Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
The intricated texture of a small dry sponge. It has shiny particles that in the light look like little gems that can only be seen with a macro lens.
Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.
I had to stack my 10+16+21mm macro rings to get close enough and reveal the fabulous structure of this feather.
The background is a block of cork.

The most subtle and intricate nature of a rose lends itself to thoughts of a world of intimate fantasy…
Early spring - half dead half alive - awaiting the "greening" of the earth.
Catching up...experimenting with textures and masking.

"There’s a light that shines in the darkness.
There’s a destiny waiting at the end of the road.
There’s meaning in the middle of this emptiness.
There’s a reason you’ve been asked to carry this heavy load.
Lessons are taught when we reach out
Farther than we thought we’d ever dare.
Faith abounds when we confront our deepest doubts,
Enduring more than we dreamed we could ever bear.
There’s a dawn waiting at the edge of every midnight.
There’s a seed planted with every fallen leaf.
With every wrong there’s the chance to make a right.
With every hour of suffering there’s an eternity of relief.
Our darkest moments give us the opportunity
For seasons of our greatest growth.
Everyday we work towards continuity
Of acceptance and persistent hope"
-Poem Written by Justin Farley
For the #Macromonday #Yellow theme. Taken in my garden as the sunlight gently pushed through the shadows on one of my climbing shrubs against a wall.... Keep safe friends. Keep the hope alive... #MacroMondays
Made from a digital photography from my portfolio, a digitally painted watercolor painting unveils the picturesque scene of an inner street within the fortified city of Carcassonne. The brushstrokes capture the essence of this historical location, where narrow cobblestone streets wind their way amidst ancient stone structures. The painting portrays a vibrant atmosphere teeming with life as tourists amble along the meandering lanes, enchanted by the allure of the medieval architecture that surrounds them.
The focal point of the artwork is the beautiful yellowish stone buildings, standing tall with their two-story structures, proudly displaying the marks of centuries gone by. The textured strokes of the brush bring life to the aged walls, highlighting their unique character and weathered charm. The warm hues of the stone reflect the sun's gentle caress, creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow across the canvas.
The street itself appears alive, bustling with activity. The artist's attention to detail showcases the diversity of the passersby, their clothing and accessories hinting at various cultures and backgrounds. Curious tourists explore every nook and cranny, their eyes drawn to the intricate architectural details that adorn the buildings. Balconies adorned with potted plants overflow with vivid blooms, providing a splash of color against the ancient stone backdrop.
As the eye wanders deeper into the painting, the narrowness of the streets becomes apparent. The use of perspective creates an illusion of depth, guiding the viewer's gaze deeper into the heart of the city. Delicate shadows cast by the overhead sunlight dance along the street, adding a sense of movement and capturing the fleeting nature of the moment.
In this captivating watercolor, we are transported to a bygone era, where the fusion of history and everyday life creates a timeless charm. Invite us to stroll through the streets of Carcassonne, to admire the enduring beauty of its medieval architecture, and to become captivated by the unique atmosphere that emanates from every stone and passerby.

This night photograph of Nanputuo (or South Putuo) Temple was taken during my visit last November to Xiamen University, China. Nanputuo is a famous Buddhist temple founded in the Tang dynasty in Xiamen, and draw many visitors during the daytime.
The photograph was taken using my camera mounted on tripod placed outside of the fence as it was outside the visiting hours for the temple. The illuminations for the temple and surrounding structures highlighted the intricate details of the roof and other structures.
Dominik (my photo-buddy) and I tried a session of light painting and this was one of the results. Thank you David for the inspiration. www.flickr.com/photos/55740718@N03/
Long stamens and tiny flowers so intricate, each one not more than a few millimeters across.
Seen on the way to the pond in our local park. The tree never bears fruit, it's so small, like a big bush.
Anyway, here we are - painted as always with the help of Topaz Studio, PicMonkey and Picasa. I like all these methods of doing my photos as they've all got features not found on the others. A bonus I got Topaz to work on this fast but old laptop. Anyway, I hope you like it. I think Spring might just be coming along !!
Mariza- Primavera Live in London
Love this Portuguese fado, it's so passionate and Mariza's performance and her group accompaning her are all artists in their own right ..... happy spring.... unlike this song, Saw Mariza with the same group live a few years after this live performance, and she was wonderful !
Beautiful bronze statue/fountain at Pioneers Memorial garden of Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. The Memorial Garden commemorates the men and women pioneers of Australia. The garden was officially opened on the 3rd February 1938. As part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of Australia in 1938, this garden was built on the site of the central dome of the Garden Palace built for the International Exhibition of 1879. The massive Palace, opened in 1879, was completely destroyed by fire in 1882. 10471
This Pictish cross-slab, with its wonderfully intricate carvings (I love the sea horses on the lower right, complete with tails AND hooves!) dates to approx. mid 9th century. There is also a wonderful battle scene on the reverse - but I was shooting directly into the sun. Well worth a visit! There are also three roadside symbol stones on the road through Aberlemno which are very well worth seeing. Note though that all four stones are covered between October and April to avoid winter weather damage.
Found this old jewel box in one my cupboards . The patterns and inlays are slowly peeling off but the work is still exquisite.
Took the photo in bright sunlight. on a white background .
The design and pattern on this box is found in many traditional and ancient Indian items.
One summer morning after a heavy dew fell overnight, I spotted this intricate spider web. It was woven on and around some rhododendron leaves. The first thing I thought of was that the web and leaves were shaped just like a sailboat.
