On closer inspection, some of the scrolled feet of the benches are actually floating off the floor.

And now for something completely different .....

My apologies to the writers of "Good Golly Miss Molly," for ever so slightly tinkering with the lyrics, in the name of good old Flickr fun. I simply changed the word "ball" for "Tulip." See and hear how the classic song should be sung by clicking on the following link, which will take you to a fun film version.

First, though, a viewing tip. Please right click on the link, and select "open link in new tab." That way you can have the music playing in the background while viewing this series of shots at the same time. You can also switch to the video at anytime in that other window to feast on Little Richard's astonishing performance.

I, personally, found it best to scroll down each picture in time with the song. One final thing, there are twenty-eight seconds of dialogue from the film scene before The King, Little Richard, struts his stuff. It took some time to put all this together but I had fun. Hope you guys do too. So here we go, here's that link ~~~

I thought of my husband when I photographed this flower. He is a violin maker. This flower has its own beautiful scrolls. They remind me of the scrolls of his violins. Well, art imitates life all of the time. I like all types of art because art makes me feel and feeling is an essential part of being alive. A good day, afternoon, evening or night to all!

Doom scrolling perhaps - which is so much easier to do when almost everything going on is doom-worthy. Honestly... what a world we are in! January has been a long year so far!

Mount Moriah Cemetery, Yeadon & Philadelphia, Pa. Mount Moriah was established in 1855 as one of the first rural pastoral cemeteries in the country. Many famous persons including Betsey Ross were buried there. After decades of neglect the cemetery was officially abandoned in 2011. A group of volunteers formed the “Friends of Mount Moriah” to clear the cemetery of the overgrowth of vines, trees, & weeds that made it unsuitable for visits. The Friends of Mount Moriah also maintains & updates records, and works to establish a legal entity for the cemetery. More information is available at friendsofmountmoriahcemetery.org/

Scrolled. Or screwed. Almost. Why? Because I almost managed to break my violin, the macro lens and the camera while taking this shot. What had happened? Well, in order to get the best shooting distance without piling box upon box and then my small table top tripod on top of it all, I mounted my camera on my small traveller tripod, camera pointing lens down to my violin's neck and scroll. So far, so good. I should mention, however, that, while the camera was mounted tightly and safely on the tripod, I had placed my violin on several cardboard boxes to get the right distance to the camera and the background. You know what was happening next, don't you? So I moved the violin, because the scroll wasn't quite centered, then thought "Why not move the tripod instead?," and... bang. Because the boxes moved as well. Next thing I know is that I still tried to catch the camera, but too late, the camera on tripod fell right onto my violin's neck. I heard a nasty sound. And thought "That's it." After a short moment of shock I thought, "OK, so you had a filter and the lens hood (which was still on the lens, but at a rather weird angle) attached, so the lens and camera are probably OK." They were. Phew. Then I took an anxious look at my violin. Still OK as well. Another phew. As it is, the lens hood (which is retractable, it's rather cool) had taken most of the impact, and all that actually happened was that the E-string broke. Huge phew. And the moral of this story? Don't place your stuff on cardboard boxes. Oh, and I forgot: this was lit from below and the side (right).

Needless to say I decided to stop taking more captures afterwards. It was late again anyway. Processed, as usual, in Luminar (develop filter, Accent-Al filter, detail enhancer, microstructure). Then on to Nik's Silver Efex for the black and white conversion. I started off with a preset this time, the "full spectrum inverted" (my translation, it's preset no. 018) which I still tweaked a little, then back to LR for finishing touches (colour preset "high contrast and details", yes, it works for b&w images as well 😉).

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Zur Schnecke gemacht

Fast. Fast wären nämlich meine Geige und mein Makroobjetiv bei dieser Aktion zu Bruch gegangen. Was war passiert? Um die nötige Distanz zum Motiv, der Schnecke meiner Geige, zu bekommen, hatte ich dieses Mal vernünftigerweise die Kamera gleich kopfüber am (nicht ausgefahrenen) kleinen Manfrotto Elements befestigt, anstatt wie sonst üblich einen Karton auf den anderen zu stapeln und zum Schluss das kleine Tischstativ obendrauf zu stellen. So weit, so gut, so sicher. Dafür kamen besagte Kartons aber als Unterlage für die Geige zum Einsatz, um genug Abstand zum Hintergrund zu haben und noch ein Stückchen näher an die Kamera zu kommen (das Makro hat 19 cm Mindestabstand). Es kam, wie es kommen musste, ich arrangierte die Schnecke noch ein wenig mittiger, verrückte dann das Stativ noch ein bisschen - und die Kartons verrückten sich dann wie von Zauberhand selbst, was das Stativ zum Umkippen brachte. Natürlich direkt auf den Hals meiner Geige. Krack. Ich dachte schon "Das war's", aber nach einer kurzen Schrecksekunde konnte ich feststellen, dass die (aus- und einfahrbare) Gegenlichtblende den Sturz abgefedert hatte. Uff. Nicht mal der Filter hatte was abbekommen. Die Geige auch nicht. Lediglich die E-Saite war gerissen. Glück gehabt. Danach habe ich die Kamera dann aber abgebaut und die Geige wieder sicher verstaut, Lust auf weitere Kopfüber-Makros hatte ich nicht mehr. Aber zum Glück war ein brauchbares Foto im Kasten, das ich dann in Luminar (vor-)entwickelt habe (regulärer Entwickeln-Filter, Accent-Al-Filter, Details und Microstruktur) und in Niks Silver Efex in SW umgewandelt habe. Hier habe ich als Startpunkt ausnahmsweise mal eine der Voreinstellungen (018, "vollständiges Spektrum invertiert") genommen und dann noch ein bisschen angepasst. In LR habe ich dann noch die Voreinstellung "Farbe - Hoher Kontrast / Details (ja, funktioniert auch bei SW-Bildern 😉) für mehr "Knackigkeit" verwendet. Ach ja, beleuchtet hatte ich das Ganze von rechts und von unten.

Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

✦ The Nova Dress by Just BECAUSE ✦

The Nova Dress is more than attire—it is a symphony of aesthetic finesse and elegance. Like a violin tuned to perfection, it resonates with harmony and poise, each detail striking the perfect note. The sweetheart neckline opens softly, like the first bow against strings, while off-shoulder lace sleeves cascade with the grace of a lingering melody. Its fitted silhouette builds momentum like a crescendo, cinching the waist and flowing into a playful lace hem that leaves an echo long after you’ve passed.

✧ The Score of Style ✧

Every element is composed with precision: the delicate bow at the chest ties together innocence and allure, while scalloped lace edges soften the boldness of its modern cut. The included high heels complete the orchestration, a finale that ensures the look remains seamless from head to toe.

✧ Embroidery & Renaissance Origins ✧

The fabric hums with the intricate acanthus leaf motif, drawn from the opulent tradition of the Italian Renaissance. First played in the courts of Venice and Florence, these curling foliate scrolls became the favored ornament of nobility, a visual counterpart to the music of lutes and violins filling candlelit halls. Just BECAUSE revives this motif in modern form, digitally embroidered with PBR technology—each highlighted curve flourishes like notes suspended in air.

✧ Compatible Mesh Bodies ✧

• Maitreya LaraX

• Legacy + Perky

• Reborn

• Waifu

✧ HUD Options ✧

• A palette of dress tones as varied as instruments in an orchestra

• Coordinating heel HUD to match or play in counterpoint

• PBR technology that responds to light like the polished body of a violin

Good morning everyone....and as the title indicates, today's posting is the thirteenth in a series of local avian winter residents. Featured today is the Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura), which is also known as the American Mourning Dove.

Since these are strictly ground feeders I do not see a lot in the yard since I don't have typical or conventional type birder feeders where these birds can feed on the spillage. But occasionally a few do show and feed under the nyjer seed feeder, although the pick'ins are be slim for them.

Kind of a short series and please don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view any picture in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this pretty Dove.

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day and weekend.
