HIHD, Should have had my camera out yesterday two very tiny flys were at it on the window - When down came a spider and I'm afraid yup you guessed it got one! The other thought it had escaped - but in its haste to flee quickly flew straight into the web - At least they went with a smile lol!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch I spotted these two lovebirds. I did a google search but never found anything like this so I have no clue what they are. They seem to be in abundance this year and from the looks of things, maybe even more so next year! LOL Update: Thank you Brad Hamel for the ID, these are Gold Backed Snipe Flies!
these hover flies are very small, I have enlarged it so that it can be seen, they are good pollinators of flowers and have a liking for aphids. Great to have in your garden. This is one of several slightly different ones. If you have a garden of flowers, you need Hover Flies.
It is a bit cold here at the moment being winter, cold overnight but usually 21 during the day. Still some insects about though.
These flies were about half a centimetre long and it was only by chance that I spotted them when checking the leaves of the bush. I had no Macro lens with me so I used what was on the camera. It's 5 images focus stacked in Photoshop.
It is a bird in the honeyeater family, and endemic to Australia. It is grey, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye and white tips on the tail feathers. It's a vocal species with a large range of songs, calls, scoldings and alarms, and almost constant vocalisations. They are gregarious and territorial; they forage, bathe, roost, breed and defend territory communally.
The noisy miner is a large honeyeater, 24–28 centimetres (9.4–11.0 in) in length, with a wingspan of 36–45 centimetres (14–18 in), and weighing 70–80 grams (2.5–2.8 oz). Male, female and juvenile birds all have similar plumage: grey on the back, tail and breast, and otherwise white underneath, with white scalloping on the nape and hind-neck, and on the breast; off-white forehead and lores; a black band over the crown, bright orange-yellow bill, and a distinctive patch of yellow skin behind the eye; a prominent white tip to the tail; a narrow olive-yellow panel in the folded wing; and orange-yellow legs and feet. A juvenile can be distinguished by softer plumage, a brownish tinge to the black on its head and the grey on its back, and a duller, greyish-yellow skin-patch behind the eye.
The noisy miner is a gregarious species, and the birds are rarely seen singly or in twos; they forage, move and roost in colonies that can consist of several hundred birds
The noisy miner does not use a stereotyped courtship display; displays can involve 'driving', where the male jumps or flies at the female from 1–2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) away, and if she moves away he pursues her aggressively.
The noisy miner primarily eats nectar, fruit, and insects, and occasionally it feeds on small reptiles or amphibians.

Morning Joe is one of my favorite projects, long may it continue.
For anyone interested, here is an interesting interview with "Joe", all the way back from 2007 when he was still a young buck at 97 years of age. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh8LrNBqUxE

Coleção: A poesia dos movimentos invisíveis: um olhar, um passo, um gesto, as linhas da cidade ou um detalhe qualquer, completados pelo olhar, criando uma poética nos movimentos que só existem no encontro entre corpos, fotógrafo, local, pessoas fotografados e quem vê a foto, e isso pode gerar uma potência de presença, uma dança estática.
Collection: The poetry of invisible movements
A look, a step, a gesture, the lines of the city or any detail, completed by the look, creating a poetics in the movements that only exist in the encounter between bodies, photographer, place, people photographed and who sees the photo, and this can generate a power of presence, a static dance.

Un nugolo di insetti passa davanti al disco del sole che tramonta... e crea un effetto abbastanza curioso :)

These are 5 very tiny Hoverflies (Toxomerus geminatus) on a Meadow Wild Rose flower (Rosa blanda), which is also known as a Smooth Rose or a Prairie Rose.
I'll respond back to your comments soon. Please have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Best regards, Kate
PS - I may not be on Flickr much for the nest few weeks, as there’re a lot of outside chores to be done! However, I’ll try to respond to your comments when I find the time.
Not sure what these little flies were as they too small and kept on moving! They wandered around the hydrangea leafs attached to each other for sometime! HIHD
Time does not pass where time flies...
Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2024
In the overcrowded public transport of a big city, time stands still, and at the same time, time flies. While the minutes drag by in a kind of torture, time is consumed by routine, and there is almost nothing left to live.

São Paulo SP, 2024
No transporte público superlotado de uma grande cidade, o tempo não passa, e ao mesmo tempo, o tempo voa. Enquanto os minutos se arrastam em uma espécie de tortura, o tempo é consumido pela rotina, e não sobra quase nada para viver.
A poesia dos movimentos invisíveis: um olhar, um passo, um gesto, as linhas da cidade ou um detalhe qualquer, completados pelo olhar, criando uma poética nos movimentos que só existem no encontro entre corpos, fotógrafo, local, pessoas fotografados e quem vê a foto, e isso pode gerar uma potência de presença, uma dança estática.
