Daisy: Actually, it's more like the "I Have No Idea Flower". These buttery-yellow blooms were shot back at the end of March when we were first scouting San Fran. Any ideas, my botany-minded friends?
Update: Thanks to you, my flower-knowing Flickr friends, we seem to have consensus: these are African Daisies (Osteospermum). :)
Note: Special thanks to my friend Sean Hawley, for the incredible testimonial! Sean's photo work is always outstanding, so please have a look if you're not already a fan. :)

Tread lightly...
Among the rocks at work I found these tiny little lichens growing in clusters. I think the recent rain has brought them out of their little hidey holes...
SOOC.

Another woodlouse spider, this one with its prey. Called a woodlouse spider as they frequently eat woodlouse, piercing their exoskeleton with their sharp, long fangs but will prey on a multitude of other invertebrates found in their environment. However, woodlouse are its most frequent prey, probably on account of their number present in their habitat. Found in rotting wood, under stones, flower pots, bricks, etc, anywhere you would normally expect to find woodlouse. They do not spin a web for catching prey but do form a lace web to rest in during the day as this one has, but they hunt at night in true predatory fashion. Found in my garden in Aberaeron.

Things I ♥ Month Continues! During our wonderful trip to San Francisco last weekend, there was literally a shot on every corner. And after turning one of those corners, I found one of my favorite things right in front of me...
Spring: Whether it's buds, blooms, bushes or branches, there is nothing I love more than horticultural happiness of Spring. And as a photog?—flowers & foliage provide an array of everything you could want: color, depth, beauty & detail...all in one shot! Yay for Spring!

For Macro Mondays, Berry on Berry, Blueberry on Pepperoni instead of cheese and olives as finger food. Honestly I would not have considered Pepperoni cucumber or water melons as berries. But there are as usual more then on definitions of a term, here Berries
So if you like to know more about different definition for Berries, have a look at these two definitions on Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_(botany)
Strobist Info, single flash, with a large round softbox, light feathered, camera between softbox and saucer in order to reduce the reflection of the soft box on the glossy black saucer,

Sorry...Still have limited flickr time due to poor connection.. will try my best to visit as much as I can.
Have a great Monday, everyone!!!
Quite a challenge, to combine the themes for Macro Mondays and Flickr Friday into one photo.
Macro Mondays theme is bubbles, which is covered by the froth, Flicker Fridays theme is straw or stroh, covered by the reusable vegan glass straw.
Actually, the first shot, the glass straw was to short, and complete inside the bee bottle. Took some flower wire, bend it, and put in into the straw to make it taller. Foam is not from the beer, it’s actually liquid. Pustefix to make huge bubbles.
Light was with a strobe, bounced from the next wall to the kitchen, photo was taken on kitchen counter, hat to remove some reflection from the beer bottle.
Feedback and constructive critique wellcome.
14 handheld images stacked in Zerene.
Came to a moth light trap hence the loose moth scales over its body.
Stack for Macro Mondays, as defined as pile or heap of items placed one on top of the other with at least three single elements. And since I have a small bag full of them, for one of the last Macro Monday challenges, why not use them again.
Crown caps stack from different brands of beer, stacked on top of each other, is less simple then it looks, the just break down fast, by mechanical movement or minor shocks.
Feel free to leave comments and constructive feedback. No P1/C1 or seen in group and similar.
