... before you sacrifice that pawn!
For the Saturday challenge: "tabletop game components"
I've only got a few of these crystal glass chess pieces. They glitter in the sunshine, acting like prisms. Sadly I had no sun when I was shooting this time ....
HCC and HSoS ;o)

I think you're a poem
and everyone before you
has been a story,
you move in different
languages.
what's the word for,
your very heartbeat
has a thousand bluebirds
lined up at the window
in anticipation.

Spot the two birds :)
For a change, this is a new (outside!) photo, taken just a few days ago at the wonderful Britzer Garten, one of Berlin's biggest and most beautiful public parks (please check my album for more "Britz bliss", if you like).
For better dynamic range, I've used exposure bracketing (three images), pre-processed the images in DXO PhotoLab (sharpness and DeepPrime denoising only), from which I directly went into HDR Efex Pro to combine the images. I'm trying to get away from the annual Adobe subscription, and combining images from an exposure bracketing series in HDR Efex instead of Lightroom is one step into that direction. Unfortunately, whenever I think I can finally leave Adobe behind for good they come up with improvements such as the new "supersize" function (now also available in LR), a ton of new presets for LR, and other interesting stuff (and I'm still used to the LR/PS workflow, and the layers in PS). Well, maybe I'll be ready next year ;)
Extra sliding was done in Color Efex, where I added some "Brilliance and Warmth" and a tiny bit of "Contrast Color Range".
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and have a nice week ahead!
You would never guess that these 2 were trying to solve the worlds problems. Or maybe they are just watching the sunset together and enjoying that last ray of light.... Ok maybe Bodhi's mom is standing there with a couple of treats.
I don't think that i have ever had more birds in the garden than this year, mainly great tits, sparrows and blackbirds. The blackbirds have been rare for years and I'm happy that they are back, Tofu is even more excited than I am and spends hours watching them. They often land on the lawn to look for insects and worms and could be an easy prey for a cat. Luckily Tofu enjoys observing birds much more than chasing them.
I don't think anyone goes hungry on Bolivar Flats although some fare better than others in the process. On the poorer side in this case is a small crab, snatched by a Willet from a shallow tidal pool at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.

Northern Red-shafted Flicker. View Large On Black According to the Audubon guide, "flickers are the only woodpeckers that frequently feed on the ground", probing with their beak, also sometimes catching insects in flight. Although they eat fruits, berries, seeds and nuts, their primary food is insects. Ants alone can make up 45% of their diet. They have a behavior called anting, during which they use the acid from the ants to assist in preening, as it is useful in keeping them free of parasites. IMG_1588

I think it's a male, but I could be wrong. And I could be wrong about the Thymelicus sylvestris, it could be a Thymelicus lineola or ... what do I know .. a Thymelicus acteon. I would be happy, if someone could tell me if I'm right or wrong or whatever. The thistle should be cirsium vulgare. *pulls hair out*
