“Mother and child in the meadow”

Taraxacum (Dandelions)

A very common weed that adorns urban areas, gardens, fields and just about anywhere. Whatever you think of it, its various stages of transition are magical from a photographic perspective.

 

Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as Dandelions.

Macro photography of red and pink flowers, with very shallow depth of field and beautiful soft warm light.

Seen at Oldmoor Wood. It's 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.

The parkland here is vast. For these few shots I endeavoured to capture macro with varying results.

Dandelions may be considered a nuisance in parts of the garden, especially in weed-free lawns but have many herbal uses and are a good early source of nectar and pollen for insects so worth tolerating where possible.

🎶Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,

Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if one green bottle should accidentally fall,

There’ll be nine green bottles hanging on the wall.🎶

 

In fact there were six green bottles, however they were not hanging on the wall and none of them fell. But only two were able to be photographed, so the other four were left on the shelf. These are filled with Bundaberg 'Lemon Lime and Bitters' which is a most refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day - and we are having super hot days in the far north of New Zealand at the moment. HMM 😀

Wonderful nature at Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire, in the good care of The Woodland Trust. I visited primarily for the English Bluebells.

I've had this little spiral for about 10 years. It came with a plastic drink bottle that was a promotional gift with some protein powder.

I have never known how to use it, so today it had its first outing.........as a photography prop.

This is a tiny bulb in one of several really small torches I use for photography lighting. I buy tiny torches of all shapes and colours, from a $2 store, and find them really useful (especially for macro work). This particular torch is pen shape and size. It has a tiny bulb at one end that shines white. Then there's another tiny bulb in the centre section that shines gold. The white light end of the torch is just like any other torch, however the other end is made of white plastic cut out to be a whistle (and it's loud). There's a tiny rubber button in the centre of the body that you press to turn on, first the white light, then press again and the centre gold light comes on, then press again and the centre gold light flashes. I'm assuming it was made to be a tiny hazard light that you carry in your pocket and, if you get lost or in danger, you can blow the whistle and set up the little flashing hazard light. It fits easily in your pocket and takes a AAA battery - clever little thing.

The ferns in my garden are steadily unfolding. Now's the perfect time to capture some macro shots.

Sometimes I have to play Nursey, but my knowledge stops at applying cream and plaster to the wound...after that I let the doctors take over.

This is cool. It's 3 small, very shiny, beads that are completely turquoise. The dark pattern reflections on them came from the LED light cubes I used to to lighten the scene.

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

Last Friday we were taking a walk along a beach, when I came across this piece of damaged wood eaten out by shipworms.

In taking this photo I was intrigued by what looked like many teeth marks around the holes.

I researched what might have caused the holes and learned about shipworms (and if you look closely at one of the holes and I think the remains of a worm is still in there.)

I learned that marine shipworms have hundreds of sharp invisible teeth and then store the wood they eat in a special digestive sack, where bacteria degrade it. These unique creatures burrow into wood, using it for food and shelter.

It came to visit...
