This extended tessellation of the '4-Butterflies' is related to the 'Extended open connection 5'. So I call this new one: 'Extended Open Connection 7'.

Folded from an orange sheet of glassine, hexagon 33cm, grid 1:96.

If you want to see the progress of my 'Connection-tesselations', click here for the album, where you can see my other tessellations, all based on my "Butterfly-molecule", that underlies these tessellations.

The Gepatschferner is the second largest glacier in Austria. After a very nice hike, we stood at the foot of this glacier, which extends to an altitude of around 3,500m. In a short moment, the sun managed to displace the fog a little.

This image combines 21\2 hours exposure time from 2020 and 3 hours imaging time earlier in 2021. By combining the 2 photos together reveals a deeper image, the feint gas below the main galaxy M51 is seen extending the full width of the galaxy into interstellar space, which was not visible in the separate photos.

The interacting smaller galaxy is clearly overwhelmed by the gravitational force of the main galaxy, gas dust and stars being stripped out, asunder.

Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end

I used the fish-eye mode on my PowerShot for this Tiger Lily in my garden.

It was easier for me to make than to find them in the house.

Have a great week ahead and thank you for visiting.

HMM!

HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday!

Strong nor'easter winds drove out the river the other day and ended with a pretty sunset.

Al heel vaak geprobeerd om dit baltsgedrag vast te leggen maar altijd op te grote afstand. Nu met 700mm en een flinke crop is het eindelijk gelukt. Lager standpunt was hier helaas niet mogelijk.

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present. Marianne Williamson

A view taken further back from the falls is sometimes a better option.

A break from the images, from Tenerife.

This was taken from the bedroom window the distance this is at would normally be too far, however I was advised to purchase a x2 extender. The combination of the R5 x2 ext and the 500 f/4, this is the result, the light wasn't the best so a bit of noise, but I feel this is a great shot. I don't actually have any images of a Dunnock singing so a result all round. Its singing from our Plum Tree :)

Thanks to all who view and comment on my images, much appreciated :)

Extending the shutter to get that spinning motion.

Extension rings as nature morte. Setup night in my local photo club.

I apologize for the long absence. Turns out, flickr is inaccessible in China. Who knew?

Male - right - Female - left side. The Red-necked Tanager is a beautiful tanager, with mainly bright grass green underparts; a brilliant scarlet-red chin that broadens over the cheeks, neck, and nape; a dark blue crown and throat; and orange-yellow wing-coverts. The species is restricted to eastern South America; it is almost endemic to eastern Brazil, but the distribution also extends to adjacent eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. This couple was visiting the feeders of Sítio Espinheiro Negro, São Paulo, Brazil.

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Lend a poor old woman a wee hand, dearie.

Yes, this is the largest lake in Italy, Lago di Garda, with crystal clear waters and with this beautiful tone that enchants tourists from all over the world.

It extends over an area of about 370 km² at an altitude of 65 meters above sea level. The lake has five islands, and several cities around it, as well as Lake Como.

Sirmione, the so-called Pearl of Garda, is a charming town that draws attention for its thermal waters and Roman ruins. But it also has freshwater beaches bathed by the famous lake and a historic center with monuments that so enchant us in Italy.

Special mention has to be made for the Castle Scaligero, built between the 13th and 14th centuries and very well preserved. The castle has a 37-meter high tower that provides one of the best views of the landscape.

Atlantic Royal Flycatcher - male - Vulnerable - Royal Flycatcher is very widespread, with a distribution that extends from southern Mexico south to the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Throughout this broad area, Royal Flycatcher inhabits the lower levels of humid evergreen or deciduous forests, although it also ranges into mature second growth, and edges. Royal Flycatcher exhibits notable geographic variation across this range, and so some authors recognize as many as four species of royal flycatcher: a northern species that occurs from Mexico to northern Colombia and northern Venezuela; a Pacific species (occidentalis) that is restricted to southwestern Ecuador and adjacent Peru; an Amazonian species, which is widespread in northern and central South America east of the Andes; and an Atlantic species (swainsoni), that occurs only in southeastern Brazil. Two of these populations, occidentalis and swainsoni, are potentially at risk of extinction. All of these taxa are flycatchers with a long bill and tail; the plumage is mostly brown, with a rufous or ochraceous tail. The most notable feature of Royal Flycatcher is the long ornate crest, which is red to orange (paler in females), with black and blue spotting. This crest usually is recumbent, giving the flycatcher a distinctive "hammerhead" appearance. When fully erect, however, the crest also is flared laterally; although it is rare to see the crest erected in a free flying Royal Flycatcher, these birds are well known for fanning the crest when held in the hand, while rhythmicaly swaying the head from side to side. The nest of Royal Flycatcher is a very long, sack like structure suspended from a slender branch or vine, and frequently is placed over a stream (or a small clearing) in the forest. Birds of The World.

The Atlantic Royal Flycatcher raises its fan very rarely. It took me more than 3 hours observing this individual to get this photo. I can say it was my Christmas gift.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas full of love, peace and joy!

The absence of black in the throat, and central chest points to a first fall female. Adult males will typically have black up to beneath the beak, and first fall males look a lot like adult females having some black in the throat, and central chest which doesn't extend to below the beak.
