Best on Black.
My intention was to capture the halo effect on the flower stems backlight by the evening sun. The hedge cast a moving shadow so I was preoccupied to get the shot quickly. Along came the bee ! I know he's not super sharp but he was moving fast without any consideration for my artistic intentions.

Audi RS5 DTM
At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Wolfgang Dürheimer, Member of the Board for Technical Development of AUDI AG, and Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich presented the racecar for the DTM 2013 - the Audi RS5 DTM. The driver line-up for the new DTM season is also fixed.
"Motorsport is an integral part of the Audi DNA and is not an end in itself for our company," said Wolfgang Dürheimer. "At the end of the day, our customers benefit from the victories on the racetracks, because we attach great value to technology transfer between motorsport and production. Our new Audi RS6 Avant, which we present here in Geneva, is a prime example: it combines downsizing of the engine with significantly less weight. And where do you learn this? In motorsport."
The technical specification of the DTM cars was 'frozen' in accordance with the regulations as the checkered flag fell at the last race of the 2012 season. Further development was only possible in extremely limited form. Over the winter, the Audi Sport DTM team concentrated on identifying if any of the 4,000 components in the racecar from the 2012 season offered any potential for optimization. "Our technicians proved to be quite resourceful in the process," explains Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.
The model name Audi RS5 DTM is new. As a result, Audi establishes a direct reference in the DTM to the company's successful production models. "The abbreviation 'RS' stands for the sportiest Audi models," said Dr. Ullrich. "The performance data of the current RS5 and RS5 DTM are very similar. This is why we are of the opinion that both fit perfectly to one another."
Eight Audi RS5 DTM join the grid for the 2013 DTM. They are fielded by the three proven Audi Sport squads Abt Sportsline, Phoenix and Rosberg, which have reinforced in part by recruiting additional personnel. The allocation of the eight Audi factory drivers between the teams is now also fixed. Newcomer Jamie Green (Great Britain) is the new team-mate of two-time DTM Champion Mattias Ekström (Sweden) at Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline. The 30-year old is regarded as one of the fastest and best DTM drivers of the modern era. He drove the new Audi RS5 DTM onto the stage during the presentation. "I already feel at home here at Audi and can hardly wait to contest my first DTM race for the four rings," said the Briton.
With a combined total of 25 race wins and two championship titles, Ekström and Green form the most successful driver combination in the entire DTM 2013 field. Nine DTM race wins unite the other Audi driver teams which have remained almost identical since the 2012 season: the double DTM Champion Timo Scheider (Germany) and Adrien Tambay (France) compete for Audi Sport Team Abt, Miguel Molina (Spain) and Mike Rockenfeller (Germany) for Audi Sport Team Phoenix, Filipe Albuquerque (Portugal) and Edoardo Mortara (Italy/France) for Audi Sport Team Rosberg.
Lying silently on a shelf in my 'museum', a selection of the vintage street lighting time-switches that I have saved over the years. Most are electric, a few of them are clockwork, but nearly all of them still work, bearing testiment to the quality of their manufacture.
This is a red-necked grebe a favourite of country music fans, that we saw on a road trip yesterday.
They are nesting along the waterfront in Toronto.
Two of the chicks wore themselves out and took a break on mom's back.
I took over 400 shots so you will be seeing more of the grebes in the near future.
Podiceps grisegena
Like other grebes, the Red-necked Grebe ingests large quantities of its own feathers. Feathers remain in the bird's stomach. The function of feathers in the stomach is unknown. One hypothesis suggests that the feathers help protect the lower digestive tract from bones and other hard, indigestible material.
The Red-necked Grebe migrates over land strictly at night. It sometimes migrates over water or along coasts by day, in large flocks.

My landlady sent me this photo last Friday - you can see the little wren peering out over the mouth of the windsock.
The previous post shows it in the nest.

Next time what I'd do is look at
the earth before saying anything. I'd stop
just before going into a house
and be an emperor for a minute
and listen better to the wind
or to the air being still.
When anyone talked to me, whether
blame or praise or just passing time,
I'd watch the face, how the mouth
has to work, and see any strain, any
sign of what lifted the voice.
And for all, I'd know more -- the earth
bracing itself and soaring, the air
finding every leaf and feather over
forest and water, and for every person
the body glowing inside the clothes
like a light.

Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips
While looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
I look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
"Time" är min tolkning till Fotosöndag och tema "Evighet".
En ung man sitter ensam på perrongen, med musiklurar på sitt huvud och fötterna på sin skateboard. Kanske väntar han på ett tåg? ...eller inte!

"Time" is my contribution to the photogroup Photosunday on theme "Eternity".
A young man sitting lonely on the plattform, with earphones on the head and the feets on his skatebord. Maybe his waiting for a train to arrive? ...or not!

I have been waiting for her body to arrive for a long time, and it was so sad to live her head there alone, so I tried this experiment, I put her head on my Pullip's body, the obitsu one, and I actually liked a lot, it's so tiny and cute, and she can pose a lot in this body :D~ At least she has a temporary body xD
