OK, this photo of a great tit settling down to roost in our nestbox won't get far in any Wildlife Photo of the Year contest, but it's a peek at behaviour only seen using specialist equipment. This box has basic camera and infrared lighting installed in the roof, enabling live images to be beamed by wifi to a TV. The view during daylight is better!
Great Tits are common UK garden and woodland birds and are hole nesters, frequently taking advantage of nestboxes erected by birdwatchers. Great tits and their smaller blue tit cousins, both very attractive species, are presently battling their way through winter (and with each other), often relying on food handouts from us and are willing to approach close to our windows to feed. This nestbox is affixed to the house wall.
The birds begin inspecting nesting sites in January, making their choices in the next few weeks so now is the time to obtain or build a box and erect it to provide an opportunity to give them a leg up. A short plank, a saw, a few screws and a drill is all that is needed for a worthwhile lockdown project. On the other hand, if a trip to a DIY store is essential, many stock non camera equipped nestboxes for around £10. The birds build their nests from around April, lay in May and, all being well, the chicks fledge in early June.
This particular box was previously used by a pair of blue tits who laid 12 eggs, 11 of which hatched, the birds raising 10 chicks successfully. We watched the process from start to finish. It started like this so we are optimistic that the box has been adopted early in the season and that once more we may be privileged to witness the birds building a nest and raising a family; but we have seen nests fail too. Only time will tell.
While on a walk in downtown Greenville, SC. I stumbled on this shoot taking place in an old rehabbed building. He was photographing Quinceañeras, (Spanish: “15 years [feminine form]”) also called quinceaños or quince años or simply quince, the celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her passage from girlhood to womanhood. There were about 20 girls in these beautiful gowns. It is a whole world that I previously, knew nothing about. I never really like to make sepia images, but maybe because of this time-honored tradition, I feel it appropriate. ##HiddenWorlds
From "A Thousand Kisses Deep" (Leonard Cohen)
Don’t matter if the road is long
don’t matter if its steep
don’t matter if the moon goes out
and the darkness is complete
don’t matter if we lose our way
its written that we’ll meet
at least that’s what I heard you say
a thousand kisses deep
well that’s my story
I admit its broken and its bleak
but all the twisted pieces fit
a thousand kisses deep.
I am still reeling from seeing Leonard Cohen (finally) last night at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. I simply wasn't prepared for him to open the show with "Dance Me to the End of Love" and I unashamedly cried throughout his entire recitation of the poem "A Thousand Kisses Deep" and when we reminded us that it was "Closing Time" I really didn't want to go home! So this is dedicated to Leonard - for a night to be remembered.

The hidden worlds captured with Fuji Provia, Velvia, Ilford, and many other rolls of film that witnessed so much in our hidden worlds, today we capture on an SD card, but we lose out on the delight of developing, and seeing the hidden worlds becoming a creative image.

The dear Stormlover tirelessly cares for the smallest insect, takes amazing photographs of birds visiting her feeder and is completely devoted to all things nature. In addition she is always quick to praise and lend a hand to all flickerites. If you have not had the good fortune of doing so already do visit Alison's inspiring site at
The black flies are terrible this time of year so I can barely touch my garden during this time but when there is a nice breeze it seems to blow them away and I can get out for a few minutes to pull weeds. I noticed this hole and was startled when these 2 eyes staring back at me. He would come out any farther and then the black flies came out with a vengeance.
Not able to get my tripod out before he disappeared.
I am working on an assignment called: Can't See Me", not sure if this was exactly what they were looking for.

The BBC adaptation of children's fantasy book The Box of Delights by John Masefield has become a Christmas tradition in our home. The visual effects seem primitive now, and the cultural gap (housemaids etc) makes it fairly inaccessible to modern kids.
This is my recreation of the box being opened, allowing access to a hidden world.

Now will someone please take a picture of an old wardrobe in their spare room?

Matka Canyon is one of the most impressive natural landscapes in North Macedonia. Just half an hour outside Skopje, the Treska River has carved a deep gorge over thousands of years, creating steep limestone walls and a landscape that feels both rugged and serene. Hidden between these cliffs lies the Vrelo Cave, accessible only by boat. Vrelo is considered one of the deepest underwater caves in the world, with estimates reaching over 230 metres — large sections of which remain unexplored. Inside the cave, an almost mythical silence dominates. Here, thousands of years of dripping, mineral-rich water have created an impressive 3.5-metre stalagmite, rising slowly from the cave floor. The colourful lighting — red, gold, green and blue — reveals every fold, ridge and calcite layer, highlighting the complexity of a formation that grew in total darkness. The scene captures the hidden heart of Matka: not the canyon above ground, but the quiet, timeless world concealed deep beneath it.
Deep inside the Vrelo Cave — one of the world’s deepest underwater cave systems — a 3.5-metre stalagmite has formed over centuries as mineral-rich water dripped from above. Coloured lights reveal its layered calcite structure and bring out the textures shaped in complete darkness. It offers a glimpse into the quiet, hidden world beneath Matka Canyon, far below the river and cliffs above.
Matka Canyon is één van de meest indrukwekkende natuurgebieden van Noord-Macedonië. Slechts een half uur buiten Skopje heeft de rivier Treska hier in duizenden jaren een diepe kloof uitgesleten, met steile kalkstenen wanden en een landschap dat tegelijk ruw en sereen aanvoelt. Verborgen tussen die rotsen ligt de Vrelo-grot, bereikbaar alleen per boot. Vrelo staat bekend als één van de diepste onderwatergrotten ter wereld: schattingen gaan tot ruim 230 meter diepte, waarvan grote delen nog altijd niet volledig in kaart zijn gebracht. In het binnenste van de grot heerst een bijna mythische stilte. Hier heeft het druppelende water duizenden jaren lang een indrukwekkende druipsteenformatie opgebouwd: een 3,5 meter hoge stalagmiet die langzaam omhoog is gegroeid vanaf de grotvloer. De kleurrijke verlichting — rood, goud, groen en blauw — laat iedere plooi en calcietlaag oplichten en onthult de complexe structuur die in absolute duisternis is ontstaan. Het beeld vangt het verborgen hart van Matka: niet de uitgestrekte canyon boven de grond, maar de stille, tijdloze wereld die diep daaronder verscholen ligt.
Middle age changes some things. But I'm wise enough to avoid trouble. I just need assistance from time to time.

A gateway to hidden worlds. This is a Wild microscope. I used it for several years to do micro photography.
Baltic amber, also known as succinite, is the largest known deposit of amber. It is fossilized pine tree resin that contains prehistoric plant material, insects, and strands of DNA. Baltic amber has some distinguishing characteristics rarely found in other types of amber.
Thank you to Sumarie for letting photograph her beautiful Baltic Amber specimen.

A wonderful mug with writing in English, Yiddish, and Hebrew.
Adventure in a Stone Age land underground.
“When David Innes and his inventor friend pierced the crust of the Earth in their new burrowing device, they broke out into a strange inner world of eternal day – a world back in the Stone Age, where prehistoric monsters still lived, and cave men and women battled against fierce inhuman masters.
“The story of what these two men did in that new world of Pellucidar makes AT THE EARTH’S CORE one of Edgar Rice Burroughs most outstanding bestsellers.” [From the back cover]
This is the first paperback printing of “At the Earth’s Core” and the first in a series of Edgar Rice Burroughs novels published by Ace Books. Thirty-six novels by Burroughs are part of the Ace F-series, which are the first paperback printings, published from 1962 through 1964. Roy G. Krenkel, Jr. created seventeen covers for the series, Frank Frazetta created seventeen covers, Ed Emsh created one (Ace F-159), and Krenkel & Frazetta together get credit for one (Ace F-245).
Ace Books was founded in 1953 by A. A. Wyn, and is the oldest continuously operating science fiction publisher in the United States.
