Superb light and a lovely macro Ray... it looks as though the spider webs are holding up the weed....petersmile
Ray: Yes...the spiders have been busy, Peter.
That's an interesting- the pink is a very pretty color!
Ray: It is pretty, Elizabeth, but the whole thing looks a brownish green until you get in close.

As always when these little things are seen up close & personal they are works of art Ray
Ray: I agree with your assertion, Chris.
Superb Ray. I love the tones!
Ray: Until you get close, Richard, there is little indication it is anything but a brownish green.
All tied up with spider webs. Very interesting plant.
Ray: I liked the spiders' work here, Mary.
It is amazing the beauty of so many little plants that we hardly notice
Ray: I am getting quite a collection of images of these gorgeous little gems, Bill.

Oh, what an excitement! A beauty of weed ignored by the most people but displayed by Sir Ray in all its glory!
Ray: [grin]

I am very moved by the beauty of those plants that are normally pigeon-holed as "weeds", Philine.

I think it is amazing how the colours change when you see them like this, it is a colourful world for insects smile
Ray: It would be easy to envy insects for the world they see, Linda, especially those insects with complex eyes...I have a mini-series on insects' eyes next week.
Someone said that a weed is just a plant in the wrong place - but among the grass in the yard seems pretty ok to me!
Ray: They look pretty good in a vegetable patch, too, Tom, or a flower bed.
I don't think god could have invented the intricacies of even this ''so called'' ordinary flowering weed.
Ray: The complexity revealed by even macro photography is astonishing, Richard...and then microscopy gives yet another order of magnitude to it.
