RHS Wisley

29th August 2021

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 24261

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!

"Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

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.

Hello, long time..I wanted to share this with you and to be

on my flickr record,the original concept was to have two

side by side,with a central drop hanging down,,that was the

plan..but i think i got something better though what do you

think?you see this could never be repeated and hears

why.the drop is glycerin,sticky and heavy,it broke the stem

and hung down before collapse, and a water drop would have

simply rolled off at the moment of stem break.this happened

by accident and i love it.

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'.

This minuscule Ceutorhynch (Seed) Weevil was no more than 3mm long and proved to be one of the most difficult insects that I've tried photographing. Looking at it in this shot you get no idea how small they are!
