The sun destroyed the hoar frost and quickly melted the fragile ice crystals, but not before some beautiful pieces of winter cover were highlighted.
I saw that a rose was just flowering in my Garden, so I cut it with the aim to photograph it indoors, by the time I got to it the next morning for the best light, half of the petals had dropped already.
Showing the fragility of living things when removed from thier natural environment.
Again I was hoping for a frosty morning, as I'm trying to shoot this plant covered in a frost. Even though it lacks the frost, I like the composition of this image.

In the wake of a devastating apocalypse, the remnants of humanity, humanoids, androids, and visiting aliens face a chaotic and desolate world. Amidst the ruins, a fragile unity emerges, driven by the shared necessity to rebuild. As former boundaries blur, collaboration becomes a lifeline—a testament to resilience and the possibility of harmony even in the darkest times. This series captures the poignant beauty of an unlikely alliance forged in the crucible of survival.
Beneath the ashen skies, we stand,
Fragments of lives, of dreams unmanned.
Android hearts and alien eyes,
Reflect the echoes of human cries.
Where chaos reigns, we plant the seed,
Of unity born from mutual need.
No borders now, no walls, no chains,
Only the hope that life remains.
Through shattered halls, our voices soar,
A fragile hymn for what's in store.
Together we build, together we mend,
In this strange new world, where time may bend.
Ruins cradle hope,
Wires and flesh weave fragile dreams,
New worlds softly bloom.
Alien whispers,
Echo through the broken earth,
Harmony is born.
Chaos births anew,
Hands of steel and flesh entwine,
Life reclaims its throne.
Simplemente un macro que me gustó mucho como quedó.
Me encanta la sonbra que crean las alas... y los colores de la fotografía.

Gator Park. Everglades National Park. Florida. USA. Apr/2016
Everglades National Park is a U.S. National Park in Florida that protects the southern 20 percent of the original Everglades. In the United States, it is the largest tropical wilderness, the largest wilderness of any kind east of the Mississippi River, and is visited on average by one million people each year. It is the third-largest national park in the lower 48 states after Death Valley and Yellowstone. It has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, one of only three locations in the world to appear on all three lists.
Although most U.S. national parks preserve unique geographic features, Everglades National Park was the first created to protect a fragile ecosystem. The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests fed by a river flowing .25 miles (0.40 km) per day out of Lake Okeechobee, southwest into Florida Bay. The Park is the most significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America, contains the largest mangrove ecosystem in the western hemisphere, is home to 36 threatened or protected species including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, and supports 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles. The majority of South Florida's fresh water, which is stored in the Biscayne Aquifer, is recharged in the park.
O Everglades (em inglês: Everglades National Park) é parque nacional norte-americano localizado na porção meridional dos Estados Unidos, no estado da Flórida. É a única área subtropical preservada da América do Norte. O parque possui flora tanto subtropical como tropical e é muito conhecido por sua grande quantidade de pássaros, além dos aligatores e crocodilos. Cobre área de 6.105 km² e recebe cerca de um milhão de visitantes anualmente.
O local onde se situa Everglades foi autorizado a ser parque nacional em 30 de maio de 1934 e foi totalmente estabelecido nessa condição em 6 de dezembro de 1947. No dia 24 de outubro de 1979, o parque foi declarado patrimônio mundial pela UNESCO.
Day 25: I wonder if this is a bit too shocking?
Have to say I was shocked to see how much weight my little girl has lost and how poorly and frail she looked as she slept (she's had a Norovirus infection and been pretty ill with it - worse than the rest of us). Anyway, this is a personal shot to remind me how fragile my children are sometimes.
(also day 333/365 of the 365 project I started in Feb 2010)
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are

When something so fragile can raise from stones, it teaches us about courage, hope and life itself.
Here. I always will be set.
This is an immature female Fragile Forktail based on the illustration in Ed Lam's beautifully illustrated "Damselflies of the Northeast." He lists this very small species as being 21 - 29 mm or .8 - 1.1 inches long.
The damselfly was near several others including a male with green markings in a brushy area at the edge of a lake. The markings that look like an exclamation mark on the shoulder allow it to be identified in the field.
I spotted quite a few dragonflies and butterflies in the Dutch Gap area including Zebra Swallowtails. Several Yellow-throated Warblers were singing along the 5-mile loop path at this park.

Voici une photo prise il y a quelques temps, mais que je ne pouvais pas poster, car je n'avais pas lu le livre... Je triche un peu, car je ne l'ai pas encore terminé, mais j'ai bien lu les trois quarts de ce recueil de nouvelles fantastiques. J'aime bien Neil Gaiman, mais j'avoue ne pas pouvoir lire ses short stories d'une traite : elles ne sont pas spécialement effrayantes, mais il y a toujours un fond un peu inquiétant ; il est plus facile de les lire par paquets de 5 ou 6. Dans ce recueil, j'ai bien aimé la nouvelles" Other People" (une vision intéressante de l'enfer), et "Goliath" écrite dans le cadre du film Matrix.Par contre, vu qu'il est en VO, j'ai beaucoup de mal avec les poèmes.

The name Fragile Beauty comes from the Chinese symbolism of a dragonfly.

Moments ...
My father's hand in my first day of school
The eyes-contact with Anna through the hospital's glass
The first kiss at platform 2
The happiness even if I was the only one chubby ballet dancer with glasses

In my mind, he's still a fragile little infant who requires my careful attention and complete devotion for his livelihood. Truth is, he's a spirited toddler. And he tumbles and scrapes those knees. I scoop him up, wrap my arms around him, assure and comfort him, apply necessary band-aids or a simple smootch. He's off again...
Last of the crazy colour shots from my super expired roll of film.
The photo is actually of a series of rolls of tape at Michael's workplace.
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

My wife and I hiked the short trail to the Artists Paint Pots thermal area. Very crowded, even on a cold October day, but worth the walk. Here is the info from the Park Service website:
"Artists Paintpots is a small but lovely thermal area just south of Norris Junction. A one-mile round trip trail takes visitors to colorful hot springs, two large mudpots, and through a section of forest burned in 1988. Adjacent to this area are three other off-trail, backcountry thermal areas: Sylvan Springs, Gibbon Hill Geyser Basin, and Geyser Creek Thermal area. These areas are fragile, dangerous, and difficult to get to; travel without knowledgeable personnel is discouraged" (NPS.gov).
