Very tiny dewdrops in an ocean of colourful bokeh
The highly magnified droplets are clinging on to one of the little seed pods of that mysterious "Rainbow Plant" (smoke bush) which you've probably already seen here and/or here. If you haven't, then you've been missing out on something very special ( ツ)
With a seed pod measuring less than 5 mm in "length". you can imagine how small the tiniest drops are, even if you can't see them with the naked eye. The next size down would be mist! ( ツ)
Leaning back away from your tilted monitor screen, should create a 3D effect. The illusion is even more pronounced while in Lightbox and on full screen, of course. Let me know if it works for you!
Taken in situ and with 100% natural lighting, as always.
The gear! (new tab) - Shh!!! Mum's the word!
I hope you'll all have a really lovely Christmas with lots and lots of presents. But, go easy on the pudding! ( ツ)
It only remains for me to wish you, and all around you, a Very Merry Christmas and a Bright and Colourful New Year!
Take care and many thanks for calling,
Till next time,
Colin … ;-)
You may be glad to know that this is the last picture in my "Rainbow Plant" series. You can see all the others here. ( ツ)

Purple Smoke Bush leaves explode against a golden Gingko leaves bokeh producing a delirium of color in my garden.

Cotinus (Smoke Bush) in our garden - shining in the Autumn sun today.

A variety of colours in the trees and a few bluebells in Fishpond Park at Panteg in Pontypool.
Thanks to all the volunteers who keep the park looking so beautiful!

Leaves are coming up on my old wig bush (Cotinus coggygria) which I thought would not have survived the winter!
I am so happy! :-)))
I would appreciate if anyone of you can help me with ID of these lovely flowers and tree. PLEASE VIEW IN LARGE ALSO. Thanks !
BREAKING NEWS ! My good Flickr friend, Ms. Indira Nair has provided me with ID information. Common name of this flowering plant/tree is: Smoke Bush. Botanical name is: Cotinus coggygria. Entire ID credit (100%) goes to Indira Nair ji. I get credit as photographer and conveyor of information.
This is the cotinus known as "Golden Spirit"; its' lime green leaves turn vivid shades of red and yellow in Autumn.

I think it's a Smoketree or smoke bush (Cotinus /koʊˈtaɪnəs/) which is a genus of two species of flowering plants in the family Anacardiaceae, closely related to the sumacs (Rhus). (info from Wikipedia).
Autumn is such a time of wonderful color! The purple smoke tree in my garden (cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple') is adding to Mother Nature's color mania with its plum purple leaves turning to scarlet in October.

A smoke bush, that is. I've found too many good fences recently, so I'm posting this one for Textural Tuesday. It's a wooden fence held together with metal brackets of a kind I've never seen before. One section of the fence was completely surrounded by a large smoke bush. The flowers here look yellow because there was a lot of bright sunlight behind them. Their actual color was more pink.
This beautiful material is produced by a Cotinus (var. Grace), also called Smoke tree. Here it is captured in the Californian late afternoon sun.
