At home, I love reaching out into that absolute silence, when you can hear the owl or the wind.

Did I tell you I adore owls? I count myself lucky to live somewhere populated with many different kinds, and sometimes friends can hear them too when I voice. I'm also a night owl. Which takes me to the eagerly anticipated Engine Room event.
Here is a sneak peak of a couple of the many fantastic items you're going to find there, and there's more to come! The Gaiters by Hotdog will quickly become your wardrobe staple as you ring the changes and have fantastic texturing, and the Hover-board by Quills & Curiosities is awesome with a hud to give you both a clean, dirty or even an Aether or sci-fi look. The plasma and engine flames are colour mod.

The owls are happy.
La bellezza è solo in superficie. Ciò che è veramente importante è trovare un equilibrio tra mente, corpo e spirito.
Beauty is only on the surface. What is really important is to find a balance between mind, body and spirit.
(Jennifer Lopez)
“The winds and seas, the powers of water and earth and light, all that these do, and all that the beasts and green things do, is well done, and rightly done. All these act within the Equilibrium. From the hurricane and the great whale's sounding to the fall of a dry leaf and the gnat's flight, all they do is done within the balance of the whole. But we, insofar as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the leaf and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance. Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore

Balance - Equilibrio
Balancing the fruit on the little guy's body wasn't difficult, but getting the 52 Mm lens cap to balance on the angel's head proved to be interesting.
Taken for the group MacroMondays. Theme: #Balance
What does the word 'balance' mean to me ?
Defying gravity is how I see the word, but of course it has many meanings. For an idea for a macro it was a question of balancing some thing on some thing to defy gravity which was a real challenge as I discovered. I tried lots of different materials but settled on three glass nuggets balancing on top of each other. Trying to balance four glass nuggets proved impossible, gravity won every time! It was not as easy to do as I first thought, a question of patience on my part trying to find the exact spot to balance each nugget, keeping my cool and not breathing too hard and then lighting the scene required further patience but I'm pleased with the result!

With the encouragement of its two siblings, the newly fledged Australian Hobby chick attempted a landing on a very thin branch. It took much use of the wings and tail feathers to maintain balance until it got a firm foothold.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and faving my photos. Its very much appreciated!
I wanted to rub the small metal antenna to perhaps make in sticky and balance the feather, but it didn't work. In the end I resorted to a dab of glue.
Chased this little guy up and down as he tirelessly patrolled his territory. Love the color of him and especially his wings.. It almost looks like I bumped up the color, but as you can see from the little white tufts, this is pretty much exactly the right colors. I wanted to crop this closer to get a better look at the dragonfly, but I just couldn't stand cutting off the stalk he's clinging to.. I just like the composition like it is..

This photo of The Balancing Rock is from Big Bend National Park in Texas, at the end of the Grapevine Hills Trail, also known as the Balancing Rock Trail. I wish I had stood beneath the rock in this photo to give it some sense of size/scale. My recollection is that the bottom of the rock is about 10 feet or so off the ground. The Grapevine Hills Trail is only about 1.1 miles one-way, but the dirt road to get to the trailhead is about 6 miles or so. The trail is essentially in the middle of nowhere and was rocky in places, so I was glad not to get a flat (also, I was out of water and it was rather hot on that day)! On the hike to The Balancing Rock, the scenery was great and I almost felt like I was on another planet!

The post is always there but the 9 rocks balanced on the top are not. I wish I could claim credit for this masterpiece of rock balancing but I can’t. I watched from our window whilst a man on the beach took around an hour to build this. When I went out to ask i him if I could take a photo, it turned out he was from Liverpool and he’d been perfecting his craft and teaching others for over four years. We were hoping that the sun would appear central to the hole before it set, but sadly the elevation on this evening was all wrong. It still looked quite spectacular all the same. It seemed as shame to see it being dismantled but seemingly he always puts things back has he finds them on the beach before he leaves, mainly for safety reasons should the rocks fall on anyone.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
A hairstylist holding a scissors in balance. If dropped, the scissors decalibrates and it's no longer usable. We almost dropped it twice to take this shot. :)
This is a hedgehog style balance pod. An exercise tool. When I was in PT yet again this year, I used them there. Found them on Amazon.com so I purchased them for home use. My balance is awful! Won't bore you with all the reasons why ...
I was so happy when I realized I actually had something cool to shoot for the theme!
