Sakura Pigma Microns and colored pencils on Strathmore toned paper, 9x12".
I had only a Crayola white pencil at hand and it's clearly not white enough for this bird's plumage. My favorite warbler :)

Yesterday morning I noticed this smallish web in the garden. I set up the camera above the web, and placed the flash below. The resulting colors were a surprise - it looked like diffraction of some kind was going on. On the web (haha) I found that "The thin linear threads of spider webs occasionally act as optical slits, decomposing white light by diffraction. The resulting colors aren't as pure as those of refraction phenomena, as in a rainbow or in an ice halo....The diameter of the minute water droplets composing mid-level clouds is similar to the diameter of spider web threads -- a few microns or even less." epod.usra.edu/blog/2005/01/spider-web-diffraction.html

2021. Arteza colored pencils and Sakura Pigma Micron pens on Comet Art sketchbook. about 10x17.
Based on a photo by Craig Goettsch, with his kind permission:
This drawing consists of three layers: 0.5 mm graphite, pigma microns, and colored pencils. The second layer was completely useless, detrimental to the result and was quite a loss of my time.
Acetaminophen is the main ingredient in tylenol,and here it was in powder form,and melted on a microscope slide,and photographed @ 10x. Focus stack of 25 shots @ 5 microns step size.Colours are achieved in camera with polarized lighting, exhibiting birefringence.
Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.

Quaint Micronations
A free state within Denmark spreading across 84 acres and having its own flag and even its own currency (Løn ).
Freetown Christiania is located on a peninsula on the branch of the main sea canal which passes through Copenhagen.
One of the world’s tiniest "countries" surrounded by lakes and primeval natural beauty.
You'll find something interesting to see around every corner of the autonomous Green,Car-free little town with the Amish-like characteristics.It's Copenhagen’s colourful hippie haven,a Utopian social experiment which travels you back to the counterculture of the 1960s.
Its habitants,ranging between 800-1000,have developed their own set of society rules,which are completely independent of the Danish government and the town operates under the Christiania law.They are free-thinkers,hardworking and friendly people,who build their charming houses and shops using materials within reach.They come out in plenty of shapes,sizes and colours and have facades decorated with peace signs and the yin-yang symbol.
Street murals at every corner - even the dumpsters have something to say - art galleries, music venues,cheap and organic eateries (most of the food you'll find in Christiania is organic and of high quality),and lots of bicycles everywhere to commute in and around the town.
Christiania, "The Symbol of Danish Liberal Lifestyle"

Roughly 6 x 9 inches. Mainly micron pen (01). The pink is acrylic ink. Some red colored pencil and red marker.
A photomicrograph of naturally occurring crystals derived from the urine of a Dwarf Mongoose. This is not an AI generated image. Microscopic colorless crystals become colorized through the use of a special polarizing technique called Nomarski Illumination. This image is about 250 microns wide. The crystals are composed of various salts excreted through the kidneys: uric acid, calcium, sodium, potassium, and chloride plus other organic waste. In my Tiny Worlds collection"

Pencil & Micron 01 & 03 ink pens.This morning, my husband read an old article on climate change and forwarded it to me: www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2008/mar/01/scienceofclim...
I read it and was inspired to check it out some more. I drew the above while while watching the video below, just now. It's another interesting perspective.
Lotus leaf and water droplet: ultrahydrophobicity
Lotus leafes show up ultrahydrophobicity, that means that a water droplet has a contact angle > 160 degrees, and there is no wetting of the surface.
Lotus leaves have a micro-nano structure. The micro structure shows up as tiny balls with an diameter around 10 microns and an average distance of 20 microns. This structure is made visible with a rather low magnification objective (7.5x) here, but with the help of a very small water droplet (diameter 0.2 mm), which is used as an additional lens, the micro-structure becomes visible.
On top of this micro-structure is an even smaller nano structure of small wax particles, which can not be seen here.
This 100x image gives some more insight

Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is a supernova remnant located about 11,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. It spans approximately 10 light-years. This new image uses data from Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to reveal Cas A in a new light.
On the remnant’s exterior, particularly at the top and left, lie curtains of material appearing orange and red due to emission from warm dust. This marks where ejected material from the exploded star is ramming into surrounding circumstellar material.
Interior to this outer shell lie mottled filaments of bright pink studded with clumps and knots. This represents material from the star itself, and likely shines due to a mix of various heavy elements and dust emission. The stellar material can also be seen as fainter wisps near the cavity’s interior.
A loop represented in green extends across the right side of the central cavity. Its shape and complexity are unexpected and challenging for scientists to understand.
This image combines various filters with the colour red assigned to 25.5 microns (F2550W), orange-red to 21 microns (F2100W), orange to 18 microns (F1800W), yellow to 12.8 microns (F1280W), green to 11.3 microns (F1130W), cyan to 10 microns (F1000W), light blue to 7.7 microns (F770W), and blue to 5.6 microns (F560W). The data comes from the general observer program 1947.
[Image description: A roughly square image is rotated clockwise about 45 degrees. Within the image is a circular-shaped nebula with complex structure. On the circle’s exterior lie curtains of material glowing orange. Interior to this outer shell lies a ring of mottled filaments of bright pink studded with clumps and knots. At center right, a greenish loop extends from the right side of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image.]
