Lupine, also named 'wolf's beans', is a weed - but a useful weed. We do not struggle with it in our garden, quite on the contrary: we enjoy it! because after lupines the soil "rests" and become saturated with nitrogen. But that is not the most important.
Most importantly, this plant is very photo-friendly, and not only during flowering, which is a rare thing.
This weekend I've spent at my summerhouse, and most part of it there was rain, rain, rain. the nature have provided me with a perfect conditions to get off the couch and take macro photographs of water droplets. Which was what I exactly did - with results which I am quite pleased myself.
I took a load of macro shots of wolf's bean leaves decorated with dews. (I had to shoot those dews, cause I had nothing else left, haha!) ... have to edit them, then post. I am pretty happy with the results I've got this time 😊
Lupine leaves are hairy - which is why dewballs tend to remain balls, rolling on the surface of the leaf without being absorbed - until the sun dries them. Thanks to this feature (and also the unusual whimsical shape of the leaves), lupine is very beneficial for macro photography.
This picture is a macro focus stake (stitched from two separate captures).
Perhaps, unedited version doesnt look so fancy. 😌
Isnt it a natural gem? I decided I should give it a slight cyan-ish tint.
And now with a strong taste of my favourite x-processing. I'd be happy to hear you choose this one as your fave.
This is a very young and tiny lupine's leaf - less that 3cm.
And now, let me round up on this, and go to have some sleep xD

Wow can not believe your editing skills, You turned the photos totally and they look like paintings not reality.
Great work Sir!
easy-peasy, just time consuming... you can do the same, actually, but you will need --
a) good lighting, b) camera that can support .raw file format, c) wide-angle lens, d) shoot using .raw files that you later can process d) photoshop or lightroom, to process .raw files, e) time, loads of free time to invest into it!
NB: but things are a little easier if the photos are plus-minus all the same, in terms of lighting and exposure. -> it means you can sit and work on one photo polishing it 40 minutes, and then automatically process the rest photos using the same setting. easy-peasy! I wish you a successful growth as a photographer too!
Чудесные капельки!
благодарю! да, в сочетании с люпинами - оно неплохо выходит. а так-то погода не порадовала. и грибы не растут, несмотря на наличие и воды, и тепла.... что странно.
капелька в центре цветка на 8 фото сверху смотрится как бриллиантик :-)
Да, на счёт грибов, странно
absolutely amazing macro photography Especially when you turn it into black and white

What a great macro photo, I really like this pretty pattern of frost.

Lupines are really nice. Probably my favourite summer flowers. I like your editing style.
thank you! my fave probably are sunflowers and poppies. sadly, I dont have them around ... have my consolation with fungi 🤪
Wild poppy fields are beautiful indeed, but there are none here. Sunflowers can be found here and there. But fungi are nice, it's almost mushroom season.
