We're All Ears March Challenge Features intriguing Macro Photos of Dragonflies


macro photo by Martin Amm 
These macro photos by Martin Amm who is a German nature photographer are the inspiration photos for this month's We're All Ears Challenge. 
Close up of dragonfly

These are  extreme close ups of a dragonfly or damselfly covered in morning dew.  I am really intrigued by the drops of dew that can be seen in this close photography.
 I also found all of the colors in this photograph amazing.  I suspect that to the naked eye, such diverse colors wouldn't be visible.


Daisy Earrings by BayMoonDesign are available for purchase HERE

These unique handmade floral earrings with lampwork beads in yellow with a touch of what looks like little flecks of gold are inspired by the yellow and browns in the photograph.  These beads were made by an SRA artist.  The little flecks of gold are tiny like grains of sand.  These flecks remind me of the little drops of dew in the photographs.  I combined them with Czech glass daisy beads because these beads had the same yellows and browns.  I added gold ear wire to compliment the gold flecks in the lampwork. 

 Did you find these macro photos as intriguing as I did?

    A lovely summery design. These could be a perfect every-day pair of earrings as the neutral gold could complement so many other colors.

    Those lampwork beads you used are a great interpretation of the dew drops. I love that they have golden drops on them. The earrings are an excellent combination
