I recommend you to listen to the Jethro Tull's track while watching my post. Please.

I am having a short break from office duties, for apparently 5-6 days I left the city for my country summerhouse, where I intend to live a simple rural life without internet and Hive (well, almost.... without Hive... hehe) -- and satisfy my propensities for macro photography, as well as some weed control and contemplation of swamp irises. (Sadly, but no mushrooms yet).

Имею короткие каникулы от работы - сегодня уехал из города в мое загородное имение, где собираюсь пробыть неделю и удовлетворить свои склонности к макро фотографированию, а также борьбе с сорняками и созерцанию болотных ирисов.

Today my first and only photo victim was this wonderful furry moth. Handsome!

Моей первой и единственной на сегодня жертвой стал этот чудесный мохнатый мотылек. Красавец!

Nature approached down a minimalist path, designing this moth. Theres nothing extra here! Modest non-fancy (but fluffy) white velvet, marked with just a pair of black spots, and a small orange border around the edges - and that's it! but such a nice effect...

Природа приблизилась по минималистической дорожке, проектируя дизайн этого мотылька. Ничего лишнего! Скромный белый бархат, помеченный парой черных пятнышек, и маленькая рыжеватая кайма по краям - и это всё! а какой эффект...

Lily of the valley is a protected plant that is listed in the Red Book. However, I do not need to go into the forest and crawl on my knees to search for a rare flower - fortunately, it has multiplied in such numbers that it grows even on the paths at my own site! But it blooms only in late May - early June, the lily of the valley will not show its flowers to those who come late, only wide green leaves.

Ландыш - охраняемое растение, которое занесено в Красную книгу. Однако мне не нужно идти в лес и долго ползать на коленках, в поисках редкого цветка - к счастью, он размножился в таком количестве, что растет даже на дорожках на моем собственном участке! Но цветет только в конце мая - начале июня, поздно приходящим свои цветки ландыш уже не покажет, только широкие зеленые листья.

The thistle is an amazingly photogenic weed, what is especially remarkable is how deftly it changes its look during its short life, decisively changing appearance and letting the macro photographer to take more and more new photos - all completely different. In the near future I am going to closely observe this flower through the viewfinder of my camera.

Чертополох - удивительно фотогеничный сорняк, что особенно замечательно, это то как ловко он за свою недолгую жизнь меняет свой имидж, решительно меняя облик и позволяя макро фотографу делать все новые и новые фото - все совершенно разные и непохожие друг на друга. В ближайшее время я собираюсь пристально понаблюдать за этим цветком через видоискатель моей камеры.

!PIZZA

Это как в книге "Жизнь насекомых"... на комара Эдуарда обрушилось нечто большое белое и... всеобъемлющее :-)

вот не помню, честно, и не перечитываю, это мой самый нелюбимый из всех романов Виктора Олеговича.
жизнь мира насекомых и птичек весьма увлекательна, конечно же... если у тебя самого брюхо не гудит :)))

Highfive for taking off, was on my technology detox as well, also last 4 to 5 days and it was much needed, full of adventures.
Amazing photography!
Do you know what's name of the first flower ? Found some as well but are rare in our parts.
rawr!

1st flower (blue one) is a cornflower, but not the wild plain weed one, but a decorative garden version -- we plant them in our place, it grows very well (takes no efforts from us at all, probably it has a lot of weed vital power, haha). very suitable for macros.
!BEER

Oh I see, there are many types that grow out in nature and those that can be bought, normally the ones out of store / we got at home are much bigger than natural type, just like Lilly's. Funny thing how tiny they are

Thank you for anwser!

These macros look absolutely stunning! Love all the details I can observe through your lens!

Great macro shots. We used to have lilly of the valley in our garden. It was one of my mother's favourite flowers. They have a beautiful scent to them. I don't think they grow wild here in the UK.

oh! in Russia, we have it wild only, in the forests -- nobody grow them on intention in their gardens...

You can feel the delicacy of these images as they travel across my retina, I have been really impressed.

;) while you typing this, I m preparing today's part -- which was even better xD

TNKS for the compliment, very appreciated. 🙏

Excellent, I would love to see it.

Lovely colors, pleasant to see this collection.

(Hope you feel better.)

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

colours compliment is forever my fave sort of compilments ;))))
TNKS!
and a !BEER back...

поправился ли я - хрен там. ну, стало лучше, остеопат чтото там выправил, врач прописал полдюжины таблеток (лечат не меня а анализы), но в целом я себя ощущаю недолеченным - как тухлое яйцо, которое надо очень бережливо трогать, малейшее движение не туда - и оно треснет, со всеми вытекающими наружу, кхк, кхе..... :(

:--))

организм имеет внутренние резервы, и держит правило восстанавливаться. только надо бережливо, да. не болей.

какой ты оптимист :))))))
а ты читал про заболевания иммунной системы? всякие авто-иммунные херни. это я так, к примеру. не мой кейс к щастью )))

Да, всякое бывает.

Great to hear you have a few days off @qwerrie and you are enjoying life in the countryside. Back to basics. And have time to photograph some macros and all other interesting things around you.
Enjoy it to the fullest! 👋🏻😁
Beautiful captures. The flowers are great, good to hear they multiplied a lot.
Have a wonderful Monday ☀️

Back to basics, yeah. Simple pleasures. But they are possible, you know, only when the weather is fine. WHen its cold and you have to sit (all the family!) overcrowded in a little 2-rooms shed, feeling frozen, and listening to the non-stop rain for 3,4,5,6 days.... brrrrrrr! its awful and no-go holydays. Happily, we have +25- +30, all the days are sunny and I realy enjoy it, can do nothing.. NOTHING!!!!! - just enjoy the digital detoxication.... and take some new macros xD

cheers! and a slice of !PIZZA
thanks for the compliments, always gladly accepted 🤩

I so understand… yes it needs to be enjoyable those days. Happy to hear the weather is just perfect for it.
Digital detox… yep… sounds great.
Go on… go out… have fun and explore hehehe 🤭

Thanks so much, think it’s recharged again so let’s try…
!PIZZA
You are so welcome, always!
Happy days ☀️😁😎

мое загородное имение

Звучит красиво.
Бабочка на цветке - огонь.

Глядя на твой ландыш вспомнил, что 2 недели назад тоже их фоткал и подготовил, чтобы показать, но... забыл. :)
