The Macro Mondays group theme for 3/20 is small and smaller. Am going simple this week with two small wooden hearts- Could this symbolism? - why, yes, indeed it could. Been told that today (Sunday) is Mother’s Day in the UK!! In the US we’ll have to wait til May.
The size verification will be in the first comment box and is also in my photostream. The navy blue heart is about 3.4cm or an inch and a quarter.

Adults of this large swan typically range from 140 to 160 cm (55 to 63 in) long, although can range in extreme cases from 125 to 170 cm (49 to 67 in), with a 200 to 240 cm (79 to 94 in) wingspan. Males are larger than females and have a larger knob on their bill. On average, this is the second largest waterfowl species after the trumpeter swan, although male mute swans can easily match or even exceed a male trumpeter in mass. Among standard measurements of the mute swan, the wing chord measures 53–62.3 cm (20.9–24.5 in), the tarsus is 10–11.8 cm (3.9–4.6 in) and the bill is 6.9–9 cm (2.7–3.5 in). The plumage is white, while the legs are dark grey. The beak of the mute swan is bright orange, with black around the nostrils and a black nail.
The mute swan is one of the heaviest flying birds. In several studies from Great Britain, males (known as cobs) were found to average from about 10.6 to 11.87 kg (23.4 to 26.2 lb), with a weight range of 9.2–14.3 kg (20–32 lb) while the slightly smaller females (known as pens) averaged about 8.5 to 9.67 kg (18.7 to 21.3 lb), with a weight range of 7.6–10.6 kg (17–23 lb). While the top normal weight for a big cob is roughly 15 kg (33 lb), one unusually big Polish cob weighed almost 23 kg (51 lb) and this counts as the largest weight ever verified for a flying bird, although it has been questioned whether this heavyweight could still take flight.
Young birds, called cygnets, are not the bright white of mature adults, and their bill is dull greyish-black, not orange, for the first year. The down may range from pure white to grey to buff, with grey/buff the most common. The white cygnets have a leucistic gene. Cygnets grow quickly, reaching a size close to their adult size in approximately three months after hatching. Cygnets typically retain their grey feathers until they are at least one year old, with the down on their wings having been replaced by flight feathers earlier that year.
All mute swans are white at maturity, though the feathers (particularly on the head and neck) are often stained orange-brown by iron and tannins in the water.

Historical Gastown, Vancouver BC.
Canada
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.
Its historical boundaries were the waterfront (now Water Street and the CPR tracks), Columbia Street, Hastings Street, and Cambie Street, which were the borders of the 1870 townsite survey, the proper name and postal address of which was Granville, B.I. ("Burrard Inlet"). The official boundary[citation needed] does not include most of Hastings Street except for the Woodward's and Dominion Buildings, and stretches east past Columbia St., to the laneway running parallel to the west side of Main Street.
Wikipedia
Location: Historic Gastown
Building: Leckie Building
The lights and colours are constantly changing on this building in different shades of red, purple and blue.
The Leckie Building is a massive cubic seven-storey Edwardian era warehouse/factory building located at the southeast corner of Cambie and Water Street in the historic district of Gastown. Built in 1908 and a large addition to the east was constructed in 1913. Exterior: brick and granite. Internal structure: built of massive timber elements.
Gastown is the historic core of Vancouver, and is the city's earliest, most historic area of commercial buildings and warehouses.
The Leckie Building is representative of the importance of Gastown as the trans-shipment point between the terminus of the railway and Pacific shipping routes, and the consequent expansion of Vancouver into western Canada's predominant commercial centre in the early 20th century

Anyone who knows me, knows of my huge love for tugs,
and this grand ole lady, the KU'ULAKAI - 1944 Miki Tug is by far, my all time favourite.
The low on the horizon setting sun, casts a beautiful tangerine glow that further romances Steveston Harbour.
(Ku'ulakai meaning: Hawaiian Fishing God of Fisherman)
Her history: as per online sources: (Unverified)
Built:1944
Length: 111.9
Gross Tonnage: 301
Used as a Tugboat all along the West Coast of BC
Ku'ulakai is said to be the only intact Miki tug in Canadian waters.
Builder: Northeast Shipbuilding, Quincy Massachusetts, USA
According to onlines sources, this tug was built as a wooden Mikki US Army Tug - LT465, and used by the U.S. navy during the Second World War to tow damaged ships from the Pacific back for repair.
Online information also reports that later on in life, she was used by drug runners in the South Pacific and that in 1988 was seized by the Canadian Coast Guard for smuggling drugs out of China.
She was originally named: Lloyd B. Gore, decommissioned & sold 1946.

The MM theme for 2/24 is figurine and this one is very useful as it is actually a tea-infuser. Someone had a unique sense of humor or irony. Ya gotta love his grin.

Gastown Steam Clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.

A test shot to verify sharpness of a new (used) lens, the Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Heliar Super-Wide.
As seen here the pictures I have taken have been unfocused:
This image is satisfactorily sharp, what I found is the infinity symbol needed to be set to the maximum focal distance. Focusing to 1M with the rangefinder patch is also acceptably sharp. Hyper-focal focusing on the distance scale leaves the frame soft throughout (I expect something is in focus, but likely so far away it is difficult to spot over flat ground.).

Leica M8, Elmar 4/135 at F8 (or F11). I have occasionally addressed the veracity of the old adage "the camera can't lie" [of course it can't, but we can]. From time to time, there were follow-up comments about the small matter of truth in general - usually with an underlying assumption that we can't know the truth and that all we can rely on is our own existence and our self. Myself, I would answer the question of whether there is any certainty with a resolute "I don't know".
The reason is this: if we make an exclusivist claim about truth it would require a method of verification we all can subscribe to. For example, taking my own religion, the notion that Jesus Christ is Lord is such an exclusivist claim. But I can't verify it and most people wouldn't. The same issue would arise if somebody gets up and claims that "there is no certainty". It is not simply that many people would contradict. The problem is much deeper. "There is no certainty" is an exclusivist claim assuming a position of privileged knowledge (that is, a position of certainty - exactly contradicting the claim) and, like other exclusivist claims about truth, it can't be verified. So, is there any certainty? I am not sure, but we can talk about it.
This Royal Tern is a winter bird with white forecrown.
{I had recorded this in my notes from 2010 as a Caspian Tern (Hydroprogne caspia), but with the caveat that the ID required confirmation. A reconsideration suggested to me that it was actually a Royal Tern, and I put this image to the Bird Identification Help Group here on Flickr which verified that.}

Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!
Apologies if you have seen and commented on the earlier version…..
I keep cropping this because I really want to use this for my posting to the Macro Monday group pool for 12/4 for the theme of tableware. And after all you do expect a blue one- right?
Will do a size verification in a bit bc my original one measures from the base of the mug.

Let's call him Prof Pangloss. He is experimenting with his sensory system (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) in order to verify what is in front of him. Sound, smell and taste don't apply, mainly because it is an artificial flower. Touch and vision, however, do produce lots of data. These data can not be 'digested' - they don't make 'sense', unless they are referenced against the prof's large memory banks. After having classified and recognised the object, his mind develops what was an incoherent mass of data into an image of a red artificial flower. That image was not "out there", it is created in his brain. And I am photographing as he is doing it. And you, the viewer, are doing what Pangloss did, you convert these five or so million dots and, then, you "see" the image. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Zhongyi Speedmaster 0.95/35 at F8.
In the 1660s, English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton began a series of experiments with sunlight and prisms. Based on his experiments he argued that the geometric nature of the laws of reflection and refraction could only be explained if light is made of particles, which he referred to as corpuscles, as waves don't tend to travel in straight lines. Newton concluded that light is composed of colored particles that combine to appear white.

"Stacked Plates" is storm chasers jargon for us to describe a strongly striated mesocyclone! Oh this was a B E A U T Y!
Late August 2011. This was a LP (Low Precip) Storm, and she didn't drop an ounce of rain. If anything did come down it evaporated before it hit the ground. It was so damn hot and humid and was just happy the sun was blocked out by the clouds and then this came along. Along with the severe warning it had on it a few counties north of my location as it moved south.
You can clearly see the mid-level inflow bands. Better known as striations. These were so well defined it was jaw dropping!
When the storm got close enough I couldn't really see or verify a wall cloud of any type. We had a few lowerings, but nothing significant to get me to report it. So I really can't call this a supercell. But it sure was fun one to witness!

Collembola Fasciosminthurus saportae
---
Je suis partie vérifier la population des Collemboles Fasciosminthurus saportae (+/- 1mm) et j'avais très envie de voir si la famille Albinos que j'ai découvert il y a deux ans, était toujours présente.
J'ai cherché pendant 2h en plein soleil, à plus de 32° (déjà). Il faut être motivé. Alors que le soleil baissait, à un moment je vois une point orange se déplacer, mon coeur palpite !! c'est l'albinos. Il faut que je me concentre pour réussir une photo. Je suis donc heureuse de vous présenter le Fasciosminthurus saportae classique et son cousin albinos.

I went to check the population of Collembola Fasciosminthurus saportae (+/- 1mm) and I really wanted to see if the Albino family that I discovered two years ago, was still present.
I searched for 2 hours in full sun, at more than 32 ° (already). You have to be motivated. As the sun went down, at one point I see an orange dot moving, my heart is beating !! it's the albino. I have to concentrate to take a picture. I am therefore happy to present the classic Fasciosminthurus saportae and its albino cousin.
Beautiful day
Prachap-Khiri-Khan (Thaïlande) - Ce jour là, il y avait du vent et j'avais vu ce petit bout de cordage qui passait devant l'oeil du jeune marin. Je me suis dit que ce serait sympa de déclencher au moment où la boucle encadrerait l'oeil de l'enfant. Ne travaillant pas en mode rafale, je n'avais quasiment aucune chance de capter la photo que j’avais en tête.
Je me suis donc concentré en comptant mentalement le temps que le codage mettait pour faire un aller et retour en espérant que la force du vent ne faiblirait pas. Et j'ai déclenché au moment -très aléatoire- qui me semblait opportun.
Vérification faite sur l'écran de contrôle, le petit bout de cordage en boucle s'était transformé en monocle. Coup de chance ! Tant mieux car je n'avais pas envie de passer une heure à essayer d'obtenir cette improbable photographie. Si je n'avais pas eu la photo je n’aurais pas réitéré l'essai. Ce jour là, j'ai eu une chance insolante. J’aurais dû acheter un billet de la loterie nationale thaïlandaise.
The little mender with the monocle
Prachap-Khiri-Khan (Thailand) - That day, it was windy and I saw this little piece of rope passing in front of the young sailor's eye. I thought it would be nice to trigger when the loop framed the child's eye. Not working in burst mode, I had almost no chance of capturing the photo I had in mind.
So I concentrated. I mentally counted the time the coding took to go back and forth, hoping that the force of the wind would not weaken. And I triggered at the -very random- moment that seemed appropriate to me.
Verification made on the control screen, the small piece of looped rope had turned into a monocle.
Verification made on the control screen, the small piece of looped rope had turned into a monocle. Lucky Strike ! So much the better because I didn't want to spend an hour trying to get this improbable photograph. If I had not had the photo I would not have repeated the test. That day, I had an insolent chance. I should have bought a Thai National Lottery ticket.
GMC 910 Truck 1969 Owner Verification (Vintage manual focus lens) - Chatted for a while to the owner of this 1969 GMC 910 Truck (he verified the year) who was unloading it outside the skate hire shop at Olympic Plaza today. He’d owned the truck for a number of years and was thinking about having it repainted in the spring. Didn’t look in bad shape given it’s age!
The Liard River Suspension Bridge (also referred to as the Lower Liard River Bridge) is a historic structure located at approximately kilometer 798 (historic mile 496) of the Alaska Highway in northern British Columbia, Canada, spanning the Liard River just south of Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park. Constructed during World War II as part of the rapid building of the Alaska Highway to connect the contiguous United States to Alaska for military purposes, the bridge was completed in 1943 after just nine months of work. It remains the only suspension bridge along the entire 2,232-kilometer (1,387-mile) route of the Alaska Highway and is one of six "special crossings" designated due to their engineering complexity.
The bridge was designed by the American Bridge Company, a prominent U.S. steel fabrication and bridge-building firm founded in 1900 through a merger orchestrated by J.P. Morgan, which had a long history of constructing record-breaking spans. Actual construction was carried out by engineers from the U.S. Public Roads Administration (PRA), which collaborated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the overall Alaska Highway project. The suspension design—spanning 307 meters (1,007 feet) in length and standing about 29 meters (95 feet) above the river—was chosen due to challenging ice conditions on the Liard River, which made it impractical to erect temporary scaffolding in the water for a more standard truss-style bridge.
A notable aspect of its construction was the use of salvaged steel from the infamous Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State (nicknamed "Galloping Gertie"), which had dramatically collapsed in 1940 due to aerodynamic instability just months after opening. This recycling of materials was a practical response to wartime steel shortages and helped expedite the project while reducing costs. The bridge site itself lies within a culturally significant landscape long used by Indigenous peoples, fur traders, and early explorers.
Since its completion, the bridge has been maintained as a key infrastructure element on the Canadian portion of the Alaska Highway, one of 25 bridges overseen in that section. It has undergone periodic upgrades, including erosion mitigation work around the Liard River and cable tension force testing in recent years (conducted by firms like Civionic Engineering for WSP Canada) to verify load ratings and structural integrity. As of 2025, the bridge remains in active use and is a popular landmark for travelers, offering scenic views of the surrounding boreal forest and river gorge.
