12 - 24mm wide angle lens used near to the stem to give that long stem effect.
This flower was just taken from a vase of flowers and held up to the sky for the shot.
Just a quick sharpen and contrast boost added and a little lens flare just for effect !
In case you are interested in what is going on here..... the original colours were dark stems against a pale blue sky. I didn't like the look of the dark stems - so I gave in did some heavy-handed processing instead of my standard Lightroom only routine. I don't have Photoshop, so I did this in Gimp.....split out the blue channel as a B&W image, inverted it and then added it on top a flat coloured deep indigo layer to add back some colour.
Taken using OCF positioned left and right with the 3rd pointing towards a reflector to bounce light upwards.
The winding stem on my Grandfather's gold pocket watch. For the Macro Mondays Group. Topic: As long as it ticks." HMM! Looking at the group's postings it is clear I was not the first to think of this idea. Many of us seem to have watches both wrist and pocket on the brain. If you aren't a member of Macro Mondays, you might want to check out all of the ticking shots the gang came up with. www.flickr.com/groups/macromonday/

Last night I opened a bottle of Prosecco and, yes, I can down a whole bottle in one evening, but I didn't. What was left, was a well earned reward for spending most of today gardening.
The sun was out for a few minutes... just long enough for me to shoot these water drops with sunbursts.
No post processing but slightly cropped.

"Blanket Flower Stem" by Patti Deters. A single Indian Blanket flower (Gaillardia pulchella) dares to bloom in a sea of green, a beacon of color against the muted blurred background. Its fiery hues seem to dance in the sunlight, a reminder of nature's vibrant palette. This wildflower is a striking blend of yellow and red petals that are pinked (pinnatifid) on the edges atop a tall perfectly straight stem. Soft bokeh effects in the background enhance the dreamy, serene and minimalist atmosphere. Thank you for viewing this image.

The Stem. I loved how this stem seemed so alive as if it was just cut yesterday. Still green - still fresh.
POLLEN-DUSTED LILY…
Lilium longiflorum.
This plant is native to Japan and the Ryukyu Islands. It is a stem rooting lily, growing up to 1 m high and bears a number of trumpet shaped, white, very fragrant, and outward facing flowers.
I saw the majesty and sculptural quality in close up.
I picked it in our garden, the last one last Summer(they bloomed while we were away!!!)... and it opened in the strangest way... open sideways... one of nature's abnormalities that sometimes occur.
thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

I visited Lisbon, Portugal in December, 2019, shortly before Christmas. It's a fabulous city full of local character and colour. These local vendors sell amazing, high-quality produce with a smile. Fast forward half a year of world-turmoil due to Covid-19, I hope they are still surviving and making a living.
One mushroom, amazingly common in southeastern states like North Carolina, that piques the interest of people who find it in their yards, gardens, and other human-maintained green spaces, is the ringless honey mushroom, Armillaria tabescens; a distinguishing feature that aids in identifying it is the consistency of the stem and the top of the mushroom cap: a tough, somewhat hollow stem often with stringy fibrous material stuffed inside, making it hard to break the mushroom apart easily, and it certainly does not snap open like chalk (as in the genus Russula, another common group of wild mushrooms growing in yards and lawns); stems should be white, fibrous, and almost woody, on mature mushrooms grey at the base, and when broken, appear jagged, fibrous, and almost look like a broken stick

Charlotte, NC – 2018AUG22 – Ringless Honey Mushroom:
We've had record rainfall lately – the wettest July on record and the 2nd wettest month ever – and just "overnight" these two clusters of edible mushrooms popped in our backyard, Armillaria tabescens, growing with explosive speed, often reach full maturity in a day or two, growing in clusters of multiple individuals arising from the same spot in the ground.
By average rainfall in Charlotte, NC (USA), the wettest month is March: an average 4.4" of rain falls on 11-12 days, though in July rain typically falls on more days, with 3.5" in 12-13 days, the driest month, November: an average of 3.0" in 9-10 days, though in October rain typically falls less days, 3.3" in 7-8 days.
Hope you enjoy the 16% of 49 photos I took here this day!
