A Couple of Pretty Things

A macro of the curly end of a viney thing above which was hanging out twisted among the branches of one of mom's bushes. She didn't know that it was there and proceeded to rip out almost an entire bush-worth of vines! So FINALLY, eight-and-a-half months of macro photos have resulted in one practical use of them! Vine detective.

Below is just a photo I thought was artsy and cool. I've posted photos of water droplets before, here and here and here, and love how they warp and twist the light traveling through them.

Below are the petals of a clover, those tiny flowers among the grass that bees love so much.

Hairy Plant Parts

Plants seem to often be covered with a fine transparent fur. Stamens and stalks and fruits and leaves show this on close inspection. Here are a few photos to prove it!

Above is from the inside of a flower. The photo below is a very tiny early tomato, and below that, a stalk from a tomato plant, which clearly hasn't shaved in at least a week.

Dried Berries

As we're packing up the Christmas decorations, I noticed how dry the branches of berries had become. Some of them dried back to a reddish-brown. Others, like these, dried a bright red.

I like the intricate wrinkling of the berry skin that developed as the moisture receded from the berry's innards.
