A tiny glimpse in the world of the magnified eye

  • Spider in F minor

    Spider in F minor Shot in low light, f8, this spider really did try to sit still. Intimidating eyes! Canon EF12mm II,Geotagged,HDR,The Netherlands,macro,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm,soligor 36mm

  • Ye very ol' Vespula

    Ye very ol' Vespula Coloured stangely by evening' electric light, he wonders what is happening. Shall he sting again? Will he notice he's already met his creator? Canon EF12mm II,Geotagged,HDR,The Netherlands,Vespula vulgaris,macro,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm,soligor 36mm

  • Godly tears in dual core (teardrops on Jupiter)

    Godly tears in dual core (teardrops on Jupiter) Shot on the coarsely structured leaf of a <>, the diamond-like reflections caught my attention. Allas I forgot about the flower itself. The shot is flaky due to the many reflections the focus was slighty off. Sorry for that:) (view in HD) Geotagged,The Netherlands,Vanda tricolor,canon,dew drops,marco,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm,soligor 36mm,water

  • Multicore dream stage (tears part 2)

    Multicore dream stage (tears part 2) Do view it in HD, the default is a bit too fuzzy. Feel the richness of natures finest, without which earth would not have survived as a species container!

  • Summer solitude

    Summer solitude A solitary ant, crawling in search for food. Maybe looking for Aphids ready to milk. Don't you just feel the rays of summer? Anthriscus sylvestris,Geotagged,The Netherlands,ant,macro,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm

  • Of Summer kisses

    Of Summer kisses Two ants incidently meeting on a flower on the side of a path. Is it a coincidence, or nature's date? Anthriscus sylvestris,Formica polyctena,Geotagged,The Netherlands,ant,macro,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm

  • Underwater rascal

    Underwater rascal A very lucky still of a landstaged alpine newt, floating frozen under water, its invisible hand gripping for balance. It is curious yet afraid. It will not be harmed by me, yet it is triggered for action. After birth these newts are water creatures, light blue and very contrasting in their multicoloured jackets. Then evolution kicks in, the skin darkens, the yellow aspects fade, orange takes over. Still the same newt it looks like another species in the same lifetime: the landstage.

  • A frosty crystaline

    A frosty crystaline A crystal of snow is a wonderful thing With texture as fine as a butterfly's wing; With network of atoms like filmy spun lace, Or petal arrangement of air flower face. Canon EF12mm II,Geotagged,The Netherlands,dew,frost,ice,particles,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm,soligor 36mm

  • Jack Frost

    Jack Frost Jack Frost turns the world to white, heralds the winter's come at night, heralds its cold and gripping might. Jack Frost nips at nose and ear, dries the eyes and makes them tear, but still is kids' happiest time of year.

  • Chrystalline entity

    Chrystalline entity I taste the spectrum more than I see My senses piqued peculiarly As kaleidoscopic concertos Obscure my sight in grand array Each blending shade completes the phrasing; Brilliantly, prism love songs play Canon EF12mm II,Geotagged,The Netherlands,ice,macro,particle,snow,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm,soligor 36mm

  • My first h2o shot, the essence of life

    My first h2o shot, the essence of life Where would we be, our planet be, without this link so very essential? Did you know a newborn baby can consist, on an average, of 75% of water? As we get older it seems to evaporate a bit, though a moving body of water we still are. Amazing little element, h2o. Geotagged,The Netherlands,drop,droplet,h2o,water

  • Darkness, a sudden sound

    Darkness, a sudden sound A drop of reddish liquid, seperated, falling, keeping form regardless of the coming adventure. Lemonade meets tapwater. Assimilation imminent, resistance futile. A moment frozen in time. Geotagged,The Netherlands,drop,droplet,water

  • What on earth is this?

    What on earth is this? St. John hath told me what to do: To search and find the ferns that grow The fern seed that the faeries know; Then sprinkle fern seed in my shoe, And haunt the steps of you, my dear, And haunt the steps of you. Have you ever zoomed into a fern seed? Wow, when full grown, ripe to discover the world below, they actually look like a bunch of worms, crying for freedom. Did you know?

  • Aboon the English Rose

    Aboon the English Rose In Scotland grows a warlike flower, Too rough to bloom in lady's bower; His crest. when high the soldier bears, And spurs his courser on the spears. O there it blossoms - there it blows The thistle's grown aboon the rose. (part of a poem named 'Aboon the rose' by Allan Cunningham [1784-1842]) Canon EF12mm II,Cotton Thistle,Geotagged,Onopordum acanthium,The Netherlands,macro,soligor 12mm,soligor 20mm,soligor 36mm
