Futur compost

Trash Macro Mondays.

My darkest Halloween pic so far this year.

In Nepal, dry leaves from the jungle are used to make organic compost in their backyard.

I enjoy the grainy aspect when shooting with a low resolution device. Some seem to not favor having large foregrounds or backgrounds but this is how I feel great proportion and balance is gained. I tried many different angles with this shot and personally preferred being able to show the one angler having his morning smoke and the only way I could accomplish this was having their heads above the shore line. By doing this as well highlights the sunrise reflections on the face of the other sportsman. I feel this just ads to the depth of the image. since both heads have a unique presence. Sure I could crop out some of the foreground (Many will say I should) but it's my style and signature if you see my gallery

It would take an organic farmer to post such a sign on his boundary fence; I wonder what grows beyond the native bush on the other side of that barbed wire.

The plastic earth screws were no match for Bruno. We’ve had lots of visits from this bear and/or it’s friends.

Good for compost, I understand.

Time to get that Composting Bin started.

I was dumping some yard debris and spotted a few of these. I didn't have any plans on photographing, but...

I used a small puck light due to the bright backdrop and took 60 images for my stack. I had hoped to capture the back valance, but this guy was very short.

I've hardly finished some work on a rather neglected compost át the back of friends' veggie garden when several neigbours from the adjacent National Park arrived to appreciate my work. The Satin Bowerbirds came in numbers and allowed me to observe their likes and dislikes, as well as the way they deal with the food on offer. TBC

We were surprised to look out to see these sweet ladies in our yard. One of them was very interested in our compost!

I feel terrible for wildlife lately because the air quality is horrendous due to the Canadian wildfires. For several days it’s been in the “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” range, with a constant haze in the air. While we have the option of closing windows & filtering our air, they do not.

Here in rural Ontario we not only get black flies at the onset of spring along with mosquitos right through until fall but, we also get deer flies. They are a stupid insect as they land on you and before they can take a bite you have time to swat them. If they do happen to get a bite well, they take chunks out of you.

This fella was seen here on my little compost pail in the kitchen this morning and as it is macro Monday well, he was fair game for me. I managed to get quite a number of "portraits" of him before I took him on the lid and sent him packing out the door.

I may not always get to thank you for every fave or reply to a comment that you might leave here on my image but, just know each comment is read and very much appreciated.

Sarebbe bello, ma non è così, purtroppo... sì tratta del TME ordinario per Torre Annunziata, questa volta composto solamente di carrozze Z ad eccezione di un carro H posto a fine composizione.

Árvore leguminosas , nativa do sul do Brasil, Argentina, Uruguai e Paraguai, podendo atingir 10 metros de altura.Tem um tronco tortuoso, folhas compostas, trifolioladas. Suas flores são vermelhas de cálice campanulado.

O fruto é uma vagem com sementes semelhantes ao feijão.

Tem grande importância para o paisagismo, pois, quando florida, é extremamente ornamental.

I was a little bothered that my photographer friend was able to whip out his phone and get la perfect HDR in one shot, so I took it as a challenge. I consider this as much digital art as photography, and not really the kind of photo I strive for

This is what our compost looks like at the moment. It proves that the compost soil is excellent, and that the garden care is somewhat neglected :)

Most of the strawberries were lovely - this one seems to be growing rather a lot of mould !!!!!

Macro Mondays - Trick or Treat

Some years ago we warned local children that if they threw eggs at our house when denied a treat their compost heap would become infested with ghoulish horrors.

This creature was recently found on one of their garden paths - clearly tortured to reveal the location of where where others might be hiding. You have been warned!

No apples were actually harmed during the capture of this individual, it's a mock up.

A very quick peek!!

Trash- It seems to me after review of the pictures before me, we could do a lot of composting and recycling to reduce the world waste stream. Unfortunately this tea bag creates landfill in it's packaging. The acid loving plants enjoy the tea bag it's self. I start the day creating waste, perhaps a different brand in the future.

I thought the snow on the lid of this compost bin looks like the radioactivity symbol.

Natures way of Recycling its self.

The Flickr Lounge-Made Of Wood

These are wood pallets we got from a local business to use for our compost bins. The Rhubarb is growing on the left side and a volunteer Delicata Squash is growing in front of the bin.

Thursday Monochrome

Planting season is upon us and Stu dug out the Toro Lawn Mower to make his way to the compost pile.

The largest of the abandoned barges I photographed on this day. The wood timbers are so substantial that they partially turn to compost long before they totally disintegrate. Some of the barges have a thicket of shrubbery growing on top; this one had smaller plants on the side.

These might as well be wallpaper

The original swimming pool is still intact on the grounds of the circa-1910 Cornish Estate near Cold Spring, N.Y. There had to have been a great view of the Hudson Highlands down the slope before all these trees sprouted.

Nature Recycling, what it made.
