This sweet little native jumping spider is the smallest Maratus scutulatus I have come across. Therefore, I'm assuming a baby/juvenile. So very tiny!
I believe a female, just a few mm in length.

#54 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
They seem to be in bud for so long and then once they decide to open there is no stopping them. They are the most beautiful flower...who doesn't love a peony? I do find them quite difficult to photograph though. I tied these stems together loosely so that they were bunched together. A couple of textures added.
Apologies to those of you who had already commented/faved but I had another play and blended it with a multiple exposure of the peonies and preferred the textures and tones.
Focal depth of field for this shot is about 2 ½ inches (eye balling it of course). If Only I had something to measure with.
Shot for Crazy Tuesday, Theme Shallow DOF
A smile to beguile - the charming face of a common snapping turtle. And what an appropriate common name as these large, freshwater turtles are well known for their defensive disposition, their long, extendable necks and fiercely fast, strong bite.
She may look friendly, but one must always exercise caution around these creatures.
Seen in south-west Pennsylvania.
I estimate a carapace length of 35 to 40 cm.

For this week's Macro Monday theme.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves, they're very much appreciated.
Caught him smelling the air and staring at random spots on the balcony. The sunny morning did the rest!
Taken with Pentax K20D digital camera and smc Pentax-DA L 50–200mm F4–5.6 telephoto lens, part of the lightweight kit lens duo (hence the L). Not bad for a mere kit lens!

Macro Monday - Vintage
I've used this before. It's a gold (possibly gold plated) Albert chain and fob that belonged to my husband's grandfather.
I set up my tripod and used my big girl camera (rather than my iPhone) while sitting down. It felt good to be using the camera again but I'm sure I will do much more with my phone for the rest of the 365. Only forty days to go!

Apparently a hydrangea represents Gratitude, Grace and Beauty. These beauties are from my son's garden. He very kindly let me bring them home. We've been away cat sitting for our son and daughter-in-law's two kitties. We had a lovely week but unfortunately came home to a leak in our airing cupboard. This means lots of work. The good thing is I'm back in my comfort zone...and with my props.

Left until the light had gone again so another low light autumnal still life. Stitch (my little mouse) hasn't made an appearance for a while so I thought I'd include him along with a couple of my crocheted pumpkins.

Well done everyone, for completing the image. Hope to see you all next year and don't forget the April challenge run by Julie and Jan.
Another first for this year - and a happy surprise! I didn't have my macro lens with me, but I think the 35mm coped pretty well.

Another play with my Omni filters, this one is a bit more subtle with the high key. Still need lots of practise with them as it's all a bit hit and miss how it comes out and I really haven't a clue what I'm doing but it's making me pick up my camera.
Two hearts become 1. Refined/hone over a period of time.
All comments are highly appreciated. It will help me a lot to improve my photography skills. Big thanks to all of you for the comments, faves and views.
Happy clicking to all!!!

Crazy Tuesday - theme of March 12, 2019 - Blue is the colour
I was grocery shopping yesterday evening when I saw this blue creature (called "Blue Moon" on the tag)
Although I don't have a sweet tooth (besides beeing "crazy" for dark chocolate - see my last image for Crazy Tuesday) I couldn't resist to buy this blue treat so I could take a quick pic for Crazy Tuesday
(I initially planned to skip this week - like MM - due to heavy workload - but here you are: just for fun ;)
This is a very close up of this iced donut: the sprinkles are 1 mm in diameter
Happy Crazy Tuesday, everyone!
*********************
für die Gruppe "Verrückter Dienstag" - Thema: Blau ist die Farbe
Ich habe derzeit leider nicht so viel Zeit für Flickr... hätte fast eine Runde ausgesetzt...
Dann war ich Lebensmittel einkaufen und sah diesen blauen Donut (vom Verkäufer liebevoll "Blue Moon" getauft). Ich stehe so gar nicht auf Süßes (mit Ausnahme von dunkler Schokolade) oder Kuchen / Gebäck, aber für das Dienstagsthema habe ich dann doch eine Ausnahme gemacht ... und freiwillige Abnehmer finden sich auch ;)
Sehr starke Nahaufnahme - die Streusel haben einen Durchmesser von nur 1 mm
I bought two roses yesterday. I mistreated the first one by dunking it in wine and forcing it to be a photo subject for a fair time. That rose is alive and well.
This second rose got no mistreatment. Properly cut and cared for -- but today it was dropping, miserably. Fine, droop, I thought, but I am still getting a picture out of you.
But it needed a backdrop...so I stuck it into a potted astilbe that's waiting for transplant. Worked perfectly.
A little shallow depth of field, a bit of fancy spot metering, and I had me a shot. Actually, several shots, but I'm saving a few for my flower noir series.
The sun was playing cat and mouse with me -- it was like catching a fly. I'd sit back down to eat my supper, and the sun would sneak out. I'd grabbed the camera and settle in for the shot...and the sun would slip away. I swear it was laughing.
Blessings,
Sheree
