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.

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.

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 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.
Macro photography of red and pink flowers, with very shallow depth of field and beautiful soft warm light.
The parkland here is vast. For these few shots I endeavoured to capture macro with varying results.

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.

🎶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 😀

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.

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

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

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.

Here's how I made this image: www.youtube.com/shorts/p26gOLIW5Pg
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.
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.
My photograph, "Interior Flame on Teal," offers a dramatic, close-up look at the vibrant world inside a red bell pepper. The striking contrast between the pepper’s fiery, saturated orange-red interior and the cool, deep teal background immediately draws the eye.
The composition, with the pepper sliced open and positioned against the saturated background, creates a powerful visual focus. The texture is a key element: the smooth, glossy exterior and interior walls of the pepper contrast with the fascinating cluster of pale, papery seeds at the center. The slightly translucent quality of the pepper's flesh near the core allows light to filter through, giving the whole piece a beautiful luminosity. The remnants of the dark, woody part of the core and the bright green stem provide smaller points of color and texture variation.
This image isolates the subject, showing how even a common kitchen item can hold remarkable complexity and beauty when viewed at a macro level.

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.
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.
