Macro Mondays Leaves only Leaves

A few weeks back I picked up two or three leaves from the capital pear trees in our driveway and decided to see what sort of shots I could get using a black cloth as background, a bit of desklamp lighting manipulation and a tweak or two of photo post-processing editing. This is a different shot from one I posted of the same leaf a few weeks ago.

Located only 135 km from Venice, this resort extends along the left bank of Lake Santa Caterina at around 900 metres above sea level.

Surrounded by forests and some of the most beautiful mountain massifs in the Dolomites – it is the only urban centre from which the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are visible.

Only a leaf

Allerheiligen

Nordfriedhof München

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne

I took this photo while visiting Monique in Alberta...it only snowed for a very short time and didn't stay...but so pretty.

Missing Melody, Angel in Heaven maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Angel%20in%20Heaven/63/221/31

For me this is the only criterion for a beautiful photograph :-)

Usually in winter, I photograph birds outside, but the kowhai tree flowering last spring was incredible... and the best view is from inside, where it's elevated and I can photograph straight into the tree. So I spent some time photographing through double glazing! Not my favourite glass... but... the glimpse into birdworld was too strong to resist :-)

Silvereyes are very communal birds, often visiting in small family groups and pairs. Some preening pairs are family, some couples, and some just dating ;-) If one preens too roughly the moment is soon over!

I glimpsed this pair through my lcd quite far back in the tree... I didn't see them at all with my bare eyes. They were there maybe only a minute, but seeing minutes like these makes a lot of happiness :-)

Here's to the world beyond the window...

and to moments of joy 🌼

whether quiet or aloud

my thanks for being here

on the other side of the glass!! :-)

Only in photography, water always goes downhill and finds a level.

Only have a moment

for a conversation,

for a handshake,

for a smile.

Only have a moment

for the other,

for his thoughts

for his fears,

for his joys.

Only one thing to do....catch some flies! A pied fly catcher taking a break looking for the next course!

Coming from the cold

Buried under heat

Lay you on the floor

Heavy like the force between us

Cut me like a rose

Turn me like a beast

Hold me on the floor

Heavy like the force between us

I was a ghost

Halted in flight

Kneeling

There of the heart

God undertow

Feeling

Phnom Penh

Some of the slum areas do not even have single rooms, they are thick and untidy clusters of small roofed walls – ceilings of which are made of scraps of wood, used sacks, metal, or some sort of waste material. You see 10 to 12 people live, eat and sleep under the same roof. The children often play in places where the drains are used as open toilets

Hymenopus coronatus, also called H. bicornis, is a mantis from the rain forests of Southeast Asia. It is known by various common names including walking flower mantis and orchid mantis. This tiny creature is only about the size of my thumbnail!

I only have 2 of these shots left..:) And, with the weather like it is, I may have to wait a while.

I knew the cold was coming so I stayed in town at an AbAb so I wouldn't have to drive in from the hill country. Good thing too. I had to get off the freeway because my defrosters couldn't keep the ice off the windshield. I drive a convertible, so the inside never got really warm either.It got to 21 with a wind chill of 14. My face was burning from the short time I was exposed. I don't see how you cold winter people do it every year.

This here is the only offical path at Porta da Piedade to get down to the water. There are a view very adventurous declines elsewhere along the cliff. For this time I wasn't brave enough to try one of them.

I found that place when I already was on my way back to the car. Because when I arrived in the dark, I didn't know where to go an decides spontaniously for the complete opposite direction. I was almost a little bit annoyed, that I didn't start here. Why, You will see tomorrow.

Dies ist der einzige offizielle Weg am Ponta da Piedade um nach unten ans Wasser zu kommen. Es gibt noch ein paar wenige sehr abenteuerliche Abstiege an anderen Stellen. An diese habe ich mich diesesmal jedoch nicht heran getraut.

Ich habe diese Stelle entdeckt, als ich schon auf dem Rückweg zum Auto war. Denn als ich hier im Dunkeln ankam wusste ich nicht, wo ich hin muss und so habe ich mich spontan für die komplett entgegengesetzte Richtung entschieden. Ich hab mich fast ein wenig geärgert, dass ich nicht hier begonnen habe. Warum, das seht Ihr morgen.

more of this on my website at: www.shoot-to-catch.de

Phaethornis eurynome - Only large hermit hummingbird in its range with black feathers on the throat giving it a scaled appearance. The bill is slightly curved. The back is olive-green and it has a strong mask. The tail is long and white-tipped. Similar to Dusky-throated Hermit, but Scale-throated Hermit is bigger with a longer tail. Found in the understory of humid and montane forests.

Happy Tuesday!
