Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Macro'

Blue Sky Art ShowJun 27, 202632817,242

A carpenter bee hovering before a red and yellow blanket flower set a vivid, pollinator-focused tone. Others treated macro as light and color, shown by an Epiphyllum orchid cactus bloom backlit until its throat glowed golden; and as pure texture, seen in condensation on a water glass.

Pale blue Forget-me-not flowers with a red and black Seven-spot ladybird underneath.

Black and white macro image of a decaying fennel blossom that is hanging upside down since its stalk bent over. Dew drops hang from all the old blossom stems, now just skeletons. There are delicate cob webs that also have tiny dew drops hanging from the web. The background is blurry.

A close-up, side-profile photograph of a metallic green sweat bee perched on a cluster of small, pale white flower buds. The bee’s body exhibits a brilliant, iridescent exoskeleton that shifts from vibrant emerald to golden-yellow hues under the light, covered in fine, pale hairs. Its large, dark compound eye and slender black antennae are visible as it tilts its head toward a bud, while its segmented abdomen curves downward in a sharp arc. The background is a soft, out-of-focus dark green, making the jewel-toned insect and the delicate texture of the flowers stand out prominently.

A Scopula imitaria, small blood-vein moth, in my conservatory. The tiny moth, of the family Geometridae, is between 12 and 26mm. The wings are reddish to light brown. It has dark lines running across the wings and marginal lines that are clear but fine. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

I know every so often I post a macro photograph of a leaf from my Strelitzia plant but it fits today's theme so well. Tried to take it with my tiny pink plastic dinosaur (cracker tat) behind for amusing shadow interest but couldn't get the sharpness. The dinosaur is propped up against the base of the plant and reminds me to be more 'roaaaarrr' each day. You'll have to make do with the simple gorgeousness of the leaf alone. Image taken using a macro setting of a section of a green Strelitzia leaf illuminated by sunlight. There is a notable curve on the brick-like capillary structure, sweeping from bottom left towards top right. It is an intense mixture of greens from lime to a deep grass green.

A photo of a dandelion seed head, a silhouette with the sun shining directly behind it. A few of the seeds have been blown away at the top, with the rest a shimmering glow. The stem is at a diagonal angle with a tiny damselfly perched on it. The damselfly has a long, slender body and beautiful teardrop shaped wings that are opaque with a network of thins veins and they are held vertically next to it's body. Behind is a glorious blue sky with fluffy white clouds

The vibrant purple eye of a Satin Bowerbird is shown in a beige rimmed face with a black beak and a patterned chest. The bird is in amongst dark foliage and dark blue/black berries. The bird has remnants of what it has been eating on its black beak.

A Virginia ctenucha moth is a day flier and apparently common in the Northeast. It was about 1.5" long with dark black/brown wings, a metallic blue body and bright orange head. The edges of the wings are lined with white. It was walking away from the paparazzi.
