I just took a ride
in a silver machine
and I'm still feeling mean
I got a silver machine
Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
other side of the sky
Well I got a silver machine
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
In my silver machine

Bird photography sounds peaceful. You picture me quietly communing with nature, sipping coffee while majestic creatures flutter by, posing politely like they’re in a Disney movie. That’s a lie. The truth involves hauling lawn chairs, tripods, and a camera bag that weighs more than a third grader across the desert before sunrise—all to sit motionless next to a glorified livestock trough filled with water I wouldn’t let my enemies drink.
This cattle tank, which I have gentrified into a “desert oasis” (by tossing in a stick), is now a fine-dining establishment for birds. The stick is important. I found it on the ground, which makes it natural, and I chose one with bark and lichen because birds don’t like muddy feet—and I like a pretty perch.
Birds don’t just fly in, though. First, they land about twenty-five feet away in what I call the staging area, where they scope things out and decide if it’s safe to drink. Just as I know birds come here for water, they know hawks come here for birds. If it seems risky, they vanish into the brush to post angry tweets about predator privilege.
This time, an American Robin decided to play along. He glided down to the branch, dipped his beak into the water, then raised his head to swallow—because robins, like most birds, can’t gulp. They rely on gravity to get the water down. No swallow muscles. No peristalsis. Just tip and pray.
As he tilted his head back, water spilled from his beak. I fired off a burst of photos. In this frame, he’s in perfect profile, water spilling from his bill, with a few droplets stopped in mid-air and a few reached the surface, sending delicate ripples across the pond.
His reflection was beautiful and haunting, like a bird pondering the mysteries of hydration—or maybe just wondering why some guy shoved a branch in his drinking fountain.
In the desert, water is liquid gold. To birds, cattle tanks are survival. To me, they’re proof that lugging heavy gear into the wilderness to photograph a robin mid-sip is a perfectly reasonable way to spend retirement.
Especially if you're trying to avoid housework.
He lifts his head to the sky—a gravity feed,
’Cause evolution said, “Nah—gulping’s not a need.
Last Sunday I visited two exhibitions in Hamburg. One was with works by various photo artists, the other shows works by Fracisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein and Robert Longo. Here on the wall the picture of R. Longo: American bald eagle, charcoal on mounted paper.

it's cloudy today, but yesterday we had sun.
The 'book' says that the red-bellied woodpecker eats beetles and a variety of insects and ants, occasionally eating a lizard (and other plant and animal things). We saw this woodpecker conduct a fast chase 'fly-walking' around the tree circling two and a half times to catch this lizard. First time for us.

To my Flickr friends, I have to apologize for being so neglectful with posting and viewing posts. I have a lot of catching up to do! Can't wait to start going through your wonderful images.
A stunning sunset from earlier this month. Kind of an idiot-proof shot! :)
Waiting for the elevator doors to open, I noticed Thay gazing at the clock above the doors. Then he said, “You know, Jim, a few hundred years ago it would not have been a clock, it would have been a crucifix.” So simple but so startling a comment. He was right. More than a tool of social coordination, the clock has become a quasi-religious object in our world, a symbol of unity, a collective conveyer belt, a symbol so powerful that it could depose the crucifix.

PROOF - Shop & Tasting Room is located in the old "Club Reserva" and is a combination of shop with spirits, wines and beers (liquor store) with a bar (tasting room). In the beautiful setting of this restored building, Nikkie, Timon and Jeroen are happy to present their large selection of spirits that they have in the range; think of single malt whiskey, premium rum and artisan mezcal.
paper lampshade for Macro Mondays. I did a lot of photos of the same object for this theme, but this is the only one where I'm sure it fits the size limits. This part is 6 cm wide.
...And happy about it ;)

Who would have known that the "dishwasher-proof" symbol that you can find on the underside of food containers (usually made of plastic) reveals a somewhat quirky, but definitely cute and smiling face? It's pareidolia time again :) Mr. Dishwasher-proof's face is 6x6mm / 0,23x0,23 inches "big", so the entire frame isn't much bigger than that. Illuminated with the usual suspects of make-shift colour filters, and photographed in 2:1 magnification with the Laowa 50mm f/2,8 macro lens. I was able to get about the same magnification (cropped) with the Oly's High-Res Mode and the M.Zuiko 60mm (1:1) macro lens, and the tiny 30mm F2.5 macro lens is somewhat in-between the two with its native 1,25x magnification which was interesting to see.
I'm very busy today and will catch up with you tonight.
HMM, Everyone, and have a great week ahead!

Milkweed seeds...............from very late in the season. I thought that my little section of "wilderness" (usually called the side yard) didn't have any of this plant this year. But one small collection of "fliers" turned up when they seem to have vanished everywhere else. So I made a point of getting close on a recent sunny day.

Did this pic yesterday of me and my hubby.
We are in an amazing stage of our relationship at the moment, filled with tons of excitement.
I shall be heading out to live with him for 3 long months in a few weeks, and we are using this time as the first part of our life together really. After this, we plan to make further steps.
I am super excited and I know my hubby is too.
Some people say SL relationships don't work. Well, they do, and they CAN. I think we and many others a proof of that <3

I had the chance to shoot this adorable baby today! So smiley and happy with those big blue eyes...she found her thumb after awhile and then nodded off to sleep :)
Yes, that's right...a somewhat foldable 5 month old! It rocked!
This is what you'll get during photoshoot - fusion of fun & satisfaction.
Have a Great Day to all My Flickr Friends.
