Plastic - An interesting theme for this week's Macro Monday. I like plastic and as suggested, it wasn't too tough finding a worthy subject in the house. I had a few CD's lying around and thought it would be interesting if I could extract the data via some unconventional means. I chose a torch and applied a little heat to the underside of the CD. Before my eyes, the data started to emerge in the form of little bubbles and I knew I was on to something. For the shot, I added a little sunlight (fleeting sunlight I might add) and my trusty 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro with a PK-13, 27.5mm extension tube and it was done. Included in the experimentation was my 50mm Pentacon and various extension tube lengths. I liked this one the best but the bokeh of the Pentacon is very unique.
The bubbles don't really contain data but it seemed to fit so I went with it. You may think you're looking at a curved surface but its flat and looks just like a CD with one side melted a bit. Enjoy large.
Subject size: app. 3/4 in X 3/4 in.
Happy Macro Mondays

I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.

Making donuts at home can be a delightful experience! Here's a basic recipe for classic fried donuts:
Essential Ingredients:
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110°F / 45°C)
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
For Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, butter, and egg. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Knead: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Cut out donuts: Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters to cut out donuts and holes. Place them on a floured surface and let them rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Fry: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry donuts in batches, turning them once, until golden brown (1-2 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
Glaze: Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and let them cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy your homemade donuts! 🍩

Eastern Spinebill
Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris
The Eastern Spinebill sometimes hovers like a hummingbird when feeding on the nectar from flowers. Most Australian honeyeaters feed on flowers from a perched position.
Description: The Eastern Spinebill is most easily recognised by its very long, fine, down-curved beak and energetic flight, during which its white outer tail feathers are prominent. Males have a grey-black crown which extends in a black line on either site of the breast. The breast and throat are white, with a rufous patch in the centre of the throat. The wings and lower back are dark grey and the underparts and upper back are buff. Females are similar to males but have less distinct markings.
Similar species: Crescent Honeyeater, Tawny-crowned Honeyeater, Western Spinebill (in Western Australia)
Distribution: The Eastern Spinebill's range is generally east of the Great Dividing Range from Cooktown in Queensland to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia
Habitat: The Eastern Spinebill prefers heath, forest and woodland.
Seasonal movements: Largely sedentary, but undergoes some local movements, especially away from higher elevations in autumn/winter.
Feeding: The Eastern Spinebill feeds on insects and nectar while perched or while hovering. Nectar is obtained from a wide array of flowers, including grevilleas, but its beak is particularly well-suited to extracting nectar from tubular flowers such as epacrids.
Breeding: The Eastern Spinebill's nest is a small cup of twigs, grass and bark, combined with hair and spider's web, built in a tree fork, generally between 1 and 5 metres from the ground. Only the female builds the nest and incubates the eggs, but both parents feed the young when they hatch.
Calls: Short, repeated, high-pitched piping.
Minimum Size: 15cm
Maximum Size: 16cm
Average size: 16cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

En los últimos días, si queremos acoger al Señor, no sólo debemos tener un discernimiento de los comportamientos de los falsos Cristos, sino que, lo que es más importante, debemos conocer la esencia de Cristo, lo cual es la verdad más fundamental y crucial.
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “Aquel que es Dios encarnado poseerá la esencia de Dios, y Aquel que es Dios encarnado tendrá la expresión de Dios. Puesto que Dios se hace carne, manifestará la obra que pretende llevar a cabo y puesto que se hace carne expresará lo que Él es; será, asimismo, capaz de traer la verdad al hombre, de concederle la vida y de señalarle el camino. La carne que no contiene la esencia de Dios definitivamente no es el Dios encarnado; de esto no hay duda. Si el hombre pretende investigar si es la carne encarnada de Dios, entonces debe corroborarlo a partir del carácter que Él expresa y de las palabras que Él habla. Es decir, para corroborar si es o no la carne encarnada de Dios y si es o no el camino verdadero, la persona debe discernir basándose en Su esencia. Y, así, a la hora de determinar si se trata de la carne de Dios encarnado, la clave yace en Su esencia (Su obra, Sus declaraciones, Su carácter y muchos otros aspectos), en lugar de fijarse en Su apariencia externa”.
“El Dios que se hizo carne se llama Cristo, y así el Cristo que les puede dar a las personas la verdad se llama Dios. No hay nada excesivo en esto, porque Él posee la esencia de Dios, y posee el carácter de Dios, y posee la sabiduría en Su obra, que el hombre no puede alcanzar. Los que así mismos se llaman Cristo, pero que no pueden hacer la obra de Dios, son fraudes. Cristo no es sólo la manifestación de Dios en la tierra, sino que también es la carne particular asumida por Dios a medida que lleva a cabo y completa Su obra entre los hombres. Esta carne no puede ser suplantada por cualquier hombre, sino que es una carne que puede soportar adecuadamente la obra de Dios en la tierra, expresar el carácter de Dios y representarlo bien, y proveer la vida al hombre. Tarde o temprano, aquellos que suplantan a Cristo caerán porque, aunque afirman ser Cristo, no poseen nada de Su esencia. Y así digo que la autenticidad de Cristo, el hombre no la puede definir, sino que Dios mismo la contesta y la decide”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
De las palabras de Dios, podemos ver que la esencia de Cristo es Dios encarnado. En otras palabras, el Espíritu de Dios del cielo se reviste de carne y se convierte en el Hijo del hombre para obrar entre los hombres. Aunque es ordinario y normal por fuera, posee una esencia divina. Por lo tanto, Cristo es capaz de expresar la verdad, la voz de Dios y hacer la obra de salvar a la humanidad. Así como el Señor Jesús, quien era Dios encarnado, Cristo, y a pesar de que era una persona común y corriente en apariencia, puso fin a la Era de la Ley y abrió la Era de la Gracia, expresando la verdad, otorgando a las personas el camino del arrepentimiento, haciendo la obra de redimir a toda la humanidad mediante la crucifixión y mostrando muchos milagros y prodigios. Además, el Señor Jesús también predicó por todas las partes, expresó la verdad en toda ocasión según las necesidades prácticas de las personas para proveer y pastorear a ellas, y Sus palabras y Su obra confirmaban plenamente que Él era Cristo. De la misma manera, Dios Todopoderoso encarnado ha venido en los últimos días, ha realizado la obra de juicio comenzando por la casa de Dios, ha expresado todas las verdades que purifican y salvan a la humanidad, ha revelado todo el misterio del plan de gestión de Dios y ha expuesto la raíz de del mal y tiniebla del mundo, la naturaleza satánica y los caracteres corruptos de la humanidad que peca y se resiste a Dios, al mismo tiempo, le ha indicado el camino de ser purificada del pecado, etc. De no haberse encarnado Dios, ¿quién podría expresar la verdad que purifica y salva a la humanidad? ¿Quién podría hacer la obra de purificar y salvar a la humanidad? Solo Dios encarnado es capaz de hacer estas obras. Por lo tanto, por la verdad expresada y la obra realizada por Dios Todopoderoso, podemos reconocer que Cristo de los últimos días, Dios Todopoderoso, es el regreso del Señor Jesús, Dios encarnado, Dios mismo, el único.

The Lake District is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes, forests and mountains (or fells). It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. All the land in England higher than 3,000 feet (914 m) above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and largest natural lakes in England Wast Water and Windermere respectively.
Le Lake District est une région montagneuse située dans le Nord-Ouest de l'Angleterre. Très appréciée comme destination de vacances, elle est renommée en raison de ses lacs et montagnes (ou collines) En plus la région a été ajoutée à la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'humanité, par l'UNESCO. Tous les sommets d'Angleterre s'élevant à plus de 900 mètres d'altitude se trouvent dans le parc, notamment Scafell Pike, le point culminant de l'Angleterre. Il contient également les lacs les plus profonds et les plus grands d'Angleterre.
Der Lake District (deutsch „Seebezirk“) ist einer von fünfzehn Nationalparks des Vereinigten Königreichs. Als erster Nationalpark des Vereinigten Königreichs erhielt er im Juli 2017 den Status eines UNESCO-Welterbes. Er liegt in der Grafschaft Cumbria im Nordwesten Englands rund 130 km von Manchester entfernt und erstreckt sich über 2172 km². Die Cumbrian Mountains machen einen Großteil der eindrucksvollen Berg- und Seenlandschaft aus. Alle geographischen Punkte über 3000 Fuß (914,4 m) in England liegen im Lake District, ebenso der größte natürliche See Englands, der Windermere.

A male Green Thorntail Hummingbird extracts nectar. This wide ranging hummingbird is small and will frequent feeders. There are many of these shimmering green hummingbirds at Rancho Naturalista, Costa Rica.
The extractor spins one way then the other to empty the honey from the cells in the frames. The honey goes into a sump, the wax is trapped in the first compartment and then honey collects in the next one until it is pumped out. We sell our honey but are not going to be well off any day soon 😊
An extract from this day's Journal entry:-
Checked out of the hotel this morning, first stop the Dinosaur Museum where we had a one hour guided tour. An interesting place, especially interested to see so many turtles who had obviously died together in the mud, some with their neck and head extended from under their shells. There were many excellent exhibits such as nests of dinosaur eggs and dinosaur babies, along with fossils and reconstructed skeletons.
Next we went to the State Department Store (GUM), bought food for the 24 hour train ride to Irkutsk. From there just a short walk to a Mongolian bbq restaurant where we arrived much too early for lunch. They weren’t ready for us and I wasn’t hungry. There was a good selection of thinly sliced meats (including horse), vegetables and sauces which we put in a bowl and took to a man at a big round hotplate. He cooked our food in a couple of minutes and returned it to us on a flat plate; delicious.
There were other cooked dishes to chose from as well, curries, rice dishes and sheeps heads among them. There was also a selection of sweets, three varieties of sorbet and cakes to finish the meal.
After lunch we rode to the station to wait for the train. We were a good hour early, no risk of missing the train. Said goodbye to Ganbaa, our Mongolian guide, sorry to see him go, a man named Zorek will accompany us to Irkutsk. Our train is an East German built set, old but sturdy, hauled by 3 Mongolian Railways locomotives. I am sharing a cabin with Zorek, a man named Tsange from Zimbabwe and his girlfriend Linda who is Anglo Chinese. Tsange and Linda are only travelling as far as Ulan Ude in Russia.
This Australian parrot is a Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and it is using its bristle brush tongue to extract sweet sticky nectar and pollen from within the flowers of a 'Corymbia' Summer Red (formerly Eucalyptus).

I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

By using a combination of a "detail extractor" and a "contrast only" filter in Color Efex Pro 4, I found the image had what could best be described as "drama." That's what this image in essence is about. I took several images while at this point just north of the Meeting-of-the-Waters Viewpoint. What I then noticed was just an amazing set of contrast that came out, especially in the rivers with the rapids and the trees with the various leaf colors. Then there was the mountainside and then the dark clouds above. With all that, contrast and drama just seem to be a way to entitle this image.
Doesn't happens often that I witnessed a Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) spreading his wings under the early morning sun. Usually I find them hanging quite low in the grass with their wings closed like a hiding batman.
With the harsh back light it was quite challenging getting the exposure right so I used a fill flash to extract some extra detail.
"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. "
Henry Ward Beecher
Common Things.... Like a walk in winter.... and, well, Like Cheesecake. Like cheesecake in the fridge at work. And people that tell you.... “Torrie, there’s cheesecake in the fridge!”
(hmmmm, cheesecake!) ... “and there’s raspberry syrup too!” (that’s it.... I’m in!!) Grabbing the cheesecake and putting it on a plate and hoping that
the person that I made a deal with after Christmas to slap any chocolate or cookies he sees me eating right out of my hand and I would do the same for him, doesn’t see me
with this cheesecake because it would break my heart to see it slapped to the floor... and I look up, and he is standing in the doorway.... (busted!) As he says, “Wow. You have some willpower.”
(oh crap!!) And I try to convince him to eat the other piece of cheesecake so I won’t look so bad.... but he refuses. (Darn.... he HAS willpower?!!!) And next time I look up, he’s eating a Funny Bone... and we
all agree that Funny Bones are the best snack cakes every made. Half an hour later, he’s sitting at my desk, eating the other piece of cheesecake.... smothered in raspberry sauce... and drops
a little bit of it on my plate. And we discuss the need for adventures... and other important things ...like what else the raspberry sauce is good on. And I admit, that I would happily eat that raspberry sauce without cheesecake, by the spoonful.
Not a thread of willpower anywhere. And that makes me very happy!
