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.
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.

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.

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.
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!!!
This is a small section of my coffee maker. I love it's bronze colour and the wavy lines enhance it.
A Cathedral of Moss
Step into the magnificent, miniature world atop the weathered church wall. Here, fallen leaves are vast landscapes, and strands of spider silk become delicate bridges connecting the forest of sporophytes. The intense emerald green of the moss, topped by the beautiful bronze-gold capsules, transforms the ancient surface into a rich, living tapestry, invisible to all but the closest observer.

Au ras du monde, tout ralentit. Une présence fragile avance, portant son abri comme un secret. Dans le silence humide du matin, chaque détail devient un paysage, chaque regard une rencontre.
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. 😀
very fine cobweb strands holding it in place against a gentle breeze. amazing nature :)

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.

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. 😍
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.
When someone says "fruit" I immediately think of raspberries, or rather frozen raspberries. I grew up in an area of New Zealand nicknamed "The Fruitbowl of New Zealand". There was all manner of different fruits growing everywhere, however raspberries were always my favourites. When freezing fruit became a thing, I discovered how much I enjoyed frozen raspberries. So there you have it.
To me, fruit = frozen raspberries.

A delicate butterfly rests on a wild daisy, its warm orange wings patterned like stained glass against a soft green backdrop. Captured in natural light, this moment highlights the quiet harmony between pollinator and flower, where texture, color, and stillness come together. A fleeting glimpse of summer’s gentle beauty, balanced between detail and calm.
Wonderful nature at Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire, in the good care of The Woodland Trust. I visited primarily for the English Bluebells.

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.
Yellow and green
I know what you mean
The colours are such a nice fit
They shine and they glow
And I know that you know
They’re lovely - you must admit
Note: These are Jubes (candy/sweets) that I cut into cubes and placed together. A tricky and sticky job because they were very small and then stuck to my fingers when I was trying to place them together. I set them on a clear surface and placed lighting underneath to bring out the shine. I think they look a bit like stained glass windows, however stained glass windows were never that delicious. Yum.
Who'd have thought the foil mesh centre section of our 25 year old juicer would become the star of my macro photo? It's been an amazing juicer, Moulinex Vitafruit, since the day I bought it. We have fresh carrot-celery-beetroot juice every morning for breakfast. At times when we go away for a few days, we miss our juice tremendously.
For this shot I inverted the mesh section and set a red light under it shining forward. Came out quite well, I thought.
Ash trees make seeds called samaras or helicopters, whirlygigs, or whatever you like to call the winged seeds. When conditions are just right, certain trees will produce an exceptionally large number of seeds.
