Macro Mondays Leaves only Leaves
A few weeks back I picked up two or three leaves from the capital pear trees in our driveway and decided to see what sort of shots I could get using a black cloth as background, a bit of desklamp lighting manipulation and a tweak or two of photo post-processing editing. This is a different shot from one I posted of the same leaf a few weeks ago.
A pretty shrub I captured while walking at Warilla South Coast New South Wales. A flickr friend called Pat has told me this is a Lace cap Hydrangea, thank you Pat
Salyx, having a wee shady moment on the new garden sofa...
We built this behemoth in June...from old pallets and new decking. I thought it was a good idea. It weighs a bloomin’ tonne! It is more than seven ft long, at one point. Also, I had to buy some sheds in which to keep the over-the-top-expensive cushions.
Anyway...not content with lying under a tree or a bush, Madam decided that comfort was top of the agenda.
In the garden,

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 30074
Springs colors are slowly making their way into my garden. Still getting cold temps dipping down to the 20's F at night.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Have a great weekend!
These carefree flowers were growing alongside the sidewalk. I thought they were quite pretty and deserved to be photographed. For Sliders Sunday, I took them to Topaz Studio for editing, colour enhancement and addition of a texture. HSS!
P.S. I have BIG news! I am moving and will be away from Flickr tomorrow and for another day or two after that. Wish me luck, cuz I'm gonna need it! I'll catch up with your awesome images when I get back!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day week ahead!

This building in downtown Beardstown, Illinois was completed in 1889 as a clubhouse for the Beardstown Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In recent years it has housed an antique mall. Glad to see this old-timer survive into the 21st century, but I'm not quite sold on the color.
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. 17473
A few weeks back I took this shot of the Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying the warm Autumn weather. Now not only are they gone but most of the leaves had fallen too.
Maggie and I were out for a bike ride and this yard looked so gorgeous just had to stop for a picture. Maggie is in the basket.
in dappled light. You can see a third cub behind the two looking at me. These were the most beautiful cubs I saw on this trip. They are first year cubs and so healthy looking. Mom was taking very good care of them. Notice how much bigger they are than the previous triplets I have posted so far.
The cub population there was good this trip. I saw 3 moms that each had 3 cubs. Two moms with first year triplets and one mom with second year triplets. Always happy to see that. Then of course numerous moms with one or two cubs and several large boars.
