I hate it when that happens

Sometimes I see potential in a photo for these effects. Sometimes I just go willy nilly and see what happens. Sometimes I just put the photo in the trash and start over.
This is done using a layer mask and blur effect in Photoshop Elements.

Covid situation getting worse..our whole state of Victoria is in lockdown now due to the spread of the delta variant to the regional areas. Too many infectious cases not in isolation in the community and too many mystery cases that cannot be linked to known clusters is making it very hard to control the spread.
Today is day 202 of lockdown for us in Melbourne since the start of the pandemic.
Still we are better off than the poor souls who are trying to flee Afghanistan !
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.
Happy Saturday

These folks have replaced the traditional barking dog with ‘guard cacti’. Really who says cacti in everyday speak? The fence is only in the front of the property and does not extend around the side. Obviously there are plans for more cactus plants in the future. I think there should be a sign saying, “Beware of Cacti. Get the point? You could be stuck until the police arrive.” As Robin would say, “Holy prickly situation, Batman.”

During the holidays, Peter and Oleg visited some castles in Luxembourg. Peter (Prince Peter) is still looking for a castle for his sweet princess Rosie. www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/ In the castle of Beaufort they also visited the torture chamber.
PETER:
Oleg?? That thing I'm sitting on won't turn around anymore
I can't go up and I can't go down.
What should I do now?
OLEG:
Sit still...give me your left paw and I'll pull you up
And so it happened
Peter and Oleg survived the torture chamber
Hi everyone... I want to give everyone an update... I still struggle with chronic pain on a daily basis. I have been without a source of income for several months so if you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

Dove on the Nest - Las Garzas - March 2017-2 LR
A woman walked down to the shore of the green space with her dog, off leash. The dog proceeded to run out after this egret, causing it to relocate. She tried calling it back, but it would have nothing to do with her. She needs to use that leash, as required by law!!! First comment is moments before, as the dog charges...

There we were again, in a situation that would somehow be forbidden but, I don't know if thanks to his position as Major or perhaps because of his intimidating presence, nobody seemed to prevent. The metallic sound of the hangar felt like a distant echo in my ears as the runaway rhythm of my pulse mixed with the beat of the "engine" of his heart whilst the air escaped from my lips noticing the strength of his hold.
I reached his eyes at the same time my hands moved over his "double skin", a layer that worked both, as his clothes and armour, until I reached his face, trying to feel him, longing for that trace in the form of a caress to remain engraved somehow. That closeness and the intensity of his gaze caused a chill to run through my entire body.
I knew that he had to leave and I only hoped that, in that moment, he could read in my eyes everything that I could not express in words while my hand rested on him, seeking to bring him closer, to shorten that minimum distance and thus, be able to reach their lips and seal that farewell...
ESP:
Ahí estábamos de nuevo, en una situación que de alguna manera estaría prohibida pero que, no sé si gracias a su cargo de Major o quizá por su presencia intimidante, nadie parecía impedir. El sonido metálico del hangar se sentía como un eco lejano en mis oídos ya que el ritmo desbocado de mi pulso se mezclaba el latido del "motor" de su corazón mientras el aire se escapaba de mis labios al notar la fuerza con la que me sujetaba.
Alcancé sus ojos a la vez que mis manos se movían sobre su “doble piel”, una capa que hacía tanto de su ropa como de armadura, hasta llegar su rostro, haciendo por sentirle, anhelando que ese trazo en forma de caricia se quedase grabado de algún modo. Esa cercanía y la intensidad de su mirada provocaron que un escalofrió recorriese todo mi cuerpo.
Sabía que tenía que irse y sólo esperaba que, en ese momento, él pudiese leer en mis ojos todo aquello que no podía expresar con palabras mientras mi mano se apoyaba en él, buscando por acercarle, por acortar esa mínima distancia y así, poder alcanzar sus labios y sellar esa despedida...

A lot of wildlife photographers will recognize the situation in which the subject is compelling, but the shooting conditions are crappy.
That's what happened here. The light was harsh and the subjects were down a steep embankment making it impossible to get a good shooting angle. But what we have here is a clash between a Marbled Godwit (right) and a Hudsonian Godwit (left). I couldn't resist posting shot of the rare nature moment. The two species didn't get along very well and entertained us with their squabbling for a few minutes. The outcome of the scuffle was a surprise. The smaller HG made a nifty move and jabbed its bill into the chest of the MG. That must have smarted and the bigger bird immediately left the vicinity.
This twofer is fifth in my shorebird series. One more tomorrow.

There’s a male Phainopepla living in my yard—shiny black, crest slicked back, and convinced he’s the main character. He zooms around the firethorn bush like he owns it (because he does), flashing feathers and singing the same song over and over. Field guides say they mimic other birds—mine doesn’t. He has standards.
Then came the female, elegant, gray, mysterious. They’re clearly nesting, though I’ve never looked. Why? Because I’m not a nest-peeping weirdo. Some things are better left private, especially when your yard is hosting the goth power couple of the desert.
Couplet
He gleams like obsidian, sings with control
And treats my backyard like it’s rock & roll.
(Obsidian – A sleek, glassy black rock made from fast-cooled lava, often used for tools, weapons, and metaphors involving stylish birds.)
(The first time I heard the word Phainopepla, I thought it sounded like a Scandinavian shampoo, or maybe a Mediterranean side dish that costs $14 and comes with exactly one olive. According to science, it’s pronounced fay-no-PEP-la, but let’s be honest: even the bird doesn’t know how to say it.)
perhaps this is one of my favorite situations of my work, when a hundred years of life in one click of the camera shutter.
The story develops by itself, it remains only to silently smoke outside the edge of the frame ..

"..The Old Rock has always been here. But there were many worries, and I looked through it.. When we are young we all run.. Now my children and grandchildren drive cattle themselves. Having grown old, I look at these stones all the days, sitting in front of the yurt.."
They are bound, the old rock, and the old woman. Bound in this desert for a century. Soon the woman will leave, and the eagles nesting on this rock will peck at her body in the desert among these stones, as her mother and father too..
In the corral behind the yurt, a small white kid is closed.. he always wants to run... And a little boy, great-grandson, constantly runs away from the old woman to him too,
He is dressed in the clothes of a small girl - Spirits should not know for the time being..
- he is the heir of this old yurt, near the Old Rock
