Raindrops keep falling on my head.. back and everywhere.
The third photo in my Columbian tanager series
The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

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.

Eternal Flame - The Bangles
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh

Come qualcuno di voi saprà , non amo tanto la post produzione, ma per questa volta perdonate l'esagerazione...mi piace troppo questo effetto...Buon fine settimana a tutti!
It wasn't an easy task this week. After several different approaches, attempts and smoke detectors going off, I finally decided to roll up paper in a tealight holder and simply burn the paper - this is the result. Edited in On 1 Photo Raw 2020 and Topaz Adjust.
Das war keine einfache Aufgabe diese Woche. Nach mehreren Methoden, Versuchen und Rauchmelder Aktivationen, habe ich letztendlich Papier zusammengerollt in einen Teelichthalter gesteckt und verbrannt. Das ist, was ihr hier jetzt seht. Bearbeitet in On 1 Photo Raw und Topaz Adjust.
Micro (macro) photograph of a burning candle wick. Getting close enough to nearly scorch my lens!

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.
When I first really noticed dragonflies around 2005, it was because of one large bright red (really orange) one that seemed to rule the swamp. They would fly at great speeds (well, up to 35 mph) patrolling their overlapping territories which covered two-thirds of the lake.
For awhile it seemed I was taking photos of Flame Skimmers to the exclusion of every other species (until competition from Widow Skimmers), but their numbers were only part of the reason. The other was that they perched perfectly on blades of water grasses, at the very end of a branch, or atop my favorite, the Horsetail Grass which has a matching evolutionary period of 330 million years! If that doesn't gain your interest, well, then I'll just count myself lucky enough to discovered them in the first part of the digital age.
Un piccolo petto di fuoco illumina il silenzio del bosco: il pettirosso veglia leggero sul suo regno di rami e vento.

For Macro Monday - Flame
Not really what I wanted but a lack of time sent me to the pilot light of our heater for this weeks challenge.
[Ecuador 2021] There are 2 races of this tanager -- flame rumped and lemon-rumped; this is the latter. Impossible to expose properly. Tandayapa ecolodge san jorge.
We were told to be imaginative for this weeks theme. This happens to be very unimaginative. But, I was far more worried about getting close up to a flame with the Panasonic, that imagination went out the window!
It's also not as close (how strange) as I'd usually go, but it has had a hefty crop.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
