Macro monday: Spiky

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!

Asters can be notoriously hard to identify so I finally did something smart (rare!) and took a picture of the leaves and stem with my phone so I had a better chance of identifying it when I got home. Worked much better than relying on my so-called "memory"! Photographed after a rainy October night in Beaver Creek Valley State Park near Caledonia, Minnesota.

Hello, long time..I wanted to share this with you and to be

on my flickr record,the original concept was to have two

side by side,with a central drop hanging down,,that was the

plan..but i think i got something better though what do you

think?you see this could never be repeated and hears

why.the drop is glycerin,sticky and heavy,it broke the stem

and hung down before collapse, and a water drop would have

simply rolled off at the moment of stem break.this happened

by accident and i love it.

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.

I always look for pumpkins with fun stems.

Explored - Highest position: #309 - Sunday, August 29, 2010 - Thanks to all of you for visiting and the lovely comments/faves/awards and invites that you have gave me - very much appreciated - take care Linda - have a wonderful week :-) (Thanks to _SG_ for letting me know)

Thought the stems were very interesting - another one :-)

At the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

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
