A recent shot from a photo excursion in Braamfontein. This old VW bus used to be known as a micro bus, and was really popular in the 1980s. Shot cross processed to give an effect relevant to the time

Now this is indeed the exact same type of little weed flower that started my quest to photograph these teeny-tiny jewels in Micro! I began the first set of these on January 1st of this year (2011) and now it has come full circle with finding one of these in my yard this month (November).
This teeny beauty is about 3/4" (19mm) in diameter measured petal tip to petal tip!

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

And in my new set, “Weed Flower Micros – II:”
...in un tempo in cui le "micro case" non avevano ancora preso piede, per necessità o per moda ( da noi siamo molto indietro...per fortuna)... ne costruivo per soggetti alti 45/50 mm. e questo accadeva...per gioco.
"casa elisa" (giugno 2000) è composta da 110 parti su una base di 12 cm. ripartite fra legno, plastica, metallo, carta e vetro.
Fedele al principio del modellismo "Scratch" ovvero l'autocostruzione da zero riutilizzando materiali diversi e dalle provenienze più disparate.
...il tetto è apribile e di grande effetto è la camera matrimoniale in mansarda, non visibile nella foto come non è visibile il pezzo forte della casa, il bagno costruito sul retro, completo di tutti i sanitari, lo specchio e...i mini rotoli di carta igienica.
Finally got back my first roll of 110 with the Micro Holga that Kim got me. We found a place in Oregon that develops and scans 110. Yay.
I guess it's WIP showcase day for me.
I started this in order to use the big 8x8 aircraft fuselage parts. On the whole, I like it, but I'm unsure of what to do for engines. I also wouldn't mind some suggestions about stickers. If I can find the right ones I'm sure they'd work great on this, but I don't have the best eye for them.
That's the new Gameboy Micro. It's small, like the size of my fliphone. It can supposedly play MP3s but the booth babe the micro was attached to wouldn't tell me anymore and instead said that I stumped her and shouldn't do it again.
I always loved Lego Architecture sets and I always wanted to build this amazing fictional location in micro version. It is based on the look of the castle in the last two movies.
This is my third iteration in many years. Finally, I was able to build this in real. The first two versions (very old and digital-only) can be found on Lego Ideas:

the old trail to Boval used to run atop the moraine but it is too narrow now and a mini valley formed between the mountain side and the moraine is where hikers make their way and where nature reclaims its rights with a variety of flowers and vegetation that make this spot feel very special. Engadin, canton of Graubunden, Switzerland.
Shot with Zeiss Ikon rangefinder & Carl Zeiss Biogon 21mm f/2.8 @ f/11, 1/125sec on Agfa Vista ISO-100 film.
This teeny tiny swoon block finishes at 2" square - which means the HSTs finish at 1/4"!! I set it on point inside a thing pink border and matchstick quilted it with some variegated thread.
