Light coming from the outside plus an LED light from the inside; shot with the 7Artisans manual lens at F1.2 and as close as I could get (about 35cm).
I couldn't think of anything to draw.I should be ashamed of myself of course cause there's plenty to draw.Here are a few examples:-)
Here's a female Hooded Merganser with HER crayfish. You can see the object here is to break those legs off for easier swallowing. Her hood is a bit flat here but when fully fluffed, she's a knockout. The first sign I get for female vs immature/nonbreeding male is the yellowy color in her beak, while the male's is solid black. Second is the deep brown eye, vs. the male's golden eye.
The first time I eventually realized when I was looking at a nonbreeding male, he was with some breeders and seemed to be practicing his moves and I thought it was a misguided female. Only later did I get it.
“A donkey going round and round in a mill cannot step out of the circle to which it is tethered. . . . With its inner eyes blinded, it cannot perceive the holiness or the radiant light of Jesus.”23 Centuries later, St. John of the Cross offers a similar observation, “The soul that journeys to God, but does not shake off its cares and quiet its appetites [grasping, clinging desire], is like one who drags a cart uphill.”24 Fascinated by our own contemplative realization, we remain tethered, moving constantly but going nowhere. But when the flower of awareness opens, we are relieved of the burden of ourselves as objects of our spiritual programs.

For the Crazy Tuesday challenge: "One single object"
My favourite and quite iconic sunspecs. The Porsche Carrera 5620, made famous by Yoko Ono.
The theme for today mentioned "One Object – One Story" and I chose these for the story that they tell in my life 😊
I've always needed to wear sunspecs or I squint and my eyes water! But before the "swinging sixties" they drew unwelcome attention in my part of the UK! Comments in the street … I was considered "uppity" and pretentious. But with the pop groups and the films of the 60's they gradually became accepted …. and I could wear them in peace. And then they began to appear in wonderful shapes and colours too!
Looking back it seems like another world … but I still treasure my remaining pairs of 'designer' specs, and Yoko's in particular!

I found this withered anemone branch last year while cleaning up the garden and thought it made a good subject for stacking. At that time I was very busy trying out different approaches to stacking. I have now arrived at a method that gives me the best results. This was one of my first pictures with it.

I can't get enough of this book!
We all have confessions of being a Sloarder! We listen and we don't judge!!!!
- Some of us forget what we have in our inventories and try to repurchase the same item, but we forget that we own it and didn't unpack it.
- Some of us get overwhelmed by the number of elements in our inventories.
- Some of us lag inworld due to the number of items in our objects folder.
Please share your thoughts on being a Sloarder in Sloarders and partner with a cleaning buddy. Starting in March, Sloarders is going to have a big inventory cleaning challenge so find your buddy today and read up on tools, tips, and tricks.
Withered and dried rose flower. I found them after the winter on the terrace and could once again shine their former beauty.

I've finally moved to Japan and have ended my nearly three month "cameraless photography" experiment, and am reunited with the cameras I had left in Japan this summer. I'm not sure yet how that experiment will affect what I produce going forward. Significantly, near the very end of my hiatus I experienced a medical event that has affected my vision. The doctors said it's a common, age-related condition (posterior vitreous detachment) but it was nonetheless scary, and underscored for me how precious a thing it is to be able to see at all, let alone to be able to take and make pictures. Because of that, and the long break, I seem to be noticing beauty in very ordinary things. On that note, I return to Flickr with a series of objects from my home, cluttered as most Japanese homes are with generations of memorobilia with no apparent organization. It used to irritate me, but now I'm seeing something in it....
I do hope your Christmas is wonderful.... lots of time with family and friends, and maybe just a little too much egg nog....
(If you don't celebrate Christmas, I'd still recommend the nog)
thanks to Gavin Hoey for the snow!

Still extremely busy with settling in and its problems so I was glad to see I hadn't used this image before. I want to get back to shooting and get back to normalcy soon. Flicker is my escape!
The Gernheim glassworks
is a location of the LWL industrial museum in Petershagen-Ovenstädt in North Rhine-Westphalia. The museum is located in the historic buildings of the former glassworks, which produced glass as an early industrial factory from 1812 to 1877. With three glass melting furnaces, it was temporarily one of the most important factories in north-west Germany. After the derelict facilities were taken over by the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Council in 1983 and restored, they were opened as a museum on November 7, 1998.
