Woodland covered in wild garlic, otherwise known as ramsons. Found in a little bit of woodland only a 5 minute drive away from home - I was enchanted ! Firstly because they happen only once a year, in spring, and look and smell delicious. Secondly, because of the light filtering through the trees. I love garlic ! If you like garlic too, you can actually use the leaves of ramsons in salads and salad dressings and other recipes, of which I'm sure there are many.
I'm happy to say I've now got Topaz Studio working again, so I edited this photo there, finished off in PicMonkey with a light texture of my own added.
Thanks for looking ! Have a wonderful weekend and week to come, everyone and may your days be filled with sweet and lovely sights and feelings.

I put sprouting garlic cloves in a flower pot in the spring and harvested today *lol*.
Tonight we have
spaghetti aglio e olio !

When I heard that the Macro Monday theme was veggies I knew I wanted in. I was thinking along the chive/onion/leek line but when I went to the store I didn't see anything that jumped out at me except for a possible shoot with cauliflower against a white background. I decided to pass and kept looking. I started to look into small onions but then I saw a bin with cloves of garlic. I looked through the bin and came across this clove! I found what I was looking for, and at $0.79/clove the price was right. When I presented it to the cashier, he looked at me funny and suggested I get one in better shape because this one had sprouted. I asked him to be careful with it because I wanted to photograph it. He then asked that I wait a minute and kept looking at the clove while he made a phone call. It seems store policy is to throw out cloves like this and in the end I got it for FREE! Free is nice and with that as a backstory here is my macro garlic clove shot.
The clove measures 2.5 (W) X 2.75 (T) and was shot with my: 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens with a two shot stack. Light provided through a south facing window with the clove sitting on some black paper.
Make for MacroMondays group, Vegetable theme.
Now its off to a cup of water for a little more growing and perhaps another shoot in a few weeks!
Black garlic is fermented white garlic... tastes very good, is healthy and you don’t smell like consumption
in the garden and very invasive... but they do make the prettiest tiny flowers... so I leave them and then I'll weed wack them down!!
Botanically, garlic is considered a vegetable. It shows characteristics of a vegetable as it has a bulb, tall stem, and long leaves. - - - - -
The good thing is tonight these little bad boys are going to flavor up a chicken dinner. - - - - -
No many photos that are edible. - - - - Yummy
PS: no post editing. Straight out of my little camera - - - -
Garlics believed can keep you away from the cuspids of vampires, if you make a necklace of garlics and wear it. But I also guess that the cupid doesn't want to bring you a mate, if you smells of garlics from that necklace.
Just kidding and Happy Macro your Monday... ha ha :D
"Thank you very much for all your faves"
Let's face it now, it isn't everyday we see a genuine example of anti gravity anywhere let alone in agarden is it now? Yet here we have it along with the evidence, and not just any garden - it's in our garden! I know, it's incredible, but its not for sale so don't even go there.
The only other example I can think of is those UFO things that keep turning up on people's phones, but as folks don't believe in those, that makes this little baby unique does it not.
I'll tell you something else, it's totally silent, doesn't make a sound and you can pass your hands all around and underneath it like one of those stage magicians - it doesn't seem to mind. Nor, does it limit itself to any one flowerbed, oh no it moves with it's whims not just the sun, hot border in the morning, vegetable patch in the afternoon - it even followed me into the house one day!
A couple of days after taking this very photo, my wife and I had to pop to the garden centre (we were looking for something inter dimensional) and this little baby kept pace with us for an entire kilometre. It was only as we turned out of our road and my wife put the pedal to the metal that we thought we had lost it - I say 'thought' because when we pulled into the car park at the garden centre about 10 miles away there it was! I don't think anyone else saw it for it was hovering about 50 feet in the air directly over the compost bags, as it did so it slowly rotated and as the sun caught its petals it appeared to change colour - just like one of those bona fide UFOs that don't exist, and when we got home an hour later, there it was, sunning itself next to the garlic. I know, I know, it's incredible, but it isn't for sale so don't even go there....

Our woodlands are a wash with the sights and smell of wild garlic at this time of year and I managed to captured some in a small local wood in my home town.
