And as he spoke of understanding, I looked up and saw the rainbow leap with flames of many colors over me.

Ramphocelus flammigerus -female-
(Flame-rumped Tanager / Toche)
This mom is now taking care of its offspring in the nest. For that reason her feathers appear as "messy".
The Flame-rumped Tanager occurs from western Panama south through Colombia to western Ecuador. This is a sociable bird, being typically found in monospecific flocks, which inhabit shrubby semi-open areas.

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend!
Shot for Smile on Saturday! :-), Heart on Fire
How I made it: The paper heart I learned how to make via a TikTok video. It is held with a clothes pin that I blacked out with a marker. The camera is pointed at a slight up angle to not capture the top of the white votive candle about 2 inches behind the heart. In addition to the candle light, it is front lit from below with my cell phone light for about half the exposure.

Flame Robin, Petroica phoenicea
≠==================≠
We have only had a limited success this year with the winter visiting Robin flocks. Perhaps we were not looking in the right places. Perhaps they have wanted to explore new areas on their pilgramage down from the high country.
This male was feeding along the mown area beside a roadway, and as vehicles drove past, he'd fly back to a bushy area.
Fortunately for me, he came back onto ta branch near where I was standing.

Dryas iulia (often incorrectly spelled julia), commonly called the Julia butterfly, Julia heliconian, the flame, or flambeau, is a species of brush-footed (or nymphalid) butterfly. The sole representative of its genus Dryas, it is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Over 15 subspecies have been described. (Source: Wikipedia)

Flame Robin (m) (Petroica phoenicea) from one of two encounters with this species this winter, central Victoria, Australia. The female was hunting across the forest floor nearby, while the male briefly surveyed the area from this low vertical perch; he then joined her shortly afterwards. This is an extreme crop, so fine feather detail is lacking, but I really liked the setting.
Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.

I hope you enjoy.
It's pouring rain, stifling and blowing the dog off the chain — time to bring the photographic subject indoors. The hibiscus season is almost over and the flowers are withered, wet and shredded. But wait, there in the dense shrub there's one. Quickly cut, remove insects, stick stem into some water in a wine bottle. Open the curtains wide, set the flower, camera and tripod up, and forget there's another night and day of boisterous La Nina weather. And here it is, the last flame hibiscus of the summer.
