Pip1-5: Nahaufnahmen des Schneckenhauses&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I rediscovered this beautiful snail shell in nature; a snail is even peeking out from behind it. However, I only wanted the shell as the main subject and opted for a black and white look with a warm high-key effect, which I really liked :))&lt;br /&gt;
Pictures 1-5: Close-ups of the snail shell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'ai redécouvert cette magnifique coquille d'escargot dans la nature ; un escargot se cache même derrière. Cependant, je souhaitais que seule la coquille soit le sujet principal et j'ai opté pour un rendu en noir et blanc avec un effet de lumière chaude, que j'aime beaucoup :))&lt;br /&gt;

Pip1-4: Nahaufnahmen der Spitze&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I often enjoy photographing the tips of these horsetails; they always make interesting subjects. In the last picture, there's a tiny little mushroom growing right on the tip of the stalk :))&lt;br /&gt;
Pictures 1-4: Close-ups of the tip&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'aime souvent photographier l'extrémité de ces prêles ; elles constituent toujours des sujets intéressants. Sur la dernière photo, on aperçoit un minuscule champignon qui pousse tout au bout de la tige :))&lt;br /&gt;

Durch ihren Speichel gibt sie chemische Stoffe ab, die das Pflanzengewebe manipulieren. Anstatt normaler Nadeln bildet die Fichte an dieser Stelle diese verdickte, gekammerte Wucherung. Die Nadelbasen schwellen an und schließen sich zusammen. In den kleinen Kammern im Inneren dieser Galle wachsen gut geschützt die Larven der Laus heran und saugen am Pflanzensaft.Im Frühsommer ist sie noch grün-rötlich und saftig. Sobald die Larven im Spätsommer (meist ab August) ausgewachsen sind, trocknet die Galle aus, die Kammern öffnen sich wie kleine Klappen und die geflügelten Läuse fliegen aus. Zurück bleibt genau das, was du fotografiert hast: Eine leere, braune "Skelett-Galle", die oft noch monatelang am Zweig hängen bleibt,für die Fichte ist sie aber harmlos in kleinen Mengen!&lt;br /&gt;
Pip1-4: Nahaufnahmen dieser Galle am Zweig&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always observe nature on my walks, which isn't usually appropriate for a natural object, like this reddish "pineapple gall" I discovered on this branch! It's caused by a tiny spruce gall aphid. In spring, a female aphid sucks sap from the young buds of the spruce tree. Through her saliva, she releases chemical substances that manipulate the plant tissue. Instead of normal needles, the spruce develops this thickened, chambered growth at that spot. The bases of the needles swell and close together. Well-protected in the small chambers inside this gall, the aphid larvae develop and suck the plant sap. In early summer, it's still greenish-red and succulent. As soon as the larvae are fully grown in late summer (usually from August onwards), the gall dries out, the chambers open like small flaps, and the winged aphids fly out. What remains is exactly what you photographed: an empty, brown "skeletal gall" that often stays on the branch for months. However, it's harmless to the spruce tree in small quantities!&lt;br /&gt;
Pip 1-4: Close-ups of this gall on the branch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lors de mes promenades, j'observe toujours la nature, ce qui n'est pas toujours approprié pour un objet naturel, comme cette galle rougeâtre en forme d'ananas que j'ai découverte sur cette branche ! Elle est causée par un minuscule puceron gallicole de l'épicéa. Au printemps, la femelle se nourrit de la sève des jeunes bourgeons de l'épicéa. Sa salive libère des substances chimiques qui modifient les tissus de la plante. Au lieu d'aiguilles normales, l'épicéa développe à cet endroit une excroissance épaisse et cloisonnée. La base des aiguilles gonfle et se resserre. Bien protégées dans les petites loges à l'intérieur de la galle, les larves du puceron se développent et se nourrissent de la sève. Au début de l'été, la galle est encore rouge verdâtre et charnue. Dès que les larves ont atteint leur taille adulte à la fin de l'été (généralement à partir d'août), la galle sèche, les loges s'ouvrent comme de petits clapets et les pucerons ailés s'envolent. Ce qui reste, c'est exactement ce que vous avez photographié : une galle squelettique brune et vide qui persiste souvent plusieurs mois sur la branche. Cependant, en petite quantité, elle est inoffensive pour l'épicéa !&lt;br /&gt;
