Definitely Dreaming - In the mirror Very behind with this one but at last here it is. Two slow shutter images taken through the wing mirror and blended. I was a passenger.
HMM... the theme for today, 12/23, is "Best with Holidays is…" translucent butterflies (ornament)...
i had the glass dove in the group pool at first (see first comment box), but got thinking that it might not be under 3 inches and when i double checked it was a little over. this one is definitely under.
Definitely one of my favorite birds, not only because it is incredibly cute and very friendly, but also because it is a very caring and loving bird.
From the paridae family, (same as the chickadee) they have a very peculiar way of taking care of their young, usually with the help of one of their offsprings from the previous year. How do they decide who stays behind to help is simply fascinating to me!
If you want to know more about this bird, this site has very interesting facts:

And the look, it is the look of love for peanuts and sunflower seeds!
If you don’t know your cardinal from your titmouse, just remember this sound: " Peter, peter peter", and that will be your titmouse ;)

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!
Martha,
Our resident hospital cat, Alexander Hamilton, has about the cushiest life ever. He definitely finds great places to nap.
I can't thank my Flickr friends and fellow Happy Caturday group members enough for all your kind thoughts, comments and messages about Jimmy. This has been a hard week for my parents and it's hard for me being so far from home and not having my support shadow around. I miss him terribly but I have lots and lots of happy memories. Thank you again.

45:52 Recreate a famous photograph – one that you greatly admire.
Ok, so I don't have a 'famous' photo in mind here, but definitely one I greatly admire !!
Her style & collection of miniatures is second to none, so that's what I chose to recreate....one of Monique's mini's.
This ones for you Monique, hope I did you justice & thanks for being such an inspiration.
I've missed a few weeks from last years challenge, but I'm still hoping to catch up.
Spotted this cloud one early morning at the Leonsberg dock while waiting to go for a Guiana Dolphin research trip (www.greenfundsuriname.org/nl/dolphins) on the Suriname River. I almost missed it because I was watching a beautiful sunrise. Don't you think it looks like a jumping dolphin or two dolphins sticking their heads out of the water? Either way, I think it's definitely dolphin shaped!
There seems to be some wish to see it the other way up. Personally I don't really think it works. The point is that it is a refraction and so upside down, and one gets away with imperfections. This one is definitely not perfect enough.

This pumpkin is just over two inches wide, so my skills were definitely not up to a traditional carving, at least under the close scrutiny of a macro lens!
Definitely one of the more colorful power sets in Michigan since PTC has started running full swing came to us on the still somewhat new L500 job. Slowing down preparing to work Durand, 3 predecessor railroads are still represented as they pass under the bridge at Newberry Rd. west of town.
The Definitely Dreaming week four theme, and the MCF 52 Week Challenge Week 5 theme, are both "Food".
I'm not really into food photography, so I decided to go the bird route, this diligent parent Sacred Kingfisher has found a nice juicy grub to take back to the nest.

...there's a secure vaccine against Covid-19? I wish it would happen so soon. What definitely is guaranteed, though, is that from today it's 45 days until Christmas Eve :) And whether you celebrate or not, I'm sure that on everybody's wishlist is also a vaccine.
I had little – or rather no – other choice for "Puzzle" but this Ravensburger Christmas bauble jigsaw puzzle ball, because I don't own any other puzzles. I love to play Adventure games, and puzzles are a part of the gaming routine, but real life puzzles? Nil. So back to the bauble: It depicts a cosy forest Christmas scene with lots of snow, a starry blue hour sky, a Christmas tree (of course) and the forest animals – such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, birds – gathering around various feeders; in short it depicts almost everything that makes you go "Aaawwwww!" when you think of Christmas (please see the fourth comment to see the whole bauble) :) At first I really didn't know how to photograph this pretty puzzle ball in an interesting way. But then I thought "I puzzled it together, so I can also take it apart again, let's take a look inside." What looked like a fragile construction consisting of 60 parts (diameter of the ball: 7 cm / 2,7 inches, the small round parts which you can see here each have a diameter of 4 mm / 0,15 inches) proved to be very sturdy and definitely "take-apart-resistant", but in the end I succeeded to pull out one piece from the starry blue hour sky.
On the inside, the pieces are white, of course, but they are also numbered, and at first I thought I'd pick piece No 1, but then I remembered that I'd already shot numbers on a toy piece for "one Color", so I looked for a nice puzzle piece pattern instead and found this star. I secured the backlit puzzle ball between two large pieces of modeling clay to prevent it from rolling away (it had happened a few times in the beginning), and photographed directly through the hole where piece No. 60 had been; the shape of the vignette is the negatice space of missing piece No. 60.
The photo is a single 40 MP High-Res mode shot, and I had to do a lot of dusting and fuzz removal. Those dark spots, however, are part of the plastic pieces, so I didn't remove them all. Processed in Topaz DeNoise AI ("Low Light" mode at N: 7, S: 67, R: 3, CN 14), Luminar 4 (Detail enhancement – small at 79, medium at 41, large at 3), Viveza and Analog Efex.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and take care!
Noch 45 Tage bis... zu einem sicheren Covid-19-Impfstoff für alle? Schön wär's. Was wir aber alle ganz sicher in 45 Tagen feiern werden: richtig, Heiligabend :) Und ein sicherer Impfstoff dürfte auch auf jedermanns und jederfraus Wunschzettel stehen. Warum aber dieser Schlenker zu Weihnachten, wenn das Thema doch "Puzzle" ist? Weil das einzige "richtige" Puzzle, das ich im Haus habe, ein Ravensburger "Christmas Puzzle Ball" ist. Bestehend aus 60 erstaunlich fest zusammenhaltenden Puzzleteilen.
Zuerst wusste ich nicht recht, wie ich ihn ansprechend fotografieren sollte; von außen ist er nett anzuschauen, zeigt eine Weihnachtswaldszene mit viel Schnee, einem Sternenhimmel, natürlich einer geschmückten Tanne und vielen Tieren, darunter Rotwild, Eichhörnchen, Hasen und vielen Vögeln, die sich an diversen Futterkrippen zum Weihnachtsschmaus eingefunden haben. So weit, so hübsch. Aber ob das ein spannendes Foto ergeben würde? Also dachte ich mir, ich entferne mal eines der Puzzleteile und schaue hinein. Die Rückseite der Puzzleteile ist weiß und jedes trägt eine Nummer. Zunächst habe ich auch auf die Nummern fokussiert, genauer auf Teil Nr. 1, aber dann fiel mir wieder ein, dass ich bereits für "one Colour" vor zwei Wochen die winzigen Nummern auf einem Spielzeugteil fotografiert hatte. Deshalb habe ich dann nach einem interessanten Puzzlemuster Ausschau gehalten – und fand diesen Stern.
Von hinten beleuchtet (und die Kugel mit zwei Stücken Bastelknete fixiert, weil sie anfangs immer wegrollte) und direkt durch das Loch, das Puzzleteil Nr. 60 hinterlassen hat, hindurchfotografiert. Die Ränder der Vignette sind also der negative Raum des fehlenden Puzzleteilchens. Ich musste ganz schön viele Fussel in PS entfernen; die dunklen Pünktchen sind aber in den Plastikteilchen drin, also habe ich nicht alle von ihnen weggestempelt. Entwickelt in Topaz DeNoise AI ("Low Light" Modus, N: 7, S: 67, R: 3, CN 14), Luminar 4 (Detailverbesserung, klein: 79, mittel: 41, groß 3), Viveza und Analog Efex.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, bleibt gesund!
Definitely a clichè photo but still pretty!
Thanks for views, favs and comments, much appreciated 😊
Definitely too big, the cormorant was not able to swallow the fish.
Definitivement trop gros, le cormoran n'a pas pu avaler le poisson.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I? I
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can't I? I
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Definitely a tough little falcon...so..so fast !
Great Swamp NWR, NJ
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking
Definitely no doubt about it, where this shopkeeper found his inspiration ;-)))
It is on the main road towards Matsumoto Castle, Matsumoto City, Nagano, Japan.
For the Definitely Dreaming week 31 of 52 theme of "From Above", I photographed this yellow Chrysanthemum flower from above.
Definitely a more "modern" style windmill that was actually advertised as being more aerodynamic and efficient. Puts the modern wind turbines to shame,more esthetically pleasing for sure....
Hope everyone enjoyed their day-Happy Windmill Wednesday!
For the Definitely Dreaming week 43 theme of "Weather" I present this photo of two survivors of the recent couple of days of gale force winds Melbourne has had.
The gum tree scar you see here was where a huge branch used to be, a victim of the winds.
The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo was a survivor, sadly the same cannot be said of some of the nesting birds that were in neighbouring trees.
Also my second last post for the October photo-a-day challenge.
For Definitely Dreaming week 33 of 52 theme of "Glass". This is the bottom of one of our decorative glass bowls in close-up. The colours and bokeh resulted from lighting it with a small LED video light panel.
Up Close for Definitely Dreaming week 13
There were 4 bluebells in flower last week in the woods which is very early in the year. But it was springtime here in the UK - It has now gone back to winter.

Definitely Dreaming - Week 50 Something New
Still keeping with my beach theme, and it's a ..... New Day :)
I was on the beach for sunrise, but, there was a thick bank of cloud on the horizon, so this is a bit after sunrise, just as the sun was rising above the clouds.
Rothenburg is one of the best preserved medieval villages in Germany and is also probably one the most touristy! I was lucky enough to visit May 04-05 so was on the early shoulder season and had some room to shoot picture without tripping over people. The city has parking outside the old walls for tourists and it is definitely less hassle than trying to drive around in this compact lovely place. This city gate scene was taken walking on my way to the Hotel Zum Breiterle to check in with my D750 and my trusty Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2.
OLEG:
Hello Peter....what are you looking at?
PETER:
I'm watching to see if the Christmas bear is coming
Do you think he has read my wish list Oleg?
I would really like a wooden train and a pink tutu and a bottle of rosewater to give to my princess Rosie and.... and....chocolate...and...and....
I'm so nervous Oleg. Suppose he forgets me
OLEG:
He has definitely read your wish list Peter!
The Christmas bear doesn't forget anyone....including you.
This Aldabra Giant Tortoise, photographed at Melbourne Zoo, is my entry for the Definitely Dreaming week 12 theme of "Slowly".
