This is Grape going horizontal on a tree. It's a good example how well the camouflage works - his tail is just barely visible (Squirrels-2021-6941.jpg)
An old doodle blended with the stunning echeveria that's growing in our lounge. Happy weekend! Oh I love the weekend.
"Automatism as a term is borrowed from physiology, where it describes bodily movements that are not consciously controlled like breathing or sleepwalking. Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud used free association and automatic drawing or writing to explore the unconscious mind of his patients."
My entry to the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day on April 24th, 2016. This is the river Nemunas I live nearby.
Taken with cylindrical can of Indian instant coffee on 14x9 cm Kodak Polymax RC paper strip. The camera has 6 pinholes (F=25 mm) that cover 360 degree view. Exposure about 20 min. It was an overcast evening before sunset.

A beautiful boy with kaleidoscope eyes.. A male Southern Spiny-tailed Gecko from the myall habitat near Whyalla on the upper Eyre Peninsula of South Australia.
Had he not been trotting along the path, I would have never spotted him. Taken on a recent trip to Antelope Island, Utah.
Genus Backobourkia is an example of the group of spiders that make the familiar vertical orb shaped web.
The web is often eaten after a night's use and renewed the next evening. During the day, the spider remains in a hiding place nearby, as seen here, blending beautifully with a Duranta leaf.
This is a pale form, matching perfectly to its surroundings. The pattern of projections on the upper abdomen is characteristic of this genus.
15 mm body length.

Am Rastplatz Geismühle West der Autobahn 57 südlich von Krefeld steht mit ihren 700 Jahren eine der ältesten Turmwindmühlen in der Region Niederrhein. Sie war eine Getreidemühle, der Name "Geis" leitet sich von "Geest" ab, der lokalen Bezeichnung für einen trockenen, unfruchtbaren Sandrücken, auf dem die Mühle steht.

Einer der ersten Tests des OM 2.0 28mm in der Variante des OM Labors von Gordon Friedrich. Hier bei Blende 5.6 sind Schärfe und Auflösung beachtlich, aber auch bei Offenblende für diese Lichtstärke sehr erfreulich. Kein Wunder dass diese Linse eine der gesuchtesten der alten OM Reihe ist.
In early Summer the foliage and vegetation in our woodlands can look incredible especially after rain. The fresh leaves produce wonderful vibrant and punchy greens which tend to fade away and darken down as Summer marches on. This image is taken at a secluded and hidden little valley which I like to think of as the Isle of Man’s very own rainforest. Obviously, that’s a bit of a descriptive stretch but it’s as close as we get here on our little island! This was a challenging shot to get right requiring 5 different blended images to manage the high dynamic range, depth of field and low light conditions. A little slice of paradise! 🌳🌿👌

A pair of BN Executives well fitting to their surroundings serve as DPUs on an empty coal train heading to pick up another load in the famous Powder River Basin.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Abstract Blend. Maybe they are trying to figure it out, too! HMMM!
None of my small critter series would be complete without an American Pika. They're just too darned cute and charming to be left out.
This little guy/gal was blending in nicely on a boulder at 12,000 feet elevation in Rocky Mountain National Park.
We're about to depart the winter doldrums for a warmer, sunnier climate, hopefully with lots of cooperative birds. So I'll be absent from Flickr for the next couple of weeks. Adios Amigos!
A juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk blending into the environment, hoping not to be spotted by the other bird species it preys upon.
I was amazed how this little hawk maneuvered on wing so quickly and easily through the thick brush. At the time, I just happened to have my camera on me, as I was taking pics of Hummingbirds and other small birds I could find.
The Sharp-shinned Hawk is the smallest of North America's bird-hunting Accipter hawks. It is also the most migratory, breeding north to treeline in Alaska and Canada and wintering south to Panama. It is during migration that the Sharp-shin is most likely to be seen in numbers, with dozens or even hundreds passing at some favored points on the coastlines, lake shores, and mountain ridges. At other season the hawks lurk in the woods, ambushing songbirds and generally staying out of sight like the one pictured.
The Sharp-shinned Hawk feeds on mostly small birds about sparrow size and up to robin size and even Quail from time to time. They also eat small numbers of rodents, bats, lizards, squirrels, frogs, snakes and large insects.
From Wiki: A semi-aquatic turtle of the family Emydidae. This species is native to central and eastern parts of Canada and the United States. It is considered to be an endangered species throughout much of its range. Blanding's turtle is of interest in longevity research, as it shows few or no common signs of aging and is physically active and capable of reproduction into eight or nine decades of life.
Blanding's turtle overwinters under or near water, in mud, or under vegetation or debris. This is known as brumation. During the nesting season, a female Blanding's turtle may be found more than a kilometer from where it hibernated. It is omnivorous, eating crustaceans and other invertebrates, fish, frogs, crayfish, carrion, berries, and vegetable debris. It is capable of catching live fish. Based on the extreme lack of aging symptoms and lack of age related decline, these turtles are considered a negligibly senescent species.
Blanding's turtle is a timid turtle and may plunge into water and remain on the bottom for hours when alarmed. If away from water, the turtle will withdraw into its shell. It is very gentle and rarely attempts to bite. It is very agile and a good swimmer.
I have seen them every visit I made to Magee.
