This photo is a little darker and less colorful than I usually strive for, but was necessary under the available lighting in order to capture the unique beauty of the filament silhouettes and still retain some of their color without making them appear totally dark. Alas, photography is always a compromise! ;-)
Flowers...
They are fleeting.
They are fragile.
They require
little water.
They’ll surprise you.
They’ll remind you
that they aren’t
and they are you.

I was taking Remy for a walk and of course scanning the leaves for caterpillars. I spotted a tiny bit of "debris" on a maple leaf. Of course I have to check out anything that looks out of place and sure enough it was a tiny instar of a "Nematocampa resistaria" Horned Spanworm! One of the Filament Bearers they are an amazing and beautiful caterpillar! Ellicott City, Howard County, MD

It's a common lilly flower, what amazed me is the symmetric, asymmetric, and antisymmetric interplay between the 5 petals, 6 styles & 1 stigma, besides the fact that the petals are like reflectors that converge the reflected lights on the pollen pods. I have tried to highlight this apparently hidden aspect using selective colouring technique offered by Photoshop.
This is a first experiment with my Zomei Premium Close Up Macro Filter (+10). I got it in 67mm for the EF 70-300f4-5.6 L.
The same as my previous image of the solar filament, however I've added Jupiter to this one for some scale.

Another shot from my basement window. The light was good enough for me to create an interesting silhouette, which I haven't done in ages.
The two most noteworthy features on the sun this week were a pair of elongated filaments (Sept. 8, 2016). The central one was twisted into the shape of an elaborate arch at the center of the sun (yellow arrows). If this were straightened out, it would extend just about across the entire sun, almost a million miles (1.6 million Km). The other, smaller filament, (white arrows) if made straight, might reach about half that distance. Still, pretty impressive. Filaments are elongated strands of plasma suspended above the sun by magnetic forces. They are notoriously unstable and often break apart within a few days. The image was made by combining three images in different wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
