Touch-me-not with a dewdrop.

A glassy drop of water hangs suspended from a green seed dispersal pod.

I found the smallest mushroom yesterday, growing on a Douglas fir cone. #MacroMonday #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends #Mycology #NaturePhotography

A color photograph of a tiny mushroom (the size of a grain of rice) in a Douglas fir cone in moss.

My fingertip for scale

The tip of my finger points at a tiny mushroom the size of a grain of rice on a Douglas fir cone.

Gomphrena at Denver Botanic Gardens, 105mm Micro at f/11. The magenta isn't petals, it's bracts. The actual flowers are the tiny white and yellow structures between them, a few millimeters each. You don't see them at all walking past the plant. #Macro #Flowers

A cluster of spiky magenta flower heads fills the center of the frame against a dark green background. Each head is built from narrow pointed bracts, with tiny yellow star-shaped stamens and small white florets emerging from between them. A second cluster sits out of focus at the left edge, and the background falls away into soft dark green and purple.

In the conservatory at Denver Botanic Gardens. 105mm Micro at f/4.5, worked against the dark of the planting behind so the orchids sit on black. The palm frond in the corner is the one bright thing that isn't a flower. #Orchids #Macro

A spray of pale purple orchids fills the right and center of a square frame against a dark background. The blooms have broad rounded petals in lavender with deeper magenta toward the throat, and small speckled lips at their centers. More flowers trail off to the left and downward, some turned away and partly in shadow. A bright green fan-shaped palm frond crosses the upper left corner, its segments catching light.

Another table at Rocky Mountain Fresh, Longmont Farmers Market. Shot low and close at 40mm and f4 so the yellow runs from the bottom of the frame back into the onions. Spaghetti squash and onions together is a September table...two months earlier none of this is there. #HarvestSeason #FarmersMarket

Bright yellow spaghetti squash fill the foreground of a market table, stems still attached, stacked several deep. Behind them sits a bank of onions in white, pale gold and deep copper, with dark green acorn squash at the left edge and eggplant further back. A pink hand-printed sign reads Spaghetti Squash, two dollars a pound, grown by Rocky Mountain Fresh in Longmont. Beyond the table, rows of peppers and leafy greens blur into the background, with shoppers moving past under the tent.

Charlotte Amalie harbor, St. Thomas. Same evening as the cloud photo from a couple of weeks back, and this is what we were waiting for. Metered for the brightest part of the sky, so the hills, the boat and the shoreline all dropped to silhouette. #StThomas #Caribbean

The sun sits low behind a tall bank of cloud, its light spilling out around the cloud edge in bright gold and laying a long shimmering column down the water below. A catamaran rides at anchor in silhouette at the left, its mast and rigging drawn as thin dark lines against the glowing sky. Low hills run across the middle of the frame in shadow, with a few pale buildings visible along the shoreline beneath them. The foreground is dark rippled water.

“The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.” ~Paulo Coelho #bloomscrolling #eck #inspiration

A fully bloomed pink rose with green leaves riddled with holes surrounding it.

Happy Friday friends! I’m bleary eyed from the noisiest cricket in the history of ever hiding inside my walls all night singing the song of its people & I read this as name your cat day 😂 so I’m sharing one of the cats that joins us on our walks that we named Fanta because she looks like orange soda

Loved this toy along with the wooden ball-and-cup game. They would keep me occupied for hours! It makes me feel ancient when I tell my younger relatives about this 😂😂

A wooden toy consisting of a long thin handle with a wide carved cup at the top with a string tied near the top with a ball attached the string so that the handle can be moved around to get the ball into the cup.

“To be inspired, is to embrace a gentle quietness of the heart; a deep listening in the soul; an open mind humbly learning the wise benefits, of being still.” K.L. Lovely, small desert butterfly, on orange garden blooms. #Photography #Butterfly #Flowers #Nature #ImageAndVerse #ColorADay #OrangeSun

This is a small Snout Butterfly (so named after its rather long, snout-like facial extension.) Their wings don’t have pointed tips, rather a straight edge to them… A favorite source of nectar is the orange Trumpet Vine Flower… Background = deep blue sky filtering through green leaves… Quote in post by Kelly Lantana.
