The #MacroMondays #PickTwo challenge
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.

Thank you for your time, faves and comments, it's much appreciated
HMM!
.....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.
Okay - this I figured can be any one of:

Happy Macro Monday!
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!
#MacroMondays #PickTwo a possibility. This is one of two baskets that were curved of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. I’ll probably put them all up and then dither
This is my contribution to this weeks MM theme of 'pick two'.. a Striped Insect or a delicate insect...HMM

#MacroMondays #PickTwo a possibility.
This is probably the most 'damaged' of the eight or so possibilities for the theme for today, 6/14. (It’s the #broken #handle of one of the two baskets.) I’ll probably put them all up and then dither
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.
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.

An abstract macro of a small part of a glass sculpture, with the twisted glass in the foreground measuring approximately 2.5cm (1"). Taken for the Macro Mondays theme "Pick Two", with the first word 'twisted' and the second word 'glass'.

"You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul." George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950, was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist.

Many thanks for visiting. I truly appreciate your comments and/or faves.
Striped and Stone.
Well, given not many of us have striped stones laying around - like I do on a bookshelf, I thought it really just had to be done. So I picked two of them. Then I thought, why not decorate the arrangement with two flowers to brighten them up? So I picked two. How daft can you get!?
BTW - I dispute the observation that the arrangement resembles a floral beef burger.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
Macro Mondays Theme: Pick Two (Twisted Plant)
I try and grow long, straight, slender carrots in my garden, but sometimes things don't work out as planned.
UN INSETTO FRASTAGLIATO. JAGGED INSECT
Tra le farfalle presenti in Italia, le farfalle macaone sono considerate, da molti, le più belle grazie alla particolare livrea e al volo leggiadro.
La farfalla macaone (nome scientifico Papilio machaon) è abbastanza comune nelle zone di campagna.
Le farfalle macaone presentano una livrea che richiama le più variopinte farfalle esotiche. Predomina il giallo-ocra delle ali, arricchite da macchie e nervature nere. Le ali posteriori terminano a coda dove si notano due macchie blu metallico e due punti rossi contornati di azzurro.
Le dimensioni del macaone vedono un’apertura alare di 7-8 cm.
