Flowers and . . . eggs? I think?
« on: June 11, 2016, 22:12:35 »
Flower is 105mm f/1.8 Ai-s @ f/2

The eggs image is 200mm f/4 Ai + 5T & 6T @ f/16
Anyone know what these are?  The entire string was ~2mm long, this image is a tight crop.  Thought they were plant based until I viewed the images at 100% and saw the mucous bubbles they are attached by.

Nice flower shot with the rhythmic placements of the other buds in the out-focused area.

The "eggs" looks interesting, but I would suspect they are some sort of fungi (although they are laid a bit too organized)?

Yeah, they look like fungi to me too as the center looks woody.  Just confused by the mucous bubbles.

The flower is a California Poppy Eschscholzia californica. The egg-like things have the size and arrangement of butterfly egg clusters, but otherwise indeed look a little on the fungoid side.
