Une histoire à raconter sur cette photo :
Nous ne sommes plus tout à fait dans la narration de mon confinement, cette photo ayant été prise le 12 mai : une de mes toutes premières première sortie à plus d'un kilomètre de la maison.
Il y en avait un autre qui faisait sa première sortie après un long confinement : mon vieux Fuji X100 première génération que je croyais perdu. Je l'ai retrouvé la veille de cette promenade.
Le pauvre : 5 ans dans un placard bien sombre de ma résidence secondaire.
Il a quand même fallu racheter la batterie, l'ancienne tenait à peine 30 photos.

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
We have a lot of earth works going on at our property, and I am finding so many fascinating elements to document. This is an attachment for the excavator and a big pile of clay material we’re holding onto so that we can hopefully have enough to line a small dam!!
Agrilus cf. acutus, Family: Buprestidae
Buprestidae is a family of beetles known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles because of their glossy iridescent colors. The family is among the largest of the beetles, with some 15,000 species known in 450 genera. In addition, almost 100 fossil species have been described.
A variety of bright colors are known, often in complicated patterns. The iridescence common to these beetles is not due to pigments in the exoskeleton, but instead is caused by structural coloration, in which microscopic texture in their cuticle selectively reflects specific frequencies of light in particular directions. This is the same effect that makes a compact disc reflect multiple colors.
The larvae bore through roots, logs, stems, and leaves of various types of plants, ranging from trees to grasses.
Agrilus is a genus of jewel beetles, notable for having the largest number of species (about 3000) of any single genus in the animal kingdom.
A vintage powder compact that I found while cleaning my house a long time ago. It was the one my mother used when she was young. It's so fashionable that I asked her to give it to me.
There is still powder inside, but of course it's too old to use. But I still treasure it because I like it so much.
The size of this compact is 5 cm, including the part not shown in the photo.
Shooting in RAW with the Lumix DMC-TZ80 compact camera is especially important in making black and white conversions. It is possible to select a monochrome jpeg option in camera, but I always want to have full control over my conversions. That way you can get a richer tonal range.
El solsticio de invierno
Esta mañana (21 de Diciembre) mi calle estaba llena de gente para disfrutar de un fenómeno que lleva produciéndose más de 2000 años. En el solsticio de invierno el sol al salir ilumina de lleno la calle.
Zaragoza se trazó siguiendo los cánones romanos a partir de dos grandes vías urbanas: el “Cardo Máximo” de norte a sur, (aproximadamente la actual calle Don Jaime I) y el “Decumano Máximo” de este a oeste (C/ Mayor hasta C/ Manifestación). El resto de las calles se trazaban paralelas a éstas creando una estructura ortogonal, de red o cuadrícula, que formaban manzanas que se irían llenando a lo largo de los años con distintos edificios y casas de las familias más pudientes.

”Árboles desnudos
corren una carrera
por el rectángulo de la plaza.
En sus epilépticos esqueletos
de volcadas sombrillas
se asientan,
en bandada compacta,
los amarillos
focos luminosos.
Bancos inhospitalarios,
húmedos
expulsan de su borde
a los emigrantes soñolientos.
Oyendo fáciles arengas ciudadanas,
un prócer,
inmóvil sobre su columna
se hiela en su bronce”
Plaza en invierno - Alfonsina Storni
Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.

I like Steveston Harbour because I can always find my favorite reflection.
Have a great Friday and weekend!
This is an archive picture and below is the original story posted.
It is close to the end of year. The new year of rabbit starts on Thursday.
This is time for reflection.
Did I have too much fun with my Fuji compact?
Did I do too many panoramas lately?
Did I do too many infrareds?
Should I take more color shots?
Best wishes to my Flickr friends in the new year and hope everybody is getting more great pictures!
