For today's 'Looking close... on Friday!' theme 'Eraser', a macro of a kindly gifted bee-themed pencil with eraser---too cute to use, of course!
One of my attempts at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "capture the time".
Shot with a Nikon "LS-3510AF 50 mm F 3.5" (scanner) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Sometimes I wish I could erase it all and start over.
A macro view of colorful pencil eraser caps, reflected; taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "School Supplies." The frame represents a span of 2-inches across.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and an LED flashlight. The SB900s were positioned CL/CR and fired in Manual mode @ 1/64 power through 24" soft boxes. They were triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs. The LED was placed at 9-o'clock and aimed at the background.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D(AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

Macro Mondays - Erasure
These are cute colourful erasers. I even erased with the pink one to prove it. Just because they don't really look erasers.
I so love writing with pens and pencils on actual paper that I just naturally have quite a few of these.
Happy Macro Mondays
The water spills down the rocks like memory, fractured, relentless, and cold. Trees lean in, cloaking the scene in green silence, but the sound of the falls drowns everything else. It’s not peaceful. It’s persistent. The kind of place where something was lost, not buried. The rocks are slick with time, the flow too steady to be innocent. You don’t hear birds here. You hear the echo of names no longer spoken. The path leads in but not out. And the falls, ancient and unblinking, do not cleanse. They erase.

Decided, with higher shutter speed after listening to some advice from the Pros, to get a few more shorts from my make shift bird table; that consists of a shallow pot of peanuts atop an outside cabinet, then sit back and wait with the 600mm. Sure enough, one after the other, the locals descended and I managed pop off some good shots, although lighting was an issue with the cloudy sky, shutter speed priority with an auto ADL helped.
This smiley little guy (Erasure Jay) whom I have nicknamed "EJ" has been a regular visitor and one of my favourite birds. I am still learning the craft of photography and will improve in time.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
The gravestone of Frederick Humphrey, 1909, lies half-swallowed by a tree—its trunk pressing forward like a sentinel, its roots curling around the name as if refusing to forget. The leaves gather like silent witnesses, and the ground feels heavy with memory. If he was an infantryman, then this is not just a grave. It’s a battlefield of time. The tree does not grow over—it grows through. Slowly, deliberately, as if honoring the fallen by becoming part of the story. The stone resists, but nature is patient. And in this quiet corner of Merritt Island Cemetery, the line between remembrance and reclamation grows thinner by the season.

There were many fingertip erasures in her visual manuscript.

BLUE SAVANNAH - ERASURE
Layers of my tranquil solace lay before me
I paint the here and now with sweeps and bands of colour
the past a distant hazy memory
rippled textures and different hues
of mood drenched blues
may I comfort you
and steal into your dreams
and cache of stored and precious memories
I whisper magic spells; a sweet soliloquy
that conjures up your face so I can see
the love reflected in your eyes
soft and gentle as a Summer breeze
that carries me away into another world
where I unlock that precious part of me
and let unfreeze my heart that all past deeds
can float away into the ether
of this blue and tranquil night
come see the pinkish red
my heartfelt wishes paint with such delight
and in the distance to the right a welcome light
flashes like a wink; a lover's eye so bright
and knowing; let it penetrate your soul tonight
a little nudge to budge the feelings that you hold so tight
and let love flow more freely than the sea has ever known
dreams come to fruition and I no longer roam
for I have found your hiding place
and your love brought me home
no need to fear for I am here
my arms are wrapped around you
our hearts are near and dear
the past recedes; the future is unknown
but in this moment I am you and you are me
and for now our destinies are one and we are not alone.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm stuck with negative emotions I was born with or at least I grew up with. But with aging and time, it also feels like I can finally wash them away... but did they really leave? Or is it just that I am now able to replace them with positive emotions or traits that support me through life events?
How about you guys?
PS: See, now I can do frames, I'm so good at PS hahahaha

UPDATE:
As of August 2013, under a new collaborative public/private partnership with New York State Parks and Westchester County Parks and the Jay Heritage Center, restoration of the upland part of the Jay Meadow is planned under a Cultural Landscape Plan. Many of the dumps have been remediated under NYDEC review.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In just under 20 years, neglect by Westchester County Parks has erased centuries of history on Long Island Sound. And it has resulted in the creation of a dangerously unbalanced ecosystem characterized by overgrowth of invasive plants, overpopulation of deer and unchecked dumping of construction debris by humans.
The Jay Meadow is the oldest man-managed meadow on record in all of New York State. The meadow once extended more than 3/4 of a mile from the mansion to the water and was wide as well but invasives are narrowing, shortening and in fact erasing it as chokeberry, porcelainberry, poison ivy, Tree of heaven, Norway maple trees and multiflora roses take over the expanse, especially the upland Jay Property. A visible new island of trees in the center is growing at an alarming rate and soon the meadow will vanish and be replaced by a forest of invasive trees.
Ironically these plants are identified, cautioned against, and removed by Westchester County Parks at its other properties but not in Rye. See Westchester County Parks brochure on invasive plants: www.nativeplantcenter.org/Invasive Brochure.pdf

On NY State's Path Through History (2013)
This weekend marked my first visit to northeast California in 9 years. And two years ago, a massive fire, the Dixie Fire, burned through this area. In some places, the fire’s impact spared pockets of trees. In other areas like this one, the impact was nearly complete erasure of once dense, lush pine forest. In the nearly two years since the fire was contained, lots of work has been done in some areas like this one which is on private land. The dead have been felled and carried away perhaps ground into mulch. It did seem to me that in many trees the outside of the tree chars while the core wood remained, at least for a short time. Late summer rain was falling here and I wondered how many decades or centuries it will take for this area to return to full forest, if it ever does.
Well it had to happen at some point. Yep I tried to erase the phone. lol didn't really work, but it's slightly less a distraction than it was.
