Happy Bokeh Wednesday / 7DWF Wednesday: Macro
最不捨這個花季...
Is that you, spring?
“I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.”

Should I dare? This tiny crab spider is wondering ;-) But then she crawled around for a while and back and forth ... I find it funny that this type of spider can change its color ;-)

Ob ich mich trauen soll? Das fragt sich diese winzige Krabbenspinne wohl gerade ;-) Doch dann krabbelte sie noch eine Weile herum und hin und her ... Witzig finde ich, dass diese Spinnenart ihre Farbe wechseln kann ;-)

A little light in the dark can be helpful – should not be forgotten :-) I wish all those suffering from the desease some light and not to be forgotten. And I hope a smile lights up your face – maybe that helps a little bit too.
I wish everyone a nice weekend and a happy SoS!
Dedicated to "ME / CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day" on May 12.

Etwas Licht im Dunkeln kann vielleicht hilfreich sein – sollte man nicht vergessen. Etwas Licht und ein Nicht-Vergessen wünsche ich allen Betroffenen. Und ich hoffe, ein Lächeln leuchtet im Gesicht – das hilft vielleicht auch ein ganz klein wenig.
Ich wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende und einen glücklichen SoS!
Gewidmet dem Tag "ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day" on May 12.

#InternationalWomensDay
#March8
Not a ladybird which might have been a slightly more appropriate "supermodel" for International Women's Day because of its name, but an equally pretty Cryptocephalus bipunctatus. The whole supermodel thing is a relic of the past anyway, but unfortunately, we still haven't freed ourselves from questionable beauty "ideals" that often come across as beauty dictates. Social media and "influencers" don't make it any easier, especially not for the younger generation that is exposed (and exposes itself) to what one might call the "daily dose of beauty brainwash", recently taken to the next level with the all-new "beauty filters".
In Berlin (and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, one of Germany's Northern federal states), March 8 is an official holiday, but not (yet?) in the other 14 of our 16 federal states. So this Wednesday – where all shops, schools, etc. are closed (and the weather is too ghastly to go outside – winter made a snowy-wet, cold reappearance) – feels like a very quiet, lazy Sunday, and I have too much time for writing rants instead of simply letting you enjoy this adorable, brightly orange beetle, a member of the so-called "Fallkäfer" (Cryptocephalinae) subfamily of the leaf beetle family. The name "Fallkäfer" (a beetle that falls or drops) derives from their distinctive habit of dropping abruptly when disturbed. This image also is a true oldie, I've taken it back in June 2017 at the beautiful public park Britzer Garten. The focus is ever so slightly off and more on the plant than on the beetle itself, but I think it's still sharp enough in general.
Wishing all of my female Flickr friends a Happy International Women's Day!

I had promised to show a solution for the "yellow snail". Here is another macro that shows a little more ;-)

The common evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is one of the naturalized neophytes in Central Europe, since it was introduced as an ornamental plant from North America to Europe around 1620. It is now so widespread in Europe that most people perceive it as a native species. / Wikipedia

Die Gemeine Nachtkerze (Oenothera biennis) zählt in Mitteleuropa zu den eingebürgerten Neophyten, da sie um 1620 als Zierpflanze von Nordamerika nach Europa eingeführt wurde. Mittlerweile ist sie in Europa so weiträumig verbreitet, dass sie von den meisten Menschen als einheimische Art wahrgenommen wird. / Wikipedia

One of the winter aconites was particularly cheeky and particularly stretched himself into the air. As if it wanted to catch the sun in the sky. Be the first ;-)

... it doesn't matter , big or tiny,
perfect or imperfect,
big brooms know every corner,
tiny brooms smile tears,
both are floating,
sometimes ...
Stay safe out there everyone!!

The harvest was early this year. I think it looked like autumn already in July at some places – so this picture fits better now ;-)

Die Ernte war früh in diesem Jahr. Ich finde, es sah zu der Zeit im Juli bereits an manchen Stellen nach Herbst aus – also passt dieses Bild besser jetzt ;-)

This distinctive bumblebee first arrived in the UK in 2001.
As its name suggests it prefers to nest in trees, also using bird boxes and buildings.

#MacroMondaysOuttake
#Keepsake
I don't post MM outtakes often anymore, but this time it had been a really difficult choice between two images, and I also didn't want this image to end up in a permanent hard drive slumber. So here is MM choice No 2 that simply didn't make it to the group's pool because it looks a little weird (I like it weird, though), and not as elegant as my official upload. Most of the weirdness here probably derives from the fact that I had taken some photos with the watch placed upside down (and rotated this one to the left twice in LR) because it was easier to get a clear image of the 12 and the moving cursor at the same time this way.
Some of you may know that my Dad's watch had officially been declared "out of order for good" by a watchmaker many years ago and that it had miraculously started to work again when I photographed it for our November 2022 theme "Vintage". Well, I'm happy to say that it still runs happily and steadily, and this so much so that it runs really fast because it apparently always likes to be ahead of (the correct) time – but that doesn't matter at all as long as it keeps working ;)
What surprisingly also still works, is the lume on the hour and minute hand, even if it only glows for a few seconds after being activated by a strong light source. In this image, however, the lume glows courtesy of a few Lightroom sliders ("Lightlume") because it had not even crossed my mind to activate the lume during my MM Keepsake photo shoot. To make it look glowing, I masked the lume part, increased the whites, and tweaked the tone in the white balance menu. The fan-like effect on the moving second hand once again is a result of using the in-camera Live ND filter. And the colourful texture in the upper left corner is the Nato strap I keep the watch on. The watch has an unusual 19mm lug width and curved spring bars on top of that, and an 18mm Nato strap was the easiest way to fit it with a fresh-looking new strap (ordered from Esprit Nato in Paris because that's the only store that offers almost all the different colours and patterns a Nato strap can have with gold hardware).
Happy Mittwochsmakro, and happy hump day as well :)
