The look I get accompanied by, "Okay, that's enough. Stop taking pictures of me. Now."

With a layer of thick glass between us, I zoomed in on Rafiki.

This cutie was bouncing about my kitchen. I approached in a calm, authoritative fashion, while speaking softly, and convinced it that I was not malevolent. Twenty minutes after release, I was in the back yard and it returned, scrutinizing me at a distance ranging from 5 to 15 feet for a period of 4 to 5 minutes.

**Its plumage is best appreciated in the 'large' size.**

Life is good.

A bit of research shows it to be a female Calliope Hummingbird.

Close up of a home made instrument that kept cropping up on my trip around Rajasthan. Does anyone know what it is?

Experiment with the macro settings on my new camera. My old one couldn't take a closeup quite this well.

I know summer is finally here when my rose bush starts to bloom...

un vecchio orologio e voglia di sperimentare

Did you find what you were after

The Pain and the laughter brought you to your knees

But if the sun sets you free

You'll be free indeed

Here is as closeup as I can get of a freshwater ostracod from our aquarium. It is about 0.5-0.75mm in length. These appear to be grazing on the micro algae in the tank. Gotta get a pic of one of these buggers through the microscope. Unfortunately I haven't ound the right setup for that... yet.

there are quite a few flaws, but I'm pleased with how she turned out for a first try.

Still testing these versions..
