My wife planted lavender some years ago and now the plant is thriving and huge. It smells really good and bees love it. All day long, there is activity on the lavender, which makes it a good place to practice insect macros. But it ain't easy. Bees do not remain on one flower for very long, so there is a certain amount of luck involved in achieving focus and clicking off a shot before the busy yellow and black critter flies off to the next flower. Of roughly 500 shots, this was the only one that I felt was sharp enough to keep. And even then, it's not a good shot in terms of its composition. I just have to keep at it, I guess.
A portrait in different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. How we appear is just a question of light.
The first one (left) is infrared, we can't see it with our eyes. The picture in the middle is normal light, as we see our daily world. The last one (right) is ultraviolet, it is as well a color which is beyond the limits of the human vision.
Works are currently under way for the extension and restoration of Ardmore House, UCD. The Project consists of the construction of a two storey extension integrated into the existing, adjoining Ardmore House Building, a protected structure with significant heritage value and we are in collaboration with UCD, RKD Architects, ARUP, Linesight, Garland, David Slattery Conservation Architects and Mitchell and Associates.

This picture was taken in Dayton, Ohio at Cox Arboretum on the inside with my 135mm lens + 20mm Extension tube along with a density filter. Better view in Light box for detail on pedals.
As always thank you for your lovely comments.
I was playing around with the shell extensions, and came upon this. There's enough room to fit various Technic connectors through the gap.

Is it bad I'm too lazy to go back and fix the grammar? haha.
Anyway, here is another nail tutorial. This time for press on nail extensions! This is easier than it looks, but it does take time and is a little tedious. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
"City gate, one of three preserved gates, two-story solid building with gate passage, half-timbered gable and gable roof, with eastern extension, core around 1434, top floor demolished in the 19th century, 1876.
Eibelstadt is a town in the Würzburg district of Lower Franconia and the seat of the Eibelstadt administrative community. It is the smallest city in Bavaria in terms of area.
The wine town on the Main is located in close proximity to the university town of Würzburg. Eibelstadt is located in the Lower Franconia administrative district of the Main Franconia region and in the Würzburg district. The Franconian Marienweg leads through Eibelstadt.
The founding dates back to the year 787. During the time of the tribal duchies, the place was in the Duchy of Franconia. In 1434, Emperor Sigismund granted the town of Eibelstadt (also known as “Ifelstat” in the 14th century) city rights after Eibelstadt citizens had successfully supported him in the war against the Hussites. After secularization in 1803 in favor of Bavaria, the former winery of the Würzburg Cathedral Chapter of the Bishopric of Würzburg was given to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany in 1805 to form the Grand Duchy and with this it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814. As part of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.
Lower Franconia (German: Unterfranken) is one of seven districts of Bavaria, Germany. The districts of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia make up the region of Franconia. It consists of nine districts and 308 municipalities (including three cities).
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganised and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke, singular Regierungsbezirk), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Untermainkreis (Lower Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Untermainkreis changed to Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg, but the city name was dropped in the middle of the 20th century, leaving just Lower Franconia.
From 1933, the regional Nazi Gauleiter, Otto Hellmuth, (who had renamed his party Gau "Mainfranken") insisted on renaming the government district Mainfranken as well. He encountered resistance from Bavarian state authorities but finally succeeded in having the name of the district changed, effective 1 June 1938. After 1945 the name Unterfranken was restored.
Franconia (German: Franken, pronounced [ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍]; Franconian: Franggn [ˈfrɑŋɡŋ̍]; Bavarian: Frankn) is a region of Germany, characterised by its culture and Franconian dialect (German: Fränkisch).
Franconia is made up of the three Regierungsbezirke of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia in Bavaria, the adjacent, Franconian-speaking, South Thuringia, south of the Thuringian Forest—which constitutes the language boundary between Franconian and Thuringian— and the eastern parts of Heilbronn-Franconia in Baden-Württemberg.
Those parts of the Vogtland lying in Saxony (largest city: Plauen) are sometimes regarded as Franconian as well, because the Vogtlandian dialects are mostly East Franconian. The inhabitants of Saxon Vogtland, however, mostly do not consider themselves as Franconian. On the other hand, the inhabitants of the Hessian-speaking parts of Lower Franconia west of the Spessart (largest city: Aschaffenburg) do consider themselves as Franconian, although not speaking the dialect. Heilbronn-Franconia's largest city of Heilbronn and its surrounding areas are South Franconian-speaking, and therefore only sometimes regarded as Franconian. In Hesse, the east of the Fulda District is Franconian-speaking, and parts of the Oden Forest District are sometimes regarded as Franconian for historical reasons, but a Franconian identity did not develop there.
Franconia's largest city and unofficial capital is Nuremberg, which is contiguous with Erlangen and Fürth, with which it forms the Franconian conurbation with around 1.3 million inhabitants. Other important Franconian cities are Würzburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Ansbach and Coburg in Bavaria, Suhl and Meiningen in Thuringia, and Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
The German word Franken—Franconians—also refers to the ethnic group, which is mainly to be found in this region. They are to be distinguished from the Germanic people of the Franks, and historically formed their easternmost settlement area. The origins of Franconia lie in the settlement of the Franks from the 6th century in the area probably populated until then mainly by the Elbe Germanic people in the Main river area, known from the 9th century as East Francia (Francia Orientalis). In the Middle Ages the region formed much of the eastern part of the Duchy of Franconia and, from 1500, the Franconian Circle. The restructuring of the south German states by Napoleon, after the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, saw most of Franconia awarded to Bavaria." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

The windows and doors on the ground floor have big sunshades.
Both the old cottage and the new extension are painted with traditional red paint that contains pigment from the Swedish copper mine in Falun, Dalecarlia.
The Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) is resident in much of Eurasia. It is sometimes called the European Eagle-Owl and is, in Europe where it is the only member of its genus besides the Snowy Owl (B. scandiacus), occasionally abbreviated to just Eagle-Owl. In India, it is often called the Indian Great Horned Owl, though this may cause confusion with the similarly-named American bird. It is one of the largest species of owls.
