Macro Mondays - Animal
Cropped to less than 3". These hummingbirds average 3.1" to 3.5" long with a 5" wingspan.
Happy Macro Monday : )
It is a lot like life.... full of contrast... full of symmetry, patterns that we easily recognize and (sometimes) associate with beauty (sorry Picasso :-))…
Yellow Swallowtail butterfly and a wild daisy here at home.
The raised legs made me think of one of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld.My mind works in strange ways sometimes. 😁

Macro Mondays - Patterns in Nature
Lots of natural patterns on the Green Bottle Fly and the Grosso Lavender. HMM
Difficult to choose on this task, went from feathers through magnetic force lines and leaves, finally ended up with a weed poking out by our back door.
HMM!
Graphosoma italicum is a striped shield bug that I found in the garden. There are 3 of them high on herb lovage.
Firebush's tiny flower clusters are a favorite treat for humming birds and bees

De artisjok (Cynara scolymus) is een plant ,en komt voor in het Mediterrane gebied.
De plant heeft prikkelbare meeldraden: bij aanraking met bijvoorbeeld een bijentong of -poot trekken de helmdraden zich samen en komt er een snuifje wit stuifmeel vrij uit de helmknoppen.
De naam komt uit het middeleeuwse arabisch: الخرشوف (al-ḫaršūf), dat weer een herinterpretatie is van Europese namen voor deze plant
De vlezige schutbladeren van de gesloten bloemknop worden als groente gegeten
In Nederland valt de oogst van de nog gesloten bloemknoppen in de maanden augustus en september.

The artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a plant, and occurs in the Mediterranean area.
The plant has irritable stamens: upon contact with, for example, a bee tongue or paw, the anthers contract and a pinch of white pollen is released from the anthers.
The name comes from medieval Arabic: الخرشوف (al-ḫaršūf), which is again a reinterpretation of European names for this plant
The fleshy bracts of the closed flower bud are eaten as vegetables
In the Netherlands, the harvest of flower buds that are still closed falls in August and September.

#MacroMondays - Mon - Apr 13 2020 - Theme - #Shadow
This monday the MM theme was Shadow.. .. This is a very tiny Ixora flower (1.5-2x magnification in the pic) ... I plucked from the big bunch/ cluster, placed it on a heliconia leaf and angled my phone to take a shot from under the leaf...

These elaborate eroded pockets in the Navajo Sandstone wall of the San Rafael River canyon are called tafoni. Their origin is debated among geomorphologists. Possible explanations include the leaching of minerals that cement some parts of the rock making it more resistant to erosion, variation in the velocity of wind currents blowing across the rock, or differential patterns of rock breakdown (weathering) due to temperature variations. This is yet another clear failing of science, despite squandering tens of dollars of taxpayer money on research to study geomorphological processes.
Using intuition and creative thinking as guides, I have an alternate explanation which works just as well as “science” to explain these formations. I believe that tafoni are constructed by a species of small humanoid creatures, who etched these pockets into the stone as places to escape the elements. They were contemporaries of the ancient Greeks, and were impressed with the architecture and stonework at Petra, thus producing aesthetically appealing arches such as the ones shown here. Although no remnants of these microhumans remain (they were probably consumed by packrats around 2000 years ago), their excavations (tafoni) can be found throughout the world, a testament to their diligence and perseverance.
This is one of the many Florida limestone rocks I've collected over the decades. Love seeing these fossils. So cool.
Couldn't log in to Flickr all morning. Very frustrating but they did respond quickly and got it fixed!
I reciprocate on all comments! Do you? Thanks if you do!
