificent, pulled me out while fighting off a grizzly. The beaver in the Lodge (Right Center), where chuckling from inside.

Trash- It seems to me after review of the pictures before me, we could do a lot of composting and recycling to reduce the world waste stream. Unfortunately this tea bag creates landfill in it's packaging. The acid loving plants enjoy the tea bag it's self. I start the day creating waste, perhaps a different brand in the future.
The Flickr Lounge-Made Of Wood
These are wood pallets we got from a local business to use for our compost bins. The Rhubarb is growing on the left side and a volunteer Delicata Squash is growing in front of the bin.

Meet the Peg-Legged Compost Fly, or Syritta flaviventris! I've featured one of these fellas before, but I thought this shot was surely sharp enough, so sue me!
These are an introduced species that have established themselves alongside my beloved native hoverflies (family Syrphidae), and have proven to have excellent manners. Unlike many of the nonnative, introduced, and flat out invasive species here, there are very few instances where this fella would cause harm to a native species in any meaningful way.
So, as far as I'm concerned, they are fully naturalized citizens! Maybe they got here via questionable means, but they behave better than some of my native residents. They even do some work in the form of helping compost my decaying organic matter laying around the garden! On top of that, they pay the pollen tax by hovering among my wildflowers as I putter around the property. Their contributions to my land vastly outnumber any trumped up "negatives" that may be erroneously associated with introduced species! They even look gorgeous while they do it.
If I start magically running out of room, I can't help but feel like these guys would be ridiculously low on my relocation priority. I CERTAINLY wouldn't base my entire personality and culmination of my conscious efforts around hating them simply due to the "non native" label!
This speech - which was 100% solely about insects - was brought to you at 1:1 by my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 Macro! This photo is uncropped. This unfortunately uncelebrated utilitarian is around 7-8mm long!
