In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.

Mein Beitrag zu den Pusteblumen Bildern im Frühling ;-)
Panellus mitis
Since I was a child, I 've been fascinated by world of mushrooms!
Happy Sunday to you all and thanks for comments and favs!
Danaus chrysippus, also known as the plain tiger, African queen, or African monarch, is a medium-sized butterfly widespread in Asia, Australia and Africa!
The tall grass along the Credit River is slowly turning from green to dry straw. I couldn't go farther in for the shot because the grass grows in mud. Texture added to background.

Had to raid Lady Bo's much treasured sewing box to complete this photographic challenge. So carried away was I with results that it also fell to her Ladyship to put them all away again. Typical, I know. Where would I be without her...

For best results, please enlarge by clicking on the one loose thread at the centre and enter the colourful macro world within ...😊
These flowers made it through the harsh cold winter we had and they develop certainly nice...stay safe and healthy. Cheers, Udo.

Some bling in four different sizes for Macro Mondays and "Smaller and smaller". Real diamonds are born under pressure, but these Swarovski rhinestones were born from dust. We are in macro world, after all, which means: magnified dust. After a first rather frustrating round of doing some focus stacking and still finding the diamond-shaped Swarovski crystals, which I had so carefully cleaned with a fresh microfibre cloth beforehand, covered in dust, I had what you might call a sudden "de-dusting" inspiration: wet wipes for glasses. You know, those single-packed wipes that you shouldn't use all too often because they might damage the glasses' coating. And honestly, wet wipes for glasses never work without a good amount of repolishing with a microfibre cloth, because all they ever do is smudge the glasses further. But used on these small and smaller glass stones? It was worth a try, and it kind of worked. I'm not saying that the wet wipes removed every single speck of dust, but the crystals were much cleaner than I'd ever managed to get them with a dry microfibre cloth :)
The different sizes of the crystals are: 1,7/1,4/0,6/0,3 cm (0,6/0,5/0,2/0,1 inches) in diameter. I've placed the crystals on a glossy black tile and illuminated them with a soft photo LED light from above, white light from the left, yellow light from the right, and a handheld flashlight set on "spotlight" handheld from the front. The final image is an in-camera focus stacking JPG which I've further processed in Lightroom (clarity) and Color Efex (filters "Brilliance and Warmth", "Reflector Efex Gold", and "Skylight"). I did some final
de-dusting with the healing and copy brushes in PS.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Have a great weekend everyone.
At this time of year, I switch my main focus from birds to the macro world of insects - specifically to Butterflies, Moths, Dragonfles, and Spiders. I enjoy really looking at the smaller world around me.
The small blue butterflies can be hard to identify, but the Silvery Blue has a unique ventral wing pattern.
This pest was jumping in when I took the shot of Rose. Try to make some contrast to the pink. 我正在拍玫瑰的時候，這只不知名的小蟲跳上來參與，不如增肌些色彩的反差吧！
Echinops is a genus of about 120 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as globe thistles. They have spiny foliage and produce blue or white spherical flower heads.
Some flowers have been donated to the family with a birthday ceremony...well....Stay safe and healthy! Cheers, Udo.

In the summer, the forest is the world of all kind of insects, mosquito, worms, and snakes… The leaves block everything. Mosquitoes love me... ;)) But I am so scared of mosquitoes and snakes... Now all leaves on the ground, covered with thin snow. Mosquitoes gone, snakes hibernated... So nice walking and exploring the macro world in the forest. But the mushrooms or fungus are so different from others. They attached to hard wood, dead tree, I think they were Ganoderma Applanatum… with different colors and shapes. Truly “artist's fungus" 😉
