Eastern Sierras and sunrise go together like peanut butter and jelly. This one was definitely worth getting up for. The beauty unFOLDed on the ground and in the sky.
This is one of our large garden bumble bees - bombus ruderatus, making its way into a fuchsia flower. I love the way it folded its wings back and its legs too so that it's quite difficult to tell which are the bee's legs and which are the flower's stamens. The flower was in dark shade and the bee was animated so the focus wasn't great. Anything that this garden celebrity does is OK by me so I uploaded it anyway.

For Macro Mondays: Paper theme
This was created using a 4" square of paper folded into fourths-- so the thin paper edge is 2" top to bottom--within the parameters set for Macro Mondays.
I started my project using a 6" square folded into fourths, but found it didn't allow me to shoot the image within the 3" boundary. I then cut and folded a 5" square which gave me 2.5"and it was still too large. Finally, a 4" square allowed me to get the image I wanted within the limitations of the group.
I was really loving the various images and sizes of the folded squares, so I stacked them and created some pretty cool "sculptures" one of which is in my Photostream.
Had a difficult time deciding which photo to post to the group out of over a hundred shots, so if you want to see more, there are few I've made public.

Happy new week, friends!
Macro Mondays - Cloth
This week we had to photograph cloth.
I chose one of my Mum's head scarves. Her favourite colour was green and this brought back lots of memories of her … I had to iron this first and there were little bits of her make-up still on the scarf, and yet it must have been many years since she wore it.
At the Wooden Boat Festival the 1913 Schooner Adventuress it taking folks for a cruise with some hands-on sail work.
The schooner Adventuress crew members are assisting some of us in doing some sail handling. Only the crew members were allowed to hang out over the stern. We are accordion-folding the huge mainsail into a neat stack as the gaff is lowered. There is a pattern to it as folks on opposite sides push the folds in place. The mainsail is about the size of a basketball court. www.soundexp.org
