Our little Hazelnut Tree (aka Filbert) has produced nuts this year. Since it's the first year for it we only got a few. These are my favourite nuts, they were my dad's faves too!
This little guy spends most of the day gathering hazelnuts from the trees in the garden.
As there aren't many left now he has to get into some quite precarious positions to reach the last few!

As seen on the curly whirly tree today - that would be the Contorted Hazel in the garden here . Mention hazelnuts and one thinks of the crazy adverts that Cadburys did back in the day - especially the Frank Muir one for Fruit and nut - but here is just one for Whole Hazelnut Chocolate ----
- Candlelit Light Painting Still Life-
Another Still life study with soft macro at candle's light, in the style of the antique Master Painters.
Shot in darkness and painted by highlighting portions of the composition moving a handheld candle in a long exposure.
Light study for a soft tone macro still life with some autumnal crop from my garden, from my neighbors and the woods in the neighborhood. My photography is unmanipulated, no retouching and no post-processure but just a slight routine editing.
I have tried to approach as much as possible the effect of the paintings of a time when the electric light didn't exist yet and, when darkness fell, the painters were used to illuminate the subjects to paint with candles and/or natural torches.
I'd just like to add, once for all, that I don't use any filters, neither on lenses nor in post-production: it's my exigency to reach the "essence", the pure artistic effect via the sole use of my display, the footage setting preparation and shooting ability. Although I am very picky and stubborn, I don't always reach the result expected, sometimes I do beyond my expectations and in any case I like to experiment until I reach something that may be interesting to me.
#WhiteANGEL #LimitEdition (max. 6 Groups)
Chestnuts/castagne, hazelnuts/nocciole, pomegranates/ melograni, one persimmon/cako and one medlar/nespola at soft candlelight in darkness with no artificial light spots.
The black background is a physical "limbo" allowing to create a sort of transparency or absence of the background, saving the macro image from any retouching artifact or manipulation in post-processure and enlightening to emphasize the subjects photographed, depicting them with a good three-dimensionality and even a certain deep of field, notwithstanding the limits of the 2D photography.

In all the years I've lived here I've never seen such a huge crop of hazelnuts on my hazel trees and actually ripening on the trees. Usually by the time they first appear the squirrels have had them away but now there is just one squirrel and I can harvest the bumper crop. I will of course leave a few hundred on the many hazels in my garden for other wildlife to enjoy and/or store for Winter.
I didn't see the little yellow & black spider at the top of the photo :-) Zoom in to see it!

Corylus cornuta var. californica -
small and odd (image about 1.5mm across)
I think C. cornuta, using "Differentiating Corylus avellana & Corylus cornuta var. californica" by Wilbur L. Bluhm, p.34 in www.npsoregon.org/bulletin/2001/NPSO_0103.PDF particularly catkin with short peduncles and 1-2/cluster, but need to look at later date, or help from expert

Pinery with the dense Corylus avellana is the most typical forest type within the Kaluga pine forest area
Such pineries with a dense understory of hazelnut and broadleaved tree species are known as "Subor'" in Russian forestry
