Great set of excellent macros! The second and last PiPs are my most favourite:)

Have a great day, Ron!
Thanks for all your kind visits and support:)

A super reportage ...

Excellente série

Superbe!!

In the PIPs there is a fungus, or am I wrong ?
A white one seems a Polyporus squamosus, is it ?
Great pictures Ron.

You are correct that it is a fungus and it looks like you are correct on the identification as well, Jose.

... a wonderful macro, enhanced by Bokeh ... the horizontal unfurling blossom is a powerful element ...

----->> those PiPs are so well done, they could be stand-alone postings ...

magnifique ***************j'adore

Superb!!!

Superbes fleurs !

Oh woooooot!!!! Every picture is so pretty and so different! I do ADORE flowers that have that shape of bud on the Phlox. The corkscrew appearance just steals my heart. Beautifully photographed too. Is the inset of some grass flowers? GOTTA LOVE how delicate and beautiful grass blossoms can be, so fragile looking. The mushroom is just wonderful, of course! And the green elephant's trunk? Not going to say a THING, it's so amazing!! Ok, I will...I LOVE it so close up to see the fabu details. I'm telling you, from our first day at Jedediah to our last hike at Whaleshead, I saw SOOOO MANY INCREDIBLE FERNS!! Couldn't believe them all...EVERYWHERE! I know that Steve was happy that I usually took my Sony or we'd have never gotten anywhere on our hikes at all! HEH. As it was, I'm getting better at macros with that Sony, which is quite nice in a pinch. Zero comparison to my beloved 100mm but it does a nice enough job that I can post the pictures and hey, I can GET them, so no complaints here! I really do love that new Sony...it's just so nice to take scenics on our hikes and being able to zoom in on birdies/animals was why I HAD to have it...no, it's not a PERFECT camera but it's done a great job scratching my itchies. Macros are a separate show and I'm fine with this. Took me quite a while to make the decision here, we'll have to see if I continue to be overwhelmingly satisfied or not but right now it's been the perfect choice! :)

Thanks so much for all of your super comments and being so understanding about me not being able to chat as much as when I'm home. I mean...heh...I'm MODELING YOU so yeah, I guess you would understand...heh... The fact of the matter is that making the effort to change my style from "MUST DO THE ENTIRE HIKE NO MATTER IF IT KILLS US" to "We'll go as far as we feel like going and we'll have fun the whole way." It's awesome. We're so much happier and relaxed. We get a hike in and we get pictures too. We may miss a special viewing spot down the trail but by saying, "WHATEVER, there will be other sights and who knows, maybe we'll be back!" it's really great. I've always been so spastic about this sort of thing. I didn't realize how much happier I'd be if only I'd chill out! :) So it's nice...and Steve even mentions you and being thankful that you and Nancy have helped us so much. :)

It's been a crazy day...gosh, coming back from 3 days of RVing is one thing but after 14 days, there really is a lot to do! I don't mind though, it feels good to do and settles me back here. Steve's actually been outside for hours today, using the DR mower and also our beast of a powerful rolling string mower. (Insert interrupted EEEEK!! I just found a tick crawling on my arm, EWWW!!! and...it dropped onto me somewhere and I can't find it...um....pardon meeeeeeee)

Oh dear...nothing quite so disconcerting as dropping a tick as you are killing it and then not finding it. I flung all my clothes everywhere, checked every article, brushed out my hair, looked all over me, crawled around on the floor looking...that nasty little creature refuses to show itself. Brrrr....*sigh*...maybe I managed to kill it and it's dead...I hope...ugh...ticks...

Anyway, the property is looking so much better with Steve's mowing. Much more to do but it's a good start! :)

Well, it's dinner here so I'm off for now! Have a lovely rest of your day!

Excellent series!

I'm back with a TICK update! The little *bleep* crawled over to Steve's chair, up his pant leg, up his shirt and was found crawling on HIS arm! This time, however, it did NOT escape the SQUISH OF DEATH! *WHEW*, no more worrying about where it is, yay! :)

Gorgeous close-ups with partly wonderful bokeh, Ron!

A beautiful and colourful finale to this set of macros, Ron.

exquisite !
