Hidden treasure found in my sister in laws huge garden. I noticed it sitting in this pretty spotlight.

Ich umarme Dich. Meine scharfe Süße.

My beloved red onion, you always give my salad the right spiciness. Your relish also refines other stews made from vegetables or meat roasted in the pan. I definitely don't want to do without you. Even if I have to tickle you a little with the knife every now and then – please don't resent the cutting – I will always be very careful. Please stay with me, my dear.

Well, all right – that should just be a small declaration of love for a vegetable that I really appreciate: the red onion. (And no, I didn't cry – I know the trick and didn't breathe through my nose ;-) ...)

///

Meine liebe rote Zwiebel, Du gibst meinem Salat immer die rechte Schärfe. Deine Würze verfeinert unter anderem auch andere Schmorgerichte aus Gemüse oder in der Pfanne gebratenes Fleisch ergänzt Du hervorragend. Ich möchte auf gar keinen Fall auf Dich verzichten. Auch wenn ich Dich leider ab und zu mit dem Messer ein wenig kitzeln muss – nimm mir bitte das Schneiden nicht übel – ich werde immer sehr vorsichtig sein. Bitte bleib bei mir, meine Liebe.

Also, na gut – das sollte nur eine kleine Liebeserklärung an ein Gemüse werden, das ich wirklich sehr schätze: die rote Zwiebel. (Und nein, ich habe nicht geheult – ich kenne den Trick und habe nicht durch die Nase geatmet ;-) ... )

Ingredients: slice of a red onion, knife, red cardboard, daylight as backlight, bicycle light as spotlight on the red background

Zutaten: Scheibe einer roten Zwiebel, Messer, roter Karton, Tageslicht als Gegenlicht, Fahrradleuchte als Scheinwerferlicht auf den roten Hintergrund

There's not a great deal to photograph in our garden at the moment (we've got a big trip to the garden centre planned once lockdown ends), but on closer inspection these little guys were hard at work.

Sometimes photos don't quite turn out how we plan...like this one.🙈 I was intending to take a crisp macro shot of these water droplets, but instead I ended up with this dreamy abstract looking image. Which I love, by the way, much more than the image I thought I was taking 💜

What photos have you taken that you've loved more than the planned shot?

Spotted this little guy on our hose pipe stand.

He was tiny, smaller than a pea but with a macro lens he suddenly becomes more than just a tiny jumping spider. He has eyes, and hairs and all this detail you wouldn't normally be able to see! 💜

Does anyone know if this a certain kind of jumping spider? 🤔

Would love to know it's name if it has one 👍

Whilst editing this, I really liked the simplicity of a black and white edit. It's not often I do black and white but this one just looked better, plain and simple.

I love the way the light falls on the fern leaves in this shot. For me, it just highlights the beauty of nature.

A wild clematis, growing in the foothills above Colorado Springs. I'm not sure of the exact species; we've got two like this, and I don't know how to tell them apart. I used the spot metering setting on my camera to keep the flower from getting blown out, and it created a sort of spotlight effect that I really like here.
