It happens sometimes, that I don't see in the drawings of the sequence of the folding steps, what a designer means. It took me a while before I saw that this Hippopotamus had his mouth width open ;-)

Star Finches are found in Northern Australia, and the Toledo Zoo Aviary. The are considered "threatened" because of habitat loss, and the "cage bird trade." They are a common bird in aviaries though!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is star.
Whenever you see a shooting star, sailing on the sky, dont hesitate ! Make a wish very quickly !! Of course, if you can catch the star it is even better: you will have endless wishes for as long as you keep your shooting star safe… Those shooting stars are very, very rare and fast so you will be extremely lucky if you catch one… But wouldn’t that be awesome to have your own shooting star ? Keep your eyes on the sky my friends !
FYI : my star is about 1,5cm wide.
While you think about the possibility of owning your own star, I have to grab a coffee just before my video meeting !! See you soon my friends !
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
A Star dedicated to Hans Holt.

Anhänger an meinem Bettelarmband. 1,5 x 1,5 cm
Im Sternbild Großer Bär befindet sich der Stern Dubhe, der nach Eisbär Knuts Tod von seinen und meinen Freunden auf seinen Namen getauft wurde.
"Bei einer privaten Sterntaufe wird ein durch eine Katalognummer bezeichneter Stern mit einem selbstgewählten Namen benannt. Alle Sterne werden in der Wissenschaft mit Katalognummern bezeichnet, um eine einfache Identifikation zu ermöglichen."
Seitdem habe ich den blauen Stern an meinem Bettelarmband und natürlich auch einen Eisbären ;-)
Der Name Dubhe stammt von dem arabischen Wort دب / dubb /‚Bär'

Pendant on my begging bracelet. 1.5 x 1.5 cm
In the constellation Great Bear is the star Dubhe, which was baptized after the polar bear Knut's death by his and my friends in his name.
"In a private star baptism, a star designated by a catalog number is named with a self-chosen name. All stars are designated in science with catalog numbers to allow for easy identification."
Since then I have the blue star on my begging bracelet and of course a polar bear ;-)
The name Dubhe comes from the Arabic word دب / dubb /'bear'
Morning Glory flower up close, taken late morning in Port Elliot during our road trip to South Australia.
I like this optical illusion, the tubular section of the flower appears more like a solid round object rather than a hollow tube.

The adult males are difficult to find. During the migration they are the first to leave on their road South. I felt fortunate to catch this one zipping around the backyard the last of August.
Star3…. The Macro Monday’s theme for 10/4 is star. This is the central cut out star in a metal star ornament. This cut-out is one and three quarters inches across. The background color/bokeh is a tie dyed t- shirt.
Love love love the context shot which is next in the photostream and I’ll put it in the first comment box in a couple of minutes.
Nachdem der Star sich ausgiebig geputzt hatte, erfolgte ein kräftiges Schütteln, dass diese wunderbare Frisur zum Vorschein brachte.Euch allen einen schönen Sonntag.
A single star is watching my steps by going upstairs.

My latest and so far most successful attempt at star trails. This time rather than simply taking a single long exposure I took a number of shots over 30 mins and combined them in Photoshop resulting in a lot less noise and many more visible trails. I need to experiment further.
Taken at Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, Australia.
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for all the kind comments and faves.

“As babies we’re born blank sheets of paper. Not a single mark. As we grow older, lines form, then colors and patterns. Before long that paper is all sorts of brilliant. Like a kaleidoscope, no two exactly alike.” Shannon Wiersbitzky.

Well since some of you asked this is on my Mac computer while listening to my iTunes I put the visual effects and constantly changing images created on a screen not one is alike, It depends on the songs style of music, I love when I play classical music and put it on while commenting on your great captures.
