my thoughts on this lens:

A very small gas-bottle hooked on the edge of a large round tank that has seen better days and needs to be duct taped together at the top. Found in an empty block being used as a store or dump, I can't decide which.

Stichopogon cf schineri - a very small robber fly around 3mm long (sand grains for scale).

found on the lawn

I grow these coral bells for their foliage, which is beautiful in every season, but I am smitten with the tiny blooms on the stalks of flowers this time of year.

Movement gave this tiny and pretty little crab spider away, with its colours and markings providing great camouflage.

I spotted this tiny butterfly in my garden the other day. It was less than 1 inch but as it didn't open it's wings, so I am not sure if it had blue inside.

My arthritis is still giving me grief. The pain is unbearable at times - hopefully the specialist will be able to offer some help when I see him on Tuesday.

It has been a surprising late Summer in September...I enjoyed having a walk around the city to see so many beautiful plants like these leaves all green.

Happy MM

Beauty is easy to find, just step outside! Wear socks over your shoes so that you can walk across the skating rink that used to be a patio. The grass has crystallized, and crunches loudly in the stillness. The old maple tree is wearing a tiny little world, with icy rivulets and green moss throughout the ridges and valleys. The inhabitants are sleeping now, buried beneath the frozen layers…dreaming of a time of warmth and renewal. The dangerous journey from home to the frosty winter wonderland will be worth it, though! Just don’t forget your socks….

Can't ID this one, but I'm pretty sure it's a wasp. More action on the mistflowers...

I liked how the ground moss served to show the scale of these really tiny mushrooms. I don't often use my 100mm anymore, as the auto-focus doesn't work, but I had to get it out to capture these up close and personal... :)

A quiet beauty, almost unnoticed.

With watering can.

these tiny little plants just fascinate me. the way the light

illuminated them was magical.

Today we'll shrink our scale from the very large to the tiny, and you get to learn something about plants here for a change. On Sunday while out on a short trip to Georgia with My dad, I was photographing the detail of the involucre of this flower when I noticed a spot on it. The detail was for an iNaturalist observation of the flower, and with daisy-like flowers, this detail is often necessary to distinguish one species from another. The involucre is the structure made up of those green leaf-like phyllaries under a daisy-like flower. As for the spider, these tiny weavers are difficult to ID to species, so I can't say much about him other than that they are very small, and he's a male.

Macro Mondays theme - Yellow

Placed a yellow post it on my light box, then laid a white wine bottle down on its side, to achieve these yellow bubbles.

Hmm :)~

I don't take much with me on a regular basis but one thing that is always with me is this tiny led torch on my keyring. It's small but still a bright light when needed (I even used it to light Tasku for a photo on one occasion), and it's rechargeable.

The image measures a little under 2" in width.

Study of tiny flower found on way to office.

Noticed this tiny wildflower on a brief walk. Less than a millimeter in diameter.

There is a small farm on the start of our usual route into the Forest. They graze their Shetlands and miniature horses on a nearby common, but when their mares go into foal they take them in. There were two Shetlands in their nearby field both with new foals but this was the smallest. It was difficult to take a picture, as the mare was on the other side of the field but I wanted to share to show you just how tiny it was. Smaller than a labrador

I'm not sure if this exceptionally tiny spider is a spiderling - possibly an orb weaver? Or an adult orb weaver, or a separate species altogether. It ballooned in whilst I was observing a crab spider.

I'll place it in my Araneidae album for now - any ID advice very welcome.

I estimate no bigger than 3 mm in length.
