Final Milky Way Shot For Now...

My last Milky Way shot wasn't enough for me. I had this idea that I wanted to be closer to the water when shooting the stars. And so I continued driving around the lake, looking for the right spot

Some people never get the chance to see the Milky Way from Earth; whether it's due to city smog and lights or just not a having a telescope, but @r00sj3 is sharing some views of the galaxy with us. Stop over to see and make sure to check out other posts with images as well.

Denver Botanic Garden MacroPhotography Post For The Petals Contest Flowers

Is this a flower or a weed? It seems to have good protection and I think the tiny spikes would deter predators who might want to attack these tightly closed buds
I really love the colors in this flower-to-be and I am glad I got in for a close up. This was one of the many interesting plants I saw on a tour of the Denver Botanic Gardens when I took a trip to Colorado the summer after high school graduation

@bxphabet isn't too sure at first what this is, but one thing is for sure... it kind of reminds me of a Venus Flytrap like plant. Imagine putting your finger too close and all of a sudden... BAMM the flower tries to bite you!

Wet Rocks

More rock stacking along a mountain stream

Sometimes the simplest looking objects can make the most complex images. Little rocks... stacked up together.

Mushrooms

Today I came back to the same place and the bug that attracted my attention was there, more precisely, they were there. At that site, some mushrooms grow, I suppose they are not for human use, but they are therefore good enough to be home to this kind of insect.
This insect is very fast and has the ability to fly, it does not stay long in the same place when it is felt threatened. After a while, I managed to make few photos of this exceptional and cute creature

@biti started taking pictures of some wild mushrooms, but was soon distracted by this insect as it crawled over leaves and plants.

Marigold flower / Calendula officinalis with raindrops creating nice light reflections for bokeh

Such a delicate looking image of the flower's petal with raindrops vivid and clear. @bokeh captured a perfect
