Fauna and Flora: Photos!

Some photos of the leafs of the Cucurbitaceae. I use a macro equipment with a lens of 4 diopter. Hope you like the results.

 

A golden star, and black, white and green in a soft medley with each other. Very smooth.

It's again the Cucurbitaceae.

Once more the Cucurbitaceae, and my 4 diopter macro lens.

Hi,

I like planting, and I like professional photography. For these photos I have used a 4-diopter macro lens. Hope you like the results...

Some more macro photos of the Cucurbitaceae...

This is the Rucola I am growing. My house has two platforms (or terraces) on the roof, this is the larger platform I am using for growing these plants.

A highly fragrant Datura metel with its huge blossoms, which grows here all around.


- Big aloe plant (I think) in front of one of Jimmy Cliff's estates.
- Crab on the small mini island Lime Cay.
- A lizard on the 100 meter island Lime Cay.
- Another lizard I saw some days ago on my roof terrace. He rested on a broad palm leaf.
- Interesting bug.


Some photos of the Tradescantia pallida...

:thumb: Wow Sven some very unusual plants you have there as well as some real beauties..!! :thumb:

 

Fantastic photos, Hirnsausen :gnthb:

We have some of those Daturas in our Florida garden, a pity that the blooms only last a day.

I just love the little crab, the colourful fish (it would make a lovely picture for in the kitchen), and the first Rain Forest pic has a wonderful dreamlike quality about it. I enjoyed all of the pics but these are my favourites. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, I had a good laugh about your name. :lollol:

 

Marley, thanks a lot!

Kedi-Gato, your Daturas bloom for only one day? Wow! Those Daturas here have their blooms lasting for three days or longer! I never knew that some Datura last that short. Interesting.

I have one more thread here where I ask to identify some plants. Help is needed.
