Sometimes theme pictures jump out at me when I least expect it. For the theme of "Love" I wracked my brains and came up with not much. Given that we are in an older age group with no family around us, and we live in a fairly isolated area, I had no clues. But then today, while I was outside photographing water droplets on moss after overnight rain, this leaf presented itself to me. Just look at the lovely droplets around the heart shape and how it has pinky reflections from a pink net I have hanging over some plants.
So, as my picture title states, it was nature's message of love.
Recently visited Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire. Oldmoor Wood is 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.
I went primarily for the beautiful Bluebells. There is a mix of Native and Spanish Bluebells.
Native Bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
How to tell the difference.
English Bluebells: Flowers on one side of the stem.
Spanish Bluebells: Flowers all around the stem.

Take two compact mirror sets. Place one inside the other at right angles to each other, add a shiny office clip, a tiny red light, a tiny blue light, a big white light and a clever camera. Voila!!!
All my own work - coloured inks on genuine watercolour paper.
I've done a lot of this art, using coloured inks, with great results (which are hanging on our walls) so it's been fun to do this special little tiny delight.
This was fun and what a nice result. The reality is that it's my kitchen grater and two lights behind it - a red and a blue. The result is an interesting vista of the little holes, with reflections from the lights swirling through the holes from behind.

From Camera to Flickr. No post editing (Apart from the file name of course). This was about 45 minutes before the sunset. A calm atmosphere, the sound of a few distant birds. I think this is Old Man's Beard (Clematis Vitalba). So delicate, soft and swaying in a light breeze.

My very favourite poppy is flowering right now. It's called Ladybird Poppy. It's the reddest of reds in colour, with two large black spots each side of the stamens - hence the name "Ladybird" (Ladybug in America?) On this occasion I backlit the flower, which was no more than 6cm (2.5 inches) wide, at night to give full effect. The light behind created the lovely paler striped effect on the under petals. These flowers only last a day however they're absolutely flourishing at the moment and, as one falls away, another blooms in its place.
This is a small section of my coffee maker. I love it's bronze colour and the wavy lines enhance it.
The theme was "TWO" - two of something. I chose two blue pens for several reasons.
1) The blue plastic is semi-transparent and brings up lovely colours when in light.
2) The silver tips are shiny, making a nice contrast with the blue.
3) They're small and fit into the Macro Mondays size criteria.
4) They're actually quite photogenic, although they did roll around a bit making it challenging to set the tips together.
This was fun and I like the results. There are 8 photos in this set. I especially like this one where I positioned the pens on a metal table outside on a sunny day, over the hole that the sun umbrella fits into, and photographed from underneath managing to get the sky and clouds in the background.

For the final Macro Mondays challenge of 2021 we were asked to make a macro photo using two of the themes presented during the year. I chose "In Ice" (Feb 15) and "Forks" (Apr 26). I really enjoyed the 'In Ice' challenge when it came around. I'd never photographed using ice and I achieved some wonderful results. 'Forks' also proved to be an interesting challenge and I love my forks photos. So here's the result of the two - "Forks in Ice".
While I chose this one for Macro Mondays, I did end up with a number of other different versions for this theme - also there in my album. 😀
Dandelions. 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.
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.
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as Dandelions.

I used to make and sell earrings on the internet. I no longer do it, however I do still have a lot of the components and never know when they might be useful. In this case I placed a filigree bead cap on top of a small glass turquoise bead, and placed them on a glass display case that has tiny lights in it. The blue chequered background is the lid of a flat box we were given, with a presentation folder inside, last week. My tiny pen-sized beam torch (bought at a $2 Shop) provided the curved spot-light shape behind and blue reflection on the glass base. This is a perfect example of why I enjoy doing these photos so much. Every one of them requires me to delve deeply into my creative imagination and is such fun to create. The other part of the fun is how the props are usually turn out to be something quite ordinary made to look glamorous.
very fine cobweb strands holding it in place against a gentle breeze. amazing nature :)

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

Yes, it's the smoke from an incense cone. I absolutely loved this challenge and have done many shots. This was one of my favourites because it almost looks like soft floaty fabric rather than smoke. Photographing smoke has quite captivated me. I super love learning new skills and this has been a magical experience. 😍
