i hope i am not jinxing anyone, but it really does look like spring is here to stay! and sheesh!!! it is about time!

enough already with the rain. reminds me of my sailing days, when my motto was: "water, water everywhere but where you really want it!" sheesh.

yes, yes, a rare selfie....hello, everyone. here i am, hard at work, up to my earballs in glass and mesh and more glass. trying to get in closer without getting in the picture. sheesh! so much for that.

 

best seen large, so hit "L"

tried to figure out if this shade of purple was lilac or lavender...and if you spell lavender with an e or an a in the last syllable. what's more, i have not figured out how to adjust the color on this laptop, so who knows what the heck you are seeing... and furthermore, you may be color blind or i may be! sheesh. feel free to weigh in. for my education and insight! naming images can be stressful! :))

Amber or Amer Fort is located in Amer (a town with an area of 4 km2), 11 kilometres from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. It is one of the principal tourist attractions in the Jaipur area, located high on a hill.Amer Fort was built by Raja Man Singh I. Amer Fort is known for its artistic style of Hindu elements. With its large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks the Maota Lake, at its forefront.

 

The aesthetic ambiance of this formidable fort is seen within its walls on a four level layout plan (each with a courtyard) in a well turned out opulent palace complex built with red sandstone and marble consisting of the Diwan-e-Aam or the "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-e-Khas or the "Hall of Private Audience", the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over the water cascade within the palace. Hence, the Amer Fort is also popularly known as the Amer Palace.

 

The palace was lived in by the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort’s Ganesh Gate, there is also a temple dedicated to Sila Devi, a goddess of the Chaitanya cult which was given to Raja Man Singh when he had defeated the Raja of Jessore, Bengal in 1604. (Jessore is now in Bangladesh).

 

This fort, along with Jaigarh Fort, located immediately above on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the same Aravalli range of hills, is considered as one complex, as the two are well connected by a subterranean passage. This passage was meant as an escape route in times of war for the royal family members and others in the Amer Fort to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.

 

Annual tourist visitation to the Amer Palace in Amer town was reported by the Superintendent of Department of Archaeology and Museums to the Amer Palace as 5000 visitors a day, and 1.4 million visitors were reported during 2007.

Found this leaf on a dead stump in the woods. Or maybe I put it there. Sheesh! I can't remember everything, folks. :)

Oh dear, I should learn when to stop and admit defeat. Forkfeat? Have I forkfeited my macro luck? This is the second to last image I took today. Not to mention the photos I've taken yesterday. Many photos. Too many photos. Of the same two forks. Sheesh! Forks aren't my friends, it seems. Well, but since I've spent so much time trying to come up with something, I can't skip MM, of course I can't ;)

 

Well, so what you see are two two-pronged serving forks, the smaller fork in focus, the bigger one as bokeh. I'd stuck them together with the prongs pointing into the opposite direction, fixated "head" down by a clasp, and reflected on a black tile. The plan had been to capture both intertwined forks and their reflections, and most of it in focus, and in that I succeeded, but I didn't like the carefully dusted (but still dusty) background. The dreaded macro dust didn't dissolve into nice bokeh this time, because some of it inevitably was in the same line of focus as the prongs' tips were – because to make the image work the way I'd invisioned it, I had to focus on the prongs' tips at the point where they "meet" their reflection. It looked quite nice, actually, but have I mentioned the dusty surface of the tile?

 

So the setup for this – final – image has been pretty much the same, except that this time I'd allowed more blur and got closer to the prongs' tips – which eliminated the dust. I do hope that the next theme will be an easier one, but knowing myself... ;)

 

Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!

....after i took a few shots of this red-winged blackbird he decided i invaded his territory long enough

...and started flying low over my head while squawking and man was he loud.

..sheesh i only wanted to take a few pics

the funny thing is they breed and have their nests close by the boardwalk at the lake

...makes me wonder how many people had their heads scraped by being attacked

  

I was taking shots of this fence when suddenly a family of elephants came passing by...sheesh! Makes one wonder, doesn't it?

Apparently, they occur only in New England in late August, and can only be seen by plastic cameras. The dream continues. Hate that this must end.

The Lahore Fort, locally referred to as Shahi Qila (Urdu: شاهی قلعہ) is citadel of the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is located in the northwestern corner of the Walled City of Lahore. The trapezoidal composition is spread over 20 hectares.

 

Origins of the fort go as far back as antiquity, however, the existing base structure was built during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar (1556–1605), and was regularly upgraded by subsequent rulers, having thirteen gates in all.[1] Thus the fort manifests the rich traditions of Mughal architecture.[2] Some of the famous sites inside the fort include: Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. In 1981, the fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Shalimar Gardens (Lahore).

 

we sit here, somewhere between winter and spring. every year, same thing. just hoping the last snow doesn't kill off the baby flowers. sheesh, already!

finally, after noodling around with this glass for over a year, i have one to post. so, technically i can give it back or away or whatever. sheesh!

Left a pollen spill all over the place! Sheesh!

De los más impresionantes, sin embargo, son el Khas Mahal - una caja de joyas con diseños florales tallados en las paredes .

de mármol blanco - y el Sheesh Mahal, un palacio increíblemente bello decorado con mosaicos de miles de pequeños espejos.

Varios de los edificios están hechos de mármol puro, con hermosas tallas; todos estos monumentos marcan el apogeo de un arte indo-musulmán fuertemente marcado por influencias de Persia.

El emperador Shah Jahan, quien construyó el Taj Mahal, fue encarcelado por su hijo Aurangzeb en el Fuerte Agra. Se dice que Shah Jahan murió en el Musamman Burj, una torre con un hermoso balcón de mármol.

 

Sheesh. Couldn't even get a LHF move.

 

Adrian & Blissfield GP-9 1752 shoves a short cut of empty tank cars back east to its small yard at Adrian, MI after working W2 Fuel on the western outskirts of town. This after heading west completely backlit pulling three loads.

 

The rest of my day was similarly successful as I awaited arrival of the snow and ice storm of the century, which blanketed the northern 25% of the US from coast to coast. Good timing on my part.

 

The one noteworthy part of this scene is the 1867 stone arch bridge over the South Branch Raisin River, the oldest known non-covered bridge in Michigan.

Sheesh it was hot that day.

...and all before 1:00 in the afternoon! Bad, bad influences they are...went right to hell in a handbasket! Sheesh!

my hubby and i are watching this aging horror show together. we'd like to switch channels but someone lost the clicker.

 

sheesh.

a favorite stuffed toy....61 years old and never grew up....sheesh!

But...at least the sun was out....sheesh!

 

Taken this fine Spring morning, lol!

 

Yes...we got fresh snow, aren't I lucky? (insert sarcasm here)

So full of sweet goodness, it has its own Halo. Sheesh, 30 shots just to get this one...

Sheesh Mahal or Mirror palace at Amer fort, Jaipur.

I know this is not the ideal name for such a prestige canine, but I think it’s suiting, not only because his head is egg shaped but eggs Benedict is so yummy. And sheesh, now I want some eggs. 🍳

The sunset wakes of a pair of Mallard ducks. Alas, the good sunsets have been fickle this year.... but at least it did finally warm up temporarily..... a forecast high of 86F today and 37F tomorrow.... sheesh.... summer to winter in one day.....

The small transport is not going anywhere, and elite Shock Trooper "Mel" is alone with two plain-vanilla troopers. Oh sheesh.

One time in a night in my life, I went to see Eddie Argos in Art Brut and he exclaimed that a Modern Lovers set was taking place across town with Jonathan Richman and he'd rather be there.

 

No matter how many times I have seen Richman play, I am consumed by the genuineness behind the human and the way he envelopes the audience. He hasn't danced as much on these recent shows, which is why I am glad cameras exist...sheesh, can you imagine if they didn't?!?!

...and look at ol' Mother Nature down there, just SLEEPING so peacefully.... Sheesh.

 

Well, the soggy saga continues in this typist's real life, for as we play in Second Life, REAL LIFE happens!

 

Today the tarp that is temporarily protecting what used to be our sky light has gotten holes in it from the high winds and pounding rain, so I've had another mess to clean up in our kitchen - the old pots n' pans method are currently what we're using to keep the water from getting all over the floor. More storms expected tonight through tomorrow. Yay n' stuff!! ....Gotta love it.

What a long gray spell we are in. Sheesh!

Might be some sun tomorrow.

hope you all are hanging in there with all the holiday gyrations we face this year. sheesh!

 

Unfortunately not a great shot, but this lovely friend only hung out for a few seconds. This red-spotted purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis) landed outside the Alex Cole Cabin at the Jim Bales Place on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. (So many prepositions, sheesh.)
