I never really know what's going to catch my imagination but it seems the everyday pencil has done just that. This started with a photo of four pencils which morphed into the Invasion of the Singing Pencils and then into various stages of different patterns, some straight, some not so straight. This falls into the category of "not so straight" but seems appropriate for my submission to the Slider Sunday Group. Of course the "HB #2" printing was too far down on the pencil so it had to be moved to get the starter "X or cross" block to fit together. Then after a bit of wiggling (the lines looked too straight) I started to remove some of the wording, after a bit I finally stopped and it was finished...

Maybe I'll hit the business end with a die and BINGO: Threads!!! Maybe not...
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS

Dieser Mäusebussard und ein zweiter setzten sich heute unweit von mir entfernt in einen Baum. Ein Lichtblick in dieser traurigen Zeit.
This common buzzard and a second one sat in a tree not far from me today. A ray of hope at this sad time.
In Morphea's arms. (Falling asleep)

After several months of 'Lock Down' due to the pandemic, the normally manicured lawn in our local churchyard, was neglected and that allowed the grass to grow long. With the flowers left by people, its morphed into an exotic meadow. It was truly wonderful.
A bit of motion blur to give the impression that this black London cab has morphed into a stretch limo.
This shot was captured as we arrived in Rivello at the little bridge crossing the river entering the lower part of the city just as the sun begins to lower itself behind the foothills that cradle the town in this handsome river valley area. The region is called Noce for the river that runs through it and the walnuts that can be found in plentiful numbers throughout the valley the village is like a jewel set in nature observed from loftier peaks.
The history of Rivello seems to be one of acceptance and religious tolerance starting as a Lucan city that morphed into a Roman one when they happened along then being occupied or shared at the same time by Byzantine, Lombard’s and Latin influences making it a very cosmopolitan center. The testament to this are the churches left behind in Latin and Byzantine styles as well their locations in the city Lombard’s settled in the upper part of town and the Byzantines in the lower building mother churches in both communities in their traditional designs.
Rivello has been long famous for its metalsmiths first starting with precious metals in the 10th century and later on in the centuries harnessing the river that flows close to the city to drive iron works production but whatever the metal the city produced many craftsmen that made the city prosper. Today the city is known for its picturesque location, unique architecture and the nature that surrounds the town it is a paradise for those that love to wander in the forest, in the narrow lanes and climbing the many stairs of the city, having something to please almost everyone.
I took this on Sept 26, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 Lens at 78mm 1/8s f`14 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

Summertime scene over the James River.
I had taken several shots of this scene. Looking at them afterwards, it was clear how much the clouds had morphed at the top, drifting with the movement of the summer storm front. This was among the latter of the group of images. Makes me think of an explosion, or ash cloud from a volcano.

Fernando de retour!
Nous ne l'avions pas revu depuis le début du mois de juin dans ses cavités connues. Très heureux d'avoir pu observer à nouveau en cette toute fin d'été le beau Fernando notamment au no 38, l'arbre de Julie. Cette belle retrouvaille a eu lieu dimanche dernier lorsque j'ai fait la grande tournée des Petits-ducs maculés d'Angrignon avec mon ami Jocelyn. Nous l'avons trouvé en fin de matinée dormant paisiblement tout au long de la période où nous l'avons observé. J'y suis retourné en fin d'après-midi, la présente image fut captée à ce moment-là, comme c'est souvent son habitude il est éveillé et aux aguets dans cette période de la journée, examinant tout autour de lui les moindres bruits ou apparitions suspectes avant de retourner invariablement dans les bras de Morphée jusqu'au prochain événement qui troublera sa quiétude. Cette fois-ci j'ai utilisé mon trépied, plutôt rare dans mon cas, et j'ai ajouté mon télé-convertisseur 2X me donnant une focale de 900mm, d'où cette grande proximité avec le bellâtre. Sous cette belle lumière le résultat fut des plus satisfaisants. À chaque fois que je l'observe ainsi aux aguets les yeux grands ouverts, je remarque aucune présence ou rien de particulier qui pourrait expliquer cette soudaine attention. Assurément le beau Fernando est mieux pourvu que moi pour déceler d'éventuelles menaces à sa sécurité. C'est bien tant mieux! L'ami Jocelyn l'aura retrouvé encore au même endroit le lendemain. Depuis par contre, nous ne l'avons pas revu. Ni aucun autre Petit-duc d'ailleurs. Habituellement les Petits-ducs maculés d'Angrignon se manifestent davantage à partir du mois de novembre. Restez à l'écoute!
Captured this little fellow when trying for a dark morphed rough legged hawk, I failed miserably again but did find this guy perched up high on a dead tree limb. I believe he has Leusism which is considered rare in red squirrels. Leucism is a genetic condition which causes white coloring and is different to albinism because it does not affect the eyes.
This most amazing swish of a cloud appeared over a small land mass and caught my attention. Already set up to capture the departing Ferry, all that was necessary was to swing my camera to the right. It was already mounted on a tripod and my view was unrestricted, because I was standing at the end of a peer.
I remember how it transfixed me. with the way it formed in the slight breeze. How it coloured with the rays of the setting sun, while hovering over the land. And, how very blue the water became as the cloud gradually morphed into a more pinkish colour. Nature is bewitching with charm and often commands absolute, unbridled attention.
A Rufous morph of an Indian Paradise Flycatcher. The tail is over a foot long and is quite flexible. And the bird doesn't find inconvenient - it was hopping all over the place.
The bird frequents wet / marshy areas with lots of flies. The rufous morph is thought to slowly turn to white all over. I don't know if it stays white forever, but I suppose so.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

This image is from the first night we were at the City of Rocks State Park.
The days were scorching hot but the nights were spectacular. The air was still and it got nice and cool by about 10 pm.
It is a very unusual place, some mud flow from an ancient volcanic eruption has eroded and weathered over the eons and morphed into this assembly of free-standing rocks. The Milky Way was glistening in the moonless sky and Arcturus and Spica were blazing overhead. That is why I love to be out at night.
The Park was only sparsely populated with campers and everything was peaceful and quiet. Give me more of that.

Macro Mondays theme Reflection
One marble, many reflections.
Today is Monday's lesson in Physics and how to make life difficult for yourself! 😄
My idea was to see if I could set up an infinity mirror with two small parallel mirrors but failed miserably. The idea then morphed into messing about with angles and reflections. I took some fairly nice photos yesterday with blossoms and with my trusty yellow marble but somehow they just weren't doing it.
I gave it another go this morning and ended up with this image.
The image fits within the 3 inch rule (the mirror is 2.5 inches across and the marble is 2 cm in diameter).
Happy Macro Mondays!
While walking in the woods I found this guy sitting in a wood cavity, very high up - lucky me. It is a grey morphed Eastern Screech Owl. Late afternoon sun made it look like red morphed, which is far less common.
Monday Trilogy.. Digitally created photo with a twist.
Only so many hours in a day. Considering myself morphed.
Actually this is Zero, my sister's Labrador who was 'posing' for a photoshoot by being thrown cheesy Doritos who strangely morphed into a brown bear!
I had the camera on the sports setting so that I could fire off rapid shots with the lens focused on one spot, but it was anyone's guess where the action of Zero's face was going to be as he was understandably enthusiastic about getting the next Dorito!
Anyway, so there's a bit of motion blur here, but an intriguing shot all the same I think.
A few weeks ago, our near manageable flocks of morning and afternoon Galah visitors morphed from a maximum of about 25 to 60 or more. Obviously, two local flocks got together for seed time and now this many is not unusual. So here is a typical group waiting patiently on the overhead wires out the back. Goodness knows what the neighbours and motorists think. God knows their names, we can only distinguish a few and even they tend to come separately....being brainy birds, why would you come and join in the melee this becomes! Needless to say, we feel somewhat like the famous Jane Goodall (Primatalogist) but we are instead Galah-otologists. We feel blessed by their presence and willingness for some at least to make a connection across the divide.
We have two busy days, sorting things out at Jenny's parent's care home, the management of which seems incapable of having any empathy towards their residents. A situation we never accept. We could write a revealing book and sadly, this is probably common with too many families of people in care.
After flying over my head this light morphed Rough-legged Hawk disappeared behind the tree lines and came back shortly afterwards with her prized possession. Don't know why it came back close to where some of us were standing - may be a bit of show-off. It flew over the road in front of us and landed on the grassy side at the opposite end to consume the vole. What a magnificent bird and quite tolerant of humans too. It was a challenging condition under cloudy sky and fading light, that boosted the ISO to 6400. An absolutely stunning bird. Whitby, Ontario
Another day, another storm on the march. Another moment where I am caught between two masses. The more I visit places like this, the more in tune I feel with the land and the environment. It's not easy to explain the sort of irresistible compulsion that draws me here virtually every evening. It's strangely comfortable emotionally, even at times when I"m apprehensive or even frightened by the circumstances. I'm continually probing into the desolation under increasing darkness. It's definitely a case of pushing the boundaries. Storms really play into the intensity, both physical and emotional. Photographically this has morphed into a form of scrying for lack of a better term. At times like this, the camera is a sort of gazing ball, an extension of my mind more than anything else. I seldom even look at what I am shooting and mostly just point the camera in the direction where I sense the most energy. I'm not sure I'm even fully in control of the process. It seems as if turning off the analytical part of my mind allows some other force to fill in the void. This photo exemplifies that thinking (or lack thereof). It is a vision not merely of the effect of wind, rather of how it might feel to be the wind itself, flowing out over the the corn rows, answering to no-one. It's perfect in its imperfection.
