No filter. This lichen was in the lakebed right after it rained and was a flash of color among the wet and dark foliage. Taken with my macro lens on my phone.

Teddy Cook is crying.
Works of art are very fragile.
We kindly ask you not to touch them
and to keep sufficient distance.
Thank you.
The museum probably did not intend to create little artworks when they put up these signs. But they can be interpreted as art, no problem!
And they reminded me of the Special Containment Procedures:

I thought i'd revisit some of my archive macro shots from the back garden and have a play around with the features in Aperture.
This was given a gentle bit of vintage sepia treatment.
Leptodea fragilis
State listed as Endangered in Vermont
The Fragile Papershell is found in various sized bodies of water, from headwater streams to rivers and lakes. It can also inhabit mud, gravel, and even found in sand. This freshwater mussel can grow up to six inches long and is oblong shaped. When mating, the males release sperm into the water which is taken in by the females through their respiratory current. The eggs are internally fertilized and then pass into the water through the gills where they attach themselves to host fish to relocate. Generally, they breed once a year during the warmer months. The age of a mussel can be determined by looking at annual rings on the shell! Like all mussels, the fragile papershell is rather sedentary, although may move with current or with the help of a host if water levels or conditions change. Mussels are ecological indicators, their presence in a body of water indicate good water quality. They can filter up to fifteen gallons of water a day; a six mile stretch of mussel bed can filter out over 25 tons of particulates per year. Currently there is intense research at Yale University, Stanford University and the NOAA (to name a few) about using mussels to clean fouled waters.
The Fragile Papershell is prayed on by muskrats, racoons, minks, otters, and some birds. Juvenile mussels are also fed upon by lake sturgeon, spotted suckers, redhorse and some other fish. There is a specific mite that feeds on mussel and can destroy about half of their gills. These natural predators are not the root cause of the radical diminishing population of freshwater mussels today. Construction of dams, regulation of river flows, and gravel mining, alter the river bottom habitat. Currently the building of and maintaining dams is a controversial issue. To build a dam one must get a permit, post public notices and it is overseen by the Army Corps of Engineers. Dam removal has in recent years been used as a tool to restore rivers while addressing the on-going problems of aging, and deteriorating, infrastructure. Of the 1,200 known dams in Vermont, many no longer serve a useful purpose and impose legal and financial burdens on their owners. In some cases, removal of these dams makes sense for economic, public safety, ecological or social reasons. The state has published a user’s guide to removed dams in Vermont.

Dave White
Dave White is a contemporary British artist who dedicates his work to celebrating popular culture and interpreting emotive issues. He pioneered the ‘Sneaker Art’ movement in 2002, with the execution of pop art inspired sneaker oil portraits, leading to long-term collaborations with Nike and Brand Jordan.
“Reflecting a realistic vision from a distance, with an abstraction of expressive paint marks upon closer viewing, my work represents the fragile balance of order and chaos in the natural world and the impact that we are having on our environment. I hope that by inspiring generations of all ages with this project, it will be one small positive step to support Tusk in their vital work protecting endangered species. “
Seen at the Palmengarten during the Luminale 2012 in Frankfurt am Main.
Thank you DRIFT DESIGN (Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta) for this incredible dandelion light sculpture baptised FRAGILE FUTURE III. At their website it is described as "zero gravity" what fits exactly to this terrific work. Thank you guys, it was the best seen during the luminale...
These are LED lights plastered with real dandelions. Every light is one single dandelion... just great!
A fragile vase arrived intact from Turkey. It's a lovely reminder of a summer adventure.
MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK - "Time Turned Fragile"
Tiny hands, recycled cans, the metal bands I could not stand..
The time you cried and threw your crayons across the floor...
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
You used to say that you're just fine,
But I still wonder all the time.
Hockey games, medical claims, police reports, terrible grades,
J, I'm so proud of all the things that you have done.
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
I'm alright, I'm alright.
I can see through everything you say, and all the lessons I never learned..
You used to say that you're just fine,
But I still wonder all the time.
Do you still believe in the stories told
To you by my friends and I when you were four years old?
How it got so cold that words just froze
We had to wait 'til summer to find out what was said
One of the best times that we had.
I know I say that I'm just fine,
But I hope you wonder from time to time.
I was nervous from the start that our muscles might tear us apart
(Are muscles tearing us apart?)
From the words that carve our lives to the words that take us by surprise
(I was never taken by surprise.)
From the sounds that disappear to the changes we begin to fear
(I can hear you clearly.)
One day I'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories
(All we are are memories.)
“We all mold one another's dreams. We all hold each other's fragile hopes in our hands. We all touch others' hearts.”
my work for group exhibition in Mar.
I dropped my new lens after taking this photo, so that's why I chose the title "fragile"
New 8.5" x 11" on paper.

An appearance of delicacy, and even of fragility, is almost essential to it [beauty].

What happened in Japan makes me aware again how fragile we are against nature...Our thoughts are with Japan...
Aada 2011-72
"You think you see me
Like the way I'm strong and stand by you
I am fragile too, I am fragile too
Yeah, I will be fine
As the time goes by
It may hurt at nights
But I will be fine
I will be just fine
They think they know me
And everything that they consider me
They think I never cry."
Lyrics to "Fragile" by Kerli.

Life is crazy. It's weird that things can change so quickly and you can't do a single thing to change it. You just adjust and live a new day every day. It's weird to think about. My hands are looking nice and creepy
The cross-hatch of live electric fences in and around the camp made loved ones literally untouchable. The fences fatally divided families and lovers into subcamps between which communication was forbidden, and that cut off inmates from any previous relationship to the world beyond. And nor were these separative boundaries always material ones. Of a woman whose name had been written down at the previous selection on the list of those to be gassed, Nomberg-Przytyk writes: 'I did not talk to her, though she lay no more than an arm's length from me. I was ashamed that I was to live. At a later date, the period of death marches and extreme privation between Lucie Adelsberger's evacuation from Auschwitz and her liberation revealed to her that 'there is no saving face when caught up in the whirling dance of death, All inhibitions are cast aside.

Realised today that I had yet to upload this after Stourbridge PS last DPI contest. Two image montage. The moon was shot with a 500mm Tamron mirror lens from my front lawn whilst the rest is a single shot taken with a D7000 and a Tamron 90mm macro lense at the biannual Ruskin glass exhibition of a glass bowl, the mist bands are the out of focus far edge of the bowl. The colours have been slightly altered

bisogna essere animali grossi e cattivi per sopravvivere a chi ci circonda.
e soprattutto a noi stessi.
saranno le ore di sonno che mancano clamorosamente, le inspiegabili e inspiegate piccole e grandi fratture (e una frattura fa male sempre, c'è poco da girarci attorno), l'imminente, enorme, azzerante carico di lavoro mozzafiato che inizierà tra pochi giorni, la mia totale incapacità nel concludere quello che dovrei, ma oggi sto così.
o forse è solo la sindrome premestruale, comunque fa schifo lo stesso.
ecco.
