SERIES: REDISCOVERING MEXICO CITY
A luminous sculpture is made up of stacked car wheels at the museum of San Ildefonso, Mexico City.
This particular piece was made by Geysell Capetillo Álvarez.
OK so not totally true it's a mystery, but isn't it a neat magical metallic package? It's the pupa of the Common Australian Crow butterfly, Euploea core, whose shot is alongside this one, hanging underneath a leaf. The pupae can be either silver or gold in colour.

I promised myself not to use my lightbox tonight, so I was rummaging through my things I could take a cool photo of.
These were strangely in a box of art supplies that I had, probably stolen from my dad's toolbox years ago.
Lit with a variety of LED rave lights, DIY LED pens and Nikon SB600
Posting pattern review and blog post shortly...
For now, this is a dress I have wanted to sew since last summer. Now it is too cold to wear it! Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity pattern 2584. The front slit is insanely low and I will prob. sew in a lace modesty panel for some... you know... modesty.
Here's the pattern review. And it's blogged here.
Metallic stripes clothes have always been in style and black and gray colors also make your flattering figure.
Metallic menace at first sight,
Look closer at it,
Surely you see more,
I mean apart from energy saving,
A lot more can be seen through this metallic door,
Beauty up close or far away,
Always standing prominent,
To reassure sceptics along the way,
So reconsider,
When examining one of these,
Perhaps if you get down,
Right down on your knees,
You'll be able to see up close,
One would hope,
And admire the wind like an open sea

One of my favourite species from Far North Queensland, the fantastic Metallic Starling.
These incredibly coloured birds migrate from New Guinea to Far North Queensland each year for the wet season to breed. They construct incredible communal nests in specific trees, with some locations housing hundreds of nests all together. As you can see in this image, the nest are built right on top of each other & can cover the whole tree, like a sprawling high-rise of Metallic Starling apartments!
As you can imagine the noise (& sometimes smell!) is something else! There are often squabbles amongst neighbouring birds & sometimes they will try & steal nesting materials from one another! It can be quite chaotic.
Amazingly, each year these birds return to the same trees they have nested in previously to breed & raise their young, before heading back to New Guinea.

Most people are familiar with our butterflies, but we also have some *amazing* live insects in our collection. Some are on display in the Hall of Entomology, and some go out to schools through our Bugs on Wheels program. Our entomologist, Erin M, raises these amazing arthropods, and she let us invade their abode with a couple of cameras recently. We came away with these photos, and hopefully a pretty cool video series (coming soon!)

I like the metallic look of this oil on water shot. Although I don't think I'll ever be fully happy with them unless/until I have a DSLR...
