¤ On Black ¤
An abandoned house and now-silent telegraph pole and wires on the "outskirts of town" at Bodie State Historic Park in California. The wires are more-easily seen by clicking the "On Black" link above--opening a slightly larger view. A keen eye will also pick up on a primitive lightning rod on the roof of the house.
It is possible to glimpse the Eastern Sierras in the distance: A constant reminder of the harsh winters which visit Bodie. Some clouds were nice enough to stop by, making this image worth a trip of the shutter.

Not my usual "flyer" but a fascinating moth. Its wings can beat up to eighty times a second, 4,800 times a minute, sadly I don't have the skill or camera that could cope with that.
This is a picture taken back when I visited New Mexico last year... going through my archives now :-)
Have been trying to upload another pic of a humming bird... it's just not getting uploaded for some reason.... finally up! Please check comments for the pic.
Repaginei uma antiga blend dela que eu tinha feito
Tentei fazer uma coisa diferente e ficou igual a minha cara, mas enfim...
Depois eu posto o PSD, tem um trat meu. Eu fiz uma das texturas e um stock, felicidade.
I thought the humming birds had left but only the male has migrated. The female and the juvenal are still hanging around. I looked up info on this. The male leaves and the female and young build up fat for their flight and there is not competition. I notice the two of them where not battling like the male and female. I believe this is the female she has more color and the juvenal is very plain
Aleje glagoljaša, od Roča do Huma, nalazi se jedanaest spomenika, deset ih je od kamena, a samo su humska gradska vrata od bakra, a fotografija prikazuje odmorište žakna Jurja, a sastoji se od sedam kamenih stolaca u obliku slova koja ispisuju ime žakna Jurja. U sredini se nalazi visoki kameni stup u obliku knjige, na čijim je koricama uklesan Jurjev zapis

These Anna's Hummingbirds stay with us all winter. It has been cold here at -6 to -8 Celsius and we just had 20 plus inches of snow. These little birds rely on us to feed them when it is cold and snowy or they won't survive. High key photo. The background in all snow.
Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends.
A wonderful display of stuffed Humming Birds, of which this is only a part (avoiding reflections and getting some details) sits in a glass case in the Natural History Museum. The Victorians had a huge thing about Taxidermy, and bones - evolution was a new idea that was either good or evil according to ones ideas, but they loved to display anything to do with new or intriguing species, ancient or modern. The museum opened in 1881.
I got up at 4:30 this morning and drove miles to one of those rectangular states to try to sell some photos. All in all, a very mediocre day. Hardly worth the drive. Part of the problem was that someone bought a couple of my shots that were more "conversation pieces" that drew in the buyers.
Anyway, on the way home, I decided that a shot of a Hummingbird looking into the lens of the camera might be a good draw. I figured the best way to do it was to tape a little mirror onto the front of the camera and it would come to see his own reflection. Great plan. I stopped on the way home at a Dollar Store to get a cheap mirror (does anyone need the quality make-up that came with it? It's is sort of brownish-bluish-green.)
I got home, set up the camera, taped the mirror to the front, and, well, nothing. Crud! Light was leaving fast. What to do? What to do? I put the lens cover back on the lens and taped a couple of yellow flower petals to it. Then, I covered up the opening on the feeder. I figured that the bird MIGHT come to the yellow on the lens cap. The problem was that I could probably only fool him once, so I was going to have to make the shot count. As most of the hummer shots are blurred or some other problem, I was counting on slim odds.
I got exactly THREE shots off when he fell for my diabolical plan (the other two totally sucked).
So, now you know how I did it (notice that the lens cap is on the camera). Please feel free to add glowing notes of praise below.

Every first week in September, the hummers arrive en masse. So far this year, there doesn't seem to be as many as usual, but we still have enough to warrant 3 feeders (so far). By this, I mean that you have to fill 3 feeders on a daily basis to keep them from going dry.
Some years, we've had to put out 6 or more feeders to keep the little suckers happy.
Magnificent valley around Muong Hum, in my next tour in May 2017 it will be time for plowing and rice planting
