Dark and luring image taken in a shed at Mother roads. Typical of me I love the lighting and the excellent meshing and texturing made the photo so appealing to me.

A lovely female Festive Coquette after the rain. At Trilha dos Tucanos, Tapiraí, SP. The Festive Coquette is a very small hummingbird - about 7,5 cm and weights no more than 3 grams...

HMBT!

From this bench you can watch the water flow over the rock fill dam. Built to divert the water into two streams which was used to run the furnace, forges and grist mill.

My final shot of the unfulfilled fisherman. It’ll be Birdseye at the local supermarket tonight as nothing was biting. Perhaps they were all having an early dinner. Lake Samsonvale, SE Queensland.

I think sometimes we forget to look at the ordinary, inconsequential things around us. And so we often miss the mystery and beauty to be found by contemplating the ordinary.

One of the things I love about the nature reserve I visited on Saturday is that fact that's it's usually very peaceful and quiet there. It's lovely to just sit down, admire the beauty of nature and let your mind come to rest. At this time of year the colours aren't bad either. :)

Finley is deep in thought , how do you get a back door back on a model Landrover ?

...possible shots with spectacles! I know that the eyeglasses can‘t be worn for this weeks "Smile on Saturday" theme, however I still had to realize this idea as well...

Of the day, or of the world ... ?

As humans we live such a busy life that we don't realize how microscopic we are in this infinite universe. Enjoy <3

Well, I believe life is a Zen koan, that is an unsolvable riddle. But the contemplation of that riddle - even though it cannot be solved - is, in itself, transformative. And if the contemplation is of high enough quality, you can merge with the divine.
