I’m sure everyone makes little flower arrangements in bottle caps. I’m not weird. Yes, yes I am. #capoflife series #FlowerReport (USDA zone 8) 🌱💐🌿 iPhone 12 mini, macro clip lens
A macro photo of an opaque water bottle cap filled with tiny flowers. Our view is an angled view down, capturing about 1/4 of the cap. The largest flower is a violet, followed by fancy baby’s breath. The small yellow flowers are dill and the tiny, 4 petal flowers are sweet alyssum

Itty-bitty stonecrop buds in a water bottle cap. The imprinted “6” is visible from the cap and is almost the same size as the buds. iPhone 12 mini with clip #macro 🌱💐🌿 #FlowerReport (USDA zone 8) #capoflife series #noedits #pic of the day

Very close, top view of an opaque water bottle cap holding water and two tadpoles. The babies are oriented with their bodies to the bottom of the frame with tails angled up to the left. Their dark little bodies with huge eyes have a transparent film around them. There are bitty , light colored spots all over the bodies which have not yet formed appendages

An opaque water bottle cap fills the frame as we look down. The background is black with parts of a spiked flower scattered. The cap is filled with pure white, 1-2 mm buds, reminiscent of unopened tulips. Each tiny bud has a bitty green stem cup. Photo has a romantic feel due to the soft shading of white

One of these days I’ll buy a camera. It’s just intimidating..and not cheap. In the mean time, enjoy my clip-on phone lens macros 😂🤷‍♀️

Macro, our view is slightly angled down on most of an opaque water bottle cap. It holds several pinhead-sized bright yellow flowers that are cuddled at their bases in green. The flowers are in various stages of blooming. The bottle cap imprint is visible under them.

Very close, top view of an opaque water bottle cap sitting on light brown, grainy and dirty wood. Inside the cap are placed 3 jasmine flowers. The top is a fresh bloom, pure white, the one slightly below is a mottled lilac, fuchsia and cream. The final blossom is a very dark burnt fuchsia which is also mottled, but muted in color.

Tadpoles, courtesy of my little pond inhabitants. I have four species of frogs and at least one toad species every year. I always collect some to watch grow.
#herps #capoftheday #capoflife series #pondlife
Very close, top view of an opaque water bottle cap placed on sparkly, light brown sand. Inside the cap is water and six tadpoles in various positions. They appear almost black, but eyes are visible on a few. There is only a tail at this stage. There is floating, green detritus in the cap as well. The green stuff is tadpole poop. Now you’ve seen something you can brag to your friends about. “Tadpoles have flaky green poo!” then you’ll wave your arms excitedly…like Kermit.

A close, top view of an opaque water bottle cap sitting on a brown rock. Inside are 5 very light green and white column shapes that resemble folded cafe umbrellas. At the base of these "umbrellas" are bunches of the tiniest, yellowish-green, circular flowers you can think of. The umbrellas are Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), and the tiny flowers are Dill (Anethum graveolens)

Hi! I’m a land snail this lady caught having some calcium from a fallen relative. She brought me and the dead guy over here and put us in a water bottle cap and took pics. Humans are crazy. 🐌 #capoflife series #capoftheday

A close view from above an opaque water bottle cap filled with bright blue sand. In the sand sits a small land snail (Oxychilus draparnaudi), a rock and a desiccated shell.

I like the dichotomy of complexity and simplicity in this pic! Nasturtium seed germinating and placed in a water bottle cap upon a bed of Irish moss. #capoflife series
iPhone 12 mini #FlowerReport
#capoftheday
Very close top view of an opaque plastic water bottle cap. The cap sits on a dense mat of very green Irish moss that almost looks fake in its uniformity. Inside the cap is wet sphagnum moss used to germinate the seed, which has been placed on its side, on the cap. The seed body is in the center with roots and first stem spread from the top of photo down to the bottom.

A very close, top view of an opaque water bottle cap sitting on a bed of cream-colored, ridged leaves. The cap takes most of the frame and contains small bunches of four-petal flowers with bright yellow centers. The leaves in the bunches are long, smooth and tapered. Setting is contentment. Is that a setting? Feedback always welcome for alt text! Side, very close view of an opaque water bottle cap sitting on a bed of cream colored leaves from a spindle bush. Inside the cap and emerging from it are the white, four-petal flowers.

Please enjoy this water bottle cap holding a Gaillardia pulchella bud while floating among my nosy guppies. 💐🌿🌱🐠

A top view of an opaque water bottle cap with blue sand floats on top of water. There is a yellow, red and orange bud in the bottle cap. It resembles a miniature sunflower. Noticeable just beneath the water surface are green plants and an iridescent blue guppy. Beneath is another guppy, this one orange. The setting is tranquil

Bottle cap of the day pic features toothed moss (Plagiomnium cuspidatum) and Todd, the land snail. Todd was the perfect model. Might be because he’s nocturnal. Whatever. 🌿🌱🐌 #invertfest #capoflife series iPhone 12 mini
Very close, top view of an opaque water bottle cap resting on sparkly, dark brown sand. The cap is filled and partially overflowing with moss which is a dark to bright green and grows in a line upwards. Leaves are alternating. Nestled in the middle of it all is a sleeping brown and tan land snail. The tone of the photo is bright and serene.

Please enjoy this bottle cap of “split-gill mushroom“ (Schizophyllaceae commune). First time seeing this gorgeous stuff on a stump I placed to let nature have fun. #capoflife series #macro clip-on lens for iPhone 12 mini #fungi
A very close, top view of a green water bottle cap sitting on hot-pink sand. The cap also contains the sand and atop are placed three bits of white, brown, and green fungus that resemble sea anemones. The setting is bright

This was a fast pic! Two guppy fry in a water bottle cap. I think fry look like Gonzo noses. No fry injured ♥️. iPhone 12 mini #capoflife series
Very close, above view of an opaque water bottle cap. The cap sits upon a grey, stone surface. Although the water is barely visible, you know it is there because 2, very thin-skin fish hover side-by-side. Their lengths are about half the diameter of the cap. The fish are a murky yellow color and their shapes from above are very long triangles that have 2 black balls. I could have worded that better.

I’m surprised I’m continuing with this project of tiny, live things in a water bottle cap. It hasn’t gotten boring at all! It’s a creative and thoughtful challenge I’ve given myself. 🌱💐 #FlowerReport #capoflife
Above view of an opaque water bottle cap placed upon large, wet rocks that are grays and browns. The cap hold two, very orange, 4-petal flowers, the top spilling outside. Behind them are three long, ovoid, green leaves, whose lengths are similar and a third longer than the caps diameter . Nestled below, but still within the cap are green buds with orange tips.

Tiny hillside in a water bottle cap. Trees are made from loblolly pine and the greenery is blue field madder. #capoflife series 🌱 iPhone 12 mini
Above view of an opaque water bottle cap. Inside, there are three trees fashioned from loblolly pine tree seed casings. These casings also provide a landscape where greenery is placed to look almost like irises with the tiniest and lightest purple flowers within. Scene is folk-style in execution

Please enjoy these clovers (Trifolium dubium) arranged in a water bottle cap 🌱 #FlowerReport #capoflife iPhone 12 mini
A very close, downward view of a green water bottle cap filled with an arrangement of clovers (Trifolium dubium). The leaves grow in a slender heart shape. They are a deep green. Within the leaves are placed bursts of tiny, yellow rolled flowers for each bud. There are also budding leaves that resemble the shape of Venus Fly-trap (or taco, if you prefer)
