Another macro of moss. In the evening light, the colors were pretty intense with a dark bokeh. A spider's web was vibrating, which looks like sending out signals from a lighthouse...

The Government Gardens was buzzing this early morning with bees and butterflies all around the herbs, flowers and native tee trees. The sky was bright blue and clear, with 25'c, totally calm and sunny. This bee was so pre-occupied with collecting nectar off the Black eyed Susan flowers, I just followed it with my 200mm lens and caught it as it landed.

Emotions is a series of images, that explores how I visualise, the relationship of human emotions that I feel strongly about. Inspired by the emotional theories of Plutchik, Aristotle and Darwin, each image has a paired negative to positive emotion.
Emotion as a term is difficult to define – despite everyone knowing what an emotion is, if asked most observers will struggle to provide a definition. Imagery however serves up emotions as an observable human condition and a perceptible entity, a message, an epitaph to the viewer. Emotions are a powerful aid that allows us to change the way we think. The two sides of emotions are not simply negative and positive, they can have conflicting consequences. Positive emotions can lead to a contrasting negative consequence, whilst negative emotions can lead to positive consequences.
My images are an investigation into the representation of emotions as depictions, ideas realised through miniature figures. These document and question how we perceive our emotions and the tensions that circumscribe the realisation of our daily lives, the physical and mental strings that pull us, like puppets, driving us as individuals, and shaping our personal existence.
The use of miniature 00 and TT gauge figures references to both Masahiro Mori’s 1970 theory Uncanny Valley and Sigmund Freud’s seminal 1919 essay The Uncanny which hypothesizes that the “uncanny effect is produced by effacing the distinction between imagination and reality.”[2]

You can find something extra-ordinary.
I get fascinated by the cell arrangement on the fresh blades of grass... you?
Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra spectabilis)
We have always referred to this plant as Bleeding Heart, as for other common name, take your pick of Venus's Car, Lady's Locket, Lyre Flower, Tearing Hearts, Our Lady in a Boat, Chinese Pants etc.....
Form a group of 2 or 3 people.
Sketch out ideas for your Tiny World diorama.
Bring materials needed to create your diorama.
Be sure to have at least one opening for light and one opening for "fog."
Each group member will take and upload their own 10 photos to Flickr.
Examples of past Tiny World projects:
These are "store bought", but will soon being enjoying the tulips outside as they are just emerging out of the ground.
Turkish for turban, the tulip has a long and eccentric history. Tulips are spring's ultimate ornamental flower.
Remember: Tulips Are Better Than One.
Tiny, tinier, tiniest. Below the shooting star flowers, there was moss. You know how small those moss tendrils are? The mushroom was down among the little green tufts.
I'm going to pay tomorrow for all that crouching on the ground. :-)
Mùa hè tuy ăn lẩu nóng nhưng lại rất nhanh gọn, ăn gì nhúng nấy. Kèm nước chấm và ít chanh tươi, chu choa :3 mô tả xong thèm, nước miếng đầy mồm vì chưa đi ăn trưa...
To me one of the best part about taking pictures, especially macro photography, is that I learn about how much I really don't know.
Daddy long legs are arthropods (which means "joint foot"), but they are not spiders. Even though superficially they look like spiders, and move like spiders, they aren't. Sometimes they are called granddaddy long-legs, harvest spiders, or harvestmen.
Daddy long-legs are found on every continent except Antarctica, and it's thought that there are nearly 6,500 species.
They are omnivores and eat insects, spiders, pests such as aphids, dead insects, fungus, bird droppings, worms, and snails. Mostly they are nocturnal, and love dark places.
Daddy long-legs only live for about a year, and their life cycle is fairly quick. As they grow they molt, like other arthropods, and go through about eight growth stages until they reach adulthood.
Thankyou "The Infinite Spider" aka Karen McDonald ( infinitespider.com/daddy-long-legs-411/ ) for your information - now I know.

A single mushroom glowing under the soft forest light, with a dew-tipped fern leaning in for company. Captured on my Nikon Z6II with the Nikkor Z 105mm f/2.8 Macro.
Manually racked focus—10-20 frames stacked in Helicon Focus 8.3.0, saved as DNG, and finished in Lightroom 14. The air was heavy with moisture, and the forest floor smelled like rain.
A day in the life of a guy with a camera, wandering in the garden.
A walk in the garden in the evening light. This little Rose caught my eye.

A tiny jumping spider peers over a ripe orange berry, its delicate eyes catching the light amid a sea of autumnal reds and burnt oranges. The shallow depth of field melts the background into a soft, glowing bokeh, drawing attention to the intricate textures of the fruit and the spider’s fine hairs. The image feels intimate and cinematic, celebrating the hidden beauty of the natural world in late-season light.
