We planted more poppy seeds earlier in Spring and combined with the poppies we usually get in early May, this year's crop is a beautiful sight to behold!

I'm giving myself a break from Flickr for a little while to get my strength back as I'm still under the weather. I'll hopefully see you soon. There's absolutely no need to comment on this photo. :-)

We visited friends in the Drôme Department this weekend and I captured this in their garden. I asked my friend what it is and she said "un Prunus" which - following a quick conflab with Mademoiselle Google - seems to cover a wide range of various fruit trees. It still needs a couple of weeks to start blooming properly but this macro shows the hint of the beauty of the blossom to come

Bismuth is a rather low boiling metal.

But since there is limit of 1 pic per week , 2 out of 3 are not in the group

This is the closeup of a ranunculus flower. My OH gave me two bunches yesterday when he returned from a five day jaunt to Corsica with Bob. I couldn't go with them as I'm still not 100% fit following a recent hospital stay. Never mind though as I thoroughly enjoyed five days of 'me' time at home 😊

Not really, but it’s a nice mix of matches and a single bottle cap from Bionade, a German lemonade.

I was messing around this morning with the rather strange combination of a red feather and a cactus plant using my macro lens with a full set of extension tubes attached - this is one of the results

Macro Mondays - theme: (line) symmetry

 

width of this frame: 6.5 cm / this spinning peg top is 3.5 cm wide

 

I seem to have forgotten how to play with spinning tops; it took me quite a while to get it spinning more or less steadily

... but I had fun ; ))

 

Happy Macro Mondays, everyone!

Taken in the garden. The pesky snails seem to love eryngium as each year they gravitate towards it and set up residence. It doesn't seem the best choice of plant for them what with all those pointy sharp bits here and there but what do I know, eh? The yellow in the background is yarrow.

 

Happy Friday! :-)

A macro of the petals of a ranunculus flower. I got extra close using an extension tube. I shone the light from my phone onto the flowerhead to get the shadows

A stack of 12 handheld images

Some bluebells from the garden which I cut and brought inside to try and capture a half-decent photo and also to protect them from the persistent rain we've been having

With my camera and 60mm Macro lens, I got as close as I could, not to scare this Teaxs Black Bee away and bee able to capture some images of this amazing Bee.

Thanks for all your support on my work in the art of Photography. Lol: Gaston

View in large size for awesome details of this wonderful capture

This tiny little flower was growing all on its lonesome amongst some ground covering plants. I think it's a type of wild garlic/onion

HBW my friends!!!... slowly inching my way as usual.. hehe

As Autumn embeds itself, this will probably be the last of my full flowering yellow hibiscus flowers in a pot outside the kitchen door. The weather has turned very wet with strong winds but also some of the sunshine we are famed for here in Provence. I took this photo first thing on Tuesday morning of this week after a very stormy and wet Monday night.

enjoy your day or evening!!!!

actually this is just a word play, since the plate is from the series Manufacture Rock from Villeroy und Boch.

 

Same plate differnt day , different light, light shaped by the railings of my balcony, one photo with an addidional reflector zebra gold and silver.

 

Macroglossum stellatarum

Taubenschwänzchen

We have lots of this colourful and interestingly shaped plant in one of our flower beds. It's flowering much more this year.

A macro of a part of a cactus we have on the terrace which has been growing like crazy these past couple of months. It's covered in little oval shaped leaves at the moment and it was these I wanted to try and capture. There's a photo of it in the first comment.

 

Have a great new week ahead everyone! 😊

Poppies in the garden being blown hither and thither by strong warm breezes. We're currently having a bit of a heatwave with temperatures of 30c so an early blast of summer
