curved insect 😉 for the theme #PickTwo in #MacroMondays. Ok, Seto, you were right of course: it is also a striped insect (on a striped blossom). HMM!

For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Pick Two'.

'Yellow - Paper' and/or 'Blue - Flower'.

Sometimes I can leave the weekly challenge until the last minute, take a shot, and be reasonably pleased.

Not this week!

Started with an idea that morphed into something rather different, and then ran into all sorts of issues - lighting, that isn't unusual, then paper quality and my restricted manual dexterity.

The very small glass bottle rests on a sheet of tissue paper that extends into and makes the background. The paper came as part of the wrapping around a 'Father's Day' present and just had to find a use! But the creases and wrinkles ................... !

The 'Welsh Ring' flowers were made from thin strips of paper cut from the page of a catalogue - great colour and with a sheen. But because it was coated paper it didn't wrap around a paintbrush handle smoothly, and the 'flowers' aren't too even. As for getting, let alone arranging, five flowers in such a small jar I must be completely mad for trying.

After five attempts at setting up this little picture, I've now decided to do something more sensible like drinking a mug of tea.

Macro Mondays theme; Pick Two

One from each , list A and B

List A ...............List B

striped..............pottery

jagged............. insect

delicate ...........stone

curved .............brush

metallic.............basket

I choose delicate/insect, this is a 2" dragon fly wing.

I have a collection of insects who perished in my FL screen enclosure.

SOOC, HMM

The object in the photo is a detail of a decoration ribbon, which you can use for crafting (e.g. for making cards or scrap books). this ribbon has a nice iridescent pattern. I thought I could use this to make a nice abstract picture.

Probably pushing the boundaries here for this weeks Macro Monday's theme of Take Two. Let's see how it goes tho :)

A metallic 'looking' insect 'beetle' 😄

Quite a rare find for the UK as these are generally found in North America. They feast on Dogbane leaf and I have none of that in the garden! I found this scuttling around on the Delphinium!

ODC - flower or floral

Looking close on Friday! - theme of May 3, 2019 - hobby

Happy Friday everyone!

I will be browsing late in the evening as I am still "on the road"

This is a very close up of my sparkling turquoise green juggling club (and a hint of a red one in the background)

This club has a so called "European decoration": the iridescent coating covers only parts of the club - the middle of the corpus (here on the left side) remains white.

(Pink Flower)

A resilient, hardy fuchsia, Shrimp Cocktail is a fusion of marbled hot pink petals with a candy blush; each bloom totally unique

J'ai fait la mise point sur le sommet du pistil ou l'on peut voir des micros billes, que je suppose être le pollen.

This is a shot of my cat Roxy's fuzzy toy mouse. HMM!

Two delicate insects.

Ovipositing large red damselflies on a new garden pond. These are among the most common of the damselflies which differ from dragonflies by being smaller and more delicate and by holding their wings along their body when at rest rather than perpendicular to it.

damaged chocolate candy, sat in a hot garage all summer, yuck - it was very expensive so of course I still tried it :-)

.....a little black ant.

Sédum Acré or Stonecrop: Are little, about 6 inches tall, plants that I found at the junction of two forest lined roads. The ground is very thin and there are only a few types of little plants that grow there. I noticed this one only about two weeks ago and at that time they didn't have flowers, only buds. I was curious to see the flowers and went back this afternoon to take a look.
