I'm not sure why I'm so intrigued by these flower seed heads from last year's flowers, but when you look at them very closely and in this case converted to B&W, this image looks like a X-Ray of sorts.
I don't know. That's what I see here. Maybe I'm high on my own supply...
Anyhow... shot using a Tokina AT-x 90mm f2.5 Macro lens, plus it's AT-X 1:1 Extender and a Canon FD 50mm extension tube to get beyond 1:1 macro magnification.
Possibly Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus or Tachypodoiulus niger.

Learning by doing, a nice workshop on food photography, with Eileen Schäfer in Munich. First a short introduction to the subject, then start to photograph the stuff everybody brought. Actually Romanesco was on my Wishlist, but I could not get it in time. So lucky me, another participant brought some and I was able to borrow it for a couple of minutes.
Strobist info, since this is not my light, a small, square soft box feathered from above
Although Amaurobius ferox and Amaurobius similis are very similar, this one seems a bit lighter than the A. ferox specimens I have found and the darker annulations on the legs here rule out A. ferox in favour of A. similis. The only other possibility is A. fenestralis but these are not regarded as spiders of gardens and buildings and this was found in my house front door frame.

Festive seasons, Christmas gift wrapped in red paper, with a single star and some golden tinsel.
The Star, tip to tip is less than 4 cm. But for Macro Mondays, theme "festive season" it shown not from tip to tip, at least not in all directions.
The background is a a book already wrapped, a golden star and some golden tinsel.
First light source was late morning light, second light source reflection from a cosmetic mirror.

Panorpa communis (m)
De schorpioenvliegen (Panorpidae) zijn een familie van insecten die behoren tot de orde Mecoptera.
Het is een interessante groep die behoort tot de oudste insectenordes die een volledige gedaanteverwisseling bezitten.
Wereldwijd zijn ongeveer 500 soorten beschreven, verdeeld over een vijftal families.
Kenmerkend voor sommige schorpioenvliegen (soorten welke behoren tot de familie van de Panorpidae) is het tangvormig orgaan dat mannetjes aan het achterlijf hebben, dat omhoog gekruld wordt gedragen en dat daarom enigszins doet denken aan de staart van een schorpioen, maar geen angel heeft en verder volkomen ongevaarlijk is. Het insect gebruikt het alleen bij de paring.
Schorpioenvliegen zijn roofinsecten en de soort Panorpa communis komt algemeen voor in Nederland en België, meestal kan hij worden gevonden op lage vegetatie op wat vochtige, beschaduwde plekken. Naast dode insecten en ander aas, worden ze aangetrokken door plantaardig voedsel.

Detail of red zip wrapping around the suitcase. Beside the unusal form, I love the color.
Don't have the exact size, since the photo was taken trough a shop window, but less the the allowed 7.6 cm in length.

Enjoying the last of the windfall apples before he dies, as all males do over the winter. A sad end but he lasted longer than most.
One or two of you may have noticed I've been away for a little while. Unfortunately, I took ill last week and was admitted to hospital. I'm back at home but still feeling fragile and hollowed out.
This is a macro of a ranunculus flower, one out of a bunch of three of them which I got at the village market ten days ago. I had the intention of trying to take a half-decent photo of them shortly after I bought them but then I found myself in hospital. It was an absolute delight though to find them still blooming when I returned home on Wednesday so yesterday I dusted down the camera and took this. I've since found out that ranunculus are great flowers for long-lasting blooms.
I'll be catching up when and where I can. Happy weekend to one and all :-)
