Wood Warbler - Phylloscopus sibilatrix
The wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe, and just into the extreme west of Asia in the southern Ural Mountains.
This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in tropical Africa.
It is a summer visitor to the United Kingdom, seen from April until August. It has declined there in recent years. It is now very rare in Ireland, where only one or two pairs are recorded breeding in most years, usually in County Wicklow.
Various factors associated with forest structure, including slope, forest cover, proportion of broad-leaf forest, canopy height and forest edge length, all influenced the occupancy rates of this declining forest species. Conservation measures are therefore required that provide and maintain the wood warblers preferred forest structure. There is also a preference for forest in the non-breeding season, however this habitat is declining in wintering areas such as Ghana. Despite the decline in forest habitats, there has been no change in number of wood warblers as it appears that this species can use degraded habitats, such as well-wooded farms. However, further loss of trees will likely have a negative impact on this species in the future

I have no reason to steal this title except that I like the sound of it and there is a measuring device in our images today.
This is a paper ruler (I used it because it was orange) with an orange paper in the back and a yellow glass heart which came glued to a miniature wooden peg. I applied a texture to make it more interesting. I think the heart was scratched anyway, I erased the texture from it but it never sparkled.

Hello All!
This week's challenge for the Macro Mondays group are things you use in the kitchen for preparing, cooking or serving food. Happy Macro Monday! HMM!
Thank you for your views and your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day and week ahead!

Tremezzo, in my opinion, although it is a small commune with little more than 1300 inhabitants, has a more urban aspect, perhaps by the greater circulation of cars in the edge along the lake.
Very frequented by tourists, it has wonderful hotels, but its main attraction is Vila Carlota, a beautiful palace transformed into a museum, with a grandiose garden, in fact a small Botanical Garden given to the incredible variety of flowers, including several from a climate tropical, like orchids, bromeliads, cacti, succulents. A lovely surprise indeed.
For now some pictures of Tremezzo only;)
The stars are far brighter
Than gems without measure,
The moon is far whiter
Than silver in treasure:
The fire is more shining
On hearth in the gloaming
Than Bold won by mining,
So why go a-roaming?
O! Tra-la-la-lally
Come back to the Valley.

Macro Mondays' weekly theme is: tape.
This is a measuring tape I've used for 20-30 years of sewing. Its wear and tear are showing in the photo.

Macro Mondays, Theme: Measurement
For an image where its easier to see the scale, see:
my thoughts on the laowa 65mm:

I am using here an adapter and a lens (Helios 44M-7, a 58mm lens) that is not coupled with the camera (Leica M8). So, the camera does not help at all with focussing. Instead, I used a measuring tape, adjusted the lens accordingly and chose a narrow aperture (F11) to increase the chance of achieving good focus. It does work, though this is my first successful shot applying this method. In "real life", I think, I should use a portrait lens that is coupled to the camera.
It really doesn't matter how we feel in a situation if we feel as though we don't measure up that is all we know.

This metal micrometer measuring gauge was one of my father's many tools; before his death he gave many of them to my husband. This tool was used for precise measurement and to measure gap widths.
After he and my mother survived active war duty in the army, they went to university. There they became concerned about government and politics the more they learned. Glad they can't see our situation now.
Inspired by #MacroMondays and #father. As shot, except to remove a bit of cyan along an edge. Approximate width 5cm/ 1.97 inches.
NB. I tried for a no-frills or bokeh approach, a more engineering streamlined look. The histogram looks okay...does it look too dark on your monitor?
Pour it all together
I don’t set the measure
only my fate bears responsibility
baby it’s whatever
this magical texture
fills up the void inside of me
think I learned my lesson
on another level
take me home and put me straight to sleep
I gotta confess
first I felt refreshed
but the aftertaste is bittersweet
I’m a psychedelic addict
la-lay me down on the mattress
will you just take off my panties
and put the shower on
warning content’s graphic
when the water washes away the rebel
you should pick it up and grab it
before it’s gone
I think we've got some wild and windy cold weather later this week , so I hope for some good beach fun. It'll make a. change from my adder watching. I've seen well over twenty individuals so far this year. the males should be shedding their skins soon then looking for females. So much to look forward to. Weights and Measures is by Dry the River
i think I may branch off a wee bit from the theme days. Here and there mind you. It is only because I am getting a back log in some other areas.
Happy Window Wednesday anyway.....lol
Mehtab Bagh is a charbagh complex in Agra, North India. It lies north of the Taj Mahal complex and the Agra Fort on the opposite side of the Yamuna River, in the flood plains. The garden complex, square in shape, measures about 300 by 300 metres and is perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal on the opposite bank.During the rainy season, the ground becomes partially flooded.
My Closest. Funny things is this little black cat is a mini tape measure, you can just see the tab end at the feet. Happy Monday. HMM
