THIS IMAGE IS STAGED
These 2 popped up after some rain in my flower bed that I recently added horse manure to. I carefully bought them inside and set up a little area to get some pics of them. It was not long before they started to go leggy and droop over. I have added a BTS for anyone that is interested.

The diffuser is my DIY that I am still in the process of getting to a point where I am happy with it as a finished article but as is it is providing some nicely lit macro images.
Base edit in Adobe LR
Stacked and final edit in Adobe PS
I like to stack my shots as its a way of hiding my macro addiction. Not many people realize I am hiding more than one image in a single shot when they see it so maybe my macro addiction doesn't look that bad on the outside?
Enjoy the rest of your day and week.
Please comment if you fave and please credit me if you use.
Step 1: Gather pieces. you will need a binocular, 1x2 vent, lego e11 blaster, and an antennae. You will also need some action figure package plastic or a hollow lego tube.
Step 2: cut apart the vent like shown, cut off the eyehole piece from the binoculars, and you can cut a small part off the antennae. You will also want to cut off the sight from the gun.
Step 3: Cut off small parts from the vent and get your plastic tube trimmed for the front. If you are using a tube You'll have to cut a slit.
Step 4: glue the parts on like so.
Step 5: Glue the tube or plastic and paint black.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Pheasant Coucal
Scientific Name: Centropus phasianinus
Description: A large 'pheasant-like', ground-dwelling cuckoo, the Pheasant Coucal has a long tail and short rounded wings. In its breeding plumage, it has a black head, neck and underbody with the upperparts and wings reddish-brown with black and cream barring and the black tail is barred orange. Out of breeding, the head and back return to a reddish chestnut colour and the underparts are cinnamon brown, with all streaked boldly white. The eye is red. Sexes are similar in plumage, but females are larger than males. Young birds look like paler, non-breeding adults with orange spots on the head, neck and upper body. When disturbed, coucals run rather than fly, or fly clumsily, plunging into cover. Unlike most other cuckoos, the Pheasant Coucal is not a nest parasite.
Distribution: The Pheasant Coucal is found in northern and eastern Australia, as well as New Guinea and East Timor. It is found from the Pilbara, Western Australia, to south-eastern New South Wales. In New South Wales it is mainly found east of the Great Dividing Range from the Queensland border to the southern Hunter region, with some around Sydney and further south to Illawarra.
Habitat: The Pheasant Coucal prefers dense understorey vegetation, particularly grasses, rushes, bracken and sedges, in open forests and woodlands, and around wetlands. Often found in sugar cane plantations near wetlands, on farmlands with thick grasses and weed-infested thickets, such as Lantana. Often seen in parks, gardens and along roads or railway lines.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: The Pheasant Coucal feeds on the ground on large insects, frogs, lizards, eggs and young of birds and, sometimes, small mammals.
Breeding: Pheasant Coucals form lasting pairs and, unlike other Australian cuckoos, build their own nests and raise their young themselves. The nest is usually hidden in thick grass or sugar cane or in weedy thickets and is a platform of sticks, grass or rushes, lined with leaves and grasses. The male usually incubates the eggs and feeds the young, with the female helping with feeding. More than one clutch can be laid in one season. The Pheasant Coucal is the only Australian cuckoo to build its own nest. It also lives and nests on the ground, unlike other cuckoos.
Calls: Deep, hollow 'oop-oop-oop-oop'; also a metallic tapping call.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 70cm
Average size: 60cm
Average weight: 380g
Breeding season: September to March
Clutch Size: 3 to 5
Incubation: 15 days
Nestling Period: 13 days

Description: 2014-04-13 - The image was taken last Sunday as on the last minute I decided to make my way to Darul Quran in Kuala Kubu Baru which is approximately 1 hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Arriving a bit late, I quickly deployed my gears in place and Alhamdulillah this was the 1st frame of 900 frames I took for my time lapse session. Do visit my Vimeo or Youtube profile for the timelapse later.

I got that Microfighter Resistance Fighter set, and immediately fell in love with the figure.
I didn't really get any of The Force Awakens sets when they came out, so it was my first time getting the new pilot suit and helmet.
The figure was practically perfect already, but I wanted to add a little more.
Rebel Pilot:
I immediately changed the head, cause I love how these new heads look. The main figure details were all kept with same with the exception of a few. The white print seemed to be washed out, so I painted over it with a firmer shade of white. I added some black boots, just for a little contrast, and changed the color of the gray tubing on his thighs. The gap between the torso and legs was filled in. The whole figure was then washed in dark brown for a better look. I added simp pockets on the sides of his arms and legs and wrapped his hands in Etape. The helmet has battle damage of various browns, black, and even white for paint scratches.
For his accessory I made an SE-14C. The base was a brickarms gun, with the back chopped off and sights/piping glued on. The whole thing was painted in a matte black. I think I got the likeness pretty well, but I'm missing a side barrel.
I think that's it!
Overall I'm super pleased with how this turned out, as it is one of the first Star Wars figs I've done in a while.
Thanks if you comment and read!

For Thursday lock down I replied to a comment that was questioning the ethics of photographing my daily walks (exercise). I was in fact replying to a comment replying to my reply to the first comment.
I then decided to delete all the said comments because I was just going to behave like a dog with a bone. I do get aggrieved by people questioning my ethics when they align me with people going to the coast or beauty spot during this period.
Sure, ask if it's a good idea posting images that might encourage others to go out and do the same! that I would understand and was something I did take into account when I posted said outside location photos.
anyway I won't do it again, just as I won't stop going for the daily exercise the government said I am allowed to do.
Other than that I planted the tomato plants out along with some carrots that will probably get attacked by carrot fly. I mixed in some chives as this is supposed to help keep the carrot fly away from my small crop. The beans will probably go out tomorrow if I can find my canes.
Yeah I wore this all day today even doing the gardening and my three mile walk.

...from a visit to Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island. (Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.)
Laughing Kookaburra nesting in a burrow excavated in an arboreal (tree-dwelling) termite mound.
Scientific Name: Dacelo novaeguineae
Description: The Laughing Kookaburra is instantly recognisable in both plumage and voice. It is generally off-white below, faintly barred with dark brown, and brown on the back and wings. The tail is more rufous, broadly barred with black. There is a conspicuous dark brown eye-stripe through the face. It is one of the larger members of the kingfisher family.
Similar species: Identification may only be confused where the Laughing Kookaburra's range overlaps that of the Blue-winged Kookaburra, Dacelo leachii, in eastern Queensland. The call of the Blue-winged Kookaburra is coarser than that of the Laughing Kookaburra, and ends somewhat abruptly. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lacks the brown eye-stripe, has a blue tail and a large amount of blue in the wing, and has a pale eye.
Distribution: Laughing Kookaburras are found throughout eastern Australia. They have been introduced to Tasmania, the extreme south-west of Western Australia, and New Zealand. Replaced by the Blue-winged Kookaburra in central northern and north-western Australia, with some overlap in Queensland, although this species is more coastal.
Habitat: The Laughing Kookaburra inhabits most areas where there are suitable trees.
Feeding: Laughing Kookaburras feed mostly on insects, worms and crustaceans, although small snakes, mammals, frogs and birds may also be eaten. Prey is seized by pouncing from a suitable perch. Small prey is eaten whole, but larger prey is killed by bashing it against the ground or tree branch.
Breeding: Laughing Kookaburras are believed to pair for life. The nest is a bare chamber in a naturally occurring tree hollow or in a burrow excavated in an arboreal (tree-dwelling) termite mound. Both sexes share the incubation duties and both care for the young. Other Laughing Kookaburras, usually offspring of the previous one to two years, act as 'helpers' during the breeding season. Every bird in the group shares all parenting duties.
Calls: The chuckling voice that gives this species its name is a common and familiar sound throughout the bird's range. The loud 'koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa' is often sung in a chorus with other individuals. The Laughing Kookaburra also has a shorter 'koooa The Laughing Kookaburra is not really laughing when it makes its familiar call. The cackle of the Laughing Kookaburra is actually a territorial call to warn other birds to stay away.
Minimum Size: 40cm
Maximum Size: 45cm
Average size: 42cm
Average weight: 340g
Breeding season: August to January
