Psalm 91
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
This is the dominant hummingbird of the Rio Grande Valley. Despite its omnipresence in the RGV, I took a couple weeks and several locations to secure any good photos. I caught them high in trees, zipping away from flowers, often only getting a fleeting look. With persistence, though, I managed to find a few that were kind enough to pose and hang out long enough to photograph.
Moderate risk with rough or very rough seas, possible coastal erosion and delays to maritime connections. Caution is advised, especially for recreational boating and beach activities, which may be prohibited. It is necessary to secure objects exposed to the wind, avoid piers and breakwaters, and pay attention to areas near the coast.
A large tumulus and dolmen on the Gavrinis island in the Gulf of Morbihan. The island is around 600m long today and was perhaps 1km long in the Neolithic. A 50m diameter tumulus rises to around 7m and covers a dolmen with a gallery around 1.5 metres wide and 14 long. 29 slabs make up the 'Allée couverte' of which 23 are carved. One of the table stones is a part of a larger original carved stone that was moved around the dates of construction to three sites of massive megaliths on each side of the opening of the Bay of Morbhian into the Quiberon's Atlantic. I have yet to find the estimated original weight of the original carved stone but it is over 60 tonnes. The carved stone was split between 'du Rujk', Gavrinis and the 'Table des Merchand'. The Gavrinis element was covered in plastic several decades ago and the site is currently shut to remove the plastic which can promote a rotting of the stone.

...there's a secure vaccine against Covid-19? I wish it would happen so soon. What definitely is guaranteed, though, is that from today it's 45 days until Christmas Eve :) And whether you celebrate or not, I'm sure that on everybody's wishlist is also a vaccine.
I had little – or rather no – other choice for "Puzzle" but this Ravensburger Christmas bauble jigsaw puzzle ball, because I don't own any other puzzles. I love to play Adventure games, and puzzles are a part of the gaming routine, but real life puzzles? Nil. So back to the bauble: It depicts a cosy forest Christmas scene with lots of snow, a starry blue hour sky, a Christmas tree (of course) and the forest animals – such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, birds – gathering around various feeders; in short it depicts almost everything that makes you go "Aaawwwww!" when you think of Christmas (please see the fourth comment to see the whole bauble) :) At first I really didn't know how to photograph this pretty puzzle ball in an interesting way. But then I thought "I puzzled it together, so I can also take it apart again, let's take a look inside." What looked like a fragile construction consisting of 60 parts (diameter of the ball: 7 cm / 2,7 inches, the small round parts which you can see here each have a diameter of 4 mm / 0,15 inches) proved to be very sturdy and definitely "take-apart-resistant", but in the end I succeeded to pull out one piece from the starry blue hour sky.
On the inside, the pieces are white, of course, but they are also numbered, and at first I thought I'd pick piece No 1, but then I remembered that I'd already shot numbers on a toy piece for "one Color", so I looked for a nice puzzle piece pattern instead and found this star. I secured the backlit puzzle ball between two large pieces of modeling clay to prevent it from rolling away (it had happened a few times in the beginning), and photographed directly through the hole where piece No. 60 had been; the shape of the vignette is the negatice space of missing piece No. 60.
The photo is a single 40 MP High-Res mode shot, and I had to do a lot of dusting and fuzz removal. Those dark spots, however, are part of the plastic pieces, so I didn't remove them all. Processed in Topaz DeNoise AI ("Low Light" mode at N: 7, S: 67, R: 3, CN 14), Luminar 4 (Detail enhancement – small at 79, medium at 41, large at 3), Viveza and Analog Efex.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and take care!
Noch 45 Tage bis... zu einem sicheren Covid-19-Impfstoff für alle? Schön wär's. Was wir aber alle ganz sicher in 45 Tagen feiern werden: richtig, Heiligabend :) Und ein sicherer Impfstoff dürfte auch auf jedermanns und jederfraus Wunschzettel stehen. Warum aber dieser Schlenker zu Weihnachten, wenn das Thema doch "Puzzle" ist? Weil das einzige "richtige" Puzzle, das ich im Haus habe, ein Ravensburger "Christmas Puzzle Ball" ist. Bestehend aus 60 erstaunlich fest zusammenhaltenden Puzzleteilen.
Zuerst wusste ich nicht recht, wie ich ihn ansprechend fotografieren sollte; von außen ist er nett anzuschauen, zeigt eine Weihnachtswaldszene mit viel Schnee, einem Sternenhimmel, natürlich einer geschmückten Tanne und vielen Tieren, darunter Rotwild, Eichhörnchen, Hasen und vielen Vögeln, die sich an diversen Futterkrippen zum Weihnachtsschmaus eingefunden haben. So weit, so hübsch. Aber ob das ein spannendes Foto ergeben würde? Also dachte ich mir, ich entferne mal eines der Puzzleteile und schaue hinein. Die Rückseite der Puzzleteile ist weiß und jedes trägt eine Nummer. Zunächst habe ich auch auf die Nummern fokussiert, genauer auf Teil Nr. 1, aber dann fiel mir wieder ein, dass ich bereits für "one Colour" vor zwei Wochen die winzigen Nummern auf einem Spielzeugteil fotografiert hatte. Deshalb habe ich dann nach einem interessanten Puzzlemuster Ausschau gehalten – und fand diesen Stern.
Von hinten beleuchtet (und die Kugel mit zwei Stücken Bastelknete fixiert, weil sie anfangs immer wegrollte) und direkt durch das Loch, das Puzzleteil Nr. 60 hinterlassen hat, hindurchfotografiert. Die Ränder der Vignette sind also der negative Raum des fehlenden Puzzleteilchens. Ich musste ganz schön viele Fussel in PS entfernen; die dunklen Pünktchen sind aber in den Plastikteilchen drin, also habe ich nicht alle von ihnen weggestempelt. Entwickelt in Topaz DeNoise AI ("Low Light" Modus, N: 7, S: 67, R: 3, CN 14), Luminar 4 (Detailverbesserung, klein: 79, mittel: 41, groß 3), Viveza und Analog Efex.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, bleibt gesund!
This is the only member of the genus Mnitilta, which means "moss plucking". They have an unusually long hind toe and claw on each foot. This adaptation allows them to move securely on the surface of tree bark.
Having excavated the old mortar between the stones of this ruined building, these Sand Martins have a secure nesting location, albeit it's next to a busy cafe and car park. The birds aren't bothered at all and have been there for many years
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

This bridge is built at a historical location in Nijmegen, “De Oversteek” (which means “The Crossing”), where American soldiers crossed the river to secure the existing Waal bridge, dated from 1936, which was biggest arch bridge in Europe (244 m) at the time of completion, during the operation Market Garden.
