rudolph is a christmas decoration that hector adopted. he's been through so much--stuffing replacement, leg surgery, head reattachment....
he is hector's favorite stuffed friend!
well, this morning rupert took him hostage for a brief time. as you can see here, rudolph wasn't going anywhere fast.

In Berlin ist ein so verwegener Menschenschlag beisammen, daß man mit Delikatesse nicht weit reicht, sondern daß man Haare auf den Zähnen haben und mitunter etwas grob sein muß, um sich über Wasser zu halten. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Mai 1778.
Und manchmal ist Berlin auch ganz friedlich und freundlich, so wie hier :) Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen ersten Mai, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
More from the recent walk at the Rudolph Wilde Park in Berlin's Schöneberg district. This is on top of the historical Subway station building that you can see in my previous photo (which you can also find in the first comment). I took it just before we walked down the stairs to the duck pond, where I found the selfie graffiti on the handrail.
While the sky had been positively wild on that sunny day, the mood was relaxed and peaceful, families were out and about, and everybody enjoyed the warmth. Berlin has a rather unflattering reputation of being pretty harsh, rough, and rude, that goes back as far as the days of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who stated after a visit (his only visit) to Berlin in May 1778 that "In Berlin, there are such gruffy people that one doesn't get far with delicacy, but needs a sharp tongue, and sometimes must be a little rude to keep one's head above water." Which is what we Berliners call "with heart and attitude". Really, Berliners aren't that terrible ;)
On that note, peace, dear Flickr friends, and have a nice 1st of May :)
This little doe was in the marsh one morning
when I came by, it was very windy and she looked
at me and I stood there looking at her. She was trying to
hear me and her ears were blowing all over the place !
She stayed for awhile then walked right pass me !
... the red-nosed, red-eyed, and red-bodied dragonfly! I believe this is an Autumn Meadowhawk (Sympetrum vicinum). Spotted near Brandon, Vermont.
This is a two-shot handheld focus stack, where I'd first tried to stack the wrong two shots. It didn't work, so just forgot about it. But I just re-did the stack this morning, and am now quite happy with the result!
Vivitar Series 1 105mm F/2.5 Macro, Raynox DCR-250 and off-camera diffused Yongnuo-YN-560 III. Pretty near MFD, as I recall...
