taken by my smartphone, I saw them too cute, an awesome things in my little garden.

A macro detail of a small, polished lace agate slab - it shows some rather pretty patterning, I think, and the red-orange-brown color is natural (of course).

Lanscape macro capture of a piece of broken ice sticking up from a frozen puddle in the foreground, with a pale December sun rising in the background. Photo taken in Hadley, Barnet, Hertfordshire, UK in December 2014.

Hier konnte ich einen wunderschönen C-Falter einfangen der mir in meiner Sammlung noch fehlte 😊

English Bluebells, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, [also known as Native Bluebells] at Bunny Old Wood Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire, which is part of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and English Nature.

The Woodland Trust #BigBluebellWatch

The wood is widely recognised as one of the leading places in the UK to see Native Bluebells and was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Best viewed full screen. Looks far better on a PC/Laptop monitor.

Recently visited Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire. Oldmoor Wood is a woodland in Nottinghamshire, near the village of Strelley. It covers a total area of 15.11 hectares. It is owned and managed by The Woodland Trust.

I went primarily for the beautiful Bluebells. There is a mix of Native and Spanish Bluebells.

Native Bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.

How to tell the difference.

English Bluebells: Flowers on one side of the stem.

Spanish Bluebells: Flowers all around the stem.

Macro capture of Turkeytail mushroom, lichen and moss on Garry oak tree branch in late February.

Garry oak ecosystems range from shady woodlands to open meadows with scattered trees which support many life forms including moss, lichens and fungi. Under the shelter of oak canopies or in meadows, spring wildflowers, grasses, mosses, and a variety of shrubs flourish.

This amazing (and slightly over-the-top) design of a caterpillar is a vapourer or rusty tussock moth (Orgyia antiqua).

I've photographed these before, always on the leaves of the purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), and think they make great subjects for macro captures, but when shooting this one I was a bit annoyed as those fine hairs coming from the red spots kept looking jagged on the camera's display, like the resolution was really really low or something.

Getting them up on the computer monitor however I realized that it was actually the other way around. The hairs are in fact feathered and while previous attempts didn't reveal this, the Canom MP-E65mm lens at 1.5:1 magnification is good enought to pick this up.

Yes, Karen, I chewed through that plant too. Call pest control – see what happens.

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

Fern: Polypodiopsida, Polypodiophyta

Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy

Green Frog (Rana Clamitans Melanota) - Ice Pond, Morse Pond Nature Preserve, Seguinland Road, Georgetown, Maine

Reflected vs. transparent

Why can I see its foot under water?

What's up with that?

I'm thinkin' it's all about physics, and has to do with the angle light is reflected off the water surface plane, surface tension, and periodic changes in the angle of the surface plane (caused by the frog's throat movement during it's breathing cycle). And, that during this capture the frog's throat movement caused the reflection of it's throat to be reflected somewhere other than at the camera, and that's why we can see its foot under water.

Now I'm wishing I had shot a burst¹ so I could see if its throat was reflected in some of the captures, and its foot was visible in others. Oh, well Maybe next time . . .

¹ Multiple captures in fast succession.

But I tend not to do that with macro captures at slow shuttle speeds, since "bursts" will cause the camera to vibrate and cause motion blur in the image. And as you can see I was already wide open at 1/60, with the only way to minimize "camera shake" being high ISO, and who wants high ISO noise in their macros? 👎

Macro capture of beautiful cherry blossoms shot in downtown, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

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.
