Good day ,
Last night after sunset i decided to give the garden some water especially those plants that i have planted and seeded this year.
However some of that water landed on flowers and a complaining neigbour.
So i went inside to grab the camera and make some water drop pictures .
I started with this llittle pink rose originally solld as a white rose but i guess i have to much acid in my soil so they turn pink overtime.
Our green neigbour didn't look so happy with his free shower, he was sittitng on another small rose flower.
the blackbackground is because the photo was taken after sunset so i had to use my flashlight .
i was very happywith the light results using the flash on 1/4 and the camera on iso 400 f8 1/160 shutter speed
getting things in focus was a bit tricky and the wind wasn't really hellping either.
but overal not bad for after sunset macro shooting.
This morning i wen t back into the garden when i spotted movement in my white Paeonie flower, can you spot it ?
Crab spider
Can you see it now ?
Maybe if i turn the picture
it was waiting for food delivery , any flying polinator will do just fine.
Every day i manage to spot something else to photograpph in my garden this morning i spotted this baby grashopper / sprinkhaan .
it stayed very calm while posing fyi this one is less then 2cm long , photographed with 2.5 magnification
time to further explore the garden
This small geranium waking up
and futrher on in the garden i spotted these Trichius fasciatus / Eurasian bee beetle / penseelkever sleeping on top of my purple cornflower.
i was unable to get it to smile to the camera
even with the 2.5 magnification lens
it just kept snoring , maybe i have more luck around sunset tonight.
and i also spotted this unidentified fly
and another one
and his cousin was sitting on the pink geranium flower
o well we started with a pink rose we might aswell finish with one , hope you liked the garden tour of today.
Hope to see you soon on one of my Communities:
