Old Man's Beard

Von so etwas habe ich noch nie gehört. Grüße, Frank

Nice one

OHHHHH!!! I love it!!! What a gorgeous macro, Keith. Love the details. Love your choice of dof, and your composition too. The soft and feathery appearance of these seeds is just magnificent. I envy you as I've not yet found any clematis to photograph like this. Thank you for the inspiring photography, this is so beautiful!

Thanks so much for your comments on my furry mushroom! :) Believe me, I was totally blown away that I found the little guy! The first one that I spotted was actually disintegrating but I couldn't even tell until I looked on the computer. I happened to notice a few similar smudges nearby and was able to make out the one I photographed as a mushroom with what appeared to be fuzz on it! YES my eyesight close up is totally incredible. It is my superpower. I am horribly nearsighted but I'll never consider lasik because having the ability to see at this fine level is a total gift to me. And the fact that I'm passionate about macro photography...how lucky am I! :D Recognizing this is one reason I so love to share pictures of the itty-bitty variety. Even the passionate like you cannot see the teensy things to focus on, so I can bring you--whose photography and skills I so adore and admire--on a macro ride at an even deeper level. How cool is that? :D *high five*

Amazing details Keith.

Schitterende opname van deze clematis,Keith.
Beste wensen............

A superb capture, Keith!

Beautifully captured. It looks tough and incredibly delicate at the same time.

This is excellent! Lovely soft colours, perfect shallow DoF....

Beautiful! The feathers of the seeds look so delicate and shimmer silver like fairy hairs.

Thanks for your kind and generous comments everyone! Have a great weekend..!!

It's the best old man's beard I have ever seen ;) Interesting notes. I didn't know that!
You have presented it so beautifully with soft colours yet so detailed!

Thanks Rosa.................it grows pretty much everywhere in the countryside round here. This is the first shot I've taken that I've been really happy with. Glad you like it too.

Wenn ich morgens aufstehe, sieht mein Bart auch so aus ;-)

Ha, ha..............that's what my wife says about my beard (and it's the same colour)!

Excellent close up and an interesting plant Keith,
Have a good weekend !
