It is supposed to be a takeoff of "tight rope walking". 😃

These mushrooms are not edible and would give you a serous case of indigestion if eaten, but their gorgeous golden color and delightfully decorated caps and stems make excellent eye candy.

Lined up in a row, six wine glasses given to me a few months ago as a Birthday present.

Hand held and the gentle colour softness that this lens produces when fully open. Not much depth of field either!

All sorts of gentle post-processing, a bit here and a bit there!

I dearly love finding dandelions in my garden, whether they are the yellow flowers or the soft puffs of seeds ready to take to the wind. Generally I leave the dandelion there (unless I am removing weeds, and then I say goodbye to my little friends). However, this one time I decided to break the dandelion puff off of the stem to take inside the house for a photo session. The moment I removed the puff, the bottom of the stem curled into these two tightly wound circles. What a treat!

Мальва мускусная (?)

Malva moschata, the musk mallow or musk-mallow, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to Europe and southwestern Asia, from Spain north to the British Isles and Poland, and east to southern Russia and Turkey. Growing to 60 cm (24 in) tall, it is a herbaceous perennial with hairy stems and foliage, and pink saucer-shaped flowers in summer.

I have been thinking lately that I need to take some wider angle photos and it is difficult when I enjoy the world close up and macro. My next goal should be wide lens work of people and places.

Stems

Baby euphorbia plants with attractive red stems, growing in beach sand, on Kangaroo Island.

I thought these had disappeared from the La Crosse River Marsh when I no longer saw them in their usual spot. But I happened to find another bunch in a wetter, greener area.

It is in late autumn when the leaves are on the ground that you notice the character of the leaf. The veins and stem have always been there but are not as noticeable in the summer when the leaf is green and still connected to the tree.

Poison hemlock stems have distinctive purple streaks on the stems, and fernlike foliage.

I always look for pumpkins with fun stems.

last August.

for Macro Mondays. Compared with the large bowl, the long stems on my posh wine glasses seem very slender and fragile, and I always take great care when handling them.

The five other glasses are reflected in this one stem.

Ginger is a popular flavour at Christmas, usually pieces coated in dark chocolate but my take on it this year is stem ginger cupcakes. A quick and easy bake, and also an easy frosting flavoured with syrup from the ginger jar and topped with a festive edible 'bauble'.

I was out early one morning with only the big lens, looking for wildlife. No luck there, but I was very glad I noticed this frost on these red stems. I don't know what the plant is. I've been bringing my macro lens every day since, but frost this nice doesn't happen very often. Siskiyou County, California
