Monarch butterfly face. He is aged and his eyes are battered, but his tube-like tongue or proboscis in good shape and all wound up in a coil.
Rosa Cirovic tends to a wounded piglet. The Cirovic family lives a traditional semi-nomadic life. They spend the summer in the mountains of northern Montenegro
and winters in the valley.
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
I'm losing my best friend.
I can see a thousand things I've done wrong, in retrospect. It's always too late to fix, of course, in these instances.
I never knew this would happen, never saw things a certain way, maybe took it all for granted and figured true friendship always prevails.
Maybe I misread, or maybe I ignored.
I'm not stupid, or shallow, or oblivious.
I'm rarely shocked by things....but this week has been a chain of shocking revelations and uncomfortable realizations within myself, about myself.
I'm far from perfect, always have been. Maybe I'm farther than I ever thought. After all.
I'm losing my best friend.
From the series "Secret life of the trees".
Created after very last 5 days in Canada...
Who were the Druids? Popular folklore tells us they were ancient Celtic wise men. They wore long robes and had long, flowing beards. Merlin, the famous magician of King Arthur's court, was reputedly a Druid. They are credited with having built Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments throughout Great Britain and Europe.
Other sources tell us Druids were men and women who were really into trees. Their ceremonies were conducted in the open air, often in oak groves. The word Druid is apparently derived from the ancient Celtic words for oak and truth--dru and druidh. Other trees were also very important to them, including yew, hazel, walnut, willow, rowan, ash and birch. Tree symbolism was used in their religious and philosophical teachings, and in their calendar and system of writing, called Ogham.
Druids also believed that trees are like a humans. They deliver a babies, they grow, sometimes they get an illness, they fight, and they die...

This baboon mother and her cub stayed aside from all the other baboons and had deep cuts in the face. Probably the others did not accept her. Zoo in Augsburg
When we were checking into a guest house in Sanzhi, New Taipei City, I went for a quick snoop around the garden. As I neared a pond, I heard a frog bleating and realised there was probably a snake hunting in there somewhere. A checkered keelback had a Gunther's frog (Sylvirana guentheri) by the rear end and was trying to subdue it, although the frog looked much bigger than the snakes mouth. I ran off and grabbed my camera, but as soon as i pointed it at the snake, it released the frog and shot off across the pond, leaving the victim with a very sore backside.

From the most annoying shoot ever, I give you this photo. I could not have done it without my amazing sister. Not only did she press the shutter release for me, she also helped me get all the fake blood off afterwards!
I learned from this shoot that not everything can go the way you want it to. The weather was terrible, I didn't shoot enough for the expansion, and I leaned too far down and had to edit parts of it I didn't originally plan on editing. Overall, I'm happy with the finished image.
The Space Marine Dreadnought is a large, walking tank which carries powerful guns and lethal close combat weaponry, armoured to withstand all but the most powerful of enemy firepower. Pilots interred within Dreadnoughts are Marines who have suffered mortal wounds in battle, maimed and crippled beyond recovery - instead of being mercifully killed, the greatest heroes are instead given what is considered the honour of continuing to serve the Emperor past their normal life. Dreadnoughts can be armed with a wide range of weaponry. These include power claws, twin-linked autocannons, lascannons, heavy bolters or individual multi-meltas, plasma cannons or assault cannons. Built into the close combat weapons is often either a storm bolter or heavy flamer and one entire arm may be replaced with a missile launcher.

I started building on Friday night and completed this model last night (No, I did actually sleep 8hours in between ;)
I used Jerac's photos of his Dreadnought as a reference. Let me say that Jerac is a real Lego genius, the degree of 'engineering' in the model is impressive. I managed to clone his build from waist down, but then modified it to improve stability and strength. The torso I had to build with my own techniques, but using Jerac's exterior shell as a guide. All in all, I am very pleased with the result. Without Jerac's model, I doubt I could have designed a model of such accuracy.

This egret is sporting a wound to its right leg. It was very cooperative today giving lots of close flybys. It's nice to get a shot close enough that you don't have to crop. (and you didn't clip the wings)
Just got myself a new Canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens... shot of the machine heads on my Tanglewood Acoustic... :)
understanding the rewards of walks around blocks with bucks & hawk feathers for inc ent ive (he's part blackfeet so it's fine - he should have it & we know the hawk personally & she's fine with it)
Looks better pressing L

Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f/1.4 manual focus lens on the Z7 via FTZ adapter. There were probably several focus-stacked shots involved, but I have kept no record of this.
This was only my second time shooting tennis, but my experience with shooting surf and fast moving jets has helped me to hone my tracking and action anticipation abilities which helped a lot. With the help of the blazing fast Z9 I was able to get loads of shots right when the ball was hitting the racket and being deformed. While it looks cool, I find it doesn't really tell a story. I like the shots just before the strike the best. Where the players are wound up, ready to pounce, all focus is on the ball and they are ready to strike!
Irie is a Black Star rescue hen who was living a rough life in and around the local school bus yard. We rounded her up and adopted her in October 2007.
In February of this year, she left our safe, Great-Pyrenees-guarded pasture. A dog, not one of ours, attacked her and broke her wing. I took her picture when we got back from the vet.
Irie has recovered, though she can't fly anymore. She seems happy in the pasture with the other birds.
Irie is a tough old hen and a fitting Memorial Day bird.
Happy Memorial Day and Happy Feathery Friday.
