When we were in the Grampians in was peak sundew season. I've always had an interest in these carnivorous plants - plants that eat animals, what's not to like!
I notice the way the sun was catching this plant and got low down to shoot it.
You can find more macro shots at Macro Monday2 and I Heart Macro.
Lucky it didn't shoot you from the sounds of it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a very intriguing plant Stewart. I will do a search and find out more. Love this photo, the lighting is perfect!
ReplyDeletePretty shot! I have to look up this plant, it is new to me. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteHi Stewart,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro shots, this plant I can not.
Best regards, Irma
een prachtige vondst.Steward.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful shot! Love that light!
ReplyDeleteWil ik net mijn fout goed maken is hij al weg maar je begrijpt het al ik heb je naam vejkeerd gespeld sorry Stewart,
ReplyDeletea pretty hunter it is.
ReplyDeleteLooks different from the sundew I am familiar with but then again, it's Australia.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture and the light is wonderful indeed!! Thanks, as always, for sharing the beauty, Stewart!! Have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot, Stewart!
ReplyDeleteYou should link this to NF Inspiring Photography ... Monday's she has "Catching the light" and that is just what you did. As for the plant, which I am unfamilier with, eating animals I don't like ... now if you would find me a man eating plant, I have some politicians that I would like to offer up. I will have to look this plant up and get the scoop ... very interesting post, Stewart.

Gorgeous lighting and interesting post.
ReplyDeleteAhh well turnabout is fair play, so they say. Fine shot.
ReplyDeleteThe question is....did you get up again with all limbs intact?
ReplyDeleteIt looks so innocuous! :-) Pretty shot.
ReplyDeleteAs they are so tiny they are only able to devour flies? You and your family were not in danger at any time?
ReplyDeleteThe light is great on the plant.
Wonderful sense of delicacy in this plant. Yet it seems to have an insidious personality. What a contrast.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful but predatory :) awesome
ReplyDeletePretty shot
ReplyDeleteI would have added more saturation with a tad more yellow and clarity...I'm not subtle. But this is nice.
A lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sundew, the backlighting makes it glow. I tried to grow one but didn't succeed in keeping it alive. I guess they need a swamp.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Stewart. Here sundew grows horizontally in the bog, well at least the sundew I have seen. Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
ReplyDeleteNicely capture. I like the lighting.
ReplyDeleteGood think it didn't take a bite out of you! Nice photo!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting plant. By the way, I just noticed yesterday that my neighbour has a clock with the number 4 written as IIII. I wonder why I've never noticed it before.
