I love how the worm appears to be staring right at me. The face is a little frightening to be honest.
This was a light purple and white flower. I used a couple different purple light sources to get the different intensities.
A new species group tentatively ventured into in February, longer walks and exploring off the agenda after a couple of weeks unwell and a couple of moss species caught my eye.
This one was growing on a dead Elder tree just beside the Morecambe Hide at Leighton Moss RSPB, apparently one of the UKs commonest mosses, probably most obvious when the spore capsules have grown. The stem is between 2 and 4cm long and the spore capsule is about 5mm long
Also takes me to 1,400 different species of UK nature photographed and recorded. I’ve seen more than that but not photographed the others. Onwards to 1500 !
Such a welcome and unexpected visitor. I let him move wherever he wanted and occasionally he would stop for a few seconds. Here he is popping a wheelie.
This was a 3 day process. I used several different coloring and overlapped them to get this shot. At first, I felt like I polluted something beautiful. But the "ugly" result has a beauty all its own.
I normally stay away from "modified" flowers but the painted on crystals intrigued me for some reason.
This little guy crawled out of a large flower I picked up at a farmer's market. He was quite active and it took dozens of shots to get a few good ones. Oh, and the little guy was harmlessly placed in a flower garden after his photo shoot.
I like to discover plants/Flowers in different stages of the evolution. Here are three from a bouquet that are just starting to reach for light.
Reminds me of a barely roasted marshmallow. No post-production. Cream colored flower...and soft light.
So much orange and yellow here. Makes me think of the stamens going back into the flower...like a hiding squid.
Tillandsia ionantha is commonly called "Air Plant" because, being epiphytic, it grows on trees and gets its nutrients and water predominantly through its leaves. It is native to South and Central America.

A simple shot of a red rose. Different lighting color and direction bring out the real red of the flower.
Macrophotography is such a mediative practice. For me, it is a time to be deliberate with my photography. I am not in a hurry and there is no action shot that I must take.
Hairs are standing up from fear. Backlit flower from the back. Low light in the front, Intense light in the back, and a slow shutter.
I am always excited when I get a progression of color through the flower. Here the petals are a less saturated gold leading out to the very gold anthers. Thanks for looking.
