If you didn't see the fragile sticker on the outside of the box, I make sure you notice it on the inside.
Taken at the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo, Symonds Yat. Captioned 'fragile' beause their lifespan is only 16 days and we saw many dying off there.
This is one of my favourite kinds of mushroom to try and photograph - it was only about half an inch across, growing on a rotting log in Brown-Lowery Provincial Park on 4 August 2012. The cap is very thin and delicate and had a beautiful pattern and sparkle. I didn't see all that many fungi growing in the park and quite a few of them were not photogenic at all - I never go very far into the area, as I find it a very creepy place to be. However, I knew that at least one or two of my birder friends were going to be there that morning, so I knew that I wouldn't be there in bear and cougar territory completely on my own, ha.
I do love shooting macros and continue to experiment with this photographic style. I have found that I can get pseudo-macro results with my 18-200 lens by putting it in manual focus, instead of auto-focus. For some reason I can get closer to the subject in manual, within 12 inches or less. On auto-focus I can only get within 18 inches or so, which just doesn't cut it for a macro. I am sure there is some technical explanation for that but I don't know it! In this case though I used my Hoya Macro Filters, which I enjoy quite a bit and you can read my review of them here: www.nomadicpursuits.com/hoya-macro-filter-review/
ODC: Fragile. My daughter spotted this in the wetlands, Huntley Meadows, park today, which is a very fragile ecosystem. This is a rare sight of frog layer her eggs.
I'm not keeping track of time, so darling wont you stand aside and let love heal all that hurt divides, it's fragile now.

Looking at these fragile and hauntingly beautiful cherry blossoms being blown around in the rain just reminded me of the frailty of humanity.
Lets take a moment to remember the victims of the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
Here's a picture dedicated to all the survivors and victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
Another experiment with a "flipped" lens, this time using a small hole punched in a post-it in front of the lens to attempt to get a wider DoF.
The subject is one of those laser-etched souvenirs that glow when you put a light under them, or at least a part of one.

Blown, hot-worked glass
Three petals, three stamens, and a pistil appear as if they have fallen from a giant lily. One of the petals bears the faint inscription "Heartbeat" and another, "Fragility." The delicacy of the glass flowers is reminiscent of the transitory nature of life, which can be vibrant one minute and gone the next.
