The Alliums in my garden are coming out :) This particular type is the Allium Siculum. Also know as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells. What ever you know it as, it's a lovely perennial plant and delightful to see bees pollinate them from below.
Look closely and you will see the Cobwebs on this narrowboat tv aerial. No doubt its great for the internet too, world wide web :)

"Spider web" is typically used to refer to a web that is apparently still in use (i.e. clean), whereas "cobweb" refers to abandoned (i.e. dusty) webs.

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.
A short time ago I uploaded this plant just as it was bursting through its thin skin, Wow! take a look at it now.
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.
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.

I love taking photos of rain droplets on little moss plants, or other tiny plants. You never know what the camera will reflect and magnify, and I do enjoy opening the pictures in the computer to see what's there. Often the detail has been so tiny, I've been unable to see it with my eyes.

Belated HNY greetings friends !
Sorry for my absence and lack of input on your posts - losing one's photo mojo after my mother passed away and a Christmas infection laid me low, required finding a new toy to play with to invigorate it again!
Using a cheapish Neewer NW-14EXT Macro Ring Lite set at a power output of 1/128th, and holding the flash off-the-lens on manual mode at f1.8 provided me with some reasonable macro captures.
A degree of trial and error is required to achieve a decent exposure, but shooting in raw provided more latitude for post-image adjustments. I had thought this type of flash would be a bit of an image killer, resulting in rather bland even lighting, but used experimentally, and at an effective angle, the results have been rather pleasing.
I used three extension tube rings, coupled with my AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D to make the shot, hand held.

House Sparrow (Passer Domesticus)
Perhaps the most common bird in the UK, certain is to my garden, along with other types of sparrows. Great little birds, full of character, always flitting about in groups or alone. I've seen em' be very protective come feeding time and often attack each other letting each other know in no uncertain terms, who is the more dominant. Males sport a grey cap and black bib, the size of which indicates their status. I've watched n filmed them, to the untrained eye, its looks almost nothing when they shunt each other about, but in slow motion, each is a full on attack! Feisty little buggers! Fun too!
Thought that this aqua agate, surrounded by a sea of colorful quartz, made for a pretty, gemstone, macro capture. Love to hunt for agates and spent many summers doing so on the south shore of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Thanks #boxheadmike for the idea while sheltering-in-place!

“Las polillas del gusano de bolsa (bagworm moths) de la familia Psychidae, se encuentran en todo el mundo, con 1.350 especies descritas. El nombre se deriva de los hábitos de sus larvas. Las orugas de las polillas del gusano de la bolsa construyen pequeñas fundas protectoras o bolsas de seda y materiales ambientales como arena, tierra o materiales vegetales.
Las larvas de las polillas del gusano de bolsa (bagworm moths) viven en estuches protectores que fabrican con su propia seda más materiales vegetales u otros desechos. Estas cajas en forma de huso cuelgan de las plantas alimenticias que están comiendo.
Jim Rathert.
Las orugas de la familia Psychidae (o gusanos de bolsa -Bagworm Moth-) pasan toda su vida dentro de una bolsa de seda a menudo decorada / disfrazada con lo que encuentran a su alrededor, ya sean hojas sueltas, agujas de pino o ramitas. Extienden estas estructuras a medida que crecen, alimentándose de la superficie de la hoja en la base. Las diferentes especies crean estructuras características y utilizan materiales específicos generalmente asociados con su planta huésped.

Seen this little fella while at Clifton Grove Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.
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".

Radioactive ants mutate into giant man-eating monsters that threaten civilization! (The ant is my own macro capture, desert background is public domain...and then of course there's me, worse for wear!)
A lovely burst of spring yellow :) . Seen these Primrose's in the churchyard of The Parish Church of St George. Barton in Fabis. (St George's Church).

Took this at The National Trust's Hardwick Hall Park, Derbyshire. Not sure what it is. Never seen anything like it. It was on the stem of a reed in the water. It's about 3cm in length and 1.5cm in width.
Perhaps its some kind of fungi?
There were no others the same around.
How Bizarre!
Anyone out there know what it is?
