Ground cover in the front yard, these start out as tiny barely visible yellow dots and they are growing now daily. More posted tonight.. Rusty and Roma antics as well...
One of my beautiful peony tulips, it's one of my favourites, love the watercolour- effect
of the petals! (Best viewed large)
Macro (close-up) shot of bubble film. Pretty eh!
This is all about lighting. I have a powerful flash unit, and I bounce the light off white paper to diffuse the light. I'd love to take a photo of my lighting setup to show you how I do it, but I only have one camera.
I had to work through disappointment to get this far. I spent an hour or two getting awful photos today. I then went jogging, and while running I kind of realized what I'd been doing wrong. Nice to get moments of clarity like that!
I love my macro lens. But however close I get, I always wonder what 'a bit closer' would look like. I'd love to get more magnification here.
The beauty of a frosty sunny Alberta morning. By the way, the lake is now ice-free and it is sunny and warm (+10C ) today :-)
HBW and thanks for visiting.
Macro Mondays - One Colour ... I wish that I could claim to have seen this on my Intergalactic travels but ... as George Washington reputedly said .."I cannot tell a lie" ..!
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

Macro Magic: Strange Worlds Of Sensual Organs In Tint Flowers - IMRAN™
It was difficult to take this handheld macro photo of flowers in an outdoor architectural planter outside my neighbor's home. It was very windy. I had two German Shepherds on two leashes I was also holding, while carrying two Nikon cameras, the D300 and the D850, testing out some macro photography ideas. But this one with its vivid shades and hues was worth sharing with you.

It's officially fall so I thought I'd kick off the season with a little mushroom magic. What can I say, I'm a fun guy... #punintended

I recently upgraded to a Nikon D200 and this shot was taken with that camera equipped with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens coupled with a Canon 500D closeup filter.
I've decided to sell my gently used Nikon D80.... and before I put it up on eBay, I thought I would mention it here so if any of my Flickr friends have need for a D80 body at a very reasonable price, they could get one from me. I'm going to offer it for $625 - which is $50 below what the lowest used D80 sold for on eBay this week.
Please contact me via Flickr or email if you are interested.

Yep. Here we go again.
I even sweet-talked someone else into starting with me!
And what better way to kick it all off than with some wonderful flickr love. Such amazing women, so full of heart, caring and creativity. I have been blessed to have been able to participate and share.... through all of the pictures, words and flickr love.
Beverly sent this sweet little inspiration bird to me the other day. I was over the moon...... to put it in your words Beverly :) He is traveling..... traveling....... Sent off on his journey by Tracie , also a sweetheart (although we just met), and so very brilliant for coming up with the idea.
If you want to keep up with his travels, there is a group where you can do just that over here.
I have a few more macro shots that I took for the last Macro Monday's holiday bokeh theme and wanted to share them with you while still in holiday mode.These are fine details on one tinsel ball using 3 extension tubes on my 100 mm macro lens.
For a week I rented the Nikon's legendary macro lens, the Nikon 200mm f/4. It has no VR, so for close macro work it almost requires the use of a tripod or mono-pod. Of course I immediately broke that 'rule', preferring as always to shoot handheld. That means many more pictures need to be taken in order to get a sharp shot, and it usually means higher ISO's due to a faster shutter speed to offset the motion of my hands as I shoot.
The next series of shots will feature results from this lens, all handheld and in natural light. In the end, I liked its color rendition, contrast, and the ability to work macro magic with a bit more distance to the subject, helpful especially with subjects like bugs and bees. The closest focus distance is about 19 inches to achieve the 1:1 ratio. For a hand-holder like me, I would much prefer VR (vibration reduction) on this lens to offset my hand motion.
But for most people who do proper macro technique with a tripod setup, this is no big deal.
All in all, it is a great lens, and I can see why the design has not been changed for over 20 years. It is still being sold brand new by Nikon despite its age and 'old' technology!

When you drop a raisin in the glass of champagne, do you know what it will do? It is going to bounce up and down from the bottom of the top, continuously.
In the song lyrics from 'Hotel California' from The Eagles
they had "..mirrors on the ceiling.. ♪ ♫ pink champagne on ice.."
Pink Champagne was made famous in the 1957 classic movie 'An Affair to Remember' when both of the lead romantic actors fall in love with each other and share 'pink bubbly'.

Champagne is made from four different grapes:
1. Chardonnay (white wine grape)
2. Pinot Noir (red wine grape)
3. Pinot Meunier
4. Pinot Gris
So how come all Champagne is not pink?
fun facts:
Grapes are all white on the inside and it is only the outside skin that has any color. Therefore one can make a white wine out of a red grape; just remove the skins immediately so that there is no red color added to the wine liquid.
For example Zinfandel is a white wine yet zinfandel is a red grape. To make a white Zinfandel, they just let the skins stay on the liquid for a short while, this allows a small amount of the tint from the red skin color the wine liquid, giving it a nice blush color.
When they make a Champagne, even though they use 'red grapes' they take the skin away immediately so that none of the red color from the skin affects the overall color of the Champagne liquid.
In order to make a Champagne a pink Champagne, all they have to do is let the skins sit with the liquid for a short while. The longer it sits together, the more blush pink the liquid becomes.
Happy Valentine's Day ♡ flickr friends : )
