Psalm 58:8: “Let them (wicked rulers: David is probably speaking about King Saul and his cohorts) be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!”
I hike and photograph in Aman Park about once every two weeks. It is a wonderful area for photographers and it is only a few minutes from my home. In an effort to alter my usual routine of two cameras with wide-angle zoom lenses, I connected my 90 mm macro lens to one of them and focused on little things. I was surprised at the number of opportunities I found for some quality macro images.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #chain
Happy Macro Monday!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!
A colourful Heron that is easily distinguishable from the others due to its slender body and darker colour. A very shy bird, it favours densely vegetated habitats like reed beds where it hunts for a range of prey including fish, rodents, frogs and insects, either stalking them or standing waiting in ambush.
Nomad seems to have lost the helicopter when he made his way into the sewer system that was below a nearby overpass. It’s time to go. A lead has led him to another city anyway. It’s been a little over a year since he’s seen her, since they took her, since they got away with it. “I’ve got to follow the clues, expose them,” he mumbles.
He tilts his head downward and to the left, looking behind him without turning his head. He counts six on the left, 3 on the right. They’re closing in. Not to cause a scene he starts to ditch in and out of the alleyways. Making his escape slowly and quietly. He notices after some slick maneuvering that he only sees about 3 people in viewing range, though others could be around still. I’m sure they have an communications system in their ear, they all do.
Nomad walks in through the front of a burger-joint and walks out the back door. Two men in the back of the restaurant approach him, one with a gun. He quickly with two quick hand movements removes the weapon from the man on the right and pistol whips the man on the left with it knocking him out. Still holding the hand of the man on the right he pulls him into him as he kicks the man’s shin breaking a bone and sending him to the ground. Another swift kick to the head and both men are unconscious. Nomad walks off briskly looking from side to side. He places the gun in the back of pants expecting the elastic to keep it from falling.
He walks down a backstreet on the side of a pizzeria. Out from behind the building come an agent. Taller than Nomad, more muscular than him as well. He takes a swing at Nomad, Nomad is too quick for him as he bobs and weaves away from his opponent. One swing, one flush connect from Nomad’s left uppercut and the big man goes down, hitting his head on the concrete steps behind him. Blood starts to ooze out the back of the man’s head. “Ha I’m one punch man,” Nomad jokes as he takes off slipping into the night. He doesn’t get captured; he escapes easily.
Nomad starts his journey to the next city. “That was close. Need to end this!”
Blondie brought her kids around last night for the first time. She has five of them. Now we know why she was always resting when she got here. Five kids will definitely tucker you out. This one was very adventurous. Mom had to come to the rescue a few times. This one walked right up to another adult and did not heed the growls it was getting as a warning so it got swatted in the face. Blondie came running to the little ones rescue and flattened the other adult and that basically was the end of that. Hopefully lesson learned by all.
With the Sun on them, these little fruits glow a translucent orange-red. Birds love them! (Not for people or dogs.). They are a different species of Honeysuckle from another Honeysuckle plant I have which produces berries earlier in the year. I posted a photo of its berries in June. This one is a vine with tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds. The other is a bush with distinctive woody branches.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
A colorful medium sized raptor found pretty much across the country - though in varying frequency. In Goa and Karnataka, I sighted 1000's literally. The sky was full of them everywhere within 4-5 kms of a water body - and there were water bodies everywhere.
This is a male based on the colorful plumage and it was sitting atop this coconut tree and preening itself. This was shot in some mudflats and there were 1000's of waders. The bird would dive and scare the birds making the large flock of waders move up and around several times. I suppose it was tiring them out before making a capture.
Interestingly, on the tree behind the bird were two rare White Bellied Sea Eagles - think there was a nest there. That large eagle was a lifer for me, but couldn't manage anything more than a record shot.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
The Skies Of October..,
In mid October early in the morning Karen and I made our way to White Spruce park to get some fabulous fall shots.
the clouds were spectacular that day, the winds were blowing them around like dust in the wind. this shot of the clouds over the white spruce side of the park shows a small white cloud all balled up; which looks like a cloud blowing the rest of them

There were 3-4 of them on the banks of the lake. The lake which is normally shallow had lot of water due to the significant rains we are having here. And due to that there are only a few waders.
But the excessive water also resulted in lot of fish and the fisherman were active quite a bit. The oil from their boats and other wastage settled on the edges of the banks creating the blue background seen in the picture.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
Always great to find them in any conditions and today they were terrible !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
I splurged and bought these carnations for still life - they last so long and there are so many ways to style them ;D
The Umbrellas by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Mid 19th Century Paris was so elegant, I doubt Renoir would have been so inspired in early 21st Century London

A lot of them, but they can be quite entertaining
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe!
Can you see them
The ones to the right
Sigh
There is Love everywhere
You just need to be a bit observant
Crawl a bit on the ground
Ignore the wet grass
And not to mention the mud
It's always wet and sticky
Not to be embarrased if someone sees you
Just lay still and pretend this is the most normal thing to do
Happy shooting
Getting a thrill
Holding hands is a way to spread love
You will feel supported
Safe
Loved
And you will spread this love to those who sees you
You will soften their heart
Letting them get another focus in a few seconds
Giving them a memory they will cherish without them even knowing they do that
Mother Nature is sprading love in many ways
I've seen her holding hands often
That's why I love hiking in my forest
Breathing in Mother Natures love
That is actually what I'm doing when I'm out hiking
So, the secret is out
lol
Happy Smile On Saturday, you guys

Our Quaker parrots sure did love peas, pods & all. For those that don't know Rio unfortunately escaped out of the aviary & Ginny was pining so we found a new home for her with another mate. Lots more pics of both of them in my "Furry & Feathered Friends" album.
Uploading for Smile on Saturday group 😃 The theme today is "Green Animals". Have a great weekend everyone!
The Shock of the New
This is the continuing series of images entitled ‘Shock of the New’. I’m showing how Modern Architecture has embedded itself with the more Traditional Architectural styles. Some successful, some in my view not so. But we’re all different. You may like them. What It does tell you however, is that progress cannot be stopped. There are forces greater than you out there.
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!

No life would be possible for them and us without water ...
so us humans must learn to use it more responsibly!
"The climate crisis is a water crisis. To tackle the climate crisis, we must understand how it is intrinsically linked to changes in the water cycle. We need to prepare ourselves for a future with more severe droughts and floods, with more unpredictable rainfall patterns and dramatically rising sea levels. Our best chance is to focus on smart, water-related solutions that build resilient societies and ecosystems whilst cutting greenhouse gas emissions and improving carbon storage. This is the next generation of climate solutions."

Do you remember the Mendelian laws of inheritance? We've learned them in school on the basis of how the eye colours of fruit flies (the notorious Drosophila Melanogaster) are inherited to further generations according to dominant or recessive characteristics, although Gregor Mendel himself conducted his groundbreaking genetic experiments with pea plants. Unfortunately, the significance of Mendel's laws was never truly understood or acknowledged in his lifetime (1822 – 1884). His studies, however, were rediscovered three decades later, at the turn of the 20th century, and, following their rediscovery, American biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866 – 1945) began to experiment with Drosophila in his "Fly Room" at Columbia University. It was Morgan who discovered that genes are carried on chromosomes; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1933. Further Fly experiments (with a less successful outcome) were conducted by a certain Dr. Seth Brundle in 1986 (aka "The Fly"). So where exactly does my image come in here, you may have already asked yourself (if you haven't stopped reading my lengthy introduction long before – which I could totally understand). Well, during one of those numerous teaching experiments with fruit flies, which numerous generations of students have conducted ever since modern genetics became part of school curriculums, something must have gone very wrong. And who knows, maybe Dr. Seth "Brundlefly" Brundle himself had led one of those biology experiments? Experiments in which some dinosaur genes were mixed with those of an innocent fruit fly... Which resulted in the creation the biggest Drosophila the world has ever seen – the Olympic Brachosophila Megalogaster? Nonsense, of course, and you know it ;-) But doesn't this kaleidoscoped image of the Olympic stadium's interior (the roof, mostly, taken at a dutch angle) look just like an ultra close-up of a (fruit) fly's face? Not one that you'd like to see buzzing around your fruit bowl, that's for sure, but let's say that the other "third party genes" that were used in this crazy experiment came from a puppy. So this would be the friendliest, cuddliest giant dinosaur puppy fruit fly you'll ever come across :) OK, I'd rather stop before you start to believe that I was a part of those experiments as well ;-)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and take care, dear Flickr friends!
Drosophila Megalogaster – Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines :)
Ihr erinnert Euch doch bestimmt noch alle an die Mendelsche Vererbungslehre und die berühmte Drosophila Melanogaster mit ihren dominanten bzw. rezessiven Genen, die über die Vererbung der jeweiligen Augenfarbe entscheiden. Was wäre, wenn jemand bei einem der unzähligen Biologie-Experimente, die Generationen von Schülern mit Fruchtfliegen durchgeführt haben, nicht nur Fruchtfliegen(-Gene) gekreuzt, sondern evtl. noch ein paar Dinosaurier-Gene dazwischen gestreut hätte? Das Ergebnis könnte die größte Fruchtfliege sein, die die Welt je gesehen hat, die unglaubliche "Olympische Brachosophila Megalogaster" mit Augen so groß wie zwei Stadiondächer ;-) Nun ja, Ihr habt es schon erraten, dies ist eine kleine Spielerei mit einem Foto vom Olympiastadion für den Sliders Sunday. Ich hatte hier einfach aus Spaß mal eine Aufnahme mit schräger Perspektive gemacht und dabei überwiegend das offene Dach mit ins Bild genommen. Nachdem ich in Photoshop das Bild kopiert, gespiegelt und neu zusammengesetzt hatte, schaute mich plötzlich eine riesige (Frucht-)Fliege an ;-) Keine, die man gerne daheim um den Früchteteller herumschwirren sehen möchte, aber ich kann Euch beruhigen: Bei dem manipulierten Experiment kamen als "Drittanbieter-Gene" nicht nur die eines Dinosauriers hinzu, sondern auch die eines kuscheligen Welpen. Diese Fliege ist also gaaaanz lieb und verschmust und will bloß spielen ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund und passt auf Euch auf!

The last few pictures I've done have been more modern than I generally do and as much fun as they were, I missed having that fantasy element in them. So here we go - getting back to the stories and characters of tales! (or at least that's the idea ;) )
Very light editing. I'd say this image is 98% straight from SL. ^^

Yesterday I'm gone in the field and I found in a pond a lot of tadpoles and I thought to take some to breed them and when they become a toads, I will lead them home to leave free!
Obviously, I've taken the opportunity to try some underwater shots with my MP-E... This is my first attempt to this technique.
Handheld stack (16shots) taken with 6D, MP-E, at about 2,5X, flash MK320 over the aquarium.
I think it possible to do it better but for now I hope you like it and I thank you for your visits, faves and comments that are always very appreciated!
Steps so sweet that time slips away. What we have now is different from yesterday. What grows to fester and boil within, only to drip slowly down into sin.
Aye my love, forever and ever, but to what cost... Selfish fool...
