ferns has intense beauty, especially when they emerge from the bottom and start unfurling their leaves.
Please pardon the suggestive imagery, but they are mushrooms, as found growing in a potted plant. This is my second attempt at capturing these, the first about a month ago, ended up in the trash bin. This time, I was determined to get it right... (er). Processing these gets complex. Starting with a 17-image, handheld focus-stack, processed in Helicon Focus with six different settings, then stacked in Photoshop into one image. That was then enhanced in Luminar AI, and sent back to Photoshop, where duplicate layers were made, and the subject masked. Different settings were used for the background and subject, in Topaz DeNoise AI. Finally the background layer was blurred slightly. Thrilled with the outcome. BTW: the tallest 'shroom measures 3mm and they are that yellow.
PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.
The first of the Leafcutter Bees, that I'm raising, to emerge from it's cocoon. I think it's beautiful. Photographed in Maryland.
11 image focus stack, taken with the camera hand held. Canon 80D, Canon 65mm MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash power set to 1/32
This photo was taken moments before the butterfly emerged from its chrysalis. It is possible to distinguish the brown and orange colours of the wings.

On my first unaided walk on Sunday I noticed these bud emrging from I am not sure whether a Maple or a Birch tree. These are very small maybe two inches in diameter so shot up close with the 50mm this is what I got.
Emerging from the darkness of the Mail Rail tunnels once more, we reach the platform of the East Loop where the mail was sorted ready to be sent on.
The Mail Rail tunnels were used to transport mail all around London on a network of automated underground electric trains. It opened in 1927, and only ceased service in 2003.

Now I'm not sure the Cataract Gorge in Launceston is what the Celts would call a "thin place", where the gap between this world and the next is wafer thin. But I wouldn't be surprised. It was already considered sacred by generations of indigenous Tasmanians.
Here in this infrared photo the light emerging over the top of the hill is analogous to the Light many spend a lifetime climbing towards. What lies over the ridge beyond the horizon of time? One day we shall know.
...or just the golden lid of a face cream, closed with a black velvet cloth underneath, placed inside a glass (invisible because of the piece of velvet) which was put sideways on an open coffee pot. This construction kept the lid parallel to the camera lense. The reflections of a crinkled piece of orange toffee tinfoil lit by a small LED lamp completed the setting.
Phhhh, a lot of 'construction work' to square the circle ;) but fun, too.
Enjoy your squared circle day, dear Flickr friends.

My other 7-photos panoramic view of Bukhta Natalii (the Bay of Nataly), which is probably the most beautiful fjord of the Koryak Coast (North of Kamchatka).
Exceptionally we had a sunny weather!
The little red things in the valley are our cruise participants.

A Monarch just hopped on my finger about 20 minutes after emerging from the chrysalis. One of the many I helped raise. They are rather helpless clumsy for the first day. I rescued one out of the water in my back yard. He was fine.
Recently, I tried to take some pictures of daisies, but in the morning most of them are closed. This one, however, has already opened up, where the remaining dew created a nice bokeh. Again, I've used my Helios 44-2 since it is sharper than my Meyer-Optik Görlitz Primotar and it produces a softer bokeh which does not look so "nervous". Hope you like it!
