One of those tiny flowers from those I grew from seed and I never know what they are. I didn't like the leaves and liquified them a bit.
Happy Friday and a great weekend to all of you!
I was in shirpala and i was about to descend but then i changed my mind ,i climbed the little rock to have a better view and start shooting for a while till i realized there is less than 2 hours remained to mid night, i gathered everything and went back to shelter. ;)

Ommatius coeraebus
Family: Asilidae
Order: Diptera
There are 17 known species of the genus Ommatius, the plume tops, in Australia. Although a couple have some similarities, only coeraebus is recorded in south NSW.
Note the "beard" of setae around the face, neck and rostrum. It is believed that these setae provide some protection from damage by their prey.
They are active predators, mainly of flying insects, and they appear to be unselective in prey species. Their prey does include members of their own species, often with a female predating a smaller male that attempted to mate. Their long legs can be used to capture other insects in flight.
In this case, the prey is small Crane Fly. The prey has been pierced with the rostrum, allowing the Robber Fly to inject it with a cocktail of proteolytic enzymes and neurotoxins. The liquified contents of the fly will then be sucked up through the rostrum.
The cocktail of toxins include molecules that have not been found elsewhere, indicating that Asilidae toxins emerged from a unique evolutionary pathway
(Drukewitz et al, 2018).
The two insects have been recorded in separate iNaturalist observations:

I photographed the same species 20 kilometres away predating on a small Thynnid wasp:

Another bit of fun for Sliders Sunday, entirely cooked using Affinity on the iPaddle. :)
This is a picture of flint pebbles on a path, there is a link to the original in the first comment. Naturally, it’s been mangled and, after in spite of all the fun, I still quite like the modern abstract art look at the end. It was mainly done with layer blending and a bit of Liquifying. As it didn’t really take long to do it feels a bit like cheating…
- I first duplicated the image layer and flipped it both ways, blending it back with Difference. This gives it symmetry (most noticeable around the edges in the final result.
- I then corrected the contrast and colour a bit and merged the result into a new layer.
- Next, I used the Liquify tool on the merged result, dragging things around while blending this (liquified merge) layer with the previous ones using Lighten blend mode. I've not really tried this before - 't were fun 't were :) I kept the liquify effect away from the edges and used a swirly motion for the distortion to give it a sense of something in a frame.
- After that I used the Lighting filter to add a bit of texture: two white spotlights top and bottom aiming them at the middle, with a few pixels of texture added (this adds a slight embossed edges effect to the shapes in the image).
- Finally a bit of adjusting tone and colour along with a light vignette.
I’m willing to accept cheques or cash ;)
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the twurdled image. May your slides be lurid and fun… :)

Last light painting photo of 2022 with a new 'blue' serpent plex to go with the red one. Topaz glow added. All one exposure w processing in LR.
This is the only known photograph of Amphibia Lilypad Deadmore, commonly known as Great Aunt Lily. She suffered from a rare skin condition and avoided society. Her one passion was playing the harpsichord. The few who heard her play praised the unconventional melodies, and complained of high humidity and mold growing on the rather spongy walls of her old mansion. Eventually the house liquified and sank into the peat bog upon which it was built, presumably taking Great Aunt Lily with it. Some have heard strange music coming from the site, while others have seen dancing lights. Some even say that the mansion still exists underground, preserved by the peat.
The last legal burning of a witch in England took place in Lichfield in 1612. These days infestations of wickedness are 'humanely' destroyed by liquification. Careless disposal is blamed for contributing to the rise in the number of fat bergs in the drainage system.

thanksgiving cactus almost the same as the Christmas cactus except for the shape of the leaves and the period of blossoming. Enjoy.
Hackled Orbweaver (family Uloboridae)
I finally managed to get an image of one of these 'right side up'. If you look closely you can see it is holding its prey, all wrapped up.
Some interesting information about these Spiders.
Uloboridae is a family of non-venomous spiders, known as cribellate orb weavers or hackled orb weavers. Their lack of venom glands is a secondarily evolved trait. Instead, they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body.
Predatory Stink Bug Podisus sp. nymph feeding on a Periclista sp. sawfly larva on oak. The stink bug injects enzymes through its mouthparts to liquify the insides of its prey for slurping up like a milkshake.
I just had to try my hand one more time at using smoke photos to manipulate into people! This time I tried to make more of a scene instead of just doing one figure! You just use smoke photos, Photoshop, and put your layers in screen mode. You push the smoke around with the Liquify filter. All photos were from Pixaby website. That's it!!

This garden spider has decided to make a web on the patio door. where its zigzag web is visible against the overcast sky. Its legs are stretched out to display the many angles of its joints in their perfect symmetry. Too late for cicada season, although if one were to be caught in the web, this angiope would inject it with venom to dissolve the internal organs of the cicada and then suck out the liquified meal. Happy Halloween!
Depending on the post I sometimes get many people asking "how do I do x or y" when they see one of my images. So I decided to post this, and give some step by steps below. This actually is a rather straightforward slide, lately I have been spending much more time with layers, which I did not do here. Anyway, this does include one step that I do use a lot and people ask about a lot, which is using the "Blur" options in Photoshop. Yes, I add blur to my photos, not all the time, but I do quite a bit. Sometimes the use of the blur is for the purpose below, it is not so much to get "blur" but to smooth out colors. Anyway, some secrets revealed! :-))))
Oh and by the way, I would click to view this in the light box if I were you, for this one it really is worth it! :-))
