I got to work Monday morning, dashed around back hoping to find some fog lingering over the lake. Instead, found this...
Hope your weekend kicks off in full colour :)
The path through the forest ended due to thick mud from all the rain in early-mid summer. Before turning around I decided to look for frogs. I didn't see a frog, but I found this teeny tiny mushroom.
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment, always appreciated! Have a great day!
Re-upload in B&W, I think this fits the subject better.
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.

A frozen water drop that I just happened to see. I sometimes suffer from tunnel vision, glad I didn't on this shot.
Fun facts about ants, an excerpt taken from Insect Library - Terro: "They are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Depending on the species, ant colonies can consist of millions of ants. ... Ant colonies also have soldier ants that protect the queen, defend the colony, gather or kill food, and attack enemy colonies in search for food and nesting space"
For me, I thought it was interesting to find out that they are pollinators too, although their flying counterparts are better at it, since they can spread the pollen longer distances. Which means they are an important factor in keeping a healthy ecosystem. This little black ant was collecting pollen from my portulaca flowers and seemed to enjoy the nectar as well.
It's the small things that count. Yesterday I saw bubbles floating past my window in the sunshine. I couldn't see where they came from or who was blowing them but it was a happy moment in difficult times.

Dok vjetar igra svoju večernju igru među klasjem, ovaj mali plavac čvrsto se drži svog uporišta. Krhak, ali ustrajan. Nježan, ali ne predaje se. U toj tišini pred sumrak, on i trava dijele isti ritam – ritam života koji nikad ne miruje.
While the evening wind dances through the grass, this small blue butterfly holds on tightly. Fragile, yet persistent. Gentle, yet unyielding. In the silence before dusk, he sways with the grass in rhythm — the rhythm of a life that never stops.
Just a bit of light reading - few of the books (mostly photography) which have kept me going doing lock down... just a small stack :-)
I wonder, if we ever think of each other at the same time ..

One more for today. The last several months have been sad and strange in so many ways. I lost a good friend of 30+ years to cancer in September. Then the election campaign got so nasty. Then the election happened and I'm still adjusting to that. Anyway, I really hadn't picked up the camera or written much in months. But I'm feeling motivated again and hope to be spending more time with all of you here again. :-)

I was fortunate to witness the life cycle of an Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly as it went from just an egg to the instars to the chrysalis and finally the rebirth to a butterfly. This is a macro of the final instar where it soon will make its chrysalis. I love the bright green & yellow colours and the cool patterns with her pudgy little feet ( I say 'her' because when she emerged from her chrysalis I could tell from her butterfly colours and patterns that it was a female).
Another vacancy and that for many years. Lies on my softwood chest of drawers and collects dust. Got a crack as a result of carelessness. But when I look closer at the snail shell, it still moves me just as it did the day I found it.

Don't want to bore anyone further with these sugar grain shots, but I had to try and get something closer with another (fairly old) lens. What you\'re seeing here is somewhere around 1.5 mm across, so my guess is we\'re roughly looking at a 25:1 magnification. It gets almost impossible to get any decent image quality at that magnification with my current setup. So this will certainly remain the smallest thing I\'m going to shoot for this weeks CC theme. As pointed out by CC Camerawork (who created some great shots in this sugar/salt experimentation) there are many more interesting small things to shoot which require less time and proof to be less frustrating. 😅
