VERY SMALL finch, seen around human habitation everywhere, a confiding species, working in small to very large groups, primarily a ground-feeder. A real joy to see in the Gambia
=======================
THANK YOU for your visit, friendship and comments, hope you are all keeping well and safe, God bless...................Tomx

ASK JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE ! YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT.
A TINY BIRD, and a photographers nightmare as they rarely stop moving and so fast. Although wrens prefer to feed in the undergrowth, they typically emerge from cover periodically and perch in the open very briefly. Seen at Stodmarsh N.R, Kent.
========================
THANKING YOU FOR YOUR VISIT, please leave a comment, will look forward to seeing your latest posting soon as I can,
Have a couple of people I follow, who have just stopped posting, and it's so worrying, not knowing, and you start to think the worst !!! You are all in my prayers, stay well and safe.
God bless you........................................................Tomx
SMALLEST BIRD in the region, can be difficult to locate at first, so listen for their high-pitched calls, then the fun begins, because it seldom stops foraging , sometimes hanging from twigs or hovering , while looking for invertebrates, See and enjoyed at |Sandwich Bay, while looking for Crossbills without any luck.
=================================================
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, please leave a comment and I will look forward to doing the same to your latest posting.
Stay well and alert my friends, keep a smile on your face and love in your hearts for everyone............God bless you........... ...................................Tomx
This amazing Blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata) was three inches wide (9cm). That might not seem unusual since there are other flowers that are much larger, but in this case the plant was only just over one foot tall (30+ cm).
Blanketflower is a native wildflower of Colorado. Many varieties have been developed for use as garden flowers. Perhaps the most common one has red petals that are tipped with yellow. This picture was taken in the scrub on water's edge of Berkeley Lake, Colorado, at the north-west border of Denver.
TINY, black, brown and white mannikin seen widely in fields,
=====moving in small flocks of about 50-100 birds, perching in rows on low arching stems, feeding on seeds, they approach the sides of roads and humans without much fear in search of food.

THANK YOU for your visit to my Gambia images, please leave a comment, and I will return the visit.
Trust you all are praying for peace in Ukraine, hard to believe that this is happening in Europe !!!!

TINY BIRD which can be recognized by its dumpy proportions, mainly dark brown plumage and its habit of frequently cocking its tail upright, The wren is rather unobtrusive as it creeps through low vegetation in search of insects, and is extremely vocal. Seen at Stodmarsh Nature Reserve Kent. UK
========================================

Originario de México y Estados Unidos , esta bella planta se ha extendido entre todos los coleccionistas del mundo .
Sus flores son de 9cm y de un color increíble, su forma simplemente perfecta, contribuye a su espectacularidad … como veis el centro es blanco y allí se disponen numerosos estambres con carpelos amarillos y un estigma multilobulado verdoso intenso.
Las flores diurnas de una duración de cuatro o cinco días, surgen principalmente de las areolas del centro de los tallos .La floración comienza principalmente durante inicios de la primavera y termina a mediados del verano.
Sus tallos cilíndricos erectos de 10 o 12 cm de largo y 3 cm de diámetro están divididos en costillas de 4 o 5 vértices…En el ápice de los tubérculos se disponen pequeñas areolas en las cuales, se desarrollan las espinas, no querráis saber cómo tengo las manos …. Hace dos meses que estoy cambiando sustratos y mis dedos, a pesar de los guantes, están llenos de cortes y “pinchazos”… Pero a quién le importa …Estas floraciones magníficas me hacen olvidar los malos momentos y reverencio cada día esta bella naturaleza!!
GARDEN CAPTURE yesterday, at 7am in the early gloom, a pair of these beauties to my utter excitement , grabbed my camera and managed to fire five shots, only this one in focus. ISO 2500, minus 2 stops, 1/90 sec. They were constantly active in search of small invertebrates.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, love looking and commenting on your images. Enjoy the weekend stay safe.. .............................................God bless you.....................Tomx

GAVE up on FLICKR yesterday, as it was unbelievable slow, did anybody else have the same problem.?
A TINY BIRD, that does not come my way often, but this morning proved fruitful. It creeps through deep low vegetation in search of insects, has a habit of frequently cocking its tail upright, it can look rather mouse-like, and is extremely vocal during spring the mating season.
==============================================
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, your comments and faves are always appreciated and find very encouraging.
Keep well and safe my dear friends, God bless ............Tomx

You need 30 easy to fold elements and then you have to glue them together. That is the only way to make this modular.

BEST OF A BAD BUNCH! this little jenny wren, gave me enough chances, it moves so quick, and even had time to poke its tongue out, and I fluffed them all, not the greatest of images, but had to put something up for my efforts. Saying that I love them to bits............

The Goldcrest is the smallest bird in the UK, just 9cm in length, and weighs approximately 5.5g, which is the equivalent of a twenty pence coin. If not for the fiery orange stripe along its head, the Goldcrest would be a somewhat mute-looking bird, with nothing more than a dull greyish-green plumage with which to advertise its appearance.

"Meow, meow... García dear, where are you? I'm starving...
Can you turn the light back on, please? It's pitch dark now," meows Cat.
"Stop whining, I'm here!"
"Where?"
"Right by your feet ;-))"
"Ehhhh,….why do you look like that?"
"Well, wrong spell... but it'll be fine... and most important I found my childhood photo!"
"That's great…... but it doesn't take away my hunger…"
"I'll make you something to eat and turn the light back on in just a moment."
"Oke, meow…."

Wishing you all a happy Shoktoberweek ahead ;-))

TINY, lively, and highly social birds, moving in family groups or larger flocks, perching in rows on low arching stems side by side, attracted to water, seen above on tall grasses, swaying in the light winds, feeding on the seeds, could watch them all day long. Zoom in for more detail.

THANK YOU for your friendship and kind comments, enjoy the weekend, we have SUNSHINE in Kent at last, so keep safe and well ................................... Tomx
A small light (3.5in/9cm) given to me by aunt. The little birds in the snow always give me a smile!
I tried cropping this square, but for some reason I like it better as it came from the camera. Hope the month is off to a good start for everyone.
I think everybody should know by now, that I don't really do macro photography, just close-ups, mostly with Legoes.
The macro abilities of my "camera" are ridiculous. This is as close as I can get, the original, uncroppped picture is still 9cm wide, 14mm more than allowed for the Macro Mondays group.
But since I assume that this is some kind of test, if those three inches (or 76mm) could be narrowed down a bit further, I decided to participate, just to show you lot that it's a big NO!
Although I wish I'd had better optics, especially for the low light conditions of north-german winter (which is dull grey with the occasional rain), I prefer having a small camera in a pouch on my belt, rather than carrying big chunks of equipment.
Toy Project Day 2363
The smallest bird of Europe and Iceland, Only about 6 gr. in weight, 9cm in length and wingspan 14-16 cm.
SEXES similar. Common tiny black, brown, and white mannikin are seen widely in fields, villages, and bush. Lively and highly social birds, moving in family groups or larger flocks, perching in long rows, side by side, are a real joy to see at Kuto, Gambia.
==============================================
THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, will enjoy seeing your lastest postings, some amazing images coming up, have been going out locally in Thanet Kent, but it seems very quiet for this time of the year.
Stay safe and well..............................God bless..........Tomx

This is a stich up of 4 verticle 9cm square color negs. I'm going to do a more painterly treatment but wanted to show you the 'pure' version too :)
This image loves to viewed with a black background View On Black
This is a crazy format to try and show on flickr, but I uploaded a fairly large one you can scroll around on. I like the way the leaves are real large at the bottom of the frame and then pixel sized near the top
