Schopf-Tintling

A macro capture of the pistil and stamens of the Tibouchina flower.

The stamens are shaped like

'sickels' and is very difficult to pick a focal plane. Here I have decided to focus the tips only and throwing the rest out of focus and let the purple and green colours to fill the frame.

A colorful, sensual flower; an impression; light from the back, some alignment, and my trusty Vivitar 105mm Series 1 Macro. Captured out in Richmond, California. Lit by the powerful California sun.

It's the middle of the summer and we're finally seeing quite a lot of Monarch butterflies floating through the air and gracing our gardens.

I found this beauty at the lakeshore, resting on a dried Purple Goat's Beard blossom that has already seeded out.

Once again, a 'macro' captured with my telephoto lens.

Enlarge for a more immersive view.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

For the livingroom, “Parrot Tulips”

Have a great MM, dear Flickr friends! 😉

No Group Banners, thanks.

A macro capture, taken on the surface of a small pond. The water was completely frozen with a lot of gas bubble inclusions which, I suppose, came up from decomposing organic material on the ground.

Macro capture of a Pacific Tree Frog (also known as a Chorus Frog).

Macro Mondays 25/09/17 theme Zodiac.Macro capture of the scales on my Yellow Tailed Damsel Fish.This was taken through the glass when she decided to come out from behind the rocks in the tank.It took a few takes to get an OK shot as the camera kept locking on to the glass and she kept on going back behind the rocks when the camera or my hand moved.

It's so much fun to play with macro captures that come out painterly or abstract :)
