Two views of the same subject, taken with different apertures. Both to wish you a Merry Christmas, on this Christmas Eve 2014. The subject is a repurposed Mason jar, filled with Christmas shinies. Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends. Life is better, richer, fuller for knowing you all. Some of you have kept me sane and on track. Well, sanity is relative, as well as overrated. lol Have a great time with family and friends.

When You are different... And Strange...
You are not understood from the people....
And You are left alone....
To fight with everything by Yourself...
To learn.. only from Your mistakes....
And there is no one to help You...
To rise You... when You are fallen...
To give You a smile... When You are sad....
There is no Love...
No warmth....
It is You... Only You....
There... on the Cold....
I know... :) The last step... That goes out from the picture...Somebody would say that, is not suppose to be there... :)
But that step, has e meaning...
… When You are rejected from the crowd... and you are leaving...You are stopping for a moment... And hoping someone to say... “Hey... I Need You...”
And this music will help You to go thru the picture...A music... that I love a lot... :)
Star clusters are common structures throughout the Universe, each made up of hundreds of thousands of stars all bound together by gravity. This star-filled image, taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), shows one of them: NGC 1866.
NGC 1866 is found at the very edges of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy located near to the Milky Way. The cluster was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop, who catalogued thousands of stars and deep-sky objects during his career.
However, NGC 1866 is no ordinary cluster. It is a surprisingly young globular cluster situated close enough to us that its stars can be studied individually — no mean feat given the mammoth distances involved in studying the cosmos! There is still debate over how globular clusters form, but observations such as this have revealed that most of their stars are old and have a low metallicity. In astronomy, ‘metals’ are any elements other than hydrogen and helium; since stars form heavier elements within their core as they carry out nuclear fusion throughout their lifetimes, a low metallicity indicates that a star is very old, as the material from which it formed was not enriched with many heavy elements. It’s possible that the stars within globular clusters are so old that they were actually some of the very first to form after the Big Bang.
In the case of NGC 1866, though, not all stars are the same. Different populations, or generations, of stars are thought to coexist within the cluster. Once the first generation of stars formed, the cluster may have encountered a giant gas cloud that sparked a new wave of star formation and gave rise to a second, younger, generation of stars — explaining why it seems surprisingly youthful.

In the struggle of life some are comrades and some are generals. Only their advantages make them different. Some grows up in joyful environment, and some are in loneliness and struggle
Mal wieder ein Foto, das eure Fantasie aktivieren könnte.
Morgen werde ich euch verraten was es ist, was ihr seht....aber was assoziiert ihr mit diesem Bild? Vielleicht sieht jeder etwas anderes darin oder alle das gleiche?
Einen fantasievollen, frohen Tag wünsche ich euch!
Once again I upload a photo which could activate your imagination.
Tomorrow I'll tell you what it is, what you see .... but what you associated with this picture? Maybe everyone sees something different in it or do we see the same?
I wish you a fanciful, joyful day!
ICH DANKE EUCH HERZLICH FÜR EURE KOMMENTARE !!!
In meiner Fantasie sehe ich in den Atemkien einen Teil eines Freundeskreises aus Ton.
Ich widme euch dieses Foto mit dem "Freundeskreis"
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS !!!
In my imagination I see in the roots a part of a circle of friends of clay.
I dedicate this photo of the "Friends" to YOU ALL(who can see it, smiles)

I believe this is a Sedge Frog but there are a few different varieties and as it was siting tight, I couldn't quite see all its markings to be certain. This information is from the Sunshine Coast Council.
The flower is a beautiful big Lotus.
"As a place to start I cast my eye around my own suburban garden. My gaze falls to a tiny pale brown frog, barely more than a centimetre long, sitting silently atop the fronds of a fishbone fern Nephrolepis cordifolia (yes, it's a weed – I have, after all, never claimed to be a good gardener) (image 1). Many coastal residents will be familiar with the high-pitched ‘cr-e-e-e-k’ or ‘cr-e-e-e-k pip’ of the eastern sedge frog Litoria fallax, and that is indeed the delightful little frog that is hiding among the fishbone ferns.
There are a number of physical features that distinguish the eastern sedge frog from superficially similar coastal species, including a dark band between the eye and nostril, a white jaw stripe and usually orange inner thighs as seen in the photo at right (image 2). However, the general body colour can vary widely from fawn to green and multiple combinations of those two colours, likely influenced by temperature and colour of surroundings. Occasionally unusual variations can occur, such as the frog to the right who was living in a shallow black-lined garden pond (image 3). Usually, however, colour variations shown in images 4 – 12 are more typical.
If you live near a pond or lake you have probably heard the cheerful chorus of males throughout spring and summer, which often intensifies before and after rain. During this time, competition between males for prime calling positions on vegetation can become intense and it is not unusual to see two males wrestling and jostling for occupation of the highest spot on emergent vegetation.
Female eastern sedge frogs lay their eggs in a series of small clusters, each containing up to 35 eggs. After 10 – 15 seconds the female will move to a new location and start the process again. Males cup their feet around each cluster to fertilise them after laying. Researchers have recorded females laying as many as nine clusters in the space of 28 minutes. Usually this process results in around 200-300 eggs in multiple clusters but can be result in as many as 1,300 from a single female. After fertilisation, the egg cluster will either adhere to vegetation or sink into the water, where they will hatch after three to five days.
Along with graceful tree frogs Litoria gracilenta, eastern sedge frogs frequently become accidental travellers huddled in banana bunches and other plants and produce. However, while this little frog might be one of our backyard treasures, its arrival in new areas can increase the risk of disease if they are released into other native frog populations."

Thanks to Fleur Walton for the tip.
Photo shoot a few weeks ago - went for some cheeky military outfits (and a different uniform which I won't mention here yet). First four with Sergeant Martini of the British Army......
The forever beautiful and enchanting Kelly Hall tarn at sunset. Love the trees at the tarn, so many composition potential.
All along the edge of the steep and some what daunting Dunkirk Hill is a population of Common Spotted Orchids from Boughton to the top. Not my favourite hill to cycle up but the rewards are well worth it!
Same sunset, different composition. Even after days, still appreciated the beauty of mother nature a lot.
