Hot Rods with Flames
View allAll Photos Tagged flame
The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.

Ramphocelus flammigerus -female-
(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.

Flame Robin, Petroica phoenicea
≠==================≠
We have only had a limited success this year with the winter visiting Robin flocks. Perhaps we were not looking in the right places. Perhaps they have wanted to explore new areas on their pilgramage down from the high country.
This male was feeding along the mown area beside a roadway, and as vehicles drove past, he'd fly back to a bushy area.
Fortunately for me, he came back onto ta branch near where I was standing.

Nefekalum's fab new materials tattoo, Medusa's Gaze, reminded me a lot of the Japanese art of Kintsuku - especially with the gold in the gaps of the cracks. I added cinphul's carnal headpiece [I turned it upside down for a different look] and completed the entire outfit with various pieces for that otherworldly Mage look. Yes, the diet is going well...

Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.

I hope you enjoy.
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.

Mikado, also known as pick-up-sticks or jackstraws, is a game of skill of European origin that, at least according to (German) Wikipedia, was already played in ancient Rome. It is named after the highest scoring stick (blue), the "Mikado", which refers to the Japanese emperor.
This is a slightly different, new type of Mikado, and its rules are simple: clear the game board without tossing the burning candle over or lighting the "active" playing candles in the process, and do it before the red candle burns down (which happens quite fast with these thin candles).
Initially, I wanted to build a much larger Mikado pile with more candles, but they kept rolling away, so I focused on creating a nice-looking pile instead.
Size info: Each candle (except the lit red one, which I cut in half) is 6 cm/2,36 inches long, so together with the negative space (I also slightly cropped the image), the width is about 2,75 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
