The genus of Velvet Geckos (Oedura), contain some of the most beautifully patterned reptiles in the world. This large species is common in the breath-taking rocky country in Central Australia.
They are nocturnal hunters and prey amongst a variety of insects and smaller geckos, retreating to rock crevices during the day.

Hello amazing Flickr people!!
Today is a blue day at Color My World Daily. And we celebrate bows at Looking close on Friday Group. I decided to show you my favorite bowtie.
And how is the biggest fan of bowties ??? Me and Mr.Kosmos. Yes, you heard right: I wear bowties… maybe not daily but at least once a week. I have a huge collection of bowties, and so does Kosmo. On the picture is one of my favorite bowties and it happened to be electric blue velvet (very convenient for a blue Friday, isn’t it ?)
But since, I wasn’t 100% sure if a bowtie will be accepted, I put a small blue bow around Kosmos neck, this way I’m sure my contribution follows all the rules ;-).
It is a well-known fact: a bowtie will never soak in your bowl of soup. So, I think a bowtie is much superior to a tie (which I wear also, very, very frequently …). And I can hear you : in space you don’t eat that much soup so why Mr. Kosmo loves bowties so much ??
First of all, bowties are smaller than ties so there is less danger for an astronaut to get stuck in some kind of machinery with a bow tie (much, much shorter) than a tie (very long and slim which makes it easy to get caught in the gear of a spaceship).
Second point: the limited space on a spaceship will not allow you to bring many ties but since bowties are smaller you get to take more of them with you…
Third point: bowties are soooo classy. So in the event of meeting some new life form, what do you want them to see: a very stylish astronaut with a huge and luxurious bowtie and a bottle of his best gin (a hostess gift) OR an ok astronaut with a thin and wrinkled tie ( I remind you that there is no iron on a space ship so you don’t have the luxury to iron your tie before meeting a new life form…).
And it is a known fact that you have only one chance to make a great first impression! So, you can never be over dressed. And that is why, Mr. Kosmos plans to wear a bowtie on every single mission (even the smallest one, like to go from the kitchen to the dining room) he will be eventually send to …
And that is also what I did for my yesterday’s video meeting. I had a bowtie and I did put makeup and a shirt ….which was so freaking tiny… Do you think that clothes can get smaller somehow just because you don’t wear them as often as you did ? Like “clothes shrinkage due to excessive anxiety ” .... CSDEA ???
Lets all pretend it exists for now….
I have to go, we have a late family breakfast time at my office/dining room since I have a day off today…Have a great Friday !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!
In the silence of the garden, under the caress of the day, a purple murmur awakens. A heart of gold, framed in velvet, silently shares the secret of a life of grace.

I just got a couple of new wigs on Friday and Nerilka immediately claimed one to wear right then and there for photos. I also just got some great deals on fabric for some different backdrops and the two I used for this shoot are crushed velvet style. I like how the darker burgundy velvet looks in the back with the super soft mohair wig. I love all the soft curlies!

Found this straw flower around our yard. The background was very blah so I blended in the Delight texture from the Kathleen Clemons collection.
This image was taken with my Nikon D850 and a Lensbaby Velvet 85 with a +2 closeup filter.

A few recent macro type photos that I especially like.
1)Planthopper-This guy was tiny, maybe a few mm but that blue caught my eye.
2)Speckled Scutellerid-a cool looking shield-backde bug.
3)Velvet Ant-They are actually solitary wasps with a nasty sting.
4)Eastern Leaf-footed Bug Nymphs

Taking a look at my photos of tulips I found one variety that had the petals super soft like velvet. The color was pretty and intense but today I'm in B&W mood.

True velvet mites are small, velvety, usually bright red mites often seen creeping around on rocks, planters, tree trunks, or on the ground, especially after a rain. They are harmless to people.
True velvet mites are usually no bigger than about ⅛ inch long. But one group, the giant velvet mites (Dinothrombium spp.), may be nearly a half inch long. That genus is most common in the arid Southwest, but they can occur in eastern states as well.
Certain species (especially the giant velvet mites, Dinothrombium spp.) are most common in dry, sandy soils (especially in the desert Southwest) and are usually only seen after heavy rains, when they come out in large numbers (hence the common name “rain bugs”); velvet mites in that group prey on termites, which also emerge from the soil after heavy rains.

Series of seven. Unexpected winter visitor to the local harbour. My first sighting of a Velvet Scoter (f). I think it should stay for a while as it was feeding constantly, probably crab.
Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), aka caribou in North America, are a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to Arctic, sub-Arctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America.
Both male and female reindeer grow antlers yearly beginning in March or April for males and May or June for females. As the antlers grow, they are covered in thick velvet, filled with blood vessels and spongy in texture. When the antlers are fully grown, the velvet is shed or rubbed off as seen in this male.
