Header Challenge 09-11-11 = Weird & Wonderful - by Dave

This weeks Header Challenge comes from Dave and his choice of theme is ""Weird and Wonderful""

My take on this is = 

Weird and Wonderful - The World of Macs Macros from Nature.

My Header is Sparkling Raindrops on a fragile Leaf.

After a rain storm I went out into the garden with my Macro Lens - small tripod and photographed these weird and wonderful sparkling raindrops on a plant leaf.

Adjusted contrast- and then pulled the dark down so there was no background but left the raindrops sparkling.

The music and film I'm showing is Nature Macro - so enjoy.

This Greenbottle Fly was photographed in my garden too, 

you can see the pollen around his legs and mouth.

Another Weird and Wonderful Macro shot.

A Bee also with Pollen around his legs.

This shot was from a friends garden.

An Iris taken at Doddington Hall  - Again with using my small tripod.

This flower is one of the most weird and wonderful flower Ive seen - - reminds me of a plant from another World (man eating plant maybe)  see his tongue sticking out.

A macro shot of a Dragon fly - taken from along Granthams Canal.

See his Weird and Wonderful  colours and body, and his wings shining .

 Now - this is weird and wonderful - taken in our garden.

Looks like an alien creature - in fact its a plant with ice on - his head - lol.

Nature at its best - Weird and Wonderful 2 butterflies mating.

Taken at Naturescape - a Wild flower Farm - not to far from us.

To me - this is one of  my hours of glory to capture this - apart from my Header of course.lol.

This took around 2 hours to photograph - every time I crept up to them, they flew off joined together, it took about 12 attempts

to capture them - this was my finest hour,lol.

Go and visit all the other members of the Headbangers

and see what their take of Weird and Wonderful is -  from Dave.

Good Luck folks.
