For this week's Macro Mondays theme "Brush" I've done a series of brushes that cover the subject ... detail is paramount for me, I hope you like them?
The bottlebrush plant, Callistemon citrinus, bears dramatic crimson-red flower spikes, in contrast with dark green, aromatic foliage, in spring and summer. New foliage has a pink-red flush, but darkens with age. Native to Australia, Callistemon citrinus thrives in warm, sheltered conditions, and is susceptible to frost damage.

One of the coolest & colorful trapdoor from Malaysia. Liphistiidae are tube-dwelling spiders that construct rudimentary trap-doors. The burrow entrance is sealed off with a thin door made of soil and moss. The door consists of silk trip-lines (see pic) radiating away from the burrow entrance. Once a prey accidentally brushes against these trip-lines, the trapdoor inside the burrow will be alerted (dinner is ready). Adult males sometimes wander in search of females while females rarely leave their burrows.
There three species of giant-size trapdoors in Malaysia i.e., Liphistius malayanus, Liphistius murphyorum and Liphistius desultor. All Malaysian trapdoor spiders are protected by local law. However, there are a few other trapdoors that are cave dwelling for example Liphistius batuensis, and L.kanthanensis.
Distribution: Liphistius, the sole genus in the subfamily Liphistiinae, is found only in Southeast Asia (Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sumatra).
One of the highlights during our recent herp walk.
This was my second try with Ektachrome after some 'learning experiences' with my first. Still getting the hang of it... Most of my pictures from the early morning came out underexposed, either from metering for the wrong part of the scene or forgetting to account for reciprocity failure. Still though, I really like the low key look of this frame with the distant hill sticking out of the clouds.
Give it another few months and I might try butchering another roll of slide film
This was one of those storms I was on from the very beginning. I saw the anvil explode into the sky and slowly the storm evolved and as it neared me, the structure was amazing. I love this brush-like wall cloud hanging over the Texas prairie.
Brush Creek in Kansas City.
Every time I turn around there's something else neat to photograph in Kansas City!
These are the bristles of a very colorful and funky hairbrush.
Strobist info:
The brush was illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight with snoot, 40-degrees CR, 6" above camera level, and pointed down at subject at a 40-degree angle.
The SB900 was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 -0.7 EV power and was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT-X Pro Macro 100 F2.8 D.
Brush cuckoo in the front yard. I have been hearing a bird call that i haven't recognized before. Finally i got a photo of this bird and from the photo i was able to identify it as a brush cuckoo, another new bird for me. At Marrakai NT Australia.
testing out the new R5 update.
This is the first day in the last four I felt ok, that darn covid booster busted my butt.
