Third time's the charm. The first two photos weren't as clear, and as soon as I took this shot, the spider scurried off to the back of the leaf.
The 1914-15 Star is a military war medal from the First World War. It was never awarded singly and always awarded with two other medals. The three medals were (irreverently) nicknamed Pip, Squeak and Wilfred after a strip cartoon, popular in the day, and published in the Daily Mirror and Sunday Pictorial. The cartoon strip ran from 1919 until 1956. Source, Wikipedia.

This color sure looks better on this screen than it does on me :-}}}
Water didn't stick. Oil and water didn't stick (not sure why I thought THAT would work). Have some magnesium oil spray. That stuck. Not sure what it's doing to the lipstick but, hey, it's not my color anyway... I only bought it for this shoot :)
Happy Macro Monday!!
Macro taken in the rain with this water droplet on the leaf collecting up the fallen pollen as well.
Liked this one as it was near the edge of the leaf.
Happy Slider Sunday
"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy." - Anne Frank. There was a tree that she could catch a glimpse of from an attic window in the place where they were in hiding. She managed to find beauty while immersed in the depths of ugliness. This is a leaf from a huge Water Oak that is in our yard. It's not the same kind of tree as that which Anne viewed but I think she would still see the beauty.
This week's theme for Macro Mondays is "Intended Contact"... and there is definitely intended contact when it comes to a predator and its prey! In this photo a Green Jumping Spider has captured and killed a Soldier Fly more than twice its size.

Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants, the namesakes of the family Passifloraceae.
They are mostly vines, with some being shrubs, and a few species being herbaceous.
De vlindertuin van de Botanische tuinen in Utrecht is de ideale speeltuin om een beetje te oefenen met een macrolens. Geen flauw idee wat voor vlinder dit is trouwens :)
I had a few thoughts for the theme like calendars, watches, correct tape, pencil, calculator, etc. I took the easy way 😉 of using pencil.
I like it as it helped the environment reducing the use of wood or the need to carry a sharpener around. Traditional pencils are still needed for sketching purpose.
I shot a few arrangements in colors but decided to use the splash function on phone to preserve the shades of red, giving a nostalgia feel.
