these two furry sweethearts (Mira and Nelli) entered our life ...
and it's still a daily joy - Happy Monday!

Strobist info:
The image was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights placed 80° CL/CR, two-feet away from and 16-inches above the subjects. The speedlights were fired in Manual mode @ full power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with a 36mm extension tube attached.

We often wonder how different animal species see their world. What this surrealist image represents is that colour is entirely about perception. What we see and agree is green grass, might just as well be red to another creature. Some ancient historians argue, for instance, that in Homer's time the colour "blue" did not exist as we know it. Have a read of this article if you're interested.

These black and white Belted Galloways might see the world in monochrome, or perhaps they see their food source in bright reddish tones like this. This breed of cow comes from southwestern Scotland. It was established as a specific breed in 1921. I assure you the cow on the right does have four legs despite the illusion. You see, we can't always believe what we see!
None of this work involved AI at all! Nor did I use style filters. This is processing from the ground up where RAW files were altered using Capture One software.

Two Seasons
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
The two seasons
are like a landscape
of powdered snow
decorating the world
just for you to see
Each season is
a new picture
and a brand new
way to look
at life.
Manhattan is the most densely populated and geographically smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. Coextensive with New York County, Manhattan is the smallest county by geographical area in the U.S. state of New York. Located almost entirely on Manhattan Island near the southern tip of the state, Manhattan constitutes the center of the Northeast megalopolis and the urban core of the New York metropolitan area. Manhattan serves as New York City's economic and administrative center and has been described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world.
Present-day Manhattan was originally part of Lenape territory. European settlement began with the establishment of a trading post by Dutch colonists in 1624 on southern Manhattan Island; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The territory and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York, based in present-day Lower Manhattan, served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor greeted millions of arriving immigrants in the late 19th century and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals. Manhattan became a borough during the consolidation of New York City in 1898, and houses New York City Hall, the seat of the city's government. The Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, part of the Stonewall National Monument, is considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement, cementing Manhattan's central role in LGBT culture. It was also the site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, the borough is bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers and includes several small adjacent islands, including Roosevelt, U Thant, and Randalls and Wards Islands. It also includes the small neighborhood of Marble Hill now on the U.S. mainland. Manhattan Island is divided into three informally bounded components, each cutting across the borough's long axis: Lower Manhattan, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan. Manhattan is one of the most densely populated locations in the world, with a 2020 census population of 1,694,250 living in a land area of 22.66 square miles, or 72,918 residents per square mile, and coextensive with New York County, its residential property has the highest sale price per square foot in the United States.
Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in Manhattan, as are numerous colleges and universities, such as Columbia University and New York University. The headquarters of the United Nations is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan. Manhattan hosts three of the world's top 10 most-visited tourist attractions: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. Penn Station is the busiest transportation hub in the Western Hemisphere. Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. Fifth Avenue is the most expensive shopping street in the world.The borough hosts many prominent bridges and tunnels, and skyscrapers including the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center. It is also home to the National Basketball Association's New York Knicks and the National Hockey League's New York Rangers.

A new Heliconia flower is emerging like a flame. But look closely, it has a constant mate. There is a little baby Katydid sitting there, and has been since the flower emerged days ago. The Katydid tried to hide if you get close but it obviously likes its new residence.

I turn 25 today. Time to see the path I've past, enjoy the present, and look forward to new beginnings.

I like the shine on the waxy petals of this tulip, even though the flower itself does not really appeal to me. Saying that, I'm taking enough bloomin' photographs of them - haha!!
Explored :)
