Peripherally flitting by,
I caught a glimpse of something bright,
a shimmer like the stars at night,
a dancing, daring damselfly.
She swooped above me in an arc,
and came to rest right on my shoulder;
what a vision, to behold her
eyes so large and dark.
She was there to speak in whisper-
She lingered with me sping and summer,
while I tried hard to become her
friend; she left. And now I miss her.

Bujaruelo, Sobrarbe, Aragón, España.
El valle de Bujaruelo es un valle del Pirineo aragonés, en la provincia de Huesca (España) lindante con el Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, justo al noroeste del valle de Ordesa, y donde nace el río Ara, del que forma parte como zona periférica de protección. A pesar de su extraordinario valor natural y de los varios intentos llevados a cabo, intereses urbanísticos, turísticos y ganaderos han evitado su incorporación al mencionado Parque aún a pesar de ser limítrofe con él. Sin embargo sí que forma parte del lugar de importancia comunitaria Bujaruelo - Garganta de Los Navarros.
The Bujaruelo Valley is a valley in the Aragonese Pyrenees, in the province of Huesca (Spain) bordering the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, just to the northwest of the Ordesa Valley, and where the Ara river is born, of which it forms part as peripheral protection zone. Despite its extraordinary natural value and the various attempts carried out, urban, tourist and livestock interests have avoided its incorporation into the aforementioned Park even despite being bordering it. However, it is part of the place of community importance Bujaruelo - Garganta de Los Navarros.

The snout of this creature looks really fluffy ... but is it ultimately rather scratchy, crispy, hard? Like a beard? In any case, it was buried in the snow for a long time – as I could see – and so I couldn't help but pick a few stalks and serve them :-) We didn't get much closer then.

Die Schnute dieser Kreatur sieht ja ganz flauschig aus ... aber ist sie vielleicht letztendlich eher kratzig, knusprig, hart? So wie ein Bart? Jedenfalls wurde sie lange im Schnee vergraben – wie ich beobachten konnte – und so konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe ein paar Halme gepflückt und sie kredenzt :-) Viel näher sind wir uns dann doch nicht gekommen.

Series »Winter's Bone«
I haven't done a guessing game for a long time, so here goes. I was trying to shoot this "thing" and couldn't get the focus I wanted, so I thought I'd embrace the blur. The colours should tell you something, but I'm betting no one will guess what it is. I had to say that :) Any ideas?
Here's the reveal.... I hope it's not too confusing, as it's not something most of us see every day. It's a ribbon cable, used for electronics. It has tiny pins on each end and many parallel wires (in the rainbow colours) in the same flat plane. When I see all the little electronic doodads on my hubby's desk, I have to photograph them :)
Shot with macro lens and 32mm extension tube.
Can view large for texture.

Woke up before dawn and this unexpected scene came into my sleepy peripheral. Realizing it is going to fade away soon, I scrambled for my camera and had this captured after several failed attempts.
The series is inspired by the mysterious movements and presences seen in one's peripheral vision sometimes.
Can view large if you like texture.
Made with captures from a bike shop and and my heater,and of light and shadows through a wire mesh.
He tries not to move for fear of being seen or caught. He turns his ears to the rear to pick up any sound and the eyes bulge to have better peripheral vision. I shoot....but always only with my camera. We safely go our separate ways.
