Refractions of a sunflower... E x p l o r e d ! Its highest position is #11.
I'm back to shooting macros. Just practicing my eye while waiting for the Kenko extension tube set to arrive. Two more nights -- I just can't wait!

Macro Mondays, theme of November 13, 2023: tool
and 52 in 2023 challenge: #42 = blunt
Happy (Macro) Mondays, everyone
I am busy today; I will try to catch up tonight or on Tuesday.
This is a similar shot to a one I uploaded recently but this one I took with a lower shutter speed. I much prefer this one because of the light and shadows and general feeling of drama

Taken for Macro Mondays - theme "Father"
(here: something that was given to me by my father)
This faceted crystal sun-catcher was a gift from my father. If I remember correctly, he brought it with him from an inpatient rehab stay.
It's already a bit worse for wear after all those years, with a chipped edge (or two) and a lot of micro scratches. But it still refracts the light beautifully ... it hangs on the balcony door of my study. A lovely memento ♡
... shine on !
( the whole suncatcher is just under 4 cm in diameter )
Happy Macro Mondays, everyone !
A photo of a red potted hibiscus (Medusa) which I planted in the Spring. The flowers are double-headed so there's petals galore but unfortunately, it hasn't done at all well. Very occasionally, a bud will develop and bloom (as this one did) but for the most part the buds didn't bloom at all and the ones that did died a quick death. I'll re-pot it somewhere else and see what happens next year. I was messing around with multiple exposures to get the effects you see
Happy Monday and have a great week ahead! :-)

Last night we had incredible storms, one after the other with lots of very welcome rain. When I was putting our food waste in the compost bin in the garden this morning after the storm clouds had passed and the sun was coming out I noticed this bush of hibiscus flowers. They had survived the rain and were still covered in raindrops which I thought was quite remarkable considering the severity of the storms. It's been full sun all afternoon and the temperature has dropped to a very pleasant 24c. Not to be sniffed at 😊
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

HMM, everyone !
I am bit under the weather; I will try to catch up later on
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.
We have loads of purple irises in full bloom in the garden. They're very common here and grow wild by the sides of roads

Thank you, dear friends, for your visits, comments and invites. My best wishes to you all for a most beautiful day!
We've just endured 2/3 days of storms, the third week in a row we've had such storms. I've never known so much rain since we arrived. The river at the bottom of our garden is a raging tempest - fortunately, not dangerous to us. Yesterday evening we had alerts pop up on our phone from the authorities warning us that there was 'danger to life and limb' from the rain. These are storms which are particular to the area and are called a 'Cévenol episode' which, according to Madame Google is defined as:
"A meteorological phenomenon that mainly occurs in the Cévennes (France) and its surrounding area.
It consists of very violent and highly localised storms, accompanied torrential rain, in most cases causing, flooding.
How do Cévenol episodes form - the phenomenon is well known to meteorologists and it is relatively well understood. Cévenol episodes form when the warm and humid air from the Mediterranean heads north. When it comes up against the mountains barrier of the Cévennes, it meets the cold air present at high altitude. These conditions are often present in autumn. They classically form rain clouds. But in this case, the clouds are blocked by the mountain and perpetually form and re-form. Thus, storms can last for several hours, causing major damage.
Few have forgotten the Vaison-la-Romaine deluge in 1992 during which 150 mm of water fell in two hours, or almost one quarter of the annual rainfall for Paris."
I appreciate that living in the south of France has many advantages especially concerning the weather but we do have life threatening storms - three in the last three weeks.
Bon Dimanche! (Happy Sunday!) 😊
I took this photo of one of many dandelion seedheads in our garden in Springtime. I thought it looked more interesting flipped over.
I found small creature inside the flower, really interesting, i cant imagine how my lens can get in to the petals and capture this small spider... hahaha, is this jumping spider???
sorry if I'm still unable to visit you guys... had to clear my back logs first.. been crazy around here since I got back.. hehehe
but am inching my way to some of your streams... just be patient with me.. :)

The Goal was to combine the Flickr Fridays Theme and Macro Mondays in one shot.
In this photo, there is somehow space between the caliper and the shadows. Caliper is set to 60 mm, with 8 tines within the caliper, 2 2/3 of 3 forks and another tine of a forth fork to the right. On top some reflection and light pattern, where the sun is reflecting at the tips of the tines into the macro objective producing some lense flare.
Flicker Mondays theme is shadows. Where there is no need, to include the object itself. Macro Fridays, war redo, like repeat or do it again. And for Macro Mondays there are size restrictions, too. Maximum size of 75 mm or 3 “.
Anyway, all these pictures include shadows and repeated pattern. Therefore, photos were made with two different sizes of forks, smaller one and larger one. Started with 5 of larger onces and then reduced to 4, 3, 2 and one, and repeat with the smaller once. And partly, just for fun a caliper was include to measure the size of the shadows. In Total approx. 30 pictures,
As for the making of, these photos, sometimes in the afternoon, on a black plate of slate, normally used as coaster at my dining table or the balcony table
Feel free to leave comments and constructive feedback. No P1/C1 or seen in group and similar. I will delete these mostly, especially with a big logo.

Happy Macro Monday, everyone
( I will be catching up tonight)
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.....
