YOU SAY THAT SOMETIMES I LOOK LIKE A DANUBE TO YOU
I COME BLUR, UNKNOWN AND ALONE
FLATLAND ALL AROUND ME
FOREIGN PLACES, FOREIGN FACES
DAYS GONE BY, DISTANT LIGHTS
SORROW, HAPPINESS, TRUTH AND LIE
PEOPLE STRANGE AND FUNNY
PEOPLE HAPPY AND SINNING
Djordje Balasevic - YOU SAY THAT SOMETIMES..
Đorđe balašević - Kazes da nekad
Kažeš da ti nekad izgledam k'o Dunav
stižem mutan, nepoznat i sam
oko mene svud ravnica
tuđe zemlje, tuđa lica
Prošli dani, svetla u daljini
Tuga, radost, istina i laž
Ljudi čudni i smešni
Ljudi sretni i grešni
Haiku
fiori di campo
ornano un vecchio legno-
acqua passata
in limba:
vrores de campu
mutan sa linna vezza-
abbas colattas

Bullfinch with scaly leg disease that affects finches.
"Chaffinch papillomavirus is a virus in the Papillomaviridae family which can cause skin disease known as papillomatosis.
Cnemidocoptes spp. are mites which belong to the family Sarcoptidae that can cause skin disease known as cnemidocoptosis. In passerines (songbirds), C. jamaicensis and C. intermedius are the most common mite species; C. mutans typically affects poultry and C. pilae affects psittacine birds (such as pet budgerigars).
There are many colloquial names for these conditions, including “tassel foot” for papillomatosis and “mange” or “scaly foot” for cnemidocoptosis." from GardenWildlifehealth.org.
I had this bird coming to the feeders in early spring, it comes alone and as Bullfinches mate for life I'm guessing the female died.

There are two main causes of leg lesions in British finches:
• Chaffinch papillomavirus (or Fringilla coelebs papillomavirus 1) is a virus in the Papillomaviridae family which
can cause a skin disease known as papillomatosis.
• Cnemidocoptes spp. are mites which belong to the family Sarcoptidae that can cause a skin disease known as
cnemidocoptosis. In finches, C. jamaicensis is the most common mite species, while C. mutans typically affects
poultry and C. pilae affects psittacine birds (such as pet budgerigars).
There are many colloquial names for leg lesions in finches, including “tassel foot”, “mange” and “scaly foot”.
They are not a frequent cause of death but may compromise the welfare of affected birds: there is no evidence that
they pose a conservation threat. www.gardenwildlifehealth.org

I have had an ID from Joseph Schubert Research Assistant (RA) at Monash University
Female of an undescribed species closely related to 'Saitis' mutans. The placement of Australian species in this genus is doubtful as the type species (Saitis barbipes) is of Mediterranean origin and has a significantly different palp structure to our Australian species. Until the genus is revised, this 'Saitis' species from WA will unfortunately remain undescribed.

Chaffinches do seem to suffer from afflictions to the legs and feet and this is a particularly badly afflicted individual. There are two main causes of leg growths in Chaffinches in Britain. Perhaps most common is Chaffinch Papilloma virus (CPV) but its effects are similar to those of a tiny burrowing mite called Knemidocoptes mutans (Scaly Leg Mite). The mite burrows between the leg scales causing them to loosen and rise. But CPV produces similar symptoms as it causes a cancerous growth known as a papilloma. Some tested birds were found to be suffering from both conditions and some birds suffer from an additional bacterial infection getting into the wounds. But on the positive side many Chaffinches with diseased legs appear to be otherwise healthy and feed normally. There have also been cases where ringed birds with affected legs had normal legs when they were subsequently caught showing that they can get better. Both the mites and the virus can be passed between birds although CPV probably needs to get into an open wound on the feet, so is not especially contagious. But good hygiene at feeding stations can help reduce the incidence of these conditions. Because this one has relatively unaffected feet compared with the legs, I'm thinking this one is more likely to be affected by Scaly Leg Mites.

PLEASE COMMENT WHEN YOU FAVORITE
Some of these have been lying around, but others i just made and wanted to put in.
Rocket Racoon: changed his ears from white to brown and gave him a big gun. Also changed his tail but you can't see it.
Star Lord: Not to happy with him. I just really need to improve the coat.
Emma Frost. went with a more modern look, and less like a stripper.
Nightcralwer: not to sure how I feel about him. i took away his coat and gave him the gaurdains star lord torso. it gives him more of a suited look, idk...
Pyro: wish i had a better head, but sadly, none exist
She-Hulk: i might have posted her before, can't remember. i gave her nebula's torso cause it's goes great with her.
AntMan: Decided to take out the blue, and it really works.
There are some images of the females,two colour variations, in last years postings,will up date them later.These little guys are very small and their colour blends into the sand they live in so it not easy to find or photograph them,the females are a bit larger but they too match the colour of the sand!
Picture for the MacroMondays group theme on January 21st, 2013: Reflection.
A lot of things can reflect image. In a beautiful sunny day, I found blue sky and white clouds reflected on a beetle. If you look into it, you can find me and my lens in there too! ^^
Happy MacroMonday!
