Macro Mondays Leaves only Leaves

 

A few weeks back I picked up two or three leaves from the capital pear trees in our driveway and decided to see what sort of shots I could get using a black cloth as background, a bit of desklamp lighting manipulation and a tweak or two of photo post-processing editing. This is a different shot from one I posted of the same leaf a few weeks ago.

Salyx, having a wee shady moment on the new garden sofa...

 

We built this behemoth in June...from old pallets and new decking. I thought it was a good idea. It weighs a bloomin’ tonne! It is more than seven ft long, at one point. Also, I had to buy some sheds in which to keep the over-the-top-expensive cushions.

 

Anyway...not content with lying under a tree or a bush, Madam decided that comfort was top of the agenda.

Female rose-ringed parakeet. Last time I went to St James`s Park I only saw one, now I am told there are at least 20, Soon be as many as Kensington Gardens, I wonder how they will cope with this cold weather though!

Chrysanthemum!

Daylilies and lavender in the gardens of Serenity Lavender Farm near Oxley, Ontario

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 30074

Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. To avoid damage from pollinating beetles, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are extremely tough. The flowers are bisexual with numerous adnate carpels and stamens are arranged in a spiral fashion on the elongated receptacle. The natural range of Magnolia species is a disjunct distribution, with a main center in east and southeast Asia and a secondary center in eastern North America, Central America, the West Indies, and some species in South America. 37830

These carefree flowers were growing alongside the sidewalk. I thought they were quite pretty and deserved to be photographed. For Sliders Sunday, I took them to Topaz Studio for editing, colour enhancement and addition of a texture. HSS!

 

P.S. I have BIG news! I am moving and will be away from Flickr tomorrow and for another day or two after that. Wish me luck, cuz I'm gonna need it! I'll catch up with your awesome images when I get back!

 

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day week ahead!

Roscoff au petit matin

This building in downtown Beardstown, Illinois was completed in 1889 as a clubhouse for the Beardstown Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In recent years it has housed an antique mall. Glad to see this old-timer survive into the 21st century, but I'm not quite sold on the color.

Dietes is a genus of rhizomatous plants of the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1866. Common names include wood iris, Fortnight lily, African iris, Japanese iris and Butterfly iris, each of which may be used differently in different regions for one or more of the six species within the genus. Most species are native to southern and central Africa. They have flowers with six free tepals that are not joined into a tube at their bases. 29221

Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. 17473

A lovely pink tulip in the garden enjoying some very rare sunshine

A few weeks back I took this shot of the Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying the warm Autumn weather. Now not only are they gone but most of the leaves had fallen too.
