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 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.

In the background you can see the leaves and flower stems. It’s at least 25yo and is a huge plant.

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.

And shades of orange

Poison hemlock stems have distinctive purple streaks on the stems, and fernlike foliage.

For Macro Mondays' "Halloween" Theme.

The stem is about 2" (50 mm) long

Flowering in Palm tree Gardens in Grenada

Ginger originated in Maritime Southeast Asia and was likely domesticated first by the Austronesian peoples. It was transported with them throughout the Indo-Pacific during the Austronesian expansion (c. 3,000 BCE), reaching as far as Hawaii. Ginger is one of the first spices to have been exported from Asia, arriving in Europe with the spice trade, and was used by ancient Greeks and Romans.

The gardens are two acres of botanical gardens, over 300 plant species, including 40 palm varieties, anthuriums, bromeliads, and orchids. A great excursion out.

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.

Thought the stems were very interesting - another one :-)

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
