One of the very few shots of our Rudbeckia I took this summer and which I really like because of its beautiful painterly bokeh. Hope you like it too!
A nice evening at the Toronto Island Marina. Thought I would turn it sideways for a different perspective. You don't always have to see things the same way.
For Macro Mondays'assignment of the day :"Sideways, Upside-down or Backwards"
A shot taken at the front door.
There are 6 long eared owlets!! The other night I was playing peek a boo with this one and he bobbed his head up and down, then turned it completely sideways!! They are so adorable and I feel privileged to be able to photograph these special owls.

Gah!!... so annoying. I find the perfect field of poppies and its blowing a hooley. I dont mind getting a daytime shot of them as I like the combination of pink and grey (the colour of my lounge) however I would have preferred some calm and stillness without them going in all directions.
I could have got creative and arty with a slower shutter speed but Im not very good at that.
On coming back for sunset the wind dropped but there was no cloud whatsoever which was also disappointing. I did get some nice light though.. I will post that at some point this week.
When the world is going sideways, I know my place is here with you.

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
This green bee-eater (merops orientalis) was glancing sideways at a couple of loud myna birds that had "invaded" its tree. The mynas soon flew off to resume their chattering elsewhere and the bee-eater stayed put. Photographed near Thissamaharama, in Sri Lanka.
A small Weevil, about 2 or 3mm long, on a leaf. Photographed in Maryland.
A focus stack of five 2:1 magnification photos, shot handheld. Canon 80D, Canon 65mm MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash set 1/32 power.
one of the most challenging yet interesting themes I've come across in photography. The camera was rotated 90 degrees to obtain the results. HMM everyone!
This infrared shot was taken in Dorset last month with a Nikon D70 converted to Infrared by Advanced Camera Services in the UK.

And with a turn of the head we have this view in color. I am surprised how still it remained as I leaned inward to take this photo.
A red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus) glancing sideways from a lofty perch in a pine tree. Photographed in Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius.
Are dogmas unnecessary?
The adequacy of dogmas depends on whether they claim to formulate or to allude; in the first case they flaunt and fail, in the second they indicate and illumine. To be adequate they must retain a telescopic relation to the theme in which they refer, must point to the mysteries of God rather than picture them. All they can do is indicate a way, not mark and end, of thinking. Unless they serve as humble signposts on the way dogmas are obstacles...
...Unless we realize that dogmas are tentative rather then final, that they are accommodations rather than definitions, intimations rather than descriptions; unless we learn how to share the moment and the insight to which they are trying to testify, we stand guilty of literalmindedness, of pretending to know what cannot be put into words; we are guilty of intellectual idolatry. The indispensable function of the dogmas is to make it possible to rise above them.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel, as quoted from pg. 49 of The Genesis of Faith-The Depth Theology of Abraham Joshua Heschel, by John C. Merkle
Just a palm tree and a sunset taken while on holiday hopefully more abstract in this orientation. I know I could turn it in Windows but I think I will leave it. About to travel again and not sure of internet where we are going.
Thanks very much to all who viewed or commented yesterday and dragged my stream view count over 11 million at last!
Edit: Now rotated correctly
