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.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

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.

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.

Shot for Smile on Saturday! :-), Heart on Fire
How I made it: The paper heart I learned how to make via a TikTok video. It is held with a clothes pin that I blacked out with a marker. The camera is pointed at a slight up angle to not capture the top of the white votive candle about 2 inches behind the heart. In addition to the candle light, it is front lit from below with my cell phone light for about half the exposure.

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.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #Flame
Happy Macro Monday!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!
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.
Dryas iulia (often incorrectly spelled julia), commonly called the Julia butterfly, Julia heliconian, the flame, or flambeau, is a species of brush-footed (or nymphalid) butterfly. The sole representative of its genus Dryas, it is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Over 15 subspecies have been described. (Source: Wikipedia)

Peter and Jenny's (along our street) Flame Tree is currently flowering.
The flower measures 15 mm across.
Happy Macro Monday!
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.
Click on the photo to view it large and better see the amazing details.

We took a walk to Heather Farm Reserve, aka "The Swamp," yesterday and expected nothing. That's what we got save for the first damselfly of the year. That's still too early because we still have very cool mornings. The damsel was a solid black, and I couldn't identify her. The water's too low and she won't find a mater, so I'm afraid her above water life span will be less than three weeks.
This is NOT a damsel, but a Flame Skimmer Dragonfly, our most frequent flier and the one I'll be looking for to know that the season is truly open. As I walk around the lake with a camera, people assume that I know something, and the most frequent question is not about birds, but dragonflies. I'm going to have to start brushing up for this year. I certainly have the time.
