RHS Wisley

29th August 2021

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!

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

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.

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.

Waiting for the dusky night, the function is lost by the twilight

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.

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.

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

Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

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

I always look for pumpkins with fun stems.

12 - 24mm wide angle lens used near to the stem to give that long stem effect.

This flower was just taken from a vase of flowers and held up to the sky for the shot.

Just a quick sharpen and contrast boost added and a little lens flare just for effect !
