Have an 80's classic.
I'm rocking the Stray Dog skin from the current round of TMD - with its clean artwork and shading I found it looks great with or without facial hair. The creator has included a shape so you'll have a new look straight out the box. I added UNLEASH as hairbase and facial hair; his finish is excellent - head on over to Manhood to grab a demo.

This White-throated sparrow, (Zonotrichia albicollis) was perched on a branch from a recently fallen oak tree at the Springfield Conservation Nature Center. Just out of frame in the distance is the US 160 and US 65 interchange.

Shot with a (Tomioka) "Tominon MC 48 mm F 4" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
I just found this shot that my husband took while at Cades Cove and it is completely right out of the camera! I did absolutely nothing other than add the drop frame! He did a fantastic job on this one! It is so sharp and crisp and I can't believe I didn't see this one before! He did great on this one.
Must see large if you have time!
A Forster's Tern makes a dive straight down to the water off of Honeymoon Island. I really appreciate how the start kicking their little feet mid-air in anticipation of plunging deeper after their prey.
The shortest distance between two points is the straight line. This residual knowledge from my school days came to mind when I passed this path last Sunday while taking a walk in the Dresdner Heide near Langebrück.
Although I definitely prefer the narrow and winding paths when it comes to hiking, this sight had enough of an impact on me to take a photo of it.
And as I look at the picture now, I immediately think of a parallel (geometry again) to “real” life.
We often imagine the path that will lead us to our goals somewhat like this picture. Nice and wide, dead straight and always with the goal in sight. That would certainly simplify a lot of things.
But unfortunately the reality looks more like my preferred hiking route. Narrow paths (some of which are hardly used) that lead back and forth and up and down through an unknown landscape and often have the odd junction.
And if an obstacle crosses our path, it is rarely such a baby birch tree that we can comfortably walk under. Of course it has to be a massive pine tree with spiky and sprawling branches lying across the path.
If we realize this later, it often leads to stress, frustration and sometimes even giving up.
Because we can't keep our goal in mind all the time (or maybe we don't even see it until the end), it's vitally important that our idea of it is as clear as possible. Then there is a good chance that we can overcome difficult stretches and end up (at least approximately) where we want to be.
Die kürzeste Strecke zwischen zwei Punkten ist die Gerade. Dieses Restwissen aus meiner Schulzeit kam mir in den Sinn, als ich letzten Sonntag, bei einem Spaziergang in der Dresdner Heide bei Langebrück, an dieser Schneise vorbei gekommen bin.
Obwohl ich in Sachen Wanderweg die schmalen und gewundenen Pfade definitiv bevorzuge, so hat dieser Anblick doch ausreichend Wirkung bei mir hinterlassen um ein Foto davon zu machen.
Und während ich das Bild jetzt betrachte, fällt mir auch gleich eine Parallele (schon wieder Geometrie) zum "richtigen" Leben ein.
Ungefähr so wie auf diesem Bild stellen wir uns oft den Weg vor, der uns zu unseren Zielen führen soll. Schön breit, schnurgeradeaus und immer das Ziel vor Augen. Das würde sicherlich vieles sehr vereinfachen.
Doch leider sieht die Realität eher so aus, wie meine bervorzugte Wanderstrecke. Enge Pfade (teilweise kaum benutzt), die hin und her und auf und ab durch eine unbekannte Landschaft führen und dabei auch gern mal die ein oder andere Abzweigung aufweissen.
Und kreuzt ein Hinterniss unseren Weg, so handelt es sich selten um solch eine Babie-Birke unter der wir bequem hindurch laufen können. Natürlich muss es dann eine massive Kiefer mit stacheligen und weit ausladenden Ästen sein die quer über dem Weg liegt.
Stellen wir dies dann später fest so mündet das oft in Stress, Frustration und bisweilen sogar zur Aufgabe.
Da wir so unser Ziel nicht die ganze Zeit im Auge behalten können (oder es vielleicht sogar bis zum Schluß nicht zu sehen bekommen), ist es so elementar wichtig, dass unsere Vorstellung davon so klar wie irgend möglich ist. Dann ist die Chance groß, dass wir auch schwierige strecken meistern und am Ende (zumindest ungefähr) dort ankommen, wo wir hin wollen.

With this revision, the original northern lights image (www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/30734690201) is considerably enhanced to reduce noise, increase contrast and improve color balance. The original negative was scanned at 7200 dpi without modification. Taken around the year 2000 in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Kodak Professional Ektapress (iso 640) was used back then.
To the eye, red aurora is fainter and deeper red than film captures. At high latitudes (>60N), red color aurora is rarely seen unless there's an aurora storm occurring (Kp >7) based on my years of observing. Reds are more common in mid-latitudes (35N-45N) because it usually takes a high Kp Index for aurora to be see there.
This is a leftover shot for Macro Monday a few weeks ago. These are fabric straight pins pushed randomly through paper.
Still going with the misty tree photos from last Friday, this was my happiest ever photography experience, would have loved to stay longer and can't wait to get out in conditions like this again.
How you may ask, can something be "most natural"?
Well, they say "Nature abhors a straight line." I dare you to find a straight line in this gnarly old oak.

Taken @04:25 looking down Sawley cut towards Ratcliffe power station waiting for the sunrise to appear, which disappeared in the fog that rolled in soon after this shot was snapped. Unusual to see the condensing water vapour going straight up.

I just worked the camera. I have never seen clouds like this before, I stopped work and went out to get photos when I saw it. Several other people around were out doing the same thing. These clouds were amazing, like upside-down, dark snowdrifts. I like this one best, it looks like grass blowing around in the right-hand bottom.
