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

Wine glass 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'.

Clean stem glasses are stored upside down in a bar. A play of warm light, shadows and reflections. The impression of cleanliness.

When I buy a pumpkin I always try to find one with an interesting stem. I liked this one it seems to have a life of its own.

 

tiny bubbles... look close!

More fiddling (lockdown boredom)

This one shows the very thin DOF with this lens at large aperature. I thought I focused on the tip of the stem, but I really focused on the area just below the stem. I don't know if my eyesight is bad or if I was careless.

In case you are interested in what is going on here..... the original colours were dark stems against a pale blue sky. I didn't like the look of the dark stems - so I gave in did some heavy-handed processing instead of my standard Lightroom only routine. I don't have Photoshop, so I did this in Gimp.....split out the blue channel as a B&W image, inverted it and then added it on top a flat coloured deep indigo layer to add back some colour.

Last night I opened a bottle of Prosecco and, yes, I can down a whole bottle in one evening, but I didn't. What was left, was a well earned reward for spending most of today gardening.

my wife got some small gourds to decorate our dining table for Thanksgiving but then our dinner plans were spoiled by illness in the family. This was the back-up plan which we went to after the original plan was cancelled due to covid-19. So it was a very quiet, somewhat lonely Thanksgiving weekend. We gave thanks for the fact that nobody in our family who got sick was seriously ill.

The winding stem on my Grandfather's gold pocket watch. For the Macro Mondays Group. Topic: As long as it ticks." HMM! Looking at the group's postings it is clear I was not the first to think of this idea. Many of us seem to have watches both wrist and pocket on the brain. If you aren't a member of Macro Mondays, you might want to check out all of the ticking shots the gang came up with. www.flickr.com/groups/macromonday/

The harsh Winter winds have swept across the marsh leaving no trace of Autumn flowers.

PLEASE dont forget to add your photos to this group I cant beleive they have still not met the 30,000 photos target, and its nearly end Oct, so only a week left.

 

For each pink photo you add to www.flickr.com/groups/pink2008, Yahoo! for Good will donate €1, up to a maximum of €30,000. They will split the total equally between 5 charities in UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

As far as im concerned $30,000 isnt nearly enough but every little helps.

 

Lets add our PINK photos to the group please.

In the world of mathematics and data representation a stem-leaf diagram is quite common.

Another shot of this tiny Ceutorhynch (Seed) Weevil that I posted a couple of weeks back. As I noted previously, you really get no idea how small they are from a photo, but believe me when I say it was no more than 3mm long.

"Blanket Flower Stem" by Patti Deters. A single Indian Blanket flower (Gaillardia pulchella) dares to bloom in a sea of green, a beacon of color against the muted blurred background. Its fiery hues seem to dance in the sunlight, a reminder of nature's vibrant palette. This wildflower is a striking blend of yellow and red petals that are pinked (pinnatifid) on the edges atop a tall perfectly straight stem. Soft bokeh effects in the background enhance the dreamy, serene and minimalist atmosphere. Thank you for viewing this image.
