Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.
My small flask that holds ashes, what ashes, not sure, but since it is dust to dust and ashes to ashes, when things seem out of place or crazier than normal I touch the flask or at times sprinkle some to get the perspective of it really isn't that bad. Always visible in the corner of the pin board, just an ever reminder to make the most of this day.

The Helsingør Pigegarde - Elsinore Girls Marching Band (Denmark) performed at the Rose Parade in Pasadena on New Year's Day and gave a special performance for MonteCedro the next day. Less than a week later, Altadena was devastated by the Eaton Fire. I am leaving a few links to their performances and their pictures here at MC are in my portfolio. They gave is these cute pins to remember them.

Here's one of those exotics native to Africa but established in SoCal. Not my best image, but it's this month's. Doesn't really show off how LONG that tail really is. It's actually a very small bird, much smaller than a House Sparrow. This one still wears the flashy breeding colors and sports the long tail. When they're in top form, the male does an air dance in front of a perched female that is just delightful. BTW, location San Dimas not San Jose CA.
Some places make you feel small, in the best way possible. Gumiao River Grand Canyon (or Guniao Canyon) isn't just another scenic spot in Hunan—it's like wandering into a world carved out by giants and left untouched for us to stumble upon.
The river winds like a silk ribbon between sheer cliffs, so close you’d think they’re whispering secrets to each other. Greenery spills over edges, water carves its own quiet path, and if you sit long enough, the sound of the world simplifies itself: water, wind, echoes.
We didn’t rush. We couldn’t. Even photos don’t quite pin it down—something between the scale and the silence refuses to be captured. But we tried.

Есть места, где чувствуешь себя маленьким, но в самом лучшем смысле этого слова. Каньон реки Гумяо (или Гуньяо) в Хунани — это не просто ещё одно красивое место, это словно мир, вырезанный гигантами и оставленный нам на удивление.
Река петляет, как шёлковая лента, между отвесными скалами, такими близкими, будто они шепчут друг другу секреты. Зелень стекает по краям, вода спокойно прокладывает свой путь, и если задержаться здесь подольше, звуки мира упрощаются: вода, ветер, эхо.
Мы не спешили. Не могли. Фотографии не могут передать это чувство — что-то между масштабом и тишиной ускользает из кадра. Но мы попытались.

This male pin-tailed whydah was quite a special sight when visiting Huntington Beach library park this summer. Usually found in Africa he is most probably an escape bird from a park. But as there were also females around, they might have establish a population already. Huntington Beach, CA
This weeks theme for Macro Mondays is Stripes.
I didn't have any pinstripes, so I had to settle for pinned stripes instead.
Best viewed large.
