The embers of a Farewell Daffodil (Narcissus), from my garden. Sadly bowing out for this season. Yet it eeks out beauty in macro.
From my garden, Ferns to Flickr. They are steadily unfolding and now's the perfect time to get some macro shots.
Fern: Polypodiopsida, Polypodiophyta

Old Man's Beard (Clematis Vitalba). Also known as, Traveller’s Joy and Scrambles.
Like other members of the Clematis genus, old man's beard or traveller's joy climbs (or scrambles ) over other plants using its leaf stalks (petioles) and flower stalks. The leaves are not unlike the familiar garden forms of Clematis. The leaf stalks entwine around any convenient support / structure in their vicinity and then lignify (become woody).
The leaves are described as opposite and 1-pinnate, that is, they have one pair of leaflets opposite to each other plus one terminal leaflet.
As the plant grows and matures, it forms woody stems which can be as thick as a wrist; the plant can grow to a height of 40 feet or more.
The flowers appear in August and September. When the plant has finished flowering, the developing seeds (known as achenes - an achene is a one seeded fruit) retain part of the flower – the style. This has long, silky hairs, which form the grey tufted balls that are so conspicuous in some woodlands and hedgerows in autumn and winter. These are, indeed, the 'old man's beard'. These silky structures are important in the dispersal of the seeds.
Seen at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham.

A macro capture of Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum Sativus Group; syn. D. sativus) with its beautiful sculptural form and seed head in autumn. I really like their form and have a little fascination for them.
Teasel was used in wool “fleecing” (raising the nap on woolen cloth) and was used in textile processing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics. A valued horticulture plant which led to its introduction in North America as early as the 1700s.
Seen this fella lurking in my garden. European Garden Spider (Araneus Diadematus)
Shot freehand, a little closer than I actually wanted to be. It's core web was around 18 inches with the anchors reaching out some 3-4 feet away.
There so many superb macro captures of daffodils on Flickr at the moment that I hesitated for a long time before deciding to go ahead and post my best attempt! The Spring is so very welcome this year that I really wanted to celebrate with a shot from our garden!

Everything parks and gardens had to be documented at Clumber. Times change, how things are recorded ebb and flow, but good old QWERTY is still King.

The Photinia Red Robin, also known as "Christmas berry 'Red Robin' (Photinia × fraseri), I have is looking marvellous as ever right now. Here you can see panicles of small white flowers with an (unknown) insect wandering around.
It's a hardy evergreen and I tend to prune it to a height of about 5 feet.

In Ithe woodland there's a little spider who's created his web of deceit. Now he waits patiently for his friend(s) to come knocking.
Seen at The National Trust's Hardwick Park, Derbyshire.
Seen this little fella while at Clifton Grove Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.
[it's a still from a video file]
It is one of the commonest garden butterflies, found throughout lowland England and Wales with a wingspan of 63mm. It's unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice, that confront this butterfly head-on, where the body forming a "beak".
Watch the video :)

Another from my garden. Perhaps my favourite flower. A burst of sunshine yellow to add to the colourful fauna at this time of year!
The perennial Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’. You may know it with another name, Coneflowers, Asteraceae, Black Eyed Susans, Rudbeckia Fulgida, Goldsturm.

the tiny spikes and delicate pleasing colour drew me to get a shot of this alpine plant, or perhaps a wild weed growing in clusters on rocks n stones.

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.

Burdock (Arctium Minus). Here towards the end of its season.
The Burdock is a very common wild food plant found across the UK and again like lots of edible Wild Plants is considered a weed. The Burdock is found all over the UK and likes grassland, woodland, hedgerows and wastelands that are relatively untouched by human hand so that it can complete its two year lifecycle. The Burdock can get quite large during is two years and sometimes hits nearly 2 metres in height.
Seen at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham.

The patterns & forms that can be found in nature often appear to be from another world when looked at up close. With some creative color enhancements and cropping adjustments, this close up photograph creates that sense of the unknown. Perhaps this is the surface of a yet-to-be visited planet? Or is it possibly a macro capture of some rust spotted on a forgotten car.
Actually this abstract image comes as the result of a photograph I took in Oklahoma last year. The original picture is of some heavily textured tree bark, covered in lichen. The shadows and the flow have that organic character and sense of depth that only nature can provide.
