Thanks Fons. Lovely/loving portrait of Martha!
Thank you John.

  Lovely portrait indeed Fons.

   Here, what is considered the second largest Dracaena draco tree in Europe. It can be found in the Princess Sofía park in La Línea de la Concepción.

  D3S, 10.5mm 2.8 dx (shaved)

Thank you
Great portrait, Fons.

Yes, Drimmelen is a great little place with a port.

A closer view of the stem of a Water-Starwort Callitriche hamulata. The peculiar "peltate scales" or hairs are a diagnostic feature for this species aggregate. The scales appear blue here due to staining with Lactophenol Cotton Blue. The unsharp blue dots are hairs on the reverse side of the stem.

GXCam U3-18 on a confocal microscope, 10x/0.25 objective, 20 frames stacked in Zerene. Scale bar is 100 µm (= 0.1mm) with 1 µm steps.

Awesome image!

Looks cool (no pun intended).  Like the Monet's mood.

Nice water lilies, although they are not the native species.

Scuttling back and forth across the airspace over Norway in pursuit of more elusive aquatic plants ...

This shows what a 'rolling shutter'can do to a turbo-prop engine :)

Nymphaea alba? this must be some hybrid in a private pond.

Thank you

Not a European species so unlikely N. alba.
