A bright new day
a fresh glow
smile in my lips
excitement in my fingertips
morning sunshine in my hair
sweet soft breeze in the air
A gentle sunset
brilliant skies
a happy happy mood
given a sight where I stood
Ahhh a delightful colour palette
so happy to celebrate...
An Imago Thursday...
*For our dear dear friend Virginia, a.k.a. imago2007... :)
(Behind-the-scene: A macro capture of one of my wife's Pink Hibiscus'. The light the afternoon I shot this was just perfect. Cara was trying to shake the bloom but I was able to distract her some by showing her a tiny lady bug from beside me. LOL! That yellow green in the background was a banana leaf hit by sweet afternoon sunrays. I am going to miss my Hibiscus and Banana plants especially when winter gets into full swing.)

From my garden. Ferns to Flickr. They are steadily unfolding and now's the perfect time to get some macro shots.

I don't know what type of Rose (Rosa) this is. It's been in my garden as long I can remember.

A fallen pine cone (conifer cone). A whole new world in macro. Must revisit macro shots :)

A delicate macro capture revealing the hidden beauty of nature. The warm golden tones, soft textures, and fine details invite us to slow down and explore the wonders that often go unnoticed.
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.

National Trust. Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. Autumn 2022.
A selection of shots taken at The National Trust's Clumber Park, capturing a hint of Autumn towards the end of November, late afternoon as Dusk was falling.
Clumber Park is a beautiful expanse of parkland, heath and woods covering more than 3,800 acres. It offers freedom to discover a ducal park - explore picturesque parkland and gardens, peaceful woodlands and a magnificent lake. Not only is Clumber's mosaic of habitats home to an amazing array of wildlife, it is listed Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

New growth of this tree was fairly low to the ground hence being able to get these shots in the woodland of Hodsock Priory, Nottinghamshire.

Magpie. (Pica pica). Part of the Crow family.
I often see around half a dozen magpies locally. In pairs and singular. Their sound is very distinctive at any time of the day. They certainly make their presence known to other birds. Clever, intelligent birds, some say they are able to mimic sounds. I wonder if they mimic the sound of other birds as some kind of defence mechanism or predatory reasons?

Magpies are on the Green list. Species on the green list are the least critical group.

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.
Knot the best of shots, it's a little ropey. That's the best I could string together - Don't take a fence :)

Red Robin Tree (Photinia × fraseri) in my garden.
Initially looks like it's sun scorched. As the leaves emerge and expand the tips 'die' only to be replaced by new growth.
Sometimes known as Christmas berry 'Red Robin' and from the Rosaceae family.
This little strap or rose tie with date on caught my eye while at Attenborough Nature Reserve. Clearly the nature reserve has a significant meaning for the parents to be. Good luck, who ever you are! :)
Are they expecting a girl?

Fern (Polypodiopsida).
Fern is widespread and often overlooked to some degree. With the advent of Spring they begin their new growth. Fascinating to capture the macro moments and colours they hold at this stage.
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.
Tiny Grass flower in my lawn.

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.

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.
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.

Seen this in the churchyard of The Parish Church of St George. Barton in Fabis. (St George's Church)
