Micromacramé en distintos tonos de verdes y vidrio milleflori (que corta los hilos demasiado fácilmente).
By various keys and records, this should be Nemophila parviflora var. parviflora, but goodness am I having a hard time saying it's the same as this specimen and this specimen that are also keyed and called Nemophila parviflora var. parviflora. Hmmm...

Opportunistic picture from office car park on Aug 13th 2014 with Canon G15. Colour saturation was not boosted!
The attractive micro Micropterix aureatella at Cruachan Power Station, Argyll. May 22 2012. These primitive moths, at the very start of the micros' list, measure about 10mm.
A little gift for my mother-in-law. She loves lighthouses, but I absolutely cannot afford the new Ideas motorized lighthouse. A fun exercise in micro buildings and landscape!

image taken in the early morning at GB Gruffy in Somerset on the 11th June 2011.
I initially thought this was a different species to one I took last year as that one was a uniform colour, however I am fairly sure this is the streaked form of the same species.
Best viewed very large.

*They may look like monsters from a horror film, but these tiny creatures
inhabit our homes, clothes and even our bodies. A new book, 'Micro
Monsters', showcases some of the planet's most horrible insects and
microscopic beasts. British author and trained zoologist, Tom Jackson, spent
three months compiling the images in the book. Scientists coated the tiny
creatures in gold, froze them in liquid nitrogen and fired a beam of
electrons at the subjects from a scanning electron microscope to reveal the
incredible detail*

*"I wanted to get together all the most gruesome and beastly pictures I
could," said 38 year-old Tom from Bristol. "This book shows children
everything that's around them at home, the garden and the playground."*

*"The pictures I'm most pleased with are the close-up portraits of insects
that show the intricate details of their eyes, mandibles and even the hairs
on their heads," said Tom*

*In scanning electron microscopy, a beam of electrons is fired at the
subjects. Electrons have shorter wavelengths than lights waves so smaller
objects can be captured.*

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!
