  Yes this throw down is back again for another run, I recently spent a weekend laying on the ground shooting the 46 varieties of mountain flowers we came across with a couple of vintage lenses, here are a couple to get things started.

    Wow, this is amazing, Rob. I really like how the fly is tack-sharp and the bud begins to blur but it not completely part of the shallow DOF.

    I really like these as a pair, shot from opposite angles – from above and below. I’m not familiar with either flower. I think my favorite is the cow parsnip with cool sky.

    I really like this composition, Dave, with the leaves in sharp focus, flower head in fairly sharp focus, and the petals a bit out of focus.

    I really like the angle of view you chose Robert. Shooting from a low angle, showing all that sky in the background does a fantastic job of giving us a bugs eye view of their world. Nicely done.

    Nice shot Preston, I hate posts like this though because then I get obsessed and have to figure out what it is, turns out it is a invasive species of lotus originally from Eurasia and North Africa called Birdsfoot Trefoil. click the name for more.

      Robert, you beat me to it, I knew the name, but had no idea they are related to the lotus! It grows in my garden, and pretty much most places round here,

      Sorry Robert. I’m the same way about these posts, but when I researched “Yellow Pennsylvania Wildflower” all I got were snapdragons and buttercups. Thanks for the link and identification! It makes sense now that I see a lot of it since I walk old pastures and it was used for livestock forage (more resilient than alfalfa apparently).

    I am actually partial to the thistles and cactus, those plants they based medieval weaponry on. Imagine a Steel version of the plant.

      I’ll admit I never thought of it that way but I agree that something like this teasel would make one hell of a template for a medieval mace.

    I agree with Preston. They are well camouflaged. Nice catch.

    I’m a big fan of moths and butterflies. These moths are amazing, Diane – really show well in Flkr.

    I saw some skippers last summer but no such luck yet this year. I’m having a great time shooting various bugs and butterflies lately. And having as much fun looking at other Light Stalkers forays into the weeds. 🙂

    This is a fantastic capture, Diane. Wing edges are just right and the sharpness of its “fur” is incredible.

    Thanks Robert. I’m not sure whether it’s a hoverfly or not, there’s so many variations of yellow and black flying insects like this.

    All great photos Leanne, the perspective on the Christmas Cactus is great, I am going to have to check out my wife’s, I know it was blooming but that may have passed. I will have to check out he poinsettia as well.

    Nice Diane, I really need to get the camera out when these are blooming, the Christmas cactus’s are the only succulents in the house that aren’t mine and I don’t pay enough attention to them.
