Rotkehlchen / Robin

Dieses zutrauliche Rotkehlchen hatte sichtlich Spaß am Posieren. Es veränderte immer wieder die Pose und wir hatten eine sehr schöne Begegnung.

This trusting robin clearly enjoyed posing. It kept changing poses and we had a very nice encounter.

I took so many pictures of these caribou because it was such a treat to be able to see them in the wild. They were migrating through this area and sometimes came closer to check out what we were because they had never seen people before. Taken in the Southern Arctic in Nunavut, Canada.

We have since received an email that the lodge where we stayed had to close because they said there weren't enough caribou for the people to see. It seems that the numbers have decreased

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Le simulacre

Inconnu, spectre de ville,

Je traîne du pas mon âme,

Dans ce piteux vaudeville,

Je déambule sans trame.

Toutes pages de ma vie,

Volent, telles des feuilles mortes,

Dans l’infini sans obvie,

Juste l’oubli sans escorte.

Je traverse l’affluence,

Chacun fantôme de son moi,

Tous sans nulle congruence,

Juste se frôler sans émoi.

Le cœur glacé de la cité,

Sans nulle homéostasie,

Le sang en devient siccité,

La raison en aphasie.

L’hiver sans fin y est pesant,

Le ciel gris en pierre tombale,

De mon espoir agonisant,

Dans ces limbes sans cabale.

Juste par hasard au détour,

D’un pont qui ne mène nulle part,

Je me révèle à contre jour,

D’une clarté de l’oubli sans art.

Avancé, de m’en retourner,

Dans l’oubli des abandonnés,

De vivre sans chance d’avancer,

Sans liberté de mes pensées.

Petit soldat sombre ici,

Du soleil mon psyché est mû,

Muselé, mon être ici gît,

De vous je ne suis plus ému.

I positioned the camera with Helios 44M at f/8 and extension tubes next to some raspberry canes that the bees were interested in, and managed this shot of a buff-tailed drone (I could be wrong, they are very similar to some other species). I used an electronic remote cable release to minimise the disturbance of the bees.

I was hoping to capture some tree bumblebees for the Macro Monday theme of Orange (I have a busy nest in the garden). A couple of issues arose, due to the size of those bees - they so heavy that they pull the flower forward, swinging it out of focus and they are so big that they don't fit within the depth of field. Fortunately this drone of a different species was a bit easier to capture, despite not being very orange.

In post-processing, I've tried to increase the detail contrast, flipped the image (the bee was upside-down) and added a little bit of vignette.
