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.
I have been away for a few weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia. When I got back I went to Canberra, a 600km round trip, to specifically look for Flame Robins and was lucky enough to get this lovely fellow. This is my first Flame Robin!
Taken for the group #MacroMondays - theme #Flame
An interesting challenge this one, what to take and how to get as close as possible without damaging my camera! I settled on a wax tealight candle with a brushed aluminium background that gives a flame effect behind the candle flame itself.

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” Bruce Lee
There are many "eternal flames" around the world, but the one in Chestnut Ridge Park here in NY is special for a few reasons. Typically, eternal flames are fueled by extremely hot, ancient rocks buried beneath the earth's surface. In Chestnut Ridge, these rocks aren't hot enough to create our beloved flame. Instead, there is a natural seep of ethane and propane gases--the highest concentration of these gases in any seep in the world, it seems. More interesting yet is the juxtaposition of Chestnut Ridge's eternal flame against a beautiful cascade of water. It is said that Native Americans were the first to light this waterfall aflame thousands of years ago!
Put on a fire the other night & the flame designs reminded me of hot violin music! LoL! Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who are celebrating... have a green beer on me =)
This fire was kindled with a flame from a Cherokee Council fire that has been burning in Oklahoma since 1838. The original fire was taken to Oklahoma when the Cherokee Nation was removed west over the infamous "Trail of Tears".
In May 1951, four Eastern band of Cherokee Tribal leaders from the Qualla Boundary, North Carolina, retraced that trail of heartbreak and brought live coals from the Oklahoma fire.
The Eternal Flame here at the Mountainside Theatre was kindled from the century old Oklahoma fire on June, 23, 1951.
May this fire burn eternally as a symbol of the strength of the Cherokee People and may it honor those Cherokee who have gone before.
Got a little too close for comfort for this photo, however I feel the heat and risk of camera damage was worth it!
“The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.” ― George Carlin.

These photos were taken at my friend's trailer late summer this year. It was for another photography project. I had my camera on slow shutter and moved it around in random patterns. They all turned out fairly well. The last one ended up being in the shape of a cross - entirely unintentional mind you... it's pretty crazy!

Natural gas sweeps through the rocks of a waterfall in western New York. Despite the waterfall rolling down the cliff, this fire stays lit. The image in winter is even more mind-blowing...water, ice and fire all in one unique natural phenomenon.
