This was one of the 1st #wildflowers I IDed. Was completely unknown to me & that brilliant white drew me in. After many to attempts photograph, I realized that shadows or overcast skies made it easier to catch the delicate texture in the petal.
Taken photos of it in the field but this is a plant I put in last yr (no blooms last yr). This is one of this year's blooms 👍.

A gold and purple iris in my friend's garden. I never really paid attention to iris beards before and didn't realize they has such amazing color patterns.

I'm not sure who this guy is, on first sight I thought it might be a pseudoscorpion, but on closer inspection it does not appear to have pincers - so it seems to be some kind of spider.
Picture of the day: You all seemed to enjoy the Ocellaris clownfish, so I figured I would share another anemonefish! This beauty is a Clark's Anemonefish, differentiated by the neon blue highlights.
This flowering bush is along a route to a friend's house. It's populated by a small flock of house sparrows pretty much yr round & I catch a lot of sparrow pics there. Don't know that I've seen it in bloom before but appears to be a type of spiraea.
One of those flowering shrubs that has tiny little white flowers that look lovely but are far more delicate & intricate when you take a closer look.

Made a mount for it that hangs back and aside, so it can double as handle, the camera can stand up straight on it and the access door for the USB connector of the camera isn't blocked.
It took ages to figure out a position which enabled all of the above, but then that's why you make your own kit.
Works pretty well and happy with the result. Satisfying amount of salvaged parts, too.
