The fine details and pollen at the center of this daisy can be seen surrounded by vibrant petals.
This macro image was taken with extension tubes to magnify the subject. Focus stacking was used to make each area of the flower in focus.
On a visit the other weekend up into the Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne, I came upon this magnificent magenta rhododendron absolutely covered in a profusion of beautiful magenta blooms.
Rhododendron is a very large genus of about 1,024 species of woody plants in the heath family. They can be either evergreen or deciduous. Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia.
Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
As I have admitted before, macro is not my (photographic) thing. Sometimes though I try to exercise it even without the proper gear. Very rarely the result looks good enough to be shared in my eyes. Somehow this one felt like it had something nice although i don't think it's very sharp. Maybe i got drawn by the bokeh and the color of the flower. I hope you like it and that all of you are staying safe and healthy!

FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACKTHANKS
De kleur magenta wordt soms ook cyclaam (de roze tinten) of fuchsia (de meer rode tinten) genoemd

The color magenta is sometimes also called cyclamen (the pink tones) or fuchsia (the more red tones)
Our backyard is filled with these magenta flashes right now. This twig in our grapefruit tree is a favorite for this particular Anna's Hummingbird. If he's not perched here, he's sipping from one of the feeders or aggressively chasing off one of the other hummingbird inhabitants of our yard.
Man könnte argwöhnen, hier sei rot Trumpf. Magenta fand ich jedoch passender.
Maybe it is more red. Call it whatever you want.
Macro Mondays theme Vibrant Minimalism
I had great fun with this theme. I love minimalism of all sorts and so this theme was right up my street.
These are yellow glass marbles on fluorescent magenta card and taken in direct daylight/sun through glass doors (although the sun kept dipping away producing a softer image of which this is an example). The marbles are just over 1cm in diameter and so this fits well within the groups requirements.
HMM!

Magenta Azalea from the genus rhododendron. Found in our neighborhood on my photo walk. We had another cool spell and I thought these would dye back, but they came back even fuller and more colorful.
Happy Floral Friday. I will be off and on for a couple weeks. Will be doing some traveling. Have a nice weekend everyone!
"The Light Inside" is both a passage and a destination. James Turrell was commissioned to create the art inside the passageway linking 2 of the buildings in Houston's Museum of Fine Arts.
A male Anna's Hummingbird showing his magenta colors in our back yard. The chasing and squabbling and fighting have not abated. It's like a hummingbird war out there every day. I have to imagine its pretty stressful being a hummingbird what with the constant tension and all
Light shining through domed plastic awnings cast this amazing magenta colour onto the chairs and tables of this sidewalk cafe on Rua Quinze, Curitiba, PR, Brazil
Maybe about the magenta, too. I'm not good at naming colors. Whatever plant it was, and whatever color, it was a member of the Asteraceae, formerly known as Compositae, because all of those structures that look like petals are actually sterile flowers, with a barely visible group of fertile disc flowers in the middle.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great arttist?
