A blue cornflower (Centaurea cyanus, also known as “Bachelor’s Button”) is vibrant and starkly in focus, centered against a gentle background of greenish-blue grasses. Its delicate petals are nearly translucent and look almost as if they are glowing they are so vibrant.

Close up of the soft green leaves of a Silver Shield (Plectranthus) in very bright sunlight. The bright light casts dramatic shadows and highlights the silver sheen of the tiny hair-like fuzz covering the leaves. The detail of the veins and geometric shapes is highlighted, like they would feel like a soft blanket.

A very small clear christmas ornament is centered in focus. The round ornament has been filled with delicate dried wheat, and has a crown like silver cap. The background is quite out of focus, though other similar ornaments are just distinguishable behind the focal ornament. Everything is a gentle barely there color, and the glass of the ornaments carefully reflects light in little pools back at the viewer. The effect is calm, and cheerful, like the sound of soft bells.

Iridescent blue butterfly is partially seen in the lower left corner of the photo, captured in mid-flight. The bright sunlight illuminates the dimensional colors and the detail of the small fuzzy scales that make up its wings. Its eyes are reflecting the sunlight green-gold, and light spring-yellow green foliage is indistinctly in the background, leaving the focus on the butterfly.

A deeply red rose under blue-violet light. The blue light shifts the color of the petals deeper and bluer, and highlights their subtle texture making the rose look velvety and soft.

Pink oyster mushrooms! 🍄📷
Close up photo at eye level with a cluster of Pink Oyster mushrooms. They are a pale pink tone, their texture between smooth and soft. The imperfect symmetry in their finely textured gills blends one mushroom visually into its neighbors, filling the entire frame of the photo.

Photo of the very end of the leaf cluster of Sedum morganianum (Burro’s Tail). The leaves are plump and a soft green color, spiraling closely around a thin stem (unseen). They have a fine powdery wax on them the plan produces. The background is softly green and put of focus, providing a sense of meditative calm, as if time has paused with the observer to contemplate the gentle green of the rounded leaves.

The splayed dried husk of an Andean Cedar tree flower pod, deep brown to black and a bit skeletal looking, is set against a bokeh blurred background with diffused round points of light. Despite the sharp focus on the pod and the lack of focus in the background trees, sky, and more slender deep brown branches can be discerned.

Detail portrait-style photo of a giant silk moth (Hyalophora cecropia), the fine detail of this moth’s fuzzy reddish-brown face and front limbs can clearly be seen, along with its delicate fringed antenna and matte black half-globe shaped eyes. It appears to have a cheerful expression and looks friendly.

A highly magnified photo of very small flower buds, crinkly and dry looking but still clinging to their green color. They are lit with dispersed blue lights, showing in the very out of focust background as “bokeh”, or diffuse circles of light. The small branch us clearly still, but the thin depth of field and dramatic lighting give a sense of movement.
