It is supposed to be a takeoff of "tight rope walking". 😃

I have to wonder if this was the butterfly that Mohamid Ali was referring to when he said "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"

These beauties really seem to float as they gather around their host plant.

 

Host plants in my yard: Passiflora Biflora and Corky Stem vine.

 

Have a beautiful Tuesday, happy snapping.

Lined up in a row, six wine glasses given to me a few months ago as a Birthday present.

 

Hand held and the gentle colour softness that this lens produces when fully open. Not much depth of field either!

All sorts of gentle post-processing, a bit here and a bit there!

I dearly love finding dandelions in my garden, whether they are the yellow flowers or the soft puffs of seeds ready to take to the wind. Generally I leave the dandelion there (unless I am removing weeds, and then I say goodbye to my little friends). However, this one time I decided to break the dandelion puff off of the stem to take inside the house for a photo session. The moment I removed the puff, the bottom of the stem curled into these two tightly wound circles. What a treat!

I have been thinking lately that I need to take some wider angle photos and it is difficult when I enjoy the world close up and macro. My next goal should be wide lens work of people and places.

It is in late autumn when the leaves are on the ground that you notice the character of the leaf. The veins and stem have always been there but are not as noticeable in the summer when the leaf is green and still connected to the tree.

Adding a note about Bokeh: for me, the best Bokeh photos have a lot of activity just outside the focal length of the subject. I especially like it when there is blur both in the foreground and the background, and at varying degrees of blur, like in this photo. Here you have an old, dead blossom, several unopened buds, and the hint of another orange blossom in the upper left corner.

 

This was my "Best of 2020" photo. I had been out shooting for several hours, and when I arrived home, something caught my eye in the Coreopsis plant that had taken over part of our front garden. The plant had grown quite large, with an intricate mesh of stems, buds and flowers of a brilliant, flaming orange color. Looking closer, I saw this lovely Buckeye butterfly spreading its wings. I had to maneuver to a position where the view wasn't blocked by the lattice of stems, and was worried the shot would disappear, but I got it just before take off. I love the colors in this shot, and the morning light and shadows, but also the framing and perspective created by all the stems at different focal lengths.

I always look for pumpkins with fun stems.

Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

for Macro Mondays. Compared with the large bowl, the long stems on my posh wine glasses seem very slender and fragile, and I always take great care when handling them.

 

The five other glasses are reflected in this one stem.

Ginger is a popular flavour at Christmas, usually pieces coated in dark chocolate but my take on it this year is stem ginger cupcakes. A quick and easy bake, and also an easy frosting flavoured with syrup from the ginger jar and topped with a festive edible 'bauble'.

I was out early one morning with only the big lens, looking for wildlife. No luck there, but I was very glad I noticed this frost on these red stems. I don't know what the plant is. I've been bringing my macro lens every day since, but frost this nice doesn't happen very often. Siskiyou County, California
