I too often forget that people across the politcal spectrum often give to common causes. If only that overlap of translucent hearts would be enough for redemption, for healing, for a solidification.
This photo is of a gemstone shaped heart back lit with a pen light on white acrylic giving the blue glaring line, the contrasting colors and the cross shape.
Thank you everyone for your generous awards, comments and faves. It is very much appreciated.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot).
This royal castle was built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence.
The castle was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859. The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
Exhibit no. 4 of my Fern Fronds (photo-art) exhibition on the spectacular staghorn fern was generously selected for the 'Flickr Macro Explore' May 2021 takeover day.
The exhibit style presents a bold purple, red and yellow-orange colour mix, as well as showing the leaves that stem from the frond. As such the exhibit, in celebrating Art, Nature, and Colour, is well informed by photographic 'style' (as are all exhibits in this series).
To recall, 'style' is basically the way a photographer or ‘photoartist’ portrays the subject matter and expresses her or his vision, through the composition, which, here, stresses shape, texture, and colour.
On the latter, as the main emphasis, the staghorn fern frond is showed off in aesthetic (or beautiful) variants of green, yellow, pink and purple, and orange, as common to rare colours in nature.
In this exhibit, again, inverse colours of red, purple, and yellow-orange are introduced in moving more to the colour ‘inside’ nature).
On our subject, again, the staghorn fern, again, is an epiphyte or ‘air plant’ that grows without soil. Instead, it lives on host trees by using a tree’s branches to anchor itself.
It does not live off its host, instead the large, shield-like frond at the front curves outward to collect water and organic matter as it falls from above, as well as protecting the plant's roots, which also offers design ideas for environmental sustainability around eco-architecture perhaps.
For a good idea of the whole plant and more info: see: wimastergardener.org/article/staghorn-fern-platycerium-bi...
I hope you enjoy Exhibit 4 here, and in Flickr's photo-art online exhibition.

Not my best work. I don't usually post photos like this. I would have tossed it into the recycle bin, but I'm posting here only for its fun value. I was out at the local park to shoot ducks and came upon this scene. I found it comical. I didn't have much time to compose the shot. It is out of focus too. Anyway, here it is. I will take it down in a few days. Thank you for your continued visits, support, and encouragement. Peace.
Update:
I didn't expect this photo to receive so much love and appreciation. I know it is not so great a photo, yet you guys have all been magnanimous in sending many generous comments my way. Many suggested I keep the photo and not delete it. You win. The photo will stay.
Thank you, everyone. Love.
'With a Big heart and generous Hands' is a macro photograph of a leaf. it is a part of a series called 'Green World.'
The supermoon rising over Lake Michigan with the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse in the foreground. As I am sure many of you already know, this was the largest and brightest full moon since 1948, and it won’t be this big and bright again until 2034.
Quite a bit of planning went into this photograph. I used Google Earth on my computer and the PhotoPills and Sky Guide apps on my mobile phone to precisely plan my location and timing. The lighthouse was approximately 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) from my tripod placement, so my DOF chart told me that if I focused on the lighthouse, the moon would also be in focus (infinity) at 400mm and f/5.6.
I was working with a 30-megapixel image, so I was able to crop generously to accentuate the scale, and I still had a very large file to work with. The sky was clear. I let the moon rise above most of the horizon haze before taking the picture. It was a beautiful sight!

I'm grateful to be part of a universe where we readily offer one another our hands to help lift each other up. Everyone has an important message to share, and each one of us can make a difference.

Keep shining so bright, my friends!

If you‘re into older lenses it seems to be a good idea to not give up on them too quickly and grant them a second or third chance… they might surprise you! This lens came, quite beaten and somewhat strange looking, and when it didn’t shine during the first testshots, I put it down, thinking it just might not be worth the effort. But because it‘s part of an upcoming article I‘m working on, I decided to use it a bit more in order to get a more consistent impression. Glad to admit my initial impression seems to have been completely wrong. It turned out to be a very interesting, capable and unique little lens.
Maybe it would be a good idea to extend that generosity to fellow humans as well… but what do I know about them? 😅

How generous you are, Earth,
and how strong is your yearning for your children
lost between that which they have attained
and that which they could not obtain.
We clamor and you smile; we flit but you stay!
We extract your elements to make cannons and bombs,
but out of our elements you create lilies and roses.

Dans une partie de la forêt connue sous le nom de "Green Belt" qui ceinture le sud de la capitale nationale jusqu'à la rivière, une famille de chouette rayée s'occupe de sa progéniture. Ce bébé, à peine 3 jours hors du nid est sous haute surveillance de la part de papa et maman que je vous présenterai sous peu.
Un grand merci à mon ami Fan Song, un passionné des oiseaux dont la générosité est sans limites.
Somewhere in the Ottawa Green Belt a Barred Owl family is busy nurturing its progeny. Here is baby "one". Three days out of the nest, he is under the watchful eyes of Mom and Dad.
Many thanks to my friend Fan Song, a passionate birder whose generosity is beyond limits and who accompanied us on this visit.

Richard Tatti generously provided some NEF files to download nd follow along with his edit in a recent YouTube video: www.nightscapeimages.com.au/workshops---online.html
With travel restrictions in place (and thunderstorms anyway) I thought I would have a go. I set out with the intention of creating a different shot to Richard rather than trying to re-create it, which is not to say I don't like his original! In fact I probably would not normally edit this shot in the same way if it were mine! Richard used a Nikon Z6 and 20mm f/1.8 S lens, 9 sky shots and 3 light painted foreground shots. I used Sequator to stack the sky images (as per the video) and Photoshop to combine the result with 2 of the 3 foreground light painted shots.
IUCN Red List Status: Near Threatened - at Pantanal - Brazil.
Jaguars are mighty cats most easily recognized by the bold rosettes generously spotted across their tawny-colored coats. They have thick, stocky legs and short, round ears. The jaguar has the strongest of all the felines. The name “jaguar” originates from the Tupi and Guarani languages of South America from the word yaguareté, or “true, fierce beast and he who kills in one leap.” The majestic jaguar is a symbol of power for many Latin-American cultures, it represents the power of nature and is seen as the protector of the rainforest. These magnificent cats are distributed from Mexico to Argentina across 18 countries, and Brazil holds around half of the wild jaguars in the world. Their habitats include wet and dry forests, savannahs, and shrublands. Jaguars are strong swimmers and climbers and are dependent on healthy freshwater systems and access to great amounts of territory for survival. www.worldwildlife.org/species/jaguar
