This ain’t no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
The sun’s going down
It’s getting dark in here
Still folks say:
“I got nothing to fear”
I’m so tired over beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile

Second phase of the multiplying my origami "Butterfly-molecule". I call it "Duet 2".
As always, I'm still surprised how a tessellation changes by just adding a few new folds (triangles in this case). It's feels like being a magician :-) That's why I love folding, I guess, and I hope I can share that happiness by showing you my creations.
Have a great Tuesday!
Here you can see "Duet 1".
We were moving away from a water body in the Thar desert after a fruitless wait for some birds, when suddenly I noticed something fly off and land on the side of the safari vehicle. I asked the driver to stop, and saw this bright yellow coloured desert locust on the ground.
It was quite cooperative and allowed us some fantastic close ups. Some of us did click him even with their mobile.
They seem beautiful with their bright yellow colours and the pattern on wings,,but under certain conditions, can multiply uncontrollably to millions and destroy crops in vast regions. Hence the caption.
A couple of weeks ago Macro Mondays had a theme of Mushrooms. After searching for a while and not finding any I remembered my miniature ceramic red spotty mushroom nestling amongst the succulent pot plant. However, I never got to post it. Here for Sliders Sunday is the triple exposure in camera, duplicated in PS and overlain with a texture. After the rain and warmth of the last few days the mushrooms will start popping up again. I hope you weren't too affected by the rain storm last evening . I nearly had a flood inside the house. If it had rained at that intensity for another 15 minutes it would have been bad! So what else will 2021 throw at us? HSS
Cuckoo - Cuculus Canorus
Norfolk
The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, Cuculiformes, which includes the roadrunners, the anis and the coucals.
This species is a widespread summer migrant to Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa. It is a brood parasite, which means it lays eggs in the nests of other bird species, particularly of dunnocks, meadow pipits, and reed warblers. Although its eggs are larger than those of its hosts, the eggs in each type of host nest resemble the host's eggs. The adult too is a mimic, e that species is a predator, the mimicry gives the female time to lay her eggs without being seen to do so.
The English word "cuckoo" comes from the Old French cucu and it first appears about 1240 in the poem Sumer Is Icumen In - "Summer has come in / Loudly sing, Cuckoo!" in modern English.
The scientific name is from Latin. Cuculus is "cuckoo" and canorus, "melodious ".
A study using stuffed bird models found that small birds are less likely to approach common cuckoos that have barred underparts similar to the Eurasian sparrowhawk, a predatory bird. Eurasian reed warblers were found more aggressive to cuckoos that looked less hawk-like, meaning that the resemblance to the hawk helps the cuckoo to access the nests of potential hosts. Other small birds, great tits and blue tits, showed alarm and avoided attending feeders on seeing either (mounted) sparrowhawks or cuckoos; this implies that the cuckoo's hawklike appearance functions as protective mimicry, whether to reduce attacks by hawks or to make brood parasitism easier.
The common cuckoo is an obligate brood parasite; it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. At the appropriate moment, the hen cuckoo flies down to the host's nest, pushes one egg out of the nest, lays an egg and flies off. The whole process takes about 10 seconds. A female may visit up to 50 nests during a breeding season. Common cuckoos first breed at the age of two years.
More than 100 host species have been recorded: meadow pipit, dunnock and Eurasian reed warbler are the most common hosts in northern Europe; garden warbler, meadow pipit, pied wagtail and European robin in central Europe; brambling and common redstart in Finland; and great reed warbler in Hungary.
Studies were made of 90 great reed warbler nests in central Hungary. There was an "unusually high" frequency of common cuckoo parasitism, with 64% of the nests parasitised. Of the nests targeted by cuckoos, 64% contained one cuckoo egg, 23% had two, 10% had three and 3% had four common cuckoo eggs. In total, 58% of the common cuckoo eggs were laid in nests that were multiply parasitised. When laying eggs in nests already parasitised, the female cuckoos removed one egg at random, showing no discrimination between the great reed warbler eggs and those of other cuckoos.
It was found that nests close to cuckoo perches were most vulnerable: multiple parasitised nests were closest to the vantage points, and unparasitised nests were farthest away. Nearly all the nests "in close vicinity" to the vantage points were parasitised. More visible nests were more likely to be selected by the common cuckoos. Female cuckoos use their vantage points to watch for potential hosts and find it easier to locate the more visible nests while they are egg-laying.
You are a star, you multiply
Across my dreams, you take me high
Up to the land , high above
Where we walk, kissed by love
Over the lake, so very wide
Where your star, shines inside
Across the blue, it always streams
You are my star, you fill my dreams
Man Ray worked in a wide range of media including photography,painting,and sculpture often blurring the boundaries between these practices.Obstruction,an assemblage of sixty-three wood coat hangers,is an example of a type of artwork that Dada artist Marcel Duchamp called a readymade,a term that suggests Man Ray's appropriation and manipulation of preexisting,common objects.The sculpture playfully mimics a chandelier,but as the hangers seemingly divide and multiply,Obstruction quickly evolves into a dense tangle of overlapping forms.Cast shadows serve as distorted,immaterial extensions of its physical presence.Man Ray first created extension in 1920,but the present work belongs to an edition of fifteen reproductions he created in 1961 for an important exhibition of kinetic art.
Playa de La Zurriola, Donostia, Guipúzcoa, España.
La Playa de Zurriola es una de las tres playas de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España). Está situada entre la desembocadura del río Urumea y el monte Ulía, y tiene una longitud aproximada de 800 metros.
En 1994 se llevaron a cabo unas obras de reforma de la playa, anteriormente prácticamente inutilizable dada la virulencia de las aguas. Gracias a dichas reformas, que incluyeron la construcción de un espigón, la playa aumentó su longitud, sus aguas se hicieron aptas para el baño y su uso se multiplicó.
Frente al perfil elegante y tranquilo de las playas de Ondarreta y La Concha, la playa de Zurriola se ha consolidado como una playa de perfil más joven y apropiada para la práctica del surfismo (se trata de la playa más abierta y con más fuerte oleaje de la ciudad) y como escenario de algunos conciertos del Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián y de competiciones de Bodyboarding, surf, skateboarding y eventos similares.
The Zurriola Beach is one of the three beaches in the city of San Sebastián (Spain). It is located between the mouth of the Urumea River and Mount Ulía, and it has an approximate length of 800 meters.
In 1994, some works were carried out to reform the beach, which was previously practically unusable given the virulence of the waters. Thanks to these reforms, which included the construction of a jetty, the beach increased its length, its waters became suitable for bathing and its use multiplied.
Facing the elegant and tranquil profile of the beaches of Ondarreta and La Concha, Zurriola beach has established itself as a beach with a younger profile and suitable for surfing (it is the most open beach with the strongest waves in the the city) and as a stage for some concerts of the San Sebastian Jazz Festival and competitions of Bodyboarding, surfing, skateboarding and similar events.
.. They go forth and multiply.

An inland species rather than a coastal distribution. Like other Shell Orchids it can form large colonies.Grows to around 100mm.
There are seven Western Australian species in this group and multiply vegetatively through tuber production and are usually winter flowering.
these aphids multiply like crazy as you can see.... for some reason, they loved this wildflower that grows freely in my garden.... it's a type of little yellow daisy.... after seeing them this morning on all the stems, I blasted them with insecticidal soap.... hope that's the last of them!!

Part of an expanding (multiplying) grove of mangroves exposed at low tide, Wynnum, Brisbane, Australia. Mature trees produce floating seeds that wash around tidal areas until trapped in the substrate, eventually becoming new mangrove trees. As the trees age, their networks of aerial roots (pneumatophores) also multiply, extending further out from each trunk.
