Macro Mondays - Leaves
This was a tougher one for me this week as I work a continental now and when getting home, most of the really good light is gone or subdued.
So I had to create something a bit different.
Happy Macro Mondays
Medium-sized shorebird with bright yellow legs. Plumage is essentially identical to Greater Yellowlegs: gray upperparts with white speckling, streaky neck, and white belly. Proportions are most important for identification. Lesser is smaller overall with shorter, narrower, straighter bill, shorter neck, more rounded head, and smaller chest. Forages actively on mudflats and in shallow pools and marshes, often in loose mixed flocks with Greater Yellowlegs. Somewhat more likely to be found in smaller, marshier habitats than Greater, but much overlap. Listen for soft, whistled “tew” calls, typically only one or two notes, unlike the stronger series of notes from Greater. (eBird)

The species is known locally as "maria-cavaleira-de-rabo-enferrujado".
The genus Myiarchus has 22 species of birds in the family Tyrannidae. Most of them are very similar looking and are dificult to identify when their ranges overlap. In this case it's much easier to separate by voice than plumage.
Birds in the genus are fairly large compared to others tyrant-flycatchers, at 16–23 cm (6.3–9 in) long. They are essentially partially crested with a brown to gray back and head, a rufous to blackish tail and yellow to pale belly.

All my insect pics are single, handheld macro shots of live insects in wild situations.
Autumn gets a rude awakening as winter's snow descends before the leaves are even done falling from the trees. Thankfully, my snow shovelling guy is still in business!
This link to my blog has nothing to do with this image:
Just some free add space.
It's an All-Flickr blog focusing on superior images I've run across, with minimal commentary to interfere with your viewing pleasure.
Drop on by.
I suppose I should have called this simply "Curtains" but the thing that I actually like about it are how each bit of it overlaps another.

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.
