At the end of the same dive with the flame lobster (previous post), we stopped in the shallows to search for grass squid.
Expectations were low. These squid are tiny - think the size of your pinky fingernail. They are floating in a soup of sargassum bits and pieces, so they are well camouflaged. And to top it all off, we are in shallow water (2-3m) with waves rolling through to slosh this slurry of stuff back and forth. Placing them in the viewfinder is hard but even if you can do that, you still need to get the camera's autofocus to lock on to the right thing. I have plenty of blurry pics and a bunch of sharp pics of seaweed fragments. But all you need is one to work!
Note, this was shot with ambient light (because we were so shallow). Without strobes, the shutter speed could be raised above 1/250th, which was definitely helpful.
Found these tiny mushrooms growing on a patch of moss in the Bodcau WMA. The big ones about 15mm across the top.

I told you I'll find treasures, didn't I?
Overwhelmed by the number of drawers, I took a break and I rearranged the archives. Oh, well, not all of them :)
Here is Tiny, when she was only four months old :)
I beg your pardon, dear friends, I'll come later in the evening with a word for each of the lovely photos posted today.

Such a cutie! We had a visit from one of these last year. This year we have seen three.

Sitting by a red door,
Nestled in the crook of a fallen tree,
He serenades passersby,
From his tiny-gnomial garden.

Comostola leucomerata, within family Geometridae and sub-family Geometrinae; the emerald moths.
This was so small, just under 20 mm wingspan. A tiny emerald delight.

I took this shot for Round 7 Get Pushed group. I was challenged by idashum (Ida) to shoot "the Night". I will be away for more than a week so I thought I use this shot for the submission with that in mind. Looks like I'm gonna miss the next round. The shot was taken using an iPhone. Actually I have shot the same subject a few days back with different lighting (please check my photostream).
I will try to get more night shots while I'm away but I don't think I could meet the deadline.
So I hope this meets your criteria Ida. Thanks for the challenge. I just love the sky at this hour.
Hope you have fun with yours!

❀ Botanical note:
"Diodia virginiana — commonly known as Virginia buttonweed — is a plant species in the bedstraw family (Rubiaceae), native to south-central and southeastern United States, found in swamps, wet meadows, marshes, coastal prairies, along streams and ponds, and in lawns and disturbed areas. It is a branching, sprawling plant, with small white star-shaped flowers (⅕ inch or ½ cm) of 4 petals apiece, that blooms in summer and fall."

📷 Photographer's note:
This is a close-up. The blossom — merely ½ centimeter wide — appears much larger in the image than it did in 'real' life.

So, this is a composite, where the background image was taken with a Fuji X-H1 with a 55-200mm lens, while the macro of the fly was taken with a Fuji GF100S with a GFX 120mm macro + 45mm extension tube. Note that the fly moved between the shots, hence the differing angles. Flickr Friday theme: Tiny
The front two ships are standard designs, often seen around mining planets. Sometimes, valuable resources occur on planets with no water to support life. The first ship is a bulk water tanker, used to supply mining barracks. Next is a gas tanker, used to carry a variety of cargoes, such as helium or LNG.
Lastly is a tanker from a watery world, designed to proclaim its proud origins to everybody who sees it.

I noticed this tiny fern fiddlehead in one of our flowerbeds today.
I decided to dig out my old 70-300mm zoom lens that has a broken zoom ring, but the Macro feature still works perfectly fine. The image was take at the 1:2.5 macro setting, with the image underexposed by 2/3 of an f-stop.
To put the size of this plant into perspective, the fern showing is actually less than 2 inches long. (Zoom in to see the detail!)
Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond.
It's wonderful what we notice in our own space when we take the time to really look.
