Tongue's already out as Honeybee nears her Fount of Joy and Protein in Rose Turtlehead, Chelone obliqua. An amazing feat of nature: in a second or so she decelerates her wing movement of about 250 'flaps' a second to zero, stabilises herself to precisely poke her tongue where it needs to go, sucks, and then is off to the next Nectar Pot! Wow!
I think this head is just great, it is really very well done. I hope that there will be more, because the Minotaur is really great. In any case, I would be very happy if one or the other would come.

Four seconds. That was how long I opened the shutter at 2 full stops of (over)exposure. Night was dark and the flaming lamp was basically the only light source at the backstage of the arena where the popular kecak dance was held.
Rife with frenetic dancers scurrying for positions, the area was actually off-limits but it was Idul Fitri Hari Raya and the performance was sold out. Somehow we convinced the box office tenders that we only wanted a peep. Little did they know that for me, this free spot is the best.
