A Flame Skimmer stopped for a brief moment to rest on the end of a Yucca plant! It is fun to watch them zip around the yard catching insects.

"Thank you very much for all your faves and stay healthy" :-)

I'm standing by the lake, it had been snowing all day and night before. Leaving home, the sky was cloudy and gray, I wanted to photograph the monotony of our winter. When I was taking photos in the middle of the forest in the previous place, I noticed that there is a bit of red in the sky. I hurried as fast as possible on the snowy path to the shore of the lake to watch the tearing of the cloud cover and the colors of the setting sun. The sky seemed to be on fire and so was I lol as I watched and photographed this spectacle.

A panorama of four photos. In the afternoon, the sun set at 15:51. Finland.

(Flame-rumped Tanager / Toche)

This mom is now taking care of its offspring in the nest. For that reason her feathers appear as "messy".

The Flame-rumped Tanager occurs from western Panama south through Colombia to western Ecuador. This is a sociable bird, being typically found in monospecific flocks, which inhabit shrubby semi-open areas.

I chose this photo for MM theme as symbol of our lives at the mercy of COVID pandemic.

Beside the EXIF info you can find for this photo, I used also a ND filter to lower the shutter speed and increase the trembling effect.

It wasn't an easy task this week. After several different approaches, attempts and smoke detectors going off, I finally decided to roll up paper in a tealight holder and simply burn the paper - this is the result. Edited in On 1 Photo Raw 2020 and Topaz Adjust.

Das war keine einfache Aufgabe diese Woche. Nach mehreren Methoden, Versuchen und Rauchmelder Aktivationen, habe ich letztendlich Papier zusammengerollt in einen Teelichthalter gesteckt und verbrannt. Das ist, was ihr hier jetzt seht. Bearbeitet in On 1 Photo Raw und Topaz Adjust.

INTO THE MYSTIC – VAN MORRISON

Happy Valentine's Day

You are the flame that lights up my heart

you are the warmth that holds me so I'm not alone in the dark

you are the reason I carry on every day

you are the sunshine that casts every sunrise my way

you are the one who lets me be me

you are the stars, the moon and the sea

you are the light shining bright in the night

you are the comfort that eases my plight

you are the one whose arms I want near me

you are the one whose charms still endear me

you are the one who inhabits my dreams

you are the one who stitches my seams

you are the one who keeps me from falling apart

you are the one who deserves all of my heart

Every day I swim; my life flows like a stream

every night I meet you in the land of my dreams

every life has a meaning and a means to go on

every heart may lay waiting for a love; for a song

I know what is real; I know what is not

but I'm happy to daydream; to feel; love a lot

in the blink of an eye we will fall into dust

but I carry you with me; in love I still trust

nothing detracts from a true loving heart

nothing subtracts though we are forever apart

I know I'm romantic; I know I'm a fool

let us be wrapped in my romance; let me give you my all

Happy Valentine's Day from my heart to yours

I will love you forever and forever be yours.

It's pouring rain, stifling and blowing the dog off the chain — time to bring the photographic subject indoors. The hibiscus season is almost over and the flowers are withered, wet and shredded. But wait, there in the dense shrub there's one. Quickly cut, remove insects, stick stem into some water in a wine bottle. Open the curtains wide, set the flower, camera and tripod up, and forget there's another night and day of boisterous La Nina weather. And here it is, the last flame hibiscus of the summer.
