After deciding whether to take a photo for the theme, I finally used three crystal balls inside a pale blue foam egg packaging and lined them up in a row. I used my two table lamps for light.

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...

Happy Caturday group wants to see what hobbies our cats enjoy and I really think retrieving is highest on Rena's list. She is very sketchy in her retrieving, sometimes 8 or 9 quick retrieves and sometimes none or only one. But always these little springs.
Here she's deciding if she'd rather do something else, maybe bird watching or bopping Benni on the nose.
After months of planning and deciding where to go to take the shot of steel wool burning I just went out - drove close to the cemetery a few kilometres away and took the shot. This was a result of the 3rd attempt. i know - it's far from perfect but just a start. I must say I immensly enjoyed taking the shot - it was fun to see those sparks flying around while moving the whisk around. I'll definitely do it more than just once - changing scenery - discovering new places to shoot it - definitely somewhere over the water.
I had a hard time post processing - mainly because of light pollution - the background was too light. Finally just used RawTherapee to tweak it - originally WB was not so good on automatic so had to work on it. I guess I could do it much better but hey it's my first time.
The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.

I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....
....first there was darkness till i created the night, first there was darkness and darkness was right. darkness is moving into the light...

- was deciding the Goat scratching its cheek.
A small herd of grazing goats manage chalk grassland of the Reserve. These are domesticated goats (Capra hircus) that fit well into rocky landscape of this area. Grazing was performed by sheep in the past, but goats might be more efficient in this job, and they have horns too. It would be interesting to see if it brings more orchids and other wildflowers, or they will be eaten. Avon Wildlife Trust, Bathford near Bath, England, UK

this young cheetah is the leader of a group of 3 that we found in Mara North Conservancy.
While we were following them they were attacked by 2 lionesses from the River Pride. The cheetahs were of course too fast to be caught but the lionesses kept on chasing them for about 15 minutes. This photo was taken after the attacks and when the 3 youngsters were again together and now this cheetah had to decide where to go now.
Later in the trip I found out that this group of young cheetahs had previously been chased out of the Lemek and Enonkishu Conservancies. These conservancies all have big lion prides and large populations of hyena's.
Very challenging conditions for cheetahs.

This is the variation of last weeks Sunday Slider. This one being very similar to last week will not be going into the slider pool.
I had a hard choice last week deciding which shot I liked more.
Caught this pretty Mallard drake with his girl in my pond. Usually they fly off before I even get to the pond but this time they stayed, even after Otto ran by.
Then Tank and Sugar arrived and started getting close to the pond's edge and that's when Mr. and Mrs. Mallard decided to exit the premises.
I got quite a few good flight shots. It was hard to decide what to post. But I decided on this one.
The ducks were backlit but fortunately there was enough light reflecting off the pond water to illuminate the drake to make his colors show a bit and to light his belly some.
This was sure easier than getting those little buggers, the Pine Siskins, in flight.
Tofu loves early mornings when the temperatures are nice and the birds are active. The birds are surprisingly careless around him but when he sneaks closer even the most careless bird decides to better fly off and disappear, especially if he licks his lips ...
Happy Fence Friday ! :)

I was deciding which shots to post of this Short Eared Owl that has been a popular superstar since his arrival. I thought this was an interesting spot where he decided to perch for awhile. The lighting was tricky since it came from the front. I really wanted a background instead of a high key frontal shot. Although a farther shot, I thought this view was the best for that situation.
You have to decide, because of my Engineering background that to get this image, I drilled 4 holes in the Spoon to fit the Fork into... On the other hand was it all done in Photoshop..... You Decide.
As well as photographing pebbles and leaves in Scotland, I spent a lot of time photographing bits of grass. All things I probably could have photographed at home. I always enjoy making this kind of image. But I’m never quite sure later if I’ve created a work of art or just a load of arty bollocks. It's a fine line! You decide.

Deciding to walk closer to Soda Lake yesterday to get a low photo with the hills in the background was an excellent decision. For a long time now I've wanted to witness American Avocets breeding. I've seen photos and video of what others have captured. I got to witness that yesterday. I was watching these two as they called and flew in pretty close to me. One kept it's head down for a long time (I thought it was just eating) so after checking my image real quickly and seeing that it wasn't eating but just hovering its bill above the water made me stop and think back to other images I'd seen. I quickly got low again and watched. It was over in an instant, but what an elegant behavior to observe. All I could say softly to myself was, "wow, wow, wow."
Until the Minnesota winter decides to get serious, we are blessed with some mild sunrises. If you are not viewing this on a phone, you may be able to see someone's shoes on the fence posts.
I love standing waiting for the storms and squalls to approach, watching everyone else leave the beach. I just get so absorbed in trying to capture all the drama that i forget about the imminent soaking. Deciding whether to run for cover or not is usually a last second spur of the moment thing.I usually just turn my back, cover the camera and wait , while the hail bounces off and all around me. Deciding to Run is by Richmond Fontaine, sometimes I'll run to a cliff or cave .
Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it, photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are :-)
