As I tested slower shutter speeds to see the rain’s effect, an immature White-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) landed and took off from the Joe Pye (Eutrochium purpureum) blooms.
I like to shoot action photos at 1/2000, at least, for clarity, and deal with ISO later if I can. This frame followed the one in the first comment by less than a second, I think.

Since taking the challenge of learning a bit about high key for macro Mondays I think it will be a good idea to learn more about low key as well. I believe this image qualifies as a low key shot. However, it does not count as learning about low key, it was an accident :) The flower was highlighted by the sun and there were deep shadows all around it.
I'm not really sure what I would use low key images for on a regular basis but the high key images will be handy when I have something to sell.
Regardless, I never want to stop learning, even if it is just for the sake of learning.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

I think the square crop works well with the geometry here. I also have a wide version uploaded. Not sure which one I like better. This one highlights the details the Z lens is capable of picking up. Nikon Z5; Z24-120. Katsuura, Fukuoka.

Yes, I think Dr. Seuss Did write this title first. The red paint is peeling off of this shed. Instead of using the color ‘Boudoir Fantasy’ these people should have gone with one of our outdoor colors, such as ‘Abattoir Floor’ or ‘Darker than Robin’s Breast Red.’ They still peel in the sun and rain, but not quite as fast.
This shed has a nice crop of vines for the discerning few who like a lot of coverage on their buildings. There are also some nice power lines. A two-fer for my groups, so what’s not to like. May I enter the red barn competition now, Keith?
I think the most beautiful
thing in the world is watching the light
come on in someone's eyes when they've been
lost in the dark so long...

I think Carolin took this photograph, with her phone. Edits by me, in Lightroom. I mostly used gradient filters to balance the sky and foreground exposure & shadow levels.

And you’re so in love until you forgot,
Find a place where we can be alone
…a place where we can be ourselves…”

The Closest Thing To Crazy by Katie Melua
There you are; so distantly; hidden behind the blossom where lovers meet;
standing so pensively on castle stones trodden smooth
by the endless march of time and soldier's feet.
There you dream so deeply; scented flowers wafting by, in clouds of white,
falling gently to the ground, like angel feathers float down from the skies at night.
I look to you in vain hope you will see how much your story means to me,
but we are parted by nine hundred years and a thousand deep seated memories;
through layered time and misty veils of weathered treasures,
I seek the truth of all that went before and ancient pleasures.
My romantic heart has travelled through the morning haze,
to find you here and follow quietly the direction of your silent gaze.
I wonder if you will ever look my way or brighten up my darkest day.
I trace your steps across the lawn and make my way; to await the dawn.
I'm surer than I've ever been that lost in time; a change of scene,
our love that once traversed the universe was never just a dream.
In my pocket I carry with me the musty yellowed remnants of what you wrote;
imprinted on my mind and soaked by tears I shed and filled with hope.
Is it possible to transcend the sands of time and love at last will find a home
within a heart where sorrow lived so long that love was left no room …

I think if I want to post fall colors like last year's then I will have to post shots from last year. This comes from a very productive trip to Little River Falls with my buds Tony and Wes.
think I'll eat some worms!
Hi There!
Couldn't help but throw in that childhood song!
Here he is, the much aligned brood parasite, the Brown-headed Cowbird (male). That means that the female lays eggs in the nests of other birds and then takes off, leaving the other bird responsible for the raising of the Cowbirds' young. As I see it, Nature has its reasons, no matter how hard for us to understand.
This male was scurrying around like a madman as he searched for food and paid little attention to me. In the right light, the colours of the male are really lovely (IMHO).

Green is Life
Green signifies abundant in nature, growth, renewal, health and environment.
Green is the color of nature and ferlility.
Grass green is the most restful color.
Green symbolizes, self respect and well being.
On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy ...(green-eyed monster),,,,,
Really struggled to think of something original and different for this theme on Crazy Tuesday. I tried a few different ideas but none of them seemed to work, especially not to my satisfaction.
Gave up for a while and decided, mid-afternoon to boil an egg as a snack as feeling a bit peckish and whilst the water was boiling away, the thought struck me that maybe there might be a suitable ‘motion blur’ shot in the pan, not just the egg!
I took some shots and, lo and behold I arrived at some images that might prove suitable, I thought. I chose this one and after a little cropping decided that it was different and in my mind, quite original. The water surface appears smoothed out, adopting an oily look and getting rid of the individual bubbles, small and big. In my mind it looks a bit like transparent lava in the mouth of a volcanic crater! I know, I have a weird brain!
See what you think!
I didn't think I got a decent photo of this darling, but another look at my shots turned up this passable shot ... and I'd hate to be the only one of the FFF+ group that didn't post in solidarity, so a late entry on my part of this gorgeous, but endangered feathered friend.
The beautiful male Blue Rock- Thrush was posing only for me that really made my day! :) Taken from Yehliu Geopark, New Taipei City, Taiwan
"Time, like a petal in the wind
Flows softly by
As old lives are taken
New ones begin
A continual chain
Which lasts throughout eternity
Every life but a minute in time
But each of equal importance."
