Pictures for Pam, Day 108: Droplet-Encased Sporophyte

Pictures for Pam, Day 108: Droplet-Encased Sporophyte
(+5 insets...ENJOY!) (this picture is very nice at full size!) :)

Holy cow, I'm late posting today! I usually try to put my picture up by about 5pm PST but I was carried away and totally forgot about the time.

What was I carried away about? Why, tomorrow's Macro Monday project, of course!! First of all, I had a great time taking pictures of the subjects I came up with. Then, when I looked at the images on my computer, I was really happy that I got lots of usable shots of my ideas! I took a running leap and did a swan dive into my artistic persona. For the next few hours I swam around in Photoshop, playing with each image and having a wonderful time. When Steve asked me about dinner I was shocked to see that so much time had gone by! EEK! :D

I'm feeling the magic of being in the Moment of my creativity, so today I'm sharing a rather dreamy image of a droplet-encased sporophyte with his people. This was taken on the day there was snow everywhere. It had mostly melted where this group was but I am beyond overjoyed that I took pictures even though the snow was gone. I hope you like this gorgeous sporophyte as much as I do...I am still trying to figure out how to get their autographs! :)

My insets feature some of my past sporophyte images. Aren't they just amazing? I think they are all like tiny people. Little villagers with great big personalities! :)

Pam, I wanted to find a magical image in your photo stream and I found just what I was looking for with the sunset image you posted that glows in the Golden Hour. It's drop-dead GORGEOUS!! Stunning sunset and incredible silhouettes...but that warm light...ohhhh, it's incredible!!! You added the awesome quote which states the following words that I love so much:

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset,
two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes.
No reward is offered for they are gone forever.
~ Horace Mann

This was just perfect for the way I feel right now! Sending oodles of *HUGGGGGGZZZZZZ*!!!!

These are without exception outstanding macro images.............in the main image, the way you have managed to focus on just one single Sporophyte with it's gorgeous waterdroplet, is astonishing!

However, I'm going to disagree with your choice of main image again...........annoying isn't it :-))

The third PiP, with it's sinuous golden brown Sporphytes is just fantastic.........especially against the beautiful background. I love the composition too, with great use of negative space! Definitely main image material in my humble opinion :-)

The last PiP was a contender too.............I love the razor thing depth of field and the water droplets.

Magical..!!

What a fantastic photo Janet and those insets are also gorgeous. I've never really noticed these sporophytes but now because of your amazing photos, I'm going to make sure I notice them - even to the point of seeking them out. I have so many bits of moss alll over the place, so I'll start with those!!

I'm so pleased you have rediscovered your love for photography, we are all gaining by it because of your amazing pictures.

An absolutely wonderful series of shots. Each one better than the next so that's impossible to pick a favourite. I've had a go at photographing them in the past but never with results like these.

Such a lovely shot, dear Janet! The droplets look like glass garden balls. The insets are also beautiful. In the first inset a pair of lovers stands in the snow. In the second inset some dainty people stretch their necks into the air. In the third inset some seedpods perform a dance. In the fourth inset green paper lanterns hang on rods. And in the last inset two tiny glass spheres reflect their surrounding.
