Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus). One of a pair. They have been nesting in my garden for the past several years. Absolutely delightful to see them back again.

Makroaufnahme eines Rüsselkäfers (Curculionidae) auf einer weißen Blüte. Der Rüsselkäfer, bekannt für seinen charakteristischen langen Rüssel, gehört zu einer der artenreichsten Familien im Tierreich. Das Bild ist ein Stack aus 22 Aufnahmen, wodurch die feinen Details des Käfers und der Blütenblätter deutlich hervorgehoben werden. Die Textur des Käfers sowie die Staubblätter der Blüte sind klar erkennbar. Rüsselkäfer ernähren sich meist von Pflanzen und sind wichtige Bestäuber, aber einige Arten können auch als Schädlinge auftreten.
Macro photograph of a weevil (Curculionidae) on a white blossom. The weevil, known for its distinctive long snout, belongs to one of the most diverse families in the animal kingdom. This image is a stack of 22 shots, which highlights the fine details of the beetle and the petals. The texture of the beetle and the stamens of the flower are clearly visible. Weevils primarily feed on plants and are important pollinators, although some species can also be pests.
Well first off let me say that Santa brought me a late Christmas present ... indirectly. My eldest daughter who is into photography like me gave me a LED light ring for taking macro captures. She thought it would be cool to use. The issue was that I really did not have a macro lens, and also all my lenses have 77mm filter rings ... and the light kit only had adapters up to 67mm.
She was disappointed when I told her this, and was going to return it and see if she could get a LED light kit for larger lenses ... I told her NOT to, and that this was FINALLY my sign to go ahead and get the Macro lens. I had been toying with getting the 100mm 2.8 by Canon for well over a year now figuring it would be great for portraits and also taking true macros.
Mrs. Krach was fine with me taking the plunge with the new lens, and I ordered it Christmas night. Amazingly without even express shipping, the lens arrived today already (guess the delivery trucks are empty ;)
So yeah, after working all day at the office, quite the fun to come home and start testing it out.
This capture here was taken on the full frame camera hand held pretty much at the 1:1 magnification of one of the lights on our Christmas tree. Certainly cannot even see this detail when staring at the light (with my bifocals), but was really amazed when viewing the capture there of the small solar system there inside the end of the Christmas Light.
Will now be trying out the lens and taking the same capture with the Canon 7D Mark II, which should get us even closer in magnification. Maybe it will reveal some small moons around those planets :)
Who needs Hubble anyways ...
Also will be harassing the dogs taking some portraits in the low light ... they will be thrilled no doubt.
BTW ... by having the 100mm around for portraits, my daughter will be happy now as my 5 year old Sigma 70/200 2.8 that I was using as my portrait lens, she will be able to now 'borrow'. Hence I think this was her whole idea all along by getting me the LED filter ring light.
My eyes are definitely bigger than yours...

English Daisy (Bellis Perennis). To be honest I never knew it was a daisy until I used Google Lens to check it out. There's me thinking there is only one type of Daisy, when of course, that's the collective term. The green fingers out there will have a wry smile on their faces.

Macro capture of the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, an all-time classic :-)
Vivid red to get you in the mood for an exciting weekend!
Best viewed Large, On Black.
Chilean Lantern Tree (Crinodendron Hookerianum)
Have this tree growing in relative shade. Must be getting on for 10 years old or more. Once in a while it gets pruned to promote new growth. If left alone it would be quite tall and wide, I have it around 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide.
C. hookerianum is a dense, hardy medium-sized evergreen shrub to 6m, with rigid, narrow, dark green leaves and fleshy, lantern-shaped, crimson flowers 2.5cm in length from late spring to late summer.

My garden. My Acer is now 14 years old and has never failed to delight year on year with its green foliage.
Acer Palmatum, commonly known as Japanese Maple or Palmate Maple.
Best viewed full screen. Looks far better on a PC/Laptop monitor.

The times we now live in.
Large monument with rope detailing with padlock to secure the rope from being stolen. even though there are countess CCTV in the area. So it became my focus for the shot.
Didn't know whether or not to upload this knot. At first it looked a bit ropy, after a little tightening up, the knot became clear. Not what I was expecting. Perhaps a little out of my depth of field? or a twist on the original shot. Anyway it seemed to strike a cord along the way. I finally decided to upload the knot shot, not the original, not tomorrow, not next week but today, whether you like it or not :)
(Slight Crop).. Macro capture of a lovely clematis bloom.. View On Black
TGIF.. thanks for looking.. have a great day..
Dragonflies are among the oldest insects on Earth, and their eyes, composed of numerous ommatidia, allow them to see almost 360 degrees around them. This makes them some of the most skilled predators in aerial hunting.
I'm not a fan of the Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus). Constantly feeding n shitting everywhere. This 'flying rat' and his mates visit my garden throughout the day. Makes ya wonder how they can take off with all the food they eat.
