I shot the two matches together and liked the way the flames seemed to caress and entwine with each other!
HMM!
A Pushmi-Pullyu is an imaginary (!!!!!!) creature resembling a Llama, but with a head at both ends, as invented by Hugh Lifting in Dr. Dolittle (1922).
This one was seen in the Kent countryside near Tonbridge, England (2020).
Thanks for visiting.
Take care out there.....
A two headed Egret?
A freakish angle of course
The curious thing is (and there's been no skulduggery post editing) is that the bird in the foreground is the (larger) Great Egret whilst the bird further away is the (smaller) Little Egret
Odd then that they should look the same height?
Well yes and no
The angle I took the shot creates the second 'illusion' in this particular shot
My short Sunflower but this has two blooming heads and more to come...
Happy Wednesday everyone, be good...

One stem ... two gerbera flowers!
Smashingly gorgeous X 2 = this lucky find which is hanging out in my garden.
Man and with bird was hanging out in the Pike Street Market and his bird was a popular draw for photographers.
And with this, the end of our stay in Seattle. Catching the morning Amtrak to Vancouver BC.

Flickr friends, some of you may remember seeing this image from a couple of years ago when I was doing quite a few goofy selfies. I’m repositioning it at the top of my photostream now because it illustrates the way that I’m feeling at the moment; I’m mad at myself.
The reason: I knocked over a glass of milk on my Mac laptop and messed it up badly. I had to take it in for repairs, and until I get it back, I am not able to process or post new images, as that’s where my image library and processing software reside. Thankfully, I’ve got my photos backed up on hard drives, so I should be okay if all works as it’s supposed to.
I’ll be taking a break from Flickr until I get the Mac up and running again, hopefully within a week or two. See you then.

I mentioned recently that, when visiting Gravesend's Gordon Promenade, the number of swans seemed to have declined, as only 3, or 4, were swimming up and down the 'prom' in hope of food from the people there.
Yesterday, there were 7, including, perhaps, one with two heads, perhaps in tribute to the great Status Quo and their obscure 4th album: perhaps a result of centuries of muck being poured into the 'dirty old river'; perhaps, even, a manifestation of The Hydra come to teach us the error of our ways.
Of course, I and the many others gathered there were reassured when, after all, two swans swam carelessly away from each other and carried on their way...

Probably my favourite sculpture at the Pilane art gallery. It was chucking it down with rain when we arrived but thankfully it soon cleared up somewhat.
While we were tucked away on a viewing platform near a dam having lunch and photographing the elephants that were relaxing in the water. This pair of giraffes came down for a drink. Always cautious at the water they tentatively took it in turns to grab a drink while the other kept watch.

The reason why we headed to Ottawa on Saturday… It was a morning visit with our grandson. Had we arrived in the afternoon we could not have make the visit due to the Truck Convoy that’s still in Ottawa!
This is my mind trying to escape.
When I was a kid I used to wonder what would happen to my mind if it ever got bored of talking to me and keeping me company. I'd get scared that one day I would think of everything that could be thought, and then there'd be nothing left to think about and my mind would explode.
I've come to the conclusion that the only way to prevent this from happening is to have my own world inside my head, where backwards is forwards at the same time, and nothing and everything exists behind a blur of colour that the other half of me makes sense of.
So far so good, I haven't gone crazy yet.

The whole process of creating beads from the choice of mineral to the finish of production of the bead from the ancient times to the last century was strictly observed, it took several weeks or months and was necessarily accompanied by prayers. So the code was written in a bead. This code stays in the dZi bead forever, and when we wash the dZi, hold it in our hands, we get to connect with the bead. Then, when we wear it, the bead starts to change our astral body by this code. Outer space reacts for it, and life also changes for the better.
This Dzi symbol is called DZI "HAPPINESS", also DZI of longevity or DZI insect.
The symbol depicted on it resembles an insect with two heads, on the other side is the image of a bat.
Promotes a long and healthy life, protects against diseases and accidents. It protects the wearer's life and protects against everything that can lead to premature death.
This is an old Tibetan bead. in the 50s was taken from Tibet to northern India. Bought by my mentor in Dharamshala in the 00s.
We can observe the formation of horseshoes on the surface, as well as the formation of new transparent layers. The Tibetans call this phenomenon the Dragon Mark and consider it a very good sign. As a mineralogist, I can say that this is a sign of living agate.
The bead was actively worn for several generations. The hole and edges of the bead are erased, horseshoes are formed in a special way. The bead gets a greasy matte sheen.
These female Tibetan Antelopes were feeding on a snowy ridge with a snow covered mountain behind in the region of Kekexili, Sanjiangyuan, Qinghai Province, China. The antelopes, which are unique to this area, were on the endangered list until the Kekexili conservation zone was set up. Fortunately, there were plenty to be seen as we drove through.
My second head makes its first appearance to the pinhole camera. The weirdish perspective is due to the camera being perched precariously atop my car's sideview mirror. Late afternoon exposure for about three and a half minutes, on Ilford photo paper as always.
Shingleback are the only species of reptile that forms monogamous relationships, every year in spring they meet up to spend the summer together and every 2-3 years reproduce, with the female giving birth to 1-3 live born young. These live born young are the largest offspring in relation to the mothers size of any animal on the planet.
One can enhance your San Diego Zoo visit (with cash of course) by signing up to feed treats to the giraffes. They appear to be more than welcome to accept the offerings.
Giraffes have drawn long looks from San Diego Zoo guests since 1938. Lofty and Patches were the Zoo’s first giraffes, arriving from Africa with much fanfare. Loading their crates off the ship and onto the truck for the long journey from New York to San Diego was quite a production, and upon their arrival here 10 days later, the giraffes refused to leave their traveling crate. Finally, some one offered them onions, and these veggies accomplished what nothing else could do. To this day, onions serve as a special treat for our giraffes!
The Zoo currently has a small herd of Masai giraffes that shares the exhibit in Urban Jungle with the much smaller Nubian Soemmering’s gazelles, adding interest for the animals and our guests. The Zoo has giraffe feeding opportunities. When you visit, be sure to check out the giraffe feeding times!
Giraffes are the tallest land animals. A giraffe could look into a second-story window without even having to stand on its tiptoes! A giraffe's 6-foot (1.8-meter) neck weighs about 600 pounds (272 kilograms). The legs of a giraffe are also 6 feet (1.8 meters) long. The back legs look shorter than the front legs, but they are about the same length. A giraffe's heart is 2 feet (0.6 meters) long and weighs about 25 pounds (11 kilograms), and its lungs can hold 12 gallons (55 liters) of air! Its closest relative is the okapi.
In many African countries, giraffe populations are slowly decreasing because of habitat loss and the overgrazing of resources by livestock. As a result, the future of giraffes is dependent on the quality of the habitat that remains. Their numbers have decreased in the past century, and two giraffe subspecies, the West African or Nigerian giraffe Giraffa camelopardalis peralta and the Uganda or Rothschild’s giraffe G.c. rothschildi are endangered. While it has historically lived in western Kenya, Uganda, and southern Sudan, the Uganda giraffe has been almost totally eliminated from most of its former range and now survives in only a few small, isolated populations in Kenya and Uganda. The Nigerian giraffe is found in just one area of Nigeria, and it is considered the rarest of the giraffes.
The population of reticulated giraffes G.c. reticulata has dropped by an alarming 80 percent in just 10 years, most likely due to poaching. They are no match for humans with guns; giraffes are shot or snared for their meat, hide, bone marrow, and tail hair. The rest of the giraffe species have not become endangered for a number of reasons. Fortunately, Kenya is starting a giraffe conservation program for the three subspecies found there: reticulated, Uganda, and Masai giraffes G.c. tippelskirchi.
San Diego Zoo Global supports a community conservation effort in northern Kenya that is finding ways for people and wildlife to live together. The San Diego Zoo, has a giraffe-feeding patio (seen in the photo above) where high-fiber biscuits can be purchased and fed to the giraffes. The money raised through the sale of the giraffe biscuits funds the community conservation initiatives the zoo supports in Africa.

The two headed dog.
This is a puzzle consisting of a selection of small parts that fit together to make the figure of a dog. I have photographed the front half of this dog against a mirror to create this two headed mythical creature.
Photographed for Macro Mondays' theme "In the Mirror".
