Rosemary Beetle (Chrysolina americana) on Lavender (Lavandula; in the mint family, Lamiaceae) branch!
It is an attractive 5mm long metallic green beetle with purple stripes on its wing cases and thorax. The beetle devours the leaves of rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage and some other related plants. The beetle is a native of southern Europe that has become an established pest in Britain since the 1990s.

"La particolare pianta, scoperta nel 1779 dal botanico e geologo austriaco barone Franz Xaver de Wulfen (nato a Belgrado nel 1728 e morto a Klagenfurt nel 1805), è molto rara ed è visibile solo in una zona particolare dei Balcani, tra l’Albania e il Montenegro, in Siria e in Himalaya."

One drop of milk dropped onto another drop. I think this shows the scale of exactly how small these drops actually are. This cap fits on a 58 mm. lens. Not exactly the result I was hoping for, but with the clean-up after each drop, I was quite willing to settle for this one out of the lot. Had to have the tripod fully extended to place the camera almost directly over the drop. This meant having to stand on a chair each time to replace the lens cap after cleaning.
Probably won't do any more of these ;-)
I have nothing more to say. Some people just disappoint me.
But I like the picture anyway.

I know I'll see you again, I'm sure
No, it's not selfish to ask for more
One more night
One more day
One more smile on your face
But they can't take yesterday

I just can't believe you're gone
Still waiting for morning to come
Wanna see if the sun will rise even without you by my side
When we have so much in store
Tell me what is it I'm reaching for
When we're through building memories
I'll hold yesterday in my heart
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we never played
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams
Take everything
Just take it away
But they can never have yesterday
I thought our days would last forever
But it wasn't our destiny
'Cause in my mind we had so much time
But I was so wrong
Now I can believe that I can still find the strength in the moments we made
I'm looking back on yesterday
All the broken dreams
Take everything
But they can never have yesterday

The effects in the water are from aluminum foil crumpled up. Speedlite 430EX ll from the rear behind frosted glass and Speedlite 580EX ll from the right with red gel. The splash has blue dye and there is green dye in the water.
Eight dandelion seeds balanced on a piece of cardboard with slight adhesive. Only editing was cropping.
Dropping yellow food coloring mixed with milk into what once was blue water. The blue background is a result of the flash firing at a blue plastic sheet behind the drop. The little droplets at the edge of the rim are just starting to form on this one. Had to clone out a couple of bubbles in the water :-(

Is that Barbapapa? I've been wanting to get Barbapapa in one of mine.
