Macro Mondays - theme: abstract

 

a square of decorative plastic 'thingies' you can use for crafting (for example, greeting cards); it looks like tiny rhinestones, but it's just concave plastic indentation

taken with the 60mm Laowa 2:1 ultra macro lens @ about f8; underexposed and I used a pink transparent plastic sphere as some kind of colour filter, placed in front of a LED torch

 

HMM, everyone !

I am bit under the weather; I will try to catch up later on

Taken in the garden from the mimosa tree which this year bloomed beautifully! I see I took this on 20 February. Looking at it now it's a sorry state after all the recent rains we had.

Another result of my recent playing around with colour (& water) - a red feather caught in my euphorbia trigona (African Milk Tree) and then sprayed with water. Red represents vitality, the life force, physical energy and strength, passion, power and courage. If you encounter a red feather, it may be a sign that you are becoming stronger, or getting your strength back after a health issue. Here's hoping.....

Another excellent image of our hybrid yellow Hibiscus plant, with another maginificent display of beauty. The details are awesome when viewed in large, such a lovely color and variety of Hibiscus.

Thanks for all your support on my work.Hope Y'all like it. Lol: Gaston (aka Gasssman).

view in large or original size for awesome details of this yellow beauty.

The calla lily flower is the official bloom to represent a sixth wedding anniversary. Because of the flower's uniqueness, it is often used to mark life's rites of passage. More broadly, the calla lily meaning is purity, holiness, and faithfulness, which goes back to its religious significance. These four calla lilies are the only flowers to have survived the bouquet I bought last Tuesday at the market - the roses withered and died far too quickly

Part of a Jerusalem sage plant. The hairy thingy eventually opens and turns into yellow flowers. The soft background bokeh shows the yellow of other Jerusalem sage plants in flower

Our different varieties of salvia in the garden have reacted very positively to the arrival of cooler weather by giving us another wonderful show of flowers which no doubt will be their last hurrah before Autumn turns to Winter

I bought a small bunch of different coloured anemones at the market on Tuesday as the colours were so rich and vibrant and this one screamed at me to have its photo taken. It makes me smile greatly and I hope it makes you smile too 😊🌺

That's the edge of a blue-cyan coloured gel ice / cold pack (gel refrigerant pack) you use to treat bruises for example ... I dampened it a bit and put it into the freezer to get some ice crystals on top of it

A shot of my pot of "rat's tails" cactus which is coming out of its winter slumber and there's lots of jostling for space going on. It reminds me of all those years when I was travelling to work on the London Underground in rush hour! 😊
