This is fertile shoot of horsetail.
Found in the meadows by the river. In the morning I went on a bicycle trip. It was supposed to be short, but the weather was wonderful and I stayed until the evening. Unfortunately, there are already mosquitoes, a month earlier than usual.
I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
Love the detail and the gorgeous background! Very awesome capture.
ps - edited to add: is dengue showing up in your area? Mauritius has always had a few cases of Dengue in summer, but this year the disease has soared. It’s a perplexing problematic virus. My husband has it, and I can see why an alternate name for it is break-bone fever.
@cocokinetic We don't have any mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever here yet. Ours are troublesome but free from tropical diseases.
I mentioned them because they usually start appearing in May. And this year they are already here, and I was not prepared for their attack.
I'm sorry to hear your husband is sick. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your reply. Great to hear that dengue is not quite as widespread as made out to be. But still, I think it’s wise for people going to or living in risk-areas take precautions; it’s truly not an illness to be taken lightly. Husband will be ok, just takes some time. Quite shocking to see the symptoms first-hand, though.
What a fascinating capture! It looks as if it's covered with tiny chestnut mushrooms! The light's lovely and the background complements the horsetail beautifully.
