I am wearing the Hera skin by Stix (formerly pixy stix) via the omega head applier for my Eve'olution head and it is one of the most beautifully detailed faces I have ever seen.The ears are Leevi (long) by Lumae. My tattoo is Kumari by Lushish Catz and my dress is Bellarix by Soedara. W/L only, no edit.
Elfin Saddle (Helvella lacunosa) is an Ascomycota, a type of fungus that shoots its spores rather than dropping them from gills or pores.
Asci, the spore-bearing cells, are typically 340μm long x 16μm diameter. Each ascus contains eight spores. Spores are ellipsoidal, 15-19 x 10-13μm.
A fascinating, odd-looking fungus, but it is easily missed.

Red-backed Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus melanocephalus
Description: This is the smallest of the fairy-wrens, with the male in breeding plumage inmistakable; glossy black with a scarlet saddle, black bill and shortish tail with a squared tip. Adult non-breeding males and immature birds are very similar to the females which are plain warm-brown with a pinkish-brown bill, though males have a black bill. The tail of the females is longer and more pointed. These wrens have no blue in their plumage at all. They are usually in small family groups with mainly brownish birds.
Similar species: The breeding male is unmistakable. Eclipse (non-breeding) males and females are a warm brown with pale lores and eye-ring and are smaller than the similar Superb Fairy-wren M. cyaneus, which have orange-red lores. The Variegated Fairy-wren is also bigger with a longer tail. These wrens rarely overlap with the similar White-winged Fairy-wren M leucopterus.
Distribution: Red-backed Wrens are endemic (found only there) to north and east Australia.
Habitat: They are found in dense understorey dominated by tall grasses in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Seasonal movements: Resident and sedentary, and may move locally in the non-breeding season.
Feeding: Red-backed Wrens feed on small insects and arthropods, feeding in small groups among tall grasses and shrubs, sometimes in trees.
Breeding: Little is known about their breeding habits. The small dome-shaped nest is well-hidden and placed close to the ground, often in grass tussocks. The nest is made of grasses, bark strips and spiders web, lined with fine grasses and feathers. The eggs are white, splotched and spotted with red-brown marks. The female mainly incubates and broods the young. Both parents feed the nestlings, sometimes helped by others in the group, and remove the faecal sacs.
This is the smallest of the Fairy-wrens and is sometimes known as the Elfin Wren.
Calls: The call is a weak high-pitched reeling song, soft and unobstrusive, often only heard from quite close.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2-3
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

I have not posted an image since last fall. Spring has been slow to arrive in the Carolinas in 2021. A pair of Brown Elfins (males?) were swirling in front of me last Friday in the Carolina Sandhills NWR. Sings of spring!!
My first of the season! Just when the clouds and winds started...this Elfin landed in the field next to us.
Henry's Elfin (Callophrys henrici) is a spring butterfly, very small and looking like a tiny teddybear. It is the first elfin to be on the wing, at a time when the landscape is still gray and brown.
Native hollies are the preferred larval host plant in the coastal areas and American Holly (Ilex opaca) is the choice in Maryland. In the mountains, however, it is the deciduous native Redbud (Cercis canadensis) that's used by Henry's larvae.
Some individuals whose larva feed on the evergreen holly show distinctly green highlights on their wings.

***************
📷 Photographer's note:
It was -5 °C 'real feel' and I was too much of a wimp to take off my winter gloves to find and attach a neutral-density filter. So, instead, I stopped down the camera's aperture to f/22, and, voila, I was able to shoot a long exposure (gaining a sense of motion in the water). I placed focus differently in three separate shots to ensure everything was in focus from front to back. And I took an additional shot — at a faster shutter speed— to retain texture at the base of the falls. Whew!
