A tall Rumex hydrolapathum, commonly known as water dock, grows at the quiet edge of a reflective shoreline. Surrounded by stones and lush greenery, its seed heads rise above broad leaves while still water mirrors soft sky tones, creating a calm and intimate natural scene.

A praying mantis amongst the flowers.

This image captures a crocodile partially hidden among lush green vegetation. Its dark, textured skin and sharp teeth are visible as it peers out from behind blades of grass or reeds, resting on a sunlit rock beside calm water. The shallow depth of field emphasizes the animal’s eye while blurring the foreground and background.

A young aspen sapling, its heart-shaped leaves speckled with shimmering morning dew, reaches upward through a soft haze of golden light.

A dandelion blooms defiantly from the earth — ordinary, radiant, and unbothered by its label. Captured from above in stark monochrome, this portrait elevates the “weed” into quiet royalty, surrounded by wild grass and shadows.

 

It’s not rare. Just remarkable in its own way.

A lone brown hen explores a patch of dense greenery, her red comb bright against the wild tangle of grasses and leaves. Captured in a moment of quiet foraging, this image celebrates the simplicity and freedom of rural life

A graceful white lily emerges in soft light, its petals curling delicately in contrast to a dark background. The stillness and texture make this a quiet portrait of elegance.

A collection of photos shot with my Sony 90mm macro lens.

Same scene, new feel. Which version speaks to you more?

Just had 5 minutes spare in the garden and grabbed my RF 100mm F2.8 macro lens felt inspired to dust it off and give it another go!

 

It’s been a while since I’ve done any freehand macro photography, so I was a little rusty… but it felt good to get back into it.

 

Here’s a quick selection from my mini garden session nothing serious, just some fun experimenting and rediscovering the joy of shooting up close.
