I did manage one decent springtail shot today, despite the wind a rain. This Sminthurinus aureus was on the underside of a damp leaf. I do love it when they get reflected like this. This one's got a bit of a fairground "Hall of Mirrors" look to it though!

Canon 5D3 + MP-E 65mm (at 5x) + 1.4x Extender + 36mm extension tube + MT24-EX Flash. Magnification 8x. Springtail ~0.6mm. Cropped a bit.

My next building is getting an indoor water feature with lights. There's not a ton of room to work with. The floor of this room is only 4 bricks off the water level outside, so it starts as low as I can go.

I'm in the middle of selling my home of 30 years, and the process of cleaning/clearing/decluttering and prepping for sale has been a giant undertaking (I had no idea!). So, with the listing going live this morning, I high-tailed it out of town for a few days while complete strangers invade my turf. Stopped at the overlook for Mono Lake as the sky helped me celebrate.

Happily sat here reflecting on the joys of dressing as and looking like a woman. This can feel so right at times and so natural, in fact I am having trouble right now to think of anything else I do that creates such pleasure and contentment.

Week Thirty-Nine ~ Reflected Sky

Our lyrical prompt for Week 39 of The Photographer Within's P52 was from Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra and the lyrics we had to shoot were: "Fly me to the moon." The 121st Annual Comal County Fair was this weekend, and it’s such a big local event that the schools close down on Friday, calling it “Fair Day,” and students get in for free until 6 p.m. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the fair, especially after Dominic won a goldfish and Anna won a parakeet playing midway games! Finn the goldfish is now living in a new 5-gallon tank on Dominic’s dresser. Sky the budgerigar is happily chirping in his new birdcage and goes wherever Anna goes. Anna is completely enchanted with Sky. She spent all day on Sunday talking to him and playing him music videos (he especially likes Katy Perry). I think the kids are ready for the responsibility of our new additions to the family. What a great weekend!

(I owned budgies growing up, so I know what's involved in caring for them.)

Our trip to Kentucky was personally very wonderful for me, but way too much for Hadley. I had hopes we would be able to travel during the 19 days between medical treatments, but it doesn’t appear that is a doable idea. Bummed tonight. And still have 3 more hours of driving tomorrow. 77/365

This shot was taken from within a hide. By looking at the logbook where people have recorded wildfowl they have seen, early morning or late afternoon is the best time.
