Barry Webb Documents a Marvelous, Macro Array of Colorful Slime Molds — Colossal

Thanks to Webb's up-close, high-resolution shots, we glimpse a phenomenally beautiful world that is otherwise virtually invisible.

The mushroom temple

#nature #naturephotography #mushroom #fungus #fungi #backlit #macro #macrophotography

A macro photograph of the gills of an orange mushroom that was growing on a fallen over birch tree. The mushroom is sunlit from the cap side, making the gills appear to be glowing from the translucency of the mushroom. The gills run roughly vertically, with the ones to the left bending right and the ones on the right bending left, making it appear a bit like a glowing arched vault. On some of the gills there are dark debris, giving a bit of texture to the photo.

Water molecules bond at a tetrahedral angle of 109.5 degrees. That angle, repeated at the molecular level, is why every snowflake has six-fold symmetry. The hexagonal lattice structure of ice propagates outward as the crystal grows, with each arm following a closely similar thermodynamic path (small differences due to temperature and pressure over small distances).

These landed on my car window in Fairbanks.

Two snowflakes resting on a car window, photographed in extreme close-up against a smooth gray glass surface. The main snowflake at center-left displays a classic six-armed dendrite structure with intricate branching patterns, smaller side branches, and flat hexagonal plate sections at the arm tips. The crystal is translucent and nearly colorless with a faint pink tint. The six arms show subtle asymmetry. Each follows the same general pattern but with small differences in branching detail. A second partial snowflake is visible at the far right edge of the frame, showing only two arms. Small condensation droplets are scattered across the glass surface in the background. Fairbanks, Alaska.

A Giant Dark Horsefly - Tabanus sudeticus, the largest fly in Europe
This was sat on a car in the rain, fortunately this one is a male, only the females bite and only when they need the extra protein to create eggs, the rest of the year like the male pictured the female feeds mainly on nectar.
