This worm gear came from my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth window control mechanism that I had to replace. If you know me, you know I like little motors so I dissected out the motor and found this interesting worm gear. I've posted the complete armature part of the motor before and I even shot this gear once but never posted it. So, with "Screw" for the Macro Mondays theme this week I decided to shoot it again and see what I could come up with after a bit of cleaning. So much for the rusty lag bolt...

 

The worm screw gear is relatively small and measures 0.35 in. x 1.0 in. I used the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens w/PK-12&13 Extension Tubes, 41.5mm total extension and a 30 image focus stack at f/5.6 to keep everything sharp. The first time I shot this I found the orange and blue clamps that I used to "suspend" the gear had snuck back into the reflection so I wrapped the clamps with my gold ribbon and taped some to a piece of cardboard that I placed below the gear. I used blue tape to hold the ribbon to the cardboard and it got picked up but I liked the look by the gold. You can also probable guess the color shirt I'm wearing.

   

I came across this old barn sitting out in the middle of a field, loved the way the sun was beating on it, the clouds and frosty ground give it a special setting.

 

Came across this broken decayed barn, the date on its 1870, love seeing old barns, sometimes I think if those walls could talk.

Once upon a time, the pine tree, that spring is already approaching.

The mole croaked grimly: - He will surely come by car.

The hedgehog turned stern: - Rather on a scooter.

The snake hissed: - I don't believe it, he'll come on a bicycle.

The blackbird whistled: - I know something about it, he will come by plane.

- From where again," said the magpie, "I do not take my eyes off her

and last year in May I saw her on the streetcar.

- Not true spring usually arrives by motorcycle!

- And I will prove to you here that it is by car.

- Not true, because in a carriage!

- In a carriage? - What are you saying?

I can briefly declare that he goes by his own boat!

And spring has come on foot.

Already the flowers are enjoying her , already the grasses are growing before her

And they are humming - welcome spring!

This hermit thrush is another local celebrity at Commonwealth Lake. It came out to give us a show before it went back to its hiding place.

Niagara Fog...

 

Digging through the archives I came across this shot from August 2016 when we had visited Niagara Falls, A sudden dense fog rolled in over the whole area socking us in with a thick white haze everywhere and the mist was so heavy you needed an umbrella to stay dry. this shot was going along Niagara Parkway east of the falls. The building in the background is the Sheraton on the falls Hotel mostly hidden from view bythe mist.

The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.

 

With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.

I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.

Rejoice over the elements of nature.

I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.

 

Small supplement of today:

The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....

 

....first there was darkness till i created the night, first there was darkness and darkness was right. darkness is moving into the light...

Sunny Spain not so sunny last weekend, but it's lovely to see so much snow!

 

Have a wonderful week and keep warm!!

 

As always, thanks for your visits, comments and faves, they are greatly appreciated!

 

:-)

the sun came out just at the right moment, the whole day it had been cloudy... remembering a beautiful meaningful dream last night.

Few likely remember the Cinebomb classic from 1957 "From Hell It Came". For those who are familiar will agree this tree closely resembles the horrifying oak that snatched up young island girls while they slept and deposited them into a pool of quicksand. This being a common event on remote islands where tree's are left unsupervised and allowed to freely roam to pursue these unspeakable acts of violence.

Came across this owl unexpectedly on my local dog walk.

Well after an eventful few hours down at Steetley capturing that gorgeous sunrise, we decided to have a walk around the prom at the Headland in Old Hartlepool.

The light and sky still looked wonderful, so I decided to try out the newly acquired very early Xmas present donated to me by an exceptionally kind Flickr friend.

It's early days yet, lots of buttons and toggles to get used to and hopefully with Ken's conversion of all the jargon I'll get there.

Kept it simple in composition, I'm not sure you'll feel the same but I could stare out to sea for hours

We came across this Black-Crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) just off the trail at Circle B Bar Reserve (CBBR) near Lakeland, Florida. Initially, he appeared to be sleeping but then he opened his left eye. It may be that one way birds lose body heat is through their beaks. This guy seems to be keeping his beak warm by tucking it under his feathers. He measures 23-28 inches (58-70 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip.

Came upon this view while hiking up to Lake Agnes there in Banff National Park. Just had to stop and take a shot ... hard to do this view justice but liked the interplay of tall pines and the peaks and the patch of blue sky through the clouds.

When it came to the Moscow Metro, I had a good idea what to expects, but the reality was something else. Spacious, stunning, immacculate and clean hardly covers it. There were very few people, Alla said that was because trains come every 90 seconds. Each station has a unique theme, there are no billboards, I could have spent a day visiting stations and riding the trains; this was railway heaven beyond my wildest dreams.

 

This shot of Mayakovskaya Metro station. The Moscow metro is a marvel of urban design. Every day, as many as 9 million people use the metro system -- that's more than in New York and London combined. As well as being one of the most efficient and cheapest underground transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro is also undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. The brainchild of the tsars but finally put into action by Stalin, whose idea to make the city’s metro stations “palaces for the people” has translated into some truly spectacular, subterranean architectural gems. It’s possible to spend an entire day or more travelling the metro and exploring the vast array of ornate stations; each constructed and decorated in its own unique way. There are 215 stations on 14 lines.

As the sun came over the mountains, one of the tallest dunes received the first of the early morning rays. It was really nice to watch the light creep across the dunes as the sun gradually cleared the mountain ridge.

Dash Berlin - When You Were Around ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬

Amazing tunes a must^^

 

I miss those times

I miss those days

When you were around

So many ways

 

And it felt so safe

And I was glad

But now something's changed

Makes me sad

 

And I was waiting patiently

But you never came

I realize it now

Won't ever be the same, again

Won't ever be the same, again . . .

When I came upon this Cormorant gazing out over the water at a local lake, I wondered if it was lonely or just liked hanging-out alone. I’ve found there is a difference.

 

"All by Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter Eric Carmen. The most notable cover version of the song was recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion in 1996.

Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

 

Hannah Gale

 

There was a little dinosaur,

who made a rock his friend.

He took the rock everywhere,

and said he'd keep it till the end.

 

One day it was a wee bit cold,

so he held it very close.

But when he felt it start to move,

he thought that it was gross.

 

First popped out the little head,

then some arms and legs.

So which one really did come first?

The chicken? No. The egg.

“It was not recklessness when you risked nothing, when what you did made no difference to anyone, not even to yourself.”

― Louis Bromfield, The Rains Came

Came back to see if the goslings had hatched. Still waiting.

an idea Ephran came up with ages back and we only managed to get photos just the other night.

 

its out of my norm of pretty faces ....but Ephran has a great eye for detail and a wonderful imagination, so i don't hesitate when he wants to dress me up !

 

He mostly played with the photography, but i did one shot of my own.

 

Thank you for a wonderful night of your company Eph.

 

<3

  

Came to my sister's house and what did I find, someone lurking around, being a peeping Tom, but in this case a peeping Jason!

Thanks to my Manda poopoo and Asrtixss for the fun!

I came here without a choice

I'm sorry I could never thank you

For saving me more trouble

I didn't want any trouble

If you were given one more chance

Would you bring me back to life?

Bring me back into the light

Into the light

And let it shine on

Let it shine on us

And if I say I love you

Well, then I love you

And if I say I love you

Well, then I love you

The innocence in your face bled out without a trace

You've won without an enemy, you're ill without a remedy

As night bleeds into night, and I know I came off better than you

It doesn't mean that I feel better

It doesn't mean that I feel better

And let it shine on

Let it shine on us

Came upon this beautiful scene after a walking tour with an incredible guide. Almost every corner of this City seems to have beauty. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too bad on this day - no sky replacement needed on this photo!

Time goes by

And the snow is drifting

Slowly in the sky

Cold, cold night !!

 

He came with is mate but the swans on the lake didn’t like it because it’s there lake.

They have five Cygnets small compared to other swans.

They was going up and down the lake.but they went in the end.

The two swans on the lake are going a bad moult.

I came across a number of bones in the mud which looked human whilst taking this photo, but I suspect that they maybe from the resturant below Canon Street Railway Bridge.

I came across this scene earlier this week while out on a local trail. The moose was lying in the snow, tending to what looks like a nasty wound while this opportunistic Magpie hopped right up on the moose's rump and snagged a bill-full of hair. Undoubtedly this hair will be used as nesting material. I couldn't resist snapping some shots of this annoyed moose as she defends herself from her much smaller foe. I think this would make for a really great children's book.

But it was a beautiful days. Students studying and resting by the circular pond.

Wishing you all a fine weekend!

Came across this multi acre grove of trees in the middle of nowhere a few weeks back. They were perfectly spaced and unusually uniform in height. My guess would be a greenhouse that went out of business....

 

Have a great treemendous Tuesday!

Anthony DiNozzo, Very Special Agent of NCIS, came back.

Last time we saw him it was in April. He is wild and lives in woods.

He arrived this morning with the soil covered by frost and with temperature was -3°C/26,6°F.

Ziva David was waiting for him on the windowsill ♥ (inside)

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
