A tiny world tucked between wood and stone. Succulents in pastel and vibrant tones create their own miniature garden – as if nature was sculpting in miniature. Quiet, detailed magic you can only appreciate up close.
My collection of stylized flower photos. All taken at the local community garden during the end of summer/fall of 2025. Thinking of making some of this collection into 2x2 pictures for people to buy for their walls. Which ones would you pick? #flowers#flowerphotography#macro#macrophotography#macrophoto
Extreme closeup photograph of a brown-belted bumblebee standing on top of the red and orange florets of a purple coneflower with vague greens in the background. The bee, which takes up roughly half of the upper frame, is facing right in profile and has its proboscis inserted into the florets directly ahead of it. This species of bumblebee has a black abdomen covered in fine black hairs, a "belt" of fine brown hairs where the abdomen meets the thorax, a thorax covered in fine yellow hairs, a black head covered in black and yellow hairs, two large compound eyes and three, small simple eyes, two short antennae, large mandibles, and six legs with long hairs on the hind legs used to store gathered pollen.
Tiny wonders of nature – stingless bees at the entrance to their nest. Small in size, yet playing a huge role in pollination and keeping ecosystems in balance.
Little wonders of nature — a fragile flower and unripe berries hidden among the leaves. Beauty that’s easy to overlook, yet powerful enough to make us pause and appreciate the details.
