This painted wall is desperately in need of a new maintenance ;-))
Happy Macro Monday and a wonderful week ahead, everyone!
For the Macro Mondays theme: 'Painted'.
This little fellow was running around as if he or she was trying to find their child in the colony. Photographed in Antarctica.
Hello? Anyone seen a Jedi Master here? Short little green tinged fella, hairy ears, speaks in riddles does he.
The ruin of Landshut Castle on the hill on the left was just visible behind thick mist. I was desperate to find a space to park and take a few shots. 20 minutes later when I did find a spot on the outskirts, the mist was clearing, I just had time for a quick shot but the memory of the mist over the town and the vineyards lingers on till next time when I'll plan it better.
The castle itself dates from 1277 but was destroyed by a fire in 1692.
Taken a few weeks ago, I couldn't see what was stopping it fall. Enlargement revealed that it was spider's web.
Call for desperate measures, if you're a Swainson's hawk at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. It really did eat the bug!

This is an emotional image for me any time I see it but right now with all that is going on I find myself more emotional than ever. This beautiful Canada goose frantically flew over me several times going back and forth. It appears to have lost it's mate. It was squawking in a frantic manner until it flew out of my sight then I would hear it coming back over me doing the same thing time and time again. Geese possess a veritably human capacity for grief. Their feelings and emotions are far less different from us than you assume. Quite literally, humans, a dog, and a goose hang their heads, lose their appetites, and become indifferent to all stimuli emanating from the environment. For grief-striken human beings, as well as for geese, one effect is that they become outstandingly vulnerable to accidents; they tend to fly into high-tension cables or fall prey to predators because of their reduced alertness.
There have been reports of pair bonds that are so strong that if one goose is shot down by a hunter, the partner will circle back. Drawn by its need to stay with its lifelong companion, the single goose will often ignore the sound of shooting and return to die with its mate.
In The Pig Who Sang To The Moon, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson writes about a goose who had a broken wing. During the fall migration, as other geese flew south, her gander accompanied her by air and by foot. She was going to walk south since she was unable to fly. He would not leave her, so after flying for a few hundred yards, he would stop and wait for her to catch up. He would call to her with his wildest, most piercing cry, urging her to spread her wings and fly with him to their distant home. He accompanied her until she was killed by carrion eagles and he had to continue his journey alone.
Widowed geese have been observed circling around and around, crying in heartrending sorrowful tones when their partners die or are shot by hunters. The remaining goose may mourn for a period of time and then mate again. Or they may mourn for the rest of their lives and never seek another mate. Just as with people, it varies with individual geese.....Choo Choo Rosenbloom
So I stood in the field with this knowledge and wept as she or he kept flying over me and frantically calling for their mate. It's an incredibly sad thing to witness.
Everyone please be safe. Thinking of you all.
Rainbow Basin Natural Area, near Barstow, California.
I overcooked the colors a bit to bring out the texture. Quite a nice place to spend a day exploring the area.
[Confrontation with Death Crab]
Death Crab was so much stronger than I expected.
His special move, "Bleach bubbles," caused some of my reinforced cyber costume to show through and my sword to melt.
When I thought, "I'm done for!😣", The voice echoed.
"Hey you!!! Kinky crab!!! Hold on a sec!!!"
to be continued ,,, maybe ,,, lol

If anything called Hope and it's true ........
Then I believe in Life .......
(A desperate mother from Rakhine state, Myanmar)
Excuse me for a while
While I'm wide-eyed
And I'm so damn caught in the middle
I excused you for a while
While I'm wide-eyed
And I'm so damn caught in the middle
And a lion, a lion roars, would you not listen?
If a child, a child cries, would you not forgive them?
Yeah I might seem so strong
Yeah I might speak so long
I've never been so wrong
Yeah I might seem so strong
Yeah I might speak so long
I've never been so wrong
I was so desperate to escape the rat race, so desperate to find some meaning to life, I never really took the time in advance to consider what living up here would be like. I just went. Didn't look back. Escaped.
Now, after more than a year, I feel at home more than I could have anticipated. Letting my Highlander blood flow freely through my veins again.And now we are seeing the place in winter, I realise it is more beautiful than I originally thought. Not much makes you feel at one with the world than noticing a deer watching you, almost peering over your shoulder. I feel very grateful to friends and family who make me feel this good because a year and a half ago I was totally miserable, lost and lonely. Covid and WFH ate at my soul like a maggot in the core of an apple. To the point where I wondered if it was worth going on.

Ever worked on a multi-billion-dollar top-secret industrial project protected by layers of security in a corporate high-rise, on the 33rd floor, only to discover there is a man with dark sunglasses and a grin dangling outside your window, giving you the thumbs up?
Here we see an industrial spy desperately trying to get hold of our technology for the fantastic SPECTRA-VISION-9000 (TM), now only $99.99 for limited time.
We feel sorry for this gentleman. His name is Harry and we bought him an ice cream. All our top-secret research facilities are underground and on different planets, and also in another dimension. You wouldn't want to mess with our Chief of Security, the Great Googamooga. Trust us on this.

Every year, the garden spiders weave thousands of webs in one last act of desperation to catch any insects that may still be out and about..I found this one loaded with raindrops spun in the moss on the olive tree.
