A metallic glazed pottery vase for Macro Mondays Pick Two theme.

I was clearing out the shed last week and I came across this old hand built pottery vase that I made at my one attempt at pottery evening classes many years ago. It is not a great thing of beauty and the forgetmenots are trying to cover a great chip in the base, yet I can’t quite bring myself to throw it away, so I expect it will go back to the shed after its only moment of glory. Needless to say, I didn’t pursue the dream of being a potter!

Crazy Tuesday: Flat Lay Photography

New surveillance drones being developed and tested here in Maryland. Finally was able to catch one in action ;)

This gorgeous aqua wave looked metallic as the light caught it?

Tangara labradorides labradorides

(Metallic-green tanager / Tangara verdinegra)

Metallic-green Tanagers inhabit humid montane forests in the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. They are mostly blue-green in color, although strongly they appear to be blue or green can change, depending upon light conditions.

Their diet consists almost entirely of arthropods and fruits. Metallic-green Tanagers are usually found in pairs or small groups and often join flocks consisting of multiple tanager species.

There are two recognized subspecies of the Metallic-green Tanager (Storer 1970):

labradorides Boissinneau 1840; type locality Santa-Fé de Bogota [Colombia]

Occurs in western and central Colombia and in western Ecuador (Storer 1970, Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001).

chaupensis Chapman 1925; type locality Chaupe, Cajamarca, Peru

Occurs in southeastern Ecuador and in northern Peru (Storer 1970, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001, Schulenberg et al. 2007).

Thanks very much for your interest, fav or time to comment !!

At the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ, I found great reflective images off the many shiny metallic planes. Standing in the shady portion of the planes, I took numerous abstract photos. The abstracts are reflections of other planes, although not so obvious most times as to what the image shows.

White-Faced Ibis ~ (Plegadis chihi)

When the light catches their feathers in just the right way, the iridescent colors really sing.

Thanks everyone for helping me correctly ID this bird. A teachable moment, and a Polk County 1st for me. I wish I had recognized it earlier as to report it for others.

Thanks for visiting!

Thanks for watching!

One of the first things I saw when I walked into the garden centre. A well crafted sunflower by a clever craftsperson.

Neozephyrus japonicus

It was very very luck day for me. I could shoot this butterfly with very short distance.

Muscovy ducklings floating on what seem like metallic waters.

VQ-BWT, a Boeing 747-412BCF, on approach to runway 06L at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as LGT4402 (Longtail Aviation International Limited of St. George's, Bermuda) from the Frankfurt-Hahn Airport in Lautzenhausen, Germany.

Serial number 24975 began its career in February 1991 as 9V-SMI with Singapore Airlines. The 30-year-old still looked great.

From a distance, this wall looked like a piece of modern art — a stunning, intricate design, like a carefully woven mesh. I thought it must be made with advanced materials and complex techniques.

But as I got closer, I realized it was just a simple sheet of metal, shaped by a few cuts and a clever design. That’s it. So simple up close, yet so elegant from afar.

This photo is a quiet reminder — maybe for me, maybe for you:

Sometimes, all it takes is a change in perspective.

Real beauty isn’t always in complexity — it often lives in the brilliance of simplicity. 🌱

Sunset on a metallic structure

It was a wild windy day yesterday, which I always love. The beach was empty of people and was full of wind washed sand shapes, so it was a. great day for textures. Metallic cloud is by Damien Jurado

Aplonis metallica. Unlike most starlings, the metallic starling does not nest in tree cavities but builds large woven nests. The adult has brilliant red eyes, a long forked tail and green-glossed black plumage.
