One Wednesday's Worth

A closer view of new green richness in a fiddlehead fern:




A hanger-on leaf, an Autumn insect's dinner leftovers:




If you hold two things in your left hand, and one of them has a drop of dew on it . . .




This is an invisible weed (because of its size, not that it has magical abilities):

that drop of water is unreal with that reflection ,was it rolling? or no? if it was thats extremely insane that you caught that pic? nice either way!

Ryan O Hill, Thanks

Not rolling, no. I tilted the camera. It takes some experimenting to get the refracted item in the right place, and here I held a dandelion between my ring- and little finger, and the blade of grass between my fore- and middle finger, while steadying the camera by placing my thumb against the lens. That was one busy left hand!

Yeah the photo of the water drop is good. But it is a little out of focus I think. It would be a great if the photo was clearer.

the dew drop shot was just amazing! the effort you gave to give these stunning shots really paid off!

tiny, Thanks

That's the best I can do, without taking the enjoyment out of it

lyacadajar, Thanks

Imagine standing in a field next to a highway with two blooms in your left hand, camera in your right, spinning slowly to find the different effects of Sun and background! It takes some patience and a little work - mostly a fun challenge, though!

I really like the "insects leftovers", interesting perspective that ends up looking like lace. Thanks for sharing those

teedlepeep, Thanks

That's where I have the most fun - turning over something nondescript and finding - lace! Or wrought iron, my first thought. As soon as the shape appears, I do that search for best light and often get a pleasant surprise.

I love the sparkle on the first leaf. Almost as though you dusted it with fairy dust.
