The apple is approximately 3" across.

seen in my kitchen sink

last August.

I always look for pumpkins with fun stems.

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

I was "admonished" (not seriously) by an acquaintance yesterday for not using my Hasselblad enough, so today I accepted the challenge to make some images with it. This frame made use of the 0.5 Proxar closeup filter.

Film: Ilford FP4+ (lovely stuff) processed in iffy Xtol.

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!

It's stayed like this all day.

Looking very bare, the semaphore masts at North Orleans on the Hoosier Sub.

Macro Mondays and the theme of "Glass" and I decided on using a wine glass to show light refraction through the stem of the glass.

I had this idea while using the glass for it's intended purpose.

after first trying to photograph the name of the wine through the stem and not liking the result I thought about making it a colour oriented shot and used the coloured stripey bag that I used in a recent Macro Mondays effort.

Clean stem glasses are stored upside down in a bar. A play of warm light, shadows and reflections. The impression of cleanliness.

tiny bubbles... look close!

Almost cute...

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.

Rare bulky vine with beautiful flowers that develop into delicious fruits.

Seen on Ulrichshögl in Bavaria on December 17th, 2020.

Another shot of this tiny Ceutorhynch (Seed) Weevil that I posted a couple of weeks back. As I noted previously, you really get no idea how small they are from a photo, but believe me when I say it was no more than 3mm long.
