Someone once told me that the name of this plant is Pink Grass. Well, it isn't. Another very nice person did identify it for me but I didn't write it down and can't find the photo here in my galleries. But the tiny flower is actually shaped like a closed umbrella and from a distance appears to be a bud, each about the size of a rice grain.
A hummingbird perched on a dead twig stood still long enough for me to inch close enough to capture it's profile shot.
I find this one in my HDD in a folder of not-so-good lighting captures, I have not had a good shot of these species, especially the beautiful-big-sphere eyes, this one is tiny and I have to capture at a bit more than 6:1
While experimenting with macro, you may discover that you need to buy some new linen :-)
Macro Monday. Imperfection.
Slightly smaller than most I've seen. Also, it's a different shade of orange. Here is its ID: Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis).
Theme: "Tiny"
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.

These were all taken on 7/8/04 while I was in Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia, my 60th birthday present to myself. It is the lighthouse there called Point Atkinson Light. Many thanks again to Detlef Klahm from Langley, British Columbia, which is near Vancouver, who graciously took me photographing around Vancouver and nearby areas during his vacation from work.

Desert woolstar (thanks to Aussieinusa for the ID). These are very small flowers--perhaps a half inch in diameter.
I find all kinds of critters on my milkweed. This time it was a cute green leafhopper. Another new species for me. Again, it has no common name, got id'ed to the subgenus level.
Leafhopper (Gyponana Subgenus Gyponana sp)

I found the cutest tiny bridge in Asheville NC outside of the Grove Park Inn (one of my favorite places ever) I can't wait to go back and play!
I've also been playing with my NEW Florabella textures, so very dreamy, thank you Shana!
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.

Called twinflower because of it's natural inclination to bloom in tiny pairs, twinflower (Linnaea borealis ssp. americana) are so aromatic, hugging the ground in the north boreal forest.
I just read this interesting information on the naming of this plant, from USDA Forest Service:
"The naming history of this plant is fascinating. Carl Linnaeus is a distinguished figure in the field of botany. Born in Sweden in 1707, he is considered the “Father of Modern Taxonomy”. In 1753, he published the Species Plantarum in which he defines the binomial or the genus/species naming system for plants that is still in use today.
During his life he was responsible for the naming of nearly 8,000 plants, as well as many animals and the scientific designation for humans: Homo sapiens.
Linnaeus used many of his supporters and detractors as inspiration for naming plants. The most beautiful of plants were often named in honor of his supporters and his detractors often supplied the names of common weeds or unattractive plants.
Although he was described as being one of the most arrogant men in the history of science, his arrogance did not lead him to name plants after himself. Linnaea borealis was reported to be Linnaeus' favorite plant, and was named by his close friend and teacher Jan Frederik Gronovious in honor of Linnaeaus.
The genus contains only this species with three subspecies, one for each of the continents of the northern hemisphere.
Twinflower has historically been placed in the honeysuckle (Caprifoliaceae) family, but some recent reclassifications have placed this species in a family also named for Linnaeus: the family Linneaceae."
Yesterday, I uploaded a shot of Burnett Lane in Brisbane, mentioning several types of artwork to be found along the street. Here is one, a Tiny Door. In many shapes and themes, these can be found mainly around central Brisbane and Fortitude Valley. They measure about 12 inches high in old money.
Tiny people live behind them!
