Lesser Tenrec Banksy (female) having a climb. They may be tiny but they are very flexible and love to climb.
Something that looks like an electromagnetic coil on a motherboard, or like a Warp core (an interpretation which I prefer, of course), but is an entirely "analog", very simple, everyday stationery item: A stainless steel pen clip that consists of a strong clip to which a flexible spiral that holds most thinner pencils or pens is attached (so it would have worked for last week's theme as well, but it hadn't been on my radar then). For completeness, I've added a blue aluminium Rotring ballpen that, at some point in its desk life, "lost" its clip (it came loose at some point so I decided to remove it). Colour light helpers were the usual suspects, and I've processed the image in DXO, Color Efex, and Analog Efex, with final touches in LR, which seems to be my preferred processing workflow at the moment.
HMM, everyone, I'll catch up with you tonight!

It was interesting and entertaining to watch the feeding behaviours of both the 'i'iwi and the 'amakihi (endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers). Very flexible necks and often hanging off a branch. They pry flowers (like this māmane) open with their beak, then use their tongue to lap up the sweet liquid at the flower's base.
Das Thyssenkrupp-Hauptquartier, offiziell auch als „thyssenkrupp Quartier“ bezeichnet, ist die Konzernzentrale der Thyssenkrupp AG im Westviertel der Stadt Essen. Das Quartier ist Kern des städtebaulichen Projektes Krupp-Gürtel und steht genau auf dem Grund, auf dem Krupp mit der Gussstahlfabrik in Essen seine Wurzeln hat. Der neue Bürocampus ist ein Ensemble aus verschiedenen Einzelgebäuden, die auf einem „grünen Teppich“ mit Bäumen, verbindenden Wegen und kleinen Plätzen angeordnet sind. Dem Konzern als Auftraggeber war es dabei besonders wichtig, dass sich die Neubauten flexibel an Veränderungsprozesse innerhalb des Unternehmens anpassen lassen. Die Kosten für den ersten Bauabschnitt des Hauptquartiers werden auf über 300 Millionen Euro beziffert.
Das Gebäude Q1 als Hauptgebäude des neuen Campus ist als markanter Hochpunkt auf der zentralen Wasserachse platziert, die dem Gelände seine Struktur verleiht. Neben diesem und weiteren Bürogebäuden gehören eine öffentliche Kita, das Veranstaltungsgebäude Q2, ein Parkhaus und eine Tiefgarage zum Quartier. Der städtebauliche und architektonische Entwurf des Campus steht für Offenheit, Begegnung und Kommunikation – innerhalb des Quartiers und nach außen in die angrenzenden Stadtteile.
The Thyssenkrupp headquarters, also officially known as the “thyssenkrupp Quartier”, is the corporate headquarters of Thyssenkrupp AG in the western quarter of the city of Essen. The quarter is the core of the urban development project Krupp-Gürtel and stands exactly on the ground on which Krupp with the cast steel factory in Essen has its roots. The new office campus is an ensemble of various individual buildings arranged on a “green carpet” with trees, connecting paths and small squares. As the client, it was particularly important to the group that the new buildings could be flexibly adapted to change processes within the company. The costs for the first construction phase of the headquarters are estimated at over 300 million euros.
Building Q1 as the main building of the new campus is placed as a prominent high point on the central water axis, which gives the site its structure. In addition to this and other office buildings, a public day-care center, the Q2 event building, a multi-storey car park and an underground car park are part of the quarter. The urban and architectural design of the campus stands for openness, encounters and communication - within the quarter and to the outside in the neighboring districts.

"Macro Mondays"
"Flexible"
A possibility for the Macro Mondays theme of flexible. There are three possibilities- now to dither, although I’m leaning toward the silver links bracket with the little red heart bead…..
…..Dithering done- decided on this one bc I haven’t had one with a bit of blue for a couple of weeks.. grin
Happy Monday & HMM!
Thanks for your visit, most appreciated.
今日は月曜日、Macro Mondaysの今日のお題は"flexible"（曲げても、元通りになる）ということで親友からもらったマスクホルダーをマスクの上で撮ってみました。
My best friend gave me a flexible mask holder the other day to put on the mask and it is exquisitely convenient when we drink/eat. I gave her a hand gel in this sensitive time. Taken on the mask.

Happy Macro Monday everyone ... these Mondays are rolling around so quickly :)
Here we have the ends of some flower arranging wire, linked together ... tiz very flexible :)))
Per il tema di oggi, ho voluto usare un oggetto di estrema flessibilità scegliendo degli "Slinkies" che con loro movimento intrinseco di grande flessibilità e bellezza sono capaci anche, di creare rifrazione della luce e riflessi in un caleidosco di colori.

The Long-Tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus) is a small, gregarious songbird found across Europe and Asia. Often described as a "flying lollipop" or "tiny ball of fluff," it is easily identified by its distinctive extraordinarily long tail, which accounts for over half its total length (up to 8–9 cm of its 14 cm body).
Key Identification & Physical Traits
Plumage:
A soft mix of white, black, and pink. Most individuals in Western Europe have a white head with broad black "eyebrows," pinkish-white bellies, and pink-dusted shoulders.
Northern Variation:
Subspecies in Northern Europe and Asia often have entirely pure white heads.
Weight:
They are incredibly light, often weighing just 7–10 grams—less than a £1 coin.
Scientific Note:
Despite their name, they are not closely related to the "true" tit family (Paridae, like Great or Blue Tits) but belong to the Aegithalidae family, more closely related to babblers.
Extraordinary Social Behavior
Communal Roosting:
Extremely vulnerable to cold, these birds form tight-knit family flocks of 6–30 individuals during winter. At night, they huddle together in a row on a branch to share body heat, which is essential for their survival.
Cooperative Breeding:
This species is famous for its "altruistic" behavior. If a breeding pair's own nest fails, they often do not try again but instead become "helpers" for a related pair, assisting in feeding and defending the other pair's chicks.
Constant Chattering:
They are highly vocal to maintain contact within their fast-moving flocks, using distinctive "tsee-tsee-tsee" and rattling "tsirrup" calls.
Master Architects: The Nest
The Long-tailed Tit builds one of the most complex nests in the bird world, often called an "avian architectural wonder":
Materials:
Both partners spend up to three weeks weaving together moss, lichen, and spider silk (specifically from egg cocoons).
Construction:
The spider silk acts like "natural Velcro," creating a flexible, dome-shaped sack that can expand as the chicks grow larger.
Insulation:
The interior is lined with an incredible number of feathers—sometimes over 2,000 for a single nest.
Camouflage:
The outside is decorated with lichen flakes to help the nest blend into the tree fork or thorny bush where it is hidden.
Habitat & Diet
Diet:
Primarily insectivorous, they specialize in eating the eggs and larvae of moths and butterflies. In winter, they increasingly visit garden feeders, showing a strong preference for suet balls and peanuts.
Habitat:
They favor deciduous and mixed woodlands with dense undergrowth, but they are also common in parks, hedgerows, and urban gardens.

The Greyhound is an ancient and noble breed renowned as the fastest dog on Earth, but also famous for being a docile "45-mph couch potato" in the home. They make calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance family pets for the right household.
Key Characteristics
Speed:
Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in just a few strides, thanks to their unique, aerodynamic build, deep chest, flexible spine, and long, powerful legs.
Temperament:
Despite their athletic prowess, Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, and quiet dogs. They are non-aggressive, typically get along well with people and other dogs, and are known for their calm, even-tempered nature indoors.
Exercise Needs:
They are built for sprinting, not endurance, and require surprisingly little exercise—around an hour of daily activity, ideally split into two shorter walks with the chance for a supervised sprint in a securely fenced area.
Prey Drive:
As sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase fast-moving objects (like squirrels or rabbits). For this reason, they should generally remain on a lead in open public spaces and a secure, high-fenced garden is essential.
Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds in history, appearing in ancient Egyptian art dating back to 4000 BCE and the only dog breed mentioned by name in the Bible.
