Here's the latest update on my Chilean Lantern Tree. It looks to be one of the best shows it's had in many a year. (Tricuspidaria hookerianum). I 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.
A macro capture of some lovely 'Honeysuckle' 'Lonicera' I took last week.. best on black.. just click on image
HGGT..!! Thanks for your lovely comments..
Santa brought me a late Christmas present ... indirectly. My eldest daughter who also 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 with the LED Ring Light attached to the end of the lens. Was also taking these captures with the lens connected to the 7D Mark II body. The one image was taken back a little to get the entire Hershey Kiss in the frame ... liked how the LED Ring light worked here, still creating shadows nicely giving the image some nice depth ... then the light came in real nice with the capture taken above very close in for the extreme magnification of the candy's paper wrap. Without the ring light, the candy would have been in complete shadow from the overhead kitchen light. Neither image is cropped, so when viewed large, the details in the paper wrap are quite amazing.
BTW ... by having the 100mm around for portraits, my daughter will be happy now as my 5 year old trusty Sigma 70/200 f2.8 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.
A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having specialised tissues that conduct water and nutrients and in having life cycles in which the sporophyte is the dominant phase.

Blink and it was gone! Great while it lasted :)

These Allium Siculums are beginning to unfurl in my garden. They need a thin garden cane to help support them at this stage.
Nectaroscordum (Allium).
Alliums are part of the onion family. They bloom with bell-shaped flowers offering reddish-purple markings as you can see. Known as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells, is a European and Turkish species of plants genus Allium. It is native to the regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and grown in other regions as an ornamental and as a culinary herb.

TGIF.. thanks for looking.. have a great day..
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.

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.

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 :)
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.

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.
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.

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.
