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.
Happy Slider Sunday

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

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today we celebrate a green day at Color my World Daily. And in Montreal we have another cold winter day. Once again my schedule is completely hectic this week and my picture was inspired by this situation… Sometimes I just want to take everyone and everything important to me, put it in a space shuttle and go to another galaxy far far away for a family vacation (Cuba ??) ! Just like Madame Giraffe here : she is making sure that everything she needs is nicely packed before she goes on vacation…
But for now: I just need my coffee and I will be good.
See you later my friends !! I wish you an amazing day !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

They have a highly audible song for such a small bird. It took several minutes before I could locate him as he sang a few phrases from one place, and then started again in another location. Luckily for me, he flew down to an open perch very close where he sang and raised his crown.
It was a bright overcast backlight situation. I was close enough to get detail though, and I really like the way those red crown feathers were lighted from behind.
If you have never heard its song, Check the link below.

The rain was very close , but so was the sun that was to follow, so just turn your back, and wait for the show to start. What a situation is an old reggae track by Slim Smith, and is fine as i always seem to relish situations like these.
What is my Halloween costume? Obviously, a whole other person with a sweet tooth.

Since everyone is busy at the same time and has a lot to do,
it is extremely important to travel away from
it all to reflect at a distance on our actual situation in the present and to interpret the secret laws
that rule our lives.

All my insect pics are single, handheld macro shots of live insects in wild situations.
..is neither an invention of the current situation nor limited to human beings. When I saw these trees on my hiking trip on Friday along river Else I immediately had the words of Khalil Gibran (The prophet / on marriage) in my mind :
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each
other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain
your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.

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
D-Day 76 years later! Let's not forget all these Heroes! Never forget to never repeat such atrocities
Si cette année la situation sanitaire est sans précédent, il ne faut pas pour autant oublier ces millions de vies gâchées par une soif intarissable d'atrocités !! 76 ans après il nous reste ce devoir de mémoire, qui ne doit jamais s'arrêter !!!! Pour ne jamais oublier ces personnes qui ont donnés leurs vies pour notre Liberté !

If this year the health situation is unprecedented, we should not forget these millions of lives spoiled by an inexhaustible thirst for atrocities !! 76 years later, we still have this duty of memory, which must never stop !!!! To never forget his people who gave their lives for our Freedom!
Shot taken originally from the fall as I was unable to visit my preferred park this morning. No issues, sometimes you just need to adjust your plans given the current situation!
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...
"We don't need more to be thankful for, we just need to be more thankful."

I often find myself reframing my thoughts when facing a task, especially one as mundane as housework. Instead of filling the sink with warm sudsy water and thinking "I HAVE to do the dishes"...I change the thought to be "I am thankful I have dishes to wash." It works in all sorts of situations in life. Try it. You might be surprised that you are more thankful for your life than you knew!
My thanks to a former student who shared that thought with me. Teachers learn more from their students than perhaps the students learn from their teachers.
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.)
Be brave in the face of problems and situations that require it, be your own hero...
