Don't ask me how long I've had these little things in the fridge. It's probably 2 or 3 years. We don't usually enjoy garlic, however for a while I was subscribing to a meal kit delivery service and they included garlic in the kits. I ended up with quite a bit of it, however these few are the last ones left - I wonder if I ever will use them?

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.

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.

Seen this little fella at Attenborough Nature Reserve here in Nottinghamshire. He was happy to sit and pose for a few minutes.
The centre and the reserve is named after naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.

All my own work - coloured inks on genuine watercolour paper, using a little fan brush.
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.

Der Wächter des Herbstes:
Wenn die Tage kürzer werden und das Licht flacher einfällt, zeigt sich einer der letzten Boten des Jahres. Mit seinen tief gezackten Flügeln gleitet er lautlos durch das Unterholz, als wäre er direkt einer alten Waldlegende entsprungen. Ein flüchtiger Moment der Ruhe auf den brennenden Blättern, bevor er sich in den Schatten des Winters auflöst.
Die Geschichte zwischen dem C-Falter und der Brennnessel (Urtica dioica).
Für fast alle Lebewesen ist die Brennnessel eine wehrhafte Festung. Sie schützt sich mit Millionen winziger, gläserner Spritzen aus Kieselsäure. Wer sie berührt, bricht die Köpfchen ab, injiziert sich einen Cocktail aus Ameisensäure und Histamin und spürt brennenden Schmerz.
Doch für den C-Falter ist diese wehrhafte Pflanze kein Feind, sondern eine Arche Noah und die Wiege seines Lebens.
Wenn der C-Falter im Frühjahr aus seiner monatelangen Winterstarre erwacht, treiben die ersten, frischen Brennnesseln aus dem kalten Boden. Das Weibchen fliegt nun gezielt die Pflanzen an, die jeder Spaziergänger meidet. Sie sucht nicht die schönen Blüten, sondern die frischesten, saftigsten Blätter im Halbschatten.Mit feinen chemischen Sensoren an ihren Füßen "schmeckt" sie die Pflanze beim Auftreffen. Wenn die Qualität stimmt, klebt sie ihre winzigen, grünlichen Eier einzeln auf die Blattunterseiten. Sie weiß instinktiv: Hier sind ihre Kinder sicher. Die brennenden Haare der Pflanze, die für uns eine Qual sind, schützen ihre Eier vor größeren Fressfeinden wie Schnecken oder pflanzenfressenden SäugetierenNach wenigen Tagen schlüpfen die kleinen Raupen. Und nun beginnt das eigentliche Wunder: Die Brennhaare der Nessel, die für uns Menschen so schmerzhaft sind, machen den Raupen absolut gar nichts aus. Sie wandern unbeschadet zwischen den Giftnadeln umher.Die perfekte Tarnung: Die Raupe des C-Falters tarnt sich als Vogelkot. Ihre hintere Hälfte ist strahlend weiß gefärbt, der Rest braun-schwarz. Wenn sie sich auf dem grünen Brennnesselblatt zusammenrollt, übersieht sie jeder Vogel.Das Festmahl: Die Brennnessel ist für die Raupen ein hoch nahrhafter Kraftriegel. Die Blätter sind extrem reich an Stickstoff, Eisen und Proteinen. Die Raupe frisst sich von unten nach oben durch das Blatt und nutzt die Nessel sogar als Architekt: Für die Fresspausen spinnt sie die Blattränder leicht zusammen, um sich ein geschütztes Zelt zu bauen.

These Allium Siculums are beginning to unfurl in my garden. They need a thin garden cane to help support them at this stage.
Nectaroscordum (Allium).
Alliums are part of the onion family. They bloom with bell-shaped flowers offering reddish-purple markings as you can see. Known as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells, is a European and Turkish species of plants genus Allium. It is native to the regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and grown in other regions as an ornamental and as a culinary herb.

Like an outer space suspension. This tiny cobweb (about 5 cm wide and 3cm deep) was reflecting a world in it's rain drop globes. Bearing in mind each reflection is upside down, you can make out the sky, the side of our house (brown) and our trees. It's incredibly magical to take these shots, don't you think?

The theme is CHIP, they said.
My mind immediately thought "potato chip" however that seemed too obvious so I thought more widely. Computer chip also seemed a bit obvious, however my husband had these little gems with 'legs' to create shadows, so I jazzed them up with red and blue lights. That was fun.
The ferns in my garden are steadily unfolding. Now's the perfect time to capture some macro shots.

🎶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 😀
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.
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.
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.
