I love the milkweeds. I find them fascinating at every stage of their growth. It was very windy when i took this shot and I was able to lighten the image enough to catch the fibers blowing in the wind.

A wearable rainbow in the form of a crocheted rope bracelet, made by a friend of my mother's (magrit k.). I also have a necklace to accompany the bracelet but with a diameter of 1 cm/ 0,39 inches (just like the bracelet) it is a little too thick for my personal (neck) comfort.
I've watched a few tutorials on YouTube to understand how this type of bracelet (or necklace) is made, and I should admit that my head was spinning after watching just a few minutes. Crocheting, braiding, or even knitting have never been my favourite DIY pastimes, I'm simply not good at all at this repetitive type of craft. And this style of bead crocheting seems to be super complicated and finicky because the very tiny seed beads (rocailles) are the required main "ingredient". So it definitely was a lot easier (and faster) to photograph the bracelet than to make it ;)
This is a single shot of the bracelet which I'd placed in front of my go-to black foam sheet. The bracelet has a magnetic clasp which I've opened before so I had a single bracelet layer only. I've taken another photo for which I've used the necklace that I had arranged in several layers but that was a little bit too much of a "rainbow colour explosion", plus I also prefer the slightly weird-looking "space worm" shape of the single layer bracelet with the black negative space around. Shot wide open at F/2.8 to get a super tight focus and some nice, bubbly "ball pit" bokeh :)
HMM, Everyone!
Nine Million Bicyles_Katie Melua
There are nine-million bicycles in Beijing.
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny,
Like the fact that I will love you 'til I die.
We are twelve-billion light years from the edge.
That's a guess,
No one can ever say it's true,
But I know that I will always be with you.

A Nine-spot Ladybird, still to be identified, seen at Agaete on the north west coast of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands.
There are about 5,000 different species of ladybirds in the world. These much loved critters are also known as lady beetles or ladybugs, and in many cultures they’re considered good luck.
I really appreciate any Views, Faves and Comments and I will try to visit your sites in due course. Thank you so much.

Cats are supposed to have nine lives. But what If 6 Was 9...
Some of you may remember this black Schleich cat, because it already starred in the "Superstition" theme back in May. So maybe it's about time to give it a name ;-) For this theme I had an early idea to create the nine from negative space. Luckily I tried out an early setup on Friday night, and I soon realised that the way I had imagined it it would never work within the 7,5 cm / 3 inches frame. Time for plan B. For this, I first printed several "9"s in different sizes and different fonts, and then checked out which would work best as a shadow number. Then I tested different positions of the cat, the lamp / light, and the "paper 9", and angles of view. An angle slightly from above worked best. Taken handheld. Processed entirely in Luminar 3 where I applied the "Accent AI" filter (at 21), enhanced the details (small, medium and large), applied the matte filter (cat only), and burned the shadows (the 9 at 100 %). The part of the kitty you see in the frame is just slightly under 4 cm; cropped the frame accordingly (to the above-mentioned 7 cm).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone! I'm very busy today, so won't be able to spend too much time on Flickr; I'll catch up with you toníght. Have a pleasant week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
Neun Leben ...
... haben Katzen ja angeblich. Einige von Euch werden sich vielleicht an diese schwarze Schleich-Mieze erinnern, denn sie war bereits die Hauptdarstellerin beim Foto für das Thema "Superstition" Ende Mai. Vielleicht sollte ich langsam mal darüber nachdenken, ihr einen Namen zu geben ;-) Eigentlich wollte ich ja die neun als Negativraum darstellen. Zum Glück habe ich den Aufbau für jene Idee aber schon Freitagabend ausprobiert und schnell festgestellt, dass meine Idee im Rahmen der MM-Grenzen nicht funktionieren würde. Zeit für Plan B. Hier habe ich zunächst ein paar Neunen in verschiedenen Schriftypen und -größen ausgedruckt, ausgeschnitten und dann ausprobiert, welche sich am besten als Schattenzahl machen würde. Danach habe ich dann mit dem Licht, dem Schattenwurf, der Position der Katze und dem Blickwinkel experimentiert. Ein Blick leicht von oben funktionierte dabei am besten. Dann habe ich noch das Bild so beschnitten, dass auch alles brav ins MM-Schema passt (die Katze ist hier mit knapp 4 cm im Bild, sodass ich hier auf ca. 7 cm Bildbreite komme).
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Herbstwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Todays Tropical Cyclone Dovi project was this little image - a simple idea but harder to construct than I first thought, but overall I got the look I had in my mind somewhere!

Priscilla showed up in our backyard thirteen years ago. She gave birth to six kittens in our garage. She was a wonderful mom. We helped care for and found homes for all her kittens. And we got her spayed. However we had several cats and could not take her in. She continued to live in our yard. We did give her food and a small shelter. She was a tough little cat who lived through many very cold winters. In 2020 after we had lost our indoor cats we took her in. She got to at least live the last few years of her life in a warm safe house. Rest in peace my little feral angel, I will miss you <3
Cattails sway about madly as extreme winds blow in behind a late autumn cold front. I love experiencing rapid weather changes brought on by storms. There's a feeling of disarray, both in the landscape and sky, as air masses collide. Vast amounts of energy are released in the process, an abundant source of creative motivation just waiting to be tapped.
Out in this open meadow, the gusty wind was whipping everything around me into a continuous blur. Very difficult to focus the eye on any one thing when everything is in motion. Photography truly becomes more of a shoot by feel process rather than one of looking through viewfinder. As is often the case, I'm responding more to how the scene makes me feel rather than how it actually looks.
The cattails delineate an impassable boundary for me. Stems from an irrational fear of snakes. Even as a child, I equated cattails with marshes and wetlands and a high probability of harboring snakes. Even with snakes in hibernation in this freezing cold air, the tangle of overgrowth and the certainty of sinking into mud in the still soft earth was more than enough to deter me. Still I lingered on the verge; the scene almost comically bleak, the sky a dark shade or murder gray.
