For the theme "Gift wrapping material" of the Group "Looking-close-on-Friday "

I don't know what this Red-necked Grebe is transporting, it almost looks like a dirty net of some kind, but it ends up part of the grebe's nest. Makes sense!

 

Thought I'd give the ole 2X tele a try with the 600 and the new R5. I was curious to see how that combination works together and I think it looks great! What do you think?

 

Taken 14 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.

This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.

 

The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

Here's a Red-shouldered Hawk on its way to the nest with some additional nesting material. I believe that the Florida Red-shouldered breed earlier than the species in other parts of the country. Once site had them breeding from January to May when general reference books state the species breed from May to July. In any event, I'm hoping that they are not just faking us out and that we have some new chicks to celebrate. In the course of my reading I learned that the females are larger than the males (probably smarter too) and that the pair are monogamous. Having said that, I've never been able to see the size difference but will pay more attention in the future. Happy 2023 everyone. (Buteo lineatus)

All wrapped and ready to go.

 

Smile on Saturday.

In libreria per il piacere della lettura.

Alla cassa l’incontro con il libro di Duccio Demetrio "Foliage - Vagabondare in autunno". Mi ha incuriosita immediatamente.

A casa, sono andata in rete. Ho iniziato la mia caccia, tutte le rotelle in movimento.

Già sentivo il profumo dell’autunno.

 

Nel suo libro, l’autore ricorre ai poeti, ai pittori, ai filosofi, a chi si è incaricato di rivoltare la foglia autunnale come una carta, di far emergere il suo risvolto velato.

 

Ho ascoltato le parole, i pensieri, le citazioni nelle presentazioni del libro di Duccio Demetrio. ….

“l’esplorazione di un territorio spesso sconosciuto, un appuntamento non con la decadenza, come si ritiene da più parti e da secoli, ma con la crescita, con la fioritura, con la ricchezza. Sì, si può anche fiorire.

…. Non è vero, caro Ungaretti, che si debba stare sempre come in guerra, come i soldati, come d’autunno sugli alberi le foglie. La vita è certo anche guerra, ma il tratto malinconico di una stagione che sembra accompagnare gli umani verso il gelo invernale, verso il finale di partita, può collegarci con l’essenza vera dell’esistere, dell'esserci, del vivere. È con l’autunno, con le sue tinte, che possiamo cogliere il segreto della vita, la ricchezza della vita.”

Una delle sue citazioni, le poesie di Angelo Casati

“Non chiamate decadente quest’autunno

Mi abbevero alla festa dei colori

Chiazze gialle, rossi accesi su brividi di cielo azzurro

Tavolozza dell’inedito

Non chiamate decadente quest’autunno

Le foglie e il loro volteggiare lieve, sospeso nell’aria

Spoliazione o preludio di accensione?”

 

Duccio Demetrio mi ha affascinata è stato stimolante.

 

Ho preso alcune delle sue parole: oscillare, frusciare, lentezza, atmosfera, silenzi da ascoltare, sospensioni, feconda pausa, desiderio di vagabondare, il piacere di perdersi di esplorare di sostare e di ammirare la bellezza nelle sue sfumature, penombre, paesaggi, colori smaglianti, dissolvenze, metamorfosi, incantamenti.

 

Sono andata alla ricerca dei miei vagabondaggi in solitaria, sono andata alla ricerca nei miei ricordi per raccontare il mio autunno.

 

Una pausa dal mio quotidiano per ritornare a quando ero bimba, quando si parlava di autunno raccogliendo le foglie secche e cadute da quei pochi alberi nella piazzetta dei giochi, quella del quartiere, nella città ormai cementificata e industrializzata, negli anni ’60.

Intanto le stagioni passavano di anno in anno fino ad arrivare alla mia età adulta, per vivere una parte delle mie due gravidanze e la nascita dei miei figli, proprio in autunno.

 

Son dovuta crescere ancora per godere l’autunno nella natura, prima con i miei figli, e dopo anche da sola per immergermi, camminando in questa stagione, per godere delle mutazioni mie e della natura.

  

This was another sign of spring this week. The squirrel had quite the mouthful of nesting material. Happy Fence Friday!

This House Wren has brought back some nesting materials and is looking up where it's nest is, about to take the final leap there.

Female Eastern Bluebird gathering nesting material. After all the going back and forth from box to box, she decided to nest in the one. She was very busy. Lets hope for a succesful brood. My backyard. Central Bucks, PA.

With nesting material in tow, off to finish up the nest.

Although there’s a chick in the nest, the adults are still bringing nesting material. I would love to be able to ask them why but I imagine that it makes the nest more comfortable, covering a the bottom that may have been soiled or have bits of food drawing insects. It’s not easy to see what’s happening in the nest and I have yet to see the chick, or chicks if there’s more than one. Hopefully we’ll soon see a head or two pop up.

✦ Sunny Nails by Nail Bliss ✦

 

Where artistry meets modern couture

 

I slip into a world where elegance extends beyond fabric and jewels—where even my fingertips become canvases of desire. These Sunny Nails by Nail Bliss are not merely an accessory; they are an indulgence, a statement of refinement, and a whisper of timeless glamour at the tips of my hands.

 

✨ Exquisite Finish & Detail

 

Each nail glistens with a polished, high-shine finish, enriched by PBR material effects that capture light with breathtaking realism. The shimmering gradient, the celestial sparkle, and the delicate motifs are executed with such precision that they rival the finest couture embroidery. This is not just polish—it is wearable art, layered with luxury.

 

🌸 Fashion History & Cultural Legacy

 

Nails have long been a symbol of social standing and allure. From the tinted fingertips of Ancient Egypt, adorned with henna, to the elongated lacquered talons of Chinese royalty, nail adornment has always declared status, sensuality, and identity. Nail Bliss honors this rich legacy with a distinctly modern interpretation—bridging heritage with the avant-garde in a design that feels both timeless and fashion-forward.

 

Compatibility & Versatility

 

These exclusive nails are crafted for a flawless fit with today’s most iconic mesh bodies:

♥ Legacy

♥ Reborn

♥ Kupra

♥ Maitreya

♥ LaraX

 

Each set is 100% mesh and moves with effortless grace, sculpted to elongate the hand and complement every gesture.

 

🌙 PBR Magic

 

The Physically Based Rendering (PBR) effect ensures that every flicker of light glides across their glossy surface—capturing the shimmer of starlight, the depth of black satin, and the brilliance of golden dust. Whether under soft daylight or the glow of evening chandeliers, these nails radiate glamour at every angle.

 

💅 Sunny Nails by Nail Bliss — crafted for the woman who lives fashion as an extension of her very soul. Let your hands speak the language of haute couture.
