We were paddle camping this weekend and one night camped in a very horsefly rich area :( This one bit the fool out of my calf resulting in a small rivulet of my blood trickling down my leg, but he paid the ultimate price.
After first reading the title of the theme for this week, "Monochrome", I thought of "black & white". But it's interpretation here is "shades of the same colour". This gives more freedom and is more fun. I hunted my desk to find things in the same shade and found this 3D-printed lens-cap and a notebook, in GREEN!
...said the spider to the fly..
Supermacro shot, made pretty much with diy additions to my lens.. Check the other fly shot for a rundown. (total cost about £10)

real size of the red blossoms
~ 1 cm diameter
Durchmesser der roten Blüte etwa 1 cm

die weiblichen Haselnussblüten sind winzig und unscheinbar,
lediglich ihre roten, winzigen Narben schauen aus der noch geschlossenen Zweigknospe heraus.
Die Blüten erscheinen lange vor dem Laubaustrieb. Blütezeit: Februar bis April.
Hier bilden sich die Nussfrüchte, 16-18 mm lang, zu 1-3 beieinander liegend, Nüsse aus dem Fruchtbecher ragend.

Mit einer Wünschelrute aus einer Haselzweiggabel lassen sich Wasseradern, Erzgänge und verborgene Schätze finden.
In der Sexualsymbolik gilt die Haselnuß als Sinnbild der Wolllust und der Fruchtbarkeit, der Haselstrauch selbst als beliebter Ort der außerehelichen Liebe.
Daher rührt die Redewendung "in die Haseln gehen". Und trägt diese Liebe noch Früchte, so sind die Kinder eben "aus der Hasel entsprungen".

With separate male and female flowers on the same plant, both species of hazelnut enlist the assistance of the wind in their pollination efforts. The flowers bloom before the leaves emerge, increasing the odds that the wind will successfully transport the pollen grains from the male flowers to a compatible female flower, since there are no leaf surfaces to impede the pollination effort.
Die rote weibliche Blüte misst ca. 1 mm im
Durchmesser und 5 mm in der Länge. Sie ist daher sehr unscheinbar.
Die weibliche Blüte ist rot, klein und unscheinbar; sie gleicht einer Knospe, aus der rote Narben heraus hängen.
Die Hasel ist monözisch, d. h. eine Pflanze verfügt über weibliche und männliche Blütenstände.
Weibliche Blütenstände in Anthese.
Die Hasel hat ihre Blütezeit im Februar/März vor dem Laubaustrieb und ist als Frühblüher ein wichtiger Pollenlieferant für Honigbienen.
An warmen, sonnigen Wintertagen werden allerdings nur die männlichen Kätzchen angeflogen, da die weiblichen Blüten weder duften noch Nektar anbieten.
Die Haselnuss wächst bevorzugt an Waldrändern, bildet aber auch Hecken im Brachgelände. Sie braucht nährstoffreichen, lehmigen Boden und viel Licht.
Die Haselnuss ist mit 15 Arten auf der nördlichen Halbkugel verbreitet; in den Alpen findet man sie bis zu einer Höhe von 1800 m.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeine_Hasel
Die Bestäubung erfolgt in jedem Fall durch den Wind (Anemophilie), die Blüten sind daher recht unscheinbar. Ein einziges Kätzchen enthält etwa 2 Millionen Pollenkörner.
Mit etwa zehn Jahren tragen die Sträucher das erste Mal Früchte.
Der Botanische Gattungsname Corylus
ist die lateinische Bezeichnung für den Hasel gewesen.
Der Artname avellana bedeutet „aus Avellino (Italien) stammend, weil die Römer den Haselnussstrauch nach Italien brachten, in der Provinz Avellino anbauten und veredelten.

The harvesting of hazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts. Common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in Europe, Turkey (75%), Iran and the Caucasus.
The name "hazelnut" applies to the nuts of any of the species of the genus Corylus. This hazelnut, the kernel of the seed, is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste.
The seed has a thin, dark brown skin, which has a bitter flavour and sbould be removed before cooking.
Turkish hazelnut production of 625,000 tonnes (689,000 tons) accounts for approximately 75% of worldwide production.
Italia:
Ferrero: Nutella ( a cream of hazelnuts and cocoa) , including Ferrero Rocher, Pocket Coffee, Mon Chéri, Giotto, Confetteria Raffaello coconut cream candy, Hanuta chocolate hazelnut-filled wafers, consumes 25% of global supply.

I'm having fun and also frustration with stacking as the automation software all has problems.
Sometimes it works, sometimes I end up manually controlling each step in the stack.

Sometimes it says that the water is the life itself.... thats why I thought this could be a good idea for the National Geographic Photocontest 2009. Another entry for it.
Many Thanks ofr everybody all the comments and prizes!! And thanks LcZimm for the 50.. objective to borrow it to me!

I know that these are really ~ geisha ~'s flowers, but I hope you don't mind me borrowing one for a while, my friend... I needed something blue today....
Straight from the camera except for a small crop, Powershot S3 IS, SuperMacro setting, hand held.
Many thanks to Dianne & Harry for lending me your beautiful garden to play in on Sunday!!
Zoom in ... shot in SuperMacro with the lens in his face. The Blue dashers are lovin' a dead tree near Little River. North Georgia
There are no special Photoshop effects here.. just a super macro shot of an unopened Morning Glory bud. This one is made by inverse mounting a 28/2.8 old AI'd lens.
Algún día echarán a andar...
Aqui estaba probando el nuevo filtro difusor de flash a base de 3 filtros de café con el modo super-macro a unos 10 cm y.......Post edit With LR. Aunque la original tambien salió bastante bien.
It is fascinating how nature organizes living structures. One can see the single eggs surounded by a gelatous material. Great. I like it.
Now you can see a frontal view of the prepared European stalk-eyed fly. The width of its head is about 2mm. Taken with Canon EOS 5D and JML 21/3.5 lens on approx. 180mm bellows. Made from 100 shots in 0,01mm increments.
When i read this week's MM theme 'arrow', I immediately knew which arrow i was going to shoot (no pun intended...). The arrow shaped clip of my Parker fountain pen.
Shooting it with the entire arrow within the DOF was not as easy as I thought. Finally settled on an 'overhead' shot which led to a white vignette, due to the ringflash. I decided to embrace that as a nice touch. ;-)
HMM to all!
Focus stacked. Suffered somewhat from lying around dead in my office, so a bit dusty!

The Macro Mondays themes I like best are the ones that have me sitting at the kitchen table with a macro rig on Sunday evening.
This week's theme 'Rust" is one of these great themes. I first went out into the garden scouting for rusty iron, which I found in this plant stand with iron wires.
Back to the kitchen, set up macro rig and choose which part to shoot with which lighting. I decided that minimal light coming from the side would expose the rusty surface best.
I chose the 'supermacro' lens (converted old analogue Canon 35-80) on it's most magnifying setting (80mm).
It was a fun theme shoot, HMM to all!
