Super lightweight and doesn't kink. It expands when it fills with water. I love it!
For Crazy Tuesday theme "Flexibles"
Melbourne's newer trams have multiple compartments, carry many more people, and are capable of trundling much faster. They also add a lot of colour to the city, albeit much of it through advertising.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
This guy seemed curious about us, but not particularly alarmed.
Loggerhead Shrike, Lanius ludovicianus
Moon over Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. The great thing about shooting RAW instead of JPEG is it affords a lot more flexibility when post-processing. Because I wasn't able to take a few shots and bracket for an HDR image, I had to push the RAW file to its limits.
Todirostre tacheté, Spotted Tody- Flycatcher
The bird is starting to hang its nest from a stalk which seems too flexible to me. Will it hold? Time will tell.
L'oiseau commence à suspendre son nid sur une tige qui me parait trop flexible. A suivre.
It is amazing how dragonflies independently control the angle and speed of each wing to attain the swiftness and agility to hunt and catch other flying insects. They eat copious amounts of mosquitoes, flies, and midges. Older than dinosaurs, their polymer chitin mosaic wing structure has remained optimal and relatively unchanged over 300 million years. The intricate structure of dragonfly wings provides stiffness for support as well as flexibility to generate high aerodynamic lift while minimizing wing stress concentration.
Tern's turning are difficult to capture. It really is a matter of luck as it happens so quickly. Once they have dived for a fish, they shake the water off. It takes about 3 seconds before the shake.
Notice how his head is turned 180° and his tail is turned 90°.
This shot is special to me because the Tern is faced toward me and the background is vegetation and the beach, not just sky or water. Today was a good day for photographing birds.

Livestock mobility, flexible use of rangelands, and diverse herds were key elements of traditional nomadic pastoral practices throughout the world and contributed to the high ecological stability of pastoral systems.
Nomads are still found today on the Tibetan Plateau and Himalaya. Known in the Tibetan language as drokpa, translating as “high-pasture people,” there are an estimated two million Tibetan-speaking nomads spread over a vast area. Throughout the Tibetan areas of what is now the People’s Republic of China and in the northern parts of Bhutan, India and Nepal, nomads are an important element in the economy and society wherever they are found, but their way of life is disappearing.

"Aging gracefully means being flexible, being open, allowing change, enjoying change and loving yourself." - Wendy Whelan
A spring from a toy fitted to a child's bracelet. I've used silver and gold card reflectors with window light.
It amazes me to see the dexterity exhibited by some birds in flight. Kites, like this Swallow-tailed Kite, seem to be particularly skilled.
At Sebastian request, here's one of his jumps.
He loves jumping from any suitable surface and I have to recognize he's good, but my nerves suffer.

"Take my picture,” she said. “I’m going to do something.”
And this - quite unexpectedly - is what she did.
This is the top of Emmie's drinking cup. It is upside down and the flexible, rubber straw normally hangs straight down. It allows her to sip without spilling - HCT!
