Cropped

 

Flickr #168 Nov 24.2008

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

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

Happy (Macro) Mondays, everyone

 

I am busy today; I will try to catch up tonight or on Tuesday.

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 😊

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!

These were the last of the irises from the garden which I cut and put into a vase to enjoy indoors although I wasn't aware that after a couple of days they start to drip a purple liquid so this evening they've gone to their compost heap in the sky :-)

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 !

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.

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! :-)

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

A macro of the heart of a peony

I took this in Spring when there was a beautiful spread of poppies in the garden

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

Happy Sunday and happy new month! 😊

I took this photo of one of many dandelion seedheads in our garden in Springtime. I thought it looked more interesting flipped over.

but am inching my way to some of your streams... just be patient with me.. :)

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

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???

Taken in the garden an hour ago when the sun come out after hours of very welcome torrential rain

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.
