I can't say I love the cold or trudging through the snow, but it is the best time of year to commune with my friends, the deer.

Red Fox _ Vulpes Vulpes
_8101776-1
When fox-hunting with dogs was legal in this country, ( which was not so very long ago), what let the fox down was the fact that as it’s brush (or tail) collected more mud and detritus in the course of the chase it tired and slowed down the fox and enabled the hounds to run it down, so that the red coated “gentlemen” of the hunt could allow them to tear it to pieces.
As Oscar Wilde put it, “ the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.”
I’m pleased to say that many a wily fox outsmarted it’s pursuers, and spoiled a “good day’s hunting.”

Camera obscura (plural camera obscura or camerae obscurae from Latin, meaning "dark room": camera "(vaulted) chamber or room," and obscura "darkened, dark"), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen, as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.
The term "camera obscura" also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became popular as an aid for drawing and painting. The camera obscura box was developed further into the photographic camera in the first half of the 19th century when camera obscura boxes were used to expose light-sensitive materials to the projected image.
The camera obscura was used as a means to study eclipses, without the risk of damaging the eyes by looking into the sun directly. As a drawing aid, the camera obscura allowed tracing the projected image to produce a highly accurate representation, especially appreciated as an easy way to achieve a proper graphical perspective.
A camera obscura device without a lens but with a very small hole is sometimes referred to as a "pinhole camera", although this more often refers to simple (home-made) lens-less cameras in which photographic film or photographic paper is used.
The earliest known written record of the camera obscura is to be found in Chinese writings called Mozi and dated to the 4th century BCE, traditionally ascribed to and named for Mozi (circa 470 BCE-circa 391 BCE), a Han Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohist School of Logic. In these writings it is explained how the inverted image in a "collecting-point" or "treasure house" is inverted by an intersecting point (a pinhole) that collected the (rays of) light.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE), or possibly a follower of his ideas, touched upon the subject in the work Problems - Book XV, asking:
"Why is it that when the sun passes through quadri-laterals, as for instance in wickerwork, it does not produce a figure rectangular in shape but circular?”
and further on:
“Why is it that an eclipse of the sun, if one looks at it through a sieve or through leaves, such as a plane-tree or other broadleaved tree, or if one joins the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other, the rays are crescent-shaped where they reach the earth? Is it for the same reason as that when light shines through a rectangular peep-hole, it appears circular in the form of a cone?"
Many philosophers and scientists of the Western world would ponder this question before it became accepted that the circular and crescent-shapes described in this "problem" were actually pinhole image projections of the sun. Although a projected image will have the shape of the aperture when the light source, aperture and projection plane are close together, the projected image will have the shape of the light source when they are further apart.
Brumleby (formerly Lægeforening's homes) is a residential building on Østerbro, Copenhagen in Denmark.
As a consequence of the cholera epidemic in Copenhagen in 1853, Brumleby was built on Østerfælled. The construction started in 1853 and the project was funded with that Lægeforeningen collected on a private basis. Lægeforeningen wanted to create healthy and cheap homes for the working class.
The construction phase stretched from 1853-1857 and in the first stage was built 240 very small one and two-bedroom apartments, where it at the beginning lived approx. 900 people. Due to the war in 1864, there was a number of years before the rest of the settlement was completed. This happened in 1866-1872.
When the construction was complete, it was approx. 550 apartments in Brumleby with approx. 2500 people living there.

I've collected Kokeshi dolls over the years, having been given my first one way back when - before I knew anything about their place in Japanese culture. Now I love to use them in my photography, as well as just enjoying them!
Have a happy Cliche Saturday too - and a sunny weekend 😊

Swarovski used to make a lovely range of beads ... and I collected a few of each design I thought might photograph well. These are among my favourites. Called 'brilliants' they create all kinds of colours when the light hits them. These are tiny, about 8mm cubes.

Rhodes, near Faliraki.
Many thanks to Reinoud van den Broek for the ID!
ID is based on the collected specimen.
This sp. appears to be endemic to the Dodekánisos (Dodecanese Is.).
One of the Yucca seed pods I collected while visiting New Mexico this summer. It looks pretty dried out so I thought it would be perfect for the Macro Monday's theme this week.
Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR, shot @ f/5.6, 38 Layer Focus Stack Rendered w/Helicon Focus, (B,R4,S2). Images measures 3 inches wide. Texture provided by Lenebem-Anna.
BTW: A week of having COVID and I'm so done with it. I dodged the bullet for 3 1/2 years and it finally caught me. I'm still testing positive at Day 8 but at least I'm feeling better, I'll be catching up soonest.
There is some confusion about the exact identity of this species. While H. Priesner considered all Eastern European specimens belonging to P. pogonioides, others consider this name a synonym of Priocnemis propinqua.
Based on the sculpture of the propodeum of the collected specimen, this is P. pogonioides.
This is a very rare sp. in Hungary. Until now, it was known from 3 localities, represented by about as many specimens. Bácsborista (near Kelebia) is a new locality.
Building Details Early C19. 3 storeys stuccoed. Hipped tiled roof and cornice and parapet. 3 sashes in moulded architrave surrounds. Glazing bars missing from the lower halves of the windows. Modern shop front. The Gothic remains collected by John Newington Hughes about 1826 have disappeared but the interior has a niche with a crest and the motto "SPERO MELIORA" which presumably dates from this time.
This is part of an M&S tableware set called Autumn Leaves.
I started collecting it when I got married over 50 years ago and have added to it over the years, often as because it was going out of fashion, but it's timeless to me.
It's stoneware and very long lasting.
Each step was greeted with the crunching sound of cold beneath my feet. The collected leaves were frozen together with no distinction between them. They were all frozen, different, yet all the same. This is Hoarfrost.
Thanks for stopping by
Zoom in for the details
The monumental building dates from 1656 and was designed by Daniël Stalpaert as a warehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. The warehouse housed cannons, sails, flags and naval equipment for the war fleet. About 40,000 liters of rainwater were collected in the barrel vaults under the courtyard for the drinking water supply for the ships. The Zeemagazijn was built on 2,300 piles, but nevertheless the building subsided. Buttresses and additional risalites were to prevent further subsidence or even collapse. In 1791 the building burned down, except for the stone walls. The blackened brick facades disappeared under a layer of plaster that was supposed to represent blocks of sandstone. In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the country and the Batavian Republic was founded. The five Admiralties were disbanded and replaced by a national navy. The Zeemagazijn became a warehouse for the navy. This remained so until the early 1970s.
Arrowleaf Balsamroot is a North American species of flowering plant in the sunflower tribe of the aster family. It is widespread across western Canada and much of the western United States. A specimen was collected by explorer and botanist Meriwether Lewis near Lewis and Clark Pass in 1806.
I'm sure someone with good intentions had collected this beach flotsam together prior to the pool flooding, but so so much rubbish! What a shame.

Collected my new specs aka glasses from the optician today. They came with a case in blue, my least favourite colour so I asked if there was another option.
And the lady optician produced this beautiful pink case plus a cleaning cloth in 4 different colours of which can be seen just the pink and the green sections.

Inflorescence collected from my Gold-Coast garden — iconic flower made famous by Dame Edna Everage, a creation of actor Barry Humphries. A popular flower in Australian gardens and parks. Despite its popularity and iconic status it is not native to Australia but to South Africa where it is now a threatened species.
Day 258/365:
We collected our grandson from school and took him to his swimming lesson today. This is an ICM (using the slow shutter app on my iPhone) of one of the interesting buildings next to the swimming pool. I blended two images together for a bit more oomph.
I'm hanging in here by the skin of my teeth and apologise for my lack of involvement. I really picked the wrong year to decide to do another 365.
This Long-tailed Tit had just collected some cobweb from the Hawthorn twig for nest building. Nests are made from moss, lichen, spiders webs and lined with around 1500 feathers. The Hawthorn flowers are ready to burst as well...... it must be Spring :o)
25-February-2024: Lago del Pramollo/Stausee/Pramollo lake
From Passo Pramollo/Nassfeldpass (1530m above sea level, Carnic Alps, Italy/Austria border) towards the ski resort in Austrian territory.
The artificial lights, adequately collected in 5 shots of 40 seconds of opening each, play with the reflections and reverberations of the snowflakes in dense fall.
---- some short stories, collected while walking down the street ... offering a last goodbye to the street artist video maker & photographer Gaetano: together we shared many beautiful moments in search of those fleeting moments .... that many times made us laugh because funny, damn because too fleeting, think because life is not always makes discounts .....
goodbye My friend.....

---- alcune storie minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... porgendo un ultimo saluto allo street artist video maker & photographer Gaetano: insieme abbiamo condiviso tanti bei momenti alla ricerca di quegli attimi fuggenti....che tante volte ci hanno fatto ridere perchè buffi, dannare perchè troppo fuggenti, pensare perchè la vita non sempre fa sconti.....
addio amico mio.....

Flakes collected on the trees
Where they rest and they freeze
High above the pure white ground
Without a word or a sound
Freshly fallen, new on old
Kissed by air, bitingly cold
Waiting silently up in the trees
Ready to disappear, when they unfreeze
Collected Sunrises in my Gallery:
About every other day, I shoot the view from my window and collect the pics in a gallery here: Views from my window
and the few that made "explore"

Bird fleas, Ceratophyllus gallinae
Size: 2 mm
This is a studio stack of two (dead) bird fleas placed on a microscope slide. I didn't actually position them like this. I placed them on the slide encapsulated in drops of alcohol. However the drops got stuck together and as the alcohol evaporated the fleas were drawn closer to each other and eventually ended up in this configuration. I liked the symmetry so I decided to shoot them as they were :)
I collected these fleas while helping a friend emptying the bird houses at a local golf course (a procedure repeated each year in March). Please see the comment section for more images and info!
Stacked from 21 exposures in Zerene Stacker (lit with two LED-lights).
Sony NEX-7, Nikon PB-6 bellows, Mitutoyo M Plan Apo 5X/0.14 + Apo-Gerogon 210/9.
I have collected my motorbike from winter storage, and today, on Good Friday, I went to search for spring. And I found it!
Strangely enough I drove north to find spring. Fjaerland, where we live, is pretty heavy on snow most winters. There might be snowfree ground a month earlier both to the south and the north of us, as it is this winter.
The main photo is from Byrkjello, looking south to the rather famous Eggenipa. It is a mountain walk I'd love to do, and I don't think is quite as challanging as it looks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY39Frzg8WQ
There are a few more photos in the first comment.
Collected by nuns at the Ciucea Monastery, Cluj County, Romania
Ciucea Monastery is a special place of worship. It was founded by the famous poet Octavian Goga. The Birth of the Virgin Mary was founded in 1939, one year after the poet died.
The last mushrooms (I think) collected this year, this time only honey fungus :)
Honey fungus (Armillaria mellea), is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected. Armillaria mellea is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The fruit body or mushroom grows typically on hardwoods but may be found around and on other living and dead wood or in open areas. Armillaria mellea mushroom are considered good edibles, although some individuals have reported "allergic" reactions that result in stomach upsets. The mushrooms have a taste that has been described as slightly sweet and nutty, with a texture ranging from chewy to crunchy, depending on the method of preparation. Can also be pickled and roasted.

Ostatnie już (chyba) grzybki zebrane w tym roku, tym razem same opieńki :)
Opieńka miodowa (Armillaria mellea) – gatunek grzybów z rodziny obrzękowcowatych. Występuje na wszystkich kontynentach z wyjątkiem Antarktydy i Ameryki Południowej. W Europie Środkowej jest pospolita, w Polsce również. Pojawia się najczęściej jesienią od września do listopada, ale czasami może pojawić się nawet na początku sierpnia. Zwykle występuje gromadnie, czasami bardzo licznie. Rośnie na drewnie (pnie, pniaki, gałęzie, korzenie) różnych gatunków drzew liściastych w lasach, ogrodach, parkach i sadach. Opieńka jest pasożytem atakującym zarówno martwe, jak i żywe drzewa. Wywołuje u zaatakowanych drzew chorobę o nazwie opieńkowa zgnilizna korzeni prowadzącą do obumarcia drzewa i powodującą białą zgniliznę drewna. Opieńki są grzybami jadalnymi. Są smaczne, twarde, o łykowatym, mniej wykorzystywanym do konsumpcji trzonie. Do spożycia używa się najczęściej młodych kapeluszy. W stanie surowym lub niedogotowanym opieńka miodowa może być trująca. Dlatego też należy ją najpierw obgotować przez około 5 minut i odlać wywar, po czym dopiero poddaje się ją dalszej obróbce.
