Le soleil se couche et cette fleur jaune du nom de Pachystachys ou communément Panache de l'Officier devrait monter d'autres fleurs blanches entre ses bractées tôt demain matin. #Macro #MacroMondays #PickTwo #YellowFlower

.....a little black ant.

Sédum Acré or Stonecrop: Are little, about 6 inches tall, plants that I found at the junction of two forest lined roads. The ground is very thin and there are only a few types of little plants that grow there. I noticed this one only about two weeks ago and at that time they didn't have flowers, only buds. I was curious to see the flowers and went back this afternoon to take a look.

The object in the photo is a detail of a decoration ribbon, which you can use for crafting (e.g. for making cards or scrap books). this ribbon has a nice iridescent pattern. I thought I could use this to make a nice abstract picture.

Probably pushing the boundaries here for this weeks Macro Monday's theme of Take Two. Let's see how it goes tho :)

A metallic 'looking' insect 'beetle' 😄

Quite a rare find for the UK as these are generally found in North America. They feast on Dogbane leaf and I have none of that in the garden! I found this scuttling around on the Delphinium!

damaged chocolate candy, sat in a hot garage all summer, yuck - it was very expensive so of course I still tried it :-)

The 6/14/21 Macro Mondays theme was to pick two items from two lists posted in the group. I chose Metallic and Basket.

This image is of a wire egg basket, cobwebs included, that was used on the poultry farm on which my wife Sammy was raised during the 1940s and 50s. See it in the first comment.

Two delicate insects.

Ovipositing large red damselflies on a new garden pond. These are among the most common of the damselflies which differ from dragonflies by being smaller and more delicate and by holding their wings along their body when at rest rather than perpendicular to it.

Macro Mondays Pick Two

This image shows two seed heads from an Aquilegia (columbine) plant - the petals of this variety twist as the flower dries.

For Macro Mondays theme 'Pick Two' (twisted plant).

The image is an homage to Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). His lifelong interest was plants, and as an enthusiastic amateur photographer, he took his pictures using a home-made wooden camera; he then used the images as a teaching aid in the drawing classes he gave at the Berlin College of Art. Despite his crude equipment (by today's standards), he produced iconic botanical images showing exquisite details of plant architecture.

For Macromondays "Pick Two"

Speckled and abstract and what looks like a little iridescence.

My two are brush, and curved.

This single hydrangea flower from my garden is sitting on a Limoges porcelain dish I bought when I was first married and excited about setting up a home. As you can probably tell, I've never been very practical. It hasn't seen the light of day for many years, but I always knew it would come in handy for something. :))

For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Pick Two. The flower is about ¾" across at its widest point. The two words I chose from the list are in the title.
