It's a tough job being a new born tiny, weeny Duckling. The hot weather proved all a bit too much for these little balls of fluff. After several minutes splashing around in the water they all swam to shore and huddled up for a nice afternoon siesta.

Decided I was sick of digging through tiny little baggies to get a sticker out everytime I needed it from a different set, so I dumped them all together!
I wish I took this shot today, but it was taken a year ago.
It was completely raining the whole day today so I couldn't really take any shots,
but I was able to dig this one out.
Happy Holidays Everybody!
Yesterday morning we got some snow and I noticed the large starshapes on the top of our plastic recycling container. Wish I had a macro lens.

The snow came as predicted. I is our biggest storm of the year and we ended up getting about 8 inches before it started to melt in the overnight rain. The flakes were the biggest I've ever seen.

There's been so little snow this winter that when I saw the big flakes falling on Feb 6th, I rushed out to take some macro photos. But it was only -2C and the snow was melting. I used a piece of fleece to try to capture some flakes, but by the time I got to press the shutter, the flakes were already in the process of melting.
This one is a two-shot focus stack. Very imperfect, with some stacking artifacts, especially in the background, but I still find the shot interesting enough to publish. Reversed Pentax-M 28-50mm F/3.5-4.5 @28mm, on 32mm of extension, plus diffused off-camera Yongnuo YN-560III. Moderate crop.

Finally had an opportunity to capture a snow flake image. Used my 105mm macro and full set of extension tubes to get almost a 2:1 ratio.
A little odd, but at least it was in one piece, more or less. Usually the wind breaks them up, and I have a snow flake debris field covering my balcony.
Some weird asymmetries in the middle of the flake, I think this is because some elements were on the front and some on the back of the flake - the focus stacking ruins perspective by putting everything in focus. A wobble 3D might be interesting.
It was about -6C, towards the end of our first heavy snow storm of the winter, I went out and collected flakes using a variety of gloves and tuques for them to land on. I then brought the tuques/gloves under cover to photograph the snowflakes.
Although this is a single very tiny "block" of ice, it's actually made up of *four* snowflakes, or parts thereof. Three of them should be fairly obvious - the main, larger one, and the two smaller ones to the left of the frame. But there's also a piece of ice sticking out in a perpendicular fashion at the center of the main flake. (See the notes on this photo.) It's almost impossible to see the piece "sticking out" because the focus stacking has put everything in focus and the piece in the foreground just blends into the background unless you know what to look for. To allow you to see it, I am uploading a second photo - a single frame from this focus stack. Go have a look! :)
Pentax-M 135mm F/3.5 plus coupled reversed Sigma 24-70mm F/3.5-5.6 zoom, with off-camera diffused Godox AD180 flash. I believe this was with the zoom around 30mm, so roughly 4.5:1, plus a fairly heavy crop. Frame should be a tad under 4mm wide. 11-frame handheld focus stack.

I hope everyone had great holidays and new years! :)
I hope to get back into making my doll photos again.
