Miniatur Cliff at the beach nearby Kijkduin / The Netherlands. At this spot sand coming from the sea bottom was put on the beach to broaden it in order to protect the coast and the city behind it. It is called zandmotor. Experimented with a shallow depth of field and different PoVs to recreate the surreal feeling I had at this spot.
Pretty little spreadwing damselfly at rest.
Genus Lestes, family Lestidae. This family hold their wings at around 45 degrees to the body when resting. This distinguishes them from most other species of damselfly which hold the wings along, and parallel to, the body when at rest.

"Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life."
(Jerome K. Jerome)
Somehow I love to see those worn leather seats / saddles: They tell a story of a well used (and maybe beloved) bike that has weatherd wind, rain and storms : ))
Taken on a photo walk in the city center to test this lens ... and I fell in love (so sorry, hubby :))
Happy Weekend everyone !

"Nichts ist schöner als die Liebe, die die Stürme des Lebens überstanden hat."
(Jerome K. Jerome)
... diese abgenutzten Ledersättel sind keine Seltenheit in meiner Stadt - und ich sehe sie gerne, erzählen sie doch von einem viel genutzten (und vielleicht auch geliebten) Fahrrad, das Wind, Regen und Sturm getrotzt hat : ))
Schönes Wochenende Euch allen !!

Artistic image of roses growing at the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland in Dublin. Taken with the Canon 5D4 and the 50mm lens.
For this week's Macro Monday theme.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves, they're very much appreciated.
The near-100 degree temperatures, of the past 48-hours, pushed everything to flower and leaf out impossibly fast. But the bees love it! The largest peonies, like this luscious Tree Peony flower, might have half-a-dozen or more little honey bees on every flower vying for fresh pollen to take back to their hives.
Happily our gardens are filled with bees, swallowtails and other early pollinators this Spring.
Happy Fence Friday, my friends, have a wonderful weekend! 🐝🐝🌺🌺
P.S. Thank you, for your visits and comments!
If only it referred to the economy!
Another play with the RF 100-400; this time a handheld shot of a field of recently planted winter wheat which has now established itself.
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.
bamboo fence at the Hippo enclosure - zoological garden of Karlsruhe
I liked the organ-like arrangement of the bamboo sticks ... that was kind of an invitation to play a little bit with depth of field (couldn't help it : ))
Happy Fence Friday and a Happy Weekend !!

Bambus-Umzäunung des Geheges der Flussperde im Zoologischen Garten Karlsruhe
Mir gefiel die orgelartige Anordnung der Bambusstäbe ... das forderte quasi zum Spielen mit der Schärfentiefe heraus : ))
Einen schönen Freitag und ein tolles Wochenende euch allen !!

I took this one a few weeks ago as an alternative for the one colour theme.
Cotton buds in a little glass tea light holder which was given to me by one of the little children at the preschool I used to work at many years ago. Some things you just have to hang on to as they have a special meaning.
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.

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
Day 102/365:
April 2022: A month in 30 pictures
A seat in front of one of the windows at Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk. This was one of those days where I took loads of shots and wasn't overly happy with any of them. Give me a still life any day.
We don't have a very good internet connection here so I'm afraid I'll fall behind with commenting...again!
