What a challenge keeping the mirror clean. Certainly drove me nuts. On reflection a super challenge :) HMM!

Macro Mondays: In the Mirror

Things with Wings

Temperatures have been in the 90’s and will be that way for a while around here, I look outside and the squirrels are sprawled out on my lawn and patio.

Stanley lies in the Roaring Forties, and so weather like this is not unusual when the storms blow in off the Southern Ocean. Here we see the volcanic plug called "The Nut" rising its full 152 metres above the small fishing village. But clearly, as you can see from this photograph, the rain is falling and the wind is howling.

Whimsical Nut hatch is an entertaining songbird known for

walking upside down going up or down a tree. They are

territorial and feed mostly on ants, bugs and nuts.

They have a loud, simple song and large head with short body but very athletic and mostly nest in trees.

EICHHÖRNCHEN

Das Eichhorn flitzt in schnellem Lauf

Die Tanne runter und wieder rauf.

Hat sich ganz schnell 'ne Nuss stibitzt.

Der kleine Kerl ist echt gewitzt.

Springt dabei in großer Hast

Bis zum allerhöchsten Ast.

Da sitzt es nun in Seelenruh'

Mit seiner Nuss und wir schau'n zu.

Happy brave squirrel with a reward.

There’s a betel stand on almost every street corner in Yangon, Myanmar's capital. It usually consists of a tiny table with ingredients laid out and a guy with red drool down his chin preparing the chews. Tiny pieces of the betel nut are set in a leaf, with lime paste, tobacco and who knows what else. The whole mess is then wrapped in the leaf and popped into the mouth. Chewing betel nut can cause a variety of health problems, including oral cancers.

Wires erased and finished in Photoshop. Easy to do, just need a bit of garden and a squirrel of course, it's a bit of fun and something to do during lock down.😉👍

Grey Squirrel making off with a whole walnut, great fun to watch and always amazing to see how they manage to carry such a large nut. They tend to juggle it around until they find the sweet spot for gripping and they're off. Hopefully my composites will improve with practice.

Weathered by the North Sea this nut is part of the sea defences.

After a week of dull, grey days, the sun came out, this morning!

I managed to grab a wee half hour in the garden; lots to do, today. I filled the seed and nut feeders and the wee birdies descended. Lots of them use this this rose bush as a scoping/landing/eating site.

Lovely to see the sunshine in the garden,

Blinking in the morning sun…

…What made me behave that way?

Using words I never say

I can only think it must be love

Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day.”

Looking Close on Friday - Nuts and Bolts

Happy Looking Close on Friday everyone.

Hope this is OK, as it is only 1 nut and 1 bolt :)

Seed is used for decorative work, wood turning. HMM!

I borrowed the 180mm macro and wanted to see what it can do. I grabbed some items in the shop that I thought would look cool with a macro lens capturing the images.

Found this in my Christmas decorations last year, some kind of nut perhaps, with red glitter on it. I don't know exactly what it was or where it came from. I photographed it before I got rid of it. It was the size of a pear roughly.
