Paper daisies in front of the lavender bushes in our garden, with just a touch of dewy moisure on them.
While on a hike in late September, I noticed this paper wasp in the wildflowers. I had never seen one with the yellow stripes and red dot before. When I researched it, I discovered that their colouring can vary according to their habitat. It seemed that these particular markings are not common in our area. Usually, they just have the yellow stripes or black abdomen but without the red spots. That red spot certainly caught my eye. He did not linger long in that bush and the Hover fly was zooming right in to take over the desired crop of blooms. Happy Wing Wednesday! Thank you for all the recent visits. I shall reciprocate soon.

A macro portion of a watercolor painting on paper. Designed as a greeting card but is currently used as a piece of "refrigerator art." Watercolor on paper by pre-kindergarten child. Note: the black designs were already on the paper; the child provided the watercoloring.

Sony FE 90mm Macro G OSS - f/3.2
Image is 2.28" W. These are post-it notes folded and shot with a shallow depth of field. I'm not exactly sure what happened here, but I believe I focused on the back part of the object, which made the foreground out-of-focus. Foreground Bokeh !!
In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, caused by circles of confusion. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all regions of an image which are outside the depth of field.
For the Macro Mondays challenge "Monochrome" (February 5th 2017)
For "Life is a Rainbow" January White no. 3
I wanted to create a macro monochrome image without using the short-cut of Photoshop post-processing. So this is the best I could do with daylight, enhanced with LED lighting giving a cool white light. The paper is thick watercolour art paper, and not as white as heavily processed printing paper. The paper was set on a sheet of 'bubble' glass to add reflected light. The size measured against a 2x3" credit card is in the first comment field.
HMM!

Just when you seek a moment's peace,
Let magazines your thoughts release,
For in their pages, stories rhyme,
In paperbound whispers, through all time.
