The photography that I practice takes place in a specific time and place, depicting real moments in people’s lives. In some ways I think of myself as a historian, but not of the word. History is most often written from a distance, and rarely from the viewpoint of those who endured it :-)

I always appreciate this specific summer color combination of dark purple iron weed and the rich orange of the monarch...... but I must admit that it seems to take on a more vibrant quality as the days of mid-winter monotone drag on . And a photo that I glibly passed over amid the gluttony of summer's riotous color, assumes a more profound aspect against the backdrop of January's frozen gray .
If I was to show you a book on a specific topic, and it had details and photos to contribute to its distinct message to get across its topic clearly, and then I said that no one wrote this book, it just appeared out of nowhere, would that not be ridiculous, because you can tell by its structure etc that there was a mind behind its creation. Like wise but in a much more profound way the things we see in nature with its complexity and order, shows beyond any doubt the existence of a mind that's way beyond our finite understanding, yet clearly discernible by what's made.

Kleiner Feuerfalter (Lycaena Phaeas)
Lycaena phlaeas, the small copper, American copper, or common copper, is a butterfly of the Lycaenids or gossamer-winged butterfly family. According to Guppy and Shepard (2001), its specific name phlaeas is said to be derived either from the Greek phlego, "to burn up" or from the Latin floreo, "to flourish".

So it would seem this is my first apparent attempt at Dark Macro which seems to be a trend emerging on Instagram so I have recently learned. With my last post proving to be a disaster it would seem sometimes it's, as in music as well, for example, Gothic Metal (Minority) vs Chart Music (Mass Popularity); Photography fairs no better as sometimes abstract artistic creation is only for those who appreciate that specific expression.
With that said I do however appreciate all the faves, follows, comments and feedback I really do! So, I hope everyone is well and, as always, thank you!
The specific name "pendulum" comes from the Latin adjective pendŭlus, a, um (= pendant, dangling) in relation to the pendulous branches and stems that characterize this species.
It loves acidic and humus-rich soils, from 600 to 2400 meters.
An interesting species of sunbird specific to a small part of the Western range of mountains / hills and forests in India. This bird is endemic to that region. The area hosts many types of sunbirds and this is one of the colorful ones.
Slightly bigger than the regular Purple / Purple Rumped sunbirds around 15 cms long, these males are quite colorful with their crimson plumage. (Not to be confused with the Crimson sunbird which looks very similar, but the range doesn't overlap).
They are quite easy to sight in the region due to their color and are often found around flowering plants and trees / plants with insects and spiders. This is a lifer that we wanted very much, but despite many sightings, barely got this shot.
Thank you so much for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Had a nice session with around a dozen of these flying around a specific bush. As usual, took a few hundred shots; this is my favourite of the bunch.
Went out with good friend Tim Poulton with the specific goal of setting up this scene with his Gretsch Guitar. No guitars where harmed in the making of this. The base of the guitar was carefully masked up.

My husband built this birdhouse back in Alaska to specific sizes for swallows. Chickadees used it two years in a row. It stood high on a metal pole away from interlopers.
Then we moved here, birdhouse included, and finally, tree swallows! Sounds like quite a few hungry ones inside.

The crested barbet (Trachyphonus vaillantii) is a sub-Saharan bird in the Lybiidae family. Its specific name commemorates François Levaillant, a famed French naturalist.
With its thick bill and very colourful plumage the crested barbet is unmistakable. This small bird has a speckled yellow and red face with a small black crest. The belly is yellow with red speckles, wings are black with white specks and it has a broad black band on its neck. Yellow head and body with black and white feathers, red markings on end of body, its colour blends well in the bush. They have a distinct shrill.
The crested barbet feeds on insects, other birds' eggs and fruits. It is found in forests, savannah, suburban gardens, woodland thickets and watercourses. – Wikipedia
Those wonderful purple-mauve flowerheads of Artichoke attract lots of insects. Bees of many kinds, but also flies among which really tiny ones. I think this is a Drosophilid clutching a flower petal but I'm afraid I can't be more specific. Anyone out there in Flickrland? Thanks...
Aeshna isoceles is a small hawker dragonfly that is found in Europe, mostly around the Mediterranean, and the lowlands of North Africa. Its common name in English is green-eyed hawker. In Britain it is a rare and local species and is known as the Norfolk hawker. It has a brown colour with green eyes and clear wings and also a yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment which gave rise to its scientific name. It used to be in the genus Anaciaeschna as it has several differences from the other members of the genus Aeshna. Its specific name is often spelt isosceles.
A. isoceles is one of only two brown hawkers found in Europe, the other is A. grandis. Both have a brown thorax and abdomen but A. isoceles has green eyes and clear wings and a diagnostic yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment. The hindwings have an amber patch at their base. In contrast A. grandis has yellowish wings and blueish eyes. The green eye of A. isoceles stands out even in flight and in practice it is not difficult to tell these two dragonflies apart. In addition to the morphological differences A. isoceles is on the wing much earlier in the year than A. grandis.
(Lophophorus impejanus)
Chopta
Uttarakhand
Índia
Right on our first day in Chopa, early in the morning, we saw a group of three females right by the roadside, completely imperturbable by our presence. We got as close as a few meters from them, took hundreds of photos, and then went in search of the male(s), while they continued to foraging undisturbed by the presence of humans.
I don't remember seeing, in general, birds so confident in any other place we have been, except perhaps in The Gambia.
Of course, in Central/South America, at feeding stations, birds also do not fear humans, and in some cases (e.g., Trilha dos Tucanos in Brazil), they even land on our hands. However, we are talking about a handful of species (hummingbirds, tanagers) accustomed to humans at very specific locations.
Here, especially in Chopta, just like in The Gambia, birds seem not to be (systematically) persecuted by humans and therefore do not maintain a large safety distance as usual.

This little flat-faced longhorn beetle is a cool-looking character. They are nocturnal by nature so it was neat to find one out during the day. This species is not host-specific and it lays eggs on several different kinds of trees, including basswood and ironwood, and larvae feed on wood tissue inside the trees. Unfortunately, Astylopsis macula has been found to carry around spores from the butternut canker fungus, leading to the demise of one of our favorite woodland trees here in the Driftless Region.
As you know, tattoos have been around for a long, long time dating back to the antiquity of the Egyptian Pharaohs. People have been using different inking styles for many years. However, there are different and unique flower tattoo design ideas to commemorate an specific event in your Second Life or to simply add beauty to your body.
Chest tattoos for women on the upper side are beautiful locations on the female body that attract attention. Tattooed body parts have become new trends in the whole fashionable world.
Case in point. check out this gorgeous BOM Howlett Design's Angel Floral Chest VII Tattoo. I am also adorning Howlett Design's Butterfly Belly Tattoo to complement the butterflies in my hair. Additionally, I am wearing Alge's Fish Eyeshadow in Pink to pair flawlessly with the beauty and magic of these wonderful tattoos.
The Howlett Design's Angel Floral Chest VII & Butterfly Belly Tattoos and the Alge's Fish Eyeshadow are available at the SWANK Hollywood Glam Event this month. Come see the fabulous new creations there!

Tateyama is a large volcano. The name does not refer to a specific peak but to the group of peaks associated with the volcano.
Murodou (室堂) as well as Midagahara (弥陀ケ原) and Bijo-daira (美女平) to the west are a sequence of lava plateau.
Murodou (室堂) is located at an altitude of 2,450 m. There is a transfer station between Tateyama Tunnel Trollybus and the bus service to/from Bijo-daira (美女平) near Tateyama town proper. There is a network of trails marked by poles to explore the volcanic terrain in Murodou including hotsprings, ponds, religious buildings etc.
Tateyama is directly hit by the northwestern monsoon in winter. There is no weather station in Murodo as it is completely closed down from December to early April due to heavy snowfall. Unazuki weather station, not far from Murodou in the the Kurobe-gawa gorge, records an average annual precipitation of 3,587 mm. Murodou is supposed to have more precipitation. Wettest months are December and January.
This photo was taken at the end of April.
You can ski in Tateyama until June. There is no lift but instead you can take bus to climb back to Murodou.
The other day a friend was commenting on the clouds that appear along the Sunshine Coast vs those in Alberta. Ostensibly, those that take shape over the ocean vs those that develop in the prairies. We both came to the conclusion that although the topic of clouds was the same, the resulting forms were often different yet unique to the landscape. (so to speak)
In this image there are two distinct clouds forming in the distance, both over the ocean and developing over a distant island. Pender Island to be exact. One, filling the sky at a higher level, while the other stretching for miles at a specific height catapillaring along the ocean.
After photographing Prairie clouds for the last 26 years, I have noted in my photos they are often quite wispy, or perhaps appearing like giant whipped potatoes in a thunder cloud, or just plain leaden, covering the sky. They too come in many forms, but for the most part, look distinctively different. And, isn't it fun to just watch them as they move inexorably across the sky creating their beauty for us to photograph.
Symphyotrichum novi-belgii, the New York aster,is a species of flowering plant. It is the type species for Symphyotrichum, a genus of the family Asteraceae, whose species were once considered to be part of the genus Aster. Plants in both these genera are popularly known as "Michaelmas daisy" because they bloom around September 29, St. Michael’s Day.
The Latin specific epithet novi-belgii (literally "New Belgium") refers to the 17th century Dutch colony New Netherland which was established on land currently occupied by New York State.
I went out to take photos of a few specific places at night. After a little more than an hour I was on my way home not terribly happy with the photos I took. I was driving by Cedar Hills Crossing and decided I'm here, why not see if anywhere there looks good. Drove around the whole place and found this entrance. No one was around so I took out my camera, set it up, took several photos and left not thinking they would be anything. I was going through the photos I took and sure enough, none turned out very good - except this one. When I changed it to black and white I couldn't believe how good it looked! It's leaning because of the lens I used and I took it really low to the ground, but it works because everything is kinda pointing to the sign! And to think I almost didn't stop here.
Oh, HOW I love this specific spot, in my Chateau de La Hulpe- land blessed wanderings! In ALL Seasons! If you notice, there is only a few meters distance between the spot I took each photo. What you see here is not actually a river, but a lake, which becomes narrow-formed at a certain point, and then stops at the borders…I normally follow my path on both sides of it, turning around at a point nearby, where a little bridge exists, which it is not included in my photos….
That morning, it was a misty, velvety November week-day! With all that very special silence surrounding me ….With all those magical Earth-colours and odours…Just very few people around, but with a soft smile on their face , and bright eyes…. And a heart-warming “Bonjour!!”, every time passing close to me…
*** Wishing you all, a DELIGHTFUL Weekend!!

The Eurasian bullfinch is a bulky bull-headed bird. The upper parts are grey; the flight feathers and short thick bill are black; as are the cap and face in adults (they are greyish-brown in juveniles), and the white rump and wing bars are striking in flight. The adult male has red underparts, but females and young birds have grey-buff underparts. It moults between July and October, but males do not have the duller autumn plumage that is typical of some other finches.[9] The song of this unobtrusive bird contains fluted whistles, and is often described as 'mournful'. This Bullfinch’s usual call is a quiet, low, melancholy whistled “peeu” or “pew.” The song is audible only at close range. It is a weak, scratchy warbling, alternating with soft whistles. Tamed bullfinches can be taught to repeat specific melodies.[10] Soruce: Wikipedia.

El marcòlic vermell o lliri morat (Lilium martagon) és una espècie de planta de la família de les liliàcies. També es diu consolta vermella. És endèmic a tota Euràsia, des dels Pirineus fins a Àsia Central i Corea. És una de les plantes que hom anomena lliris i consta de diverses subespècies.
Creix en boscs o prats, a muntanya. És bulbosa perenne que fa d'un a dos metres d'alt. Les flors, nombroses en cada planta, són normalment de color porpra rosat, amb taques fosques i són flairoses.
(Avís de la Wikipedia en anglès: aquesta flor és tòxica pels gats.)
ENGLISH
Lilium martagon, the martagon lily or Turk's cap lily, is a Eurasian species of lily. It has a widespread native region extending from Portugal east through Europe and Asia as far east as Mongolia.
Horticulturally it is in Division IX (true species). It is stem-rooting, growing between 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) and 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall. The flower colour is typically a pink-purple, with dark spots, but is quite variable, extending from near white to near black. The flowers are scented. Numerous flowers are borne on each plant, and up to 50 can be found on vigorous plants. The green stems can be flushed with purple or red and the leaves are elliptic to inverse lanceolate, mostly in whorls, up to 16 centimetres (6.3 in) long and often lightly hairy underneath.
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Lilium martagon was used in hybridising with L. hansonii at the end of the 19th century by Mrs RO Backhouse of Hereford, England.
The name Turk's cap lily, also applied to a number of other species, comes from the characteristic reflexed shape of the petals. The specific epithet martagon is a Turkish word which also means turban or cap.
Lilium martagon, like many in the genus, is highly toxic to cats and ingestion often leads to fatal kidney failure; households and gardens which are visited by cats are strongly advised against keeping this plant or placing dried flowers where a cat may brush against them and become dusted with pollen which they then consume while cleaning. Suspected cases require urgent veterinary attention.Rapid treatment with activated charcoal and/or induced vomiting can reduce the amount of toxin absorbed (this is time-sensitive so in some cases vets may advise doing it at home), and large amounts of fluid by IV can reduce damage to kidneys to increase the chances of survival.

Puma in Torres Del Paine, Chile
I made a 5 day Puma tracking adventure in chilean Patagonia.
I was lucky enough to get to see 4 different Pumas-
The guides found this specific cat, called Petaka by the local guides, feeding on a Guanaco kill on the second day.
So we knew, where she was and could watch her on 3 days.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

The specific alpestris is Latin and means "of the high mountains", from Alpes, the Alps.
The horned lark was originally classified in the genus Alauda.
The horned lark Is suggested to have diverged from Temnick's lark around the Early-Middle Pleistocene, according to genomic divergence estimates.[3][4] The Horned lark is known from around a dozen localities of Late Pleistocene age, including those in Italy,[5] Russia, The United Kingdom and the United States. The earliest known fossil is from the Calabrian of Spain, around 1–0.8 million years old. In 2020 a 46,000 year old frozen specimen was described from the Russian Far East.
Recent genetic analysis has suggested that the species consists of six clades that in the future may warrant recognition as separate species. A 2020 study also suggested splitting of the species, but into 4 species instead, the Himalayan Horned Lark E. longirostris, Mountain Horned Lark E. penicillata, Common Horned Lark E. alpestris (sensu stricto), alongside Temnick's Lark..

I started off this morning with an idea for a specific theme for an image in me bean, but I needed to find the right picture.
At first, I thought this was it, but after a few minutes of playing I realized it wasn't.
So, just for shits and giggles, I threw a couple more effects at it and came up with this. Not really sure what to call it; a little bit monochrome, a little bit selective coloring, and a whole bunch of playtime abstract.

Crocoite
4x3 inch
Adelaide Mine, Dundas, Dundas District, Tasmania
Australia
Crocoite is a mineral consisting of lead chromate, PbCrO4, and crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system. It is identical in composition with the artificial product chrome yellow used as a paint pigment.
Crocoite is commonly found as large, well-developed prismatic adamantine crystals, although in many cases are poorly terminated. Crystals are of a bright hyacinth-red color, translucent, and have an adamantine to vitreous luster. On exposure to UV light some of the translucency and brilliancy is lost. The streak is orange-yellow; Mohs hardness is 2.5–3; and the specific gravity is 6.0.
Sunday 01-03-2020 we went for a walk down the Worcester & Birmingham canal .Starting at Tardebigge Wharf....there are 30 locks in total over about 2 1/2 miles .We were not doing them all .....there was a specific shot i was after (about 10 locks down)....this is not the one i will post that later .But what a beautiful location it is ....some lovely compositions and some very nice walks
There is a specific kind of silence that only exists on a forest path in autumn. This morning, the air was crisp, the leaves were crunching underfoot, and the canopy felt like it was leaning in to share a secret. A perfect moment of seasonal transition.

Hjerl Hede’s Open-Air Museum is an officially recognized privately funded theme-specific museum for cultural history.
The museum was founded in 1930 by director H. P. Hjerl Hansen and was run by the Hjerl-foundation until 1979 when the museum was separated from the foundation as a self-owned institution.
The museum consists of the Old Village, the Jutland Forestry Museum, and the Museum for Peat production. More than 50 different buildings can be seen at Hjerl Hede’s Open-Air Museum, showing the style of building and furnishing in the rural areas, as well as showing a number of elements which are characteristic for the surroundings of an old Danish
village. Among these are the rural craftsmanship.
Red-eyed vireo / vireo ojirrojo / verderón ojirrojo/ vireo de ojo rojo / vireo ojo rojo /Viréo aux yeux rouges (Vireo olivaceus)
The red-eyed vireo (Vireo olivaceus) is a small American songbird. It is somewhat warbler-like but not closely related to the New World warblers (Parulidae). Common across its vast range, "Vireo" is a Latin word referring to a green migratory bird, the specific olivaceus is Neo-Latin for olive-green, from Latin oliva "olive".
Adults are mainly olive-green on the upper parts with white underparts; they have a red iris and a grey crown edged with black. There is a dark blackish line through the eyes and a wide white stripe just above that line. They have thick blue-grey legs and a stout bill. They are yellowish on the flanks and undertail coverts
Other closely related species include the black-whiskered vireo (V. altiloquus) and the Yucatan vireo (V. magister).
Red-eyed vireos are one of the most prolific singers in the bird world. They usually sing high up in trees for long periods of time in a question-and-answer rhythm. This species holds the record for most songs given in a single day among bird species, with more than 20,000 songs in one day.

Oudemansiella mucida, the Porcelain Fungus, is specific to beech wood. It appears in autumn on dead trunks and on fallen branches, and occasionally it also grows on dead branches high up in living trees. Common and widespread in Britain and Ireland, Oudemansiella mucida occurs throughout northern Europe, but in southern Europe where Beech is not found the Porcelain Fungus is also absent.
Provided that the skin is thoroughly washed (or peeled from the caps) to remove the mucus, these mushrooms are edible, although their slimy covering is probably enough to put most people off. Only larger caps are worth collecting, because the flesh is thin and insubstantial.
I had a specific hope from this sunrise shoot of the Buttercross in Brigg, North Lincolnshire, and that was to capture the sun rising at the end of the street on the left (Wrawby Street). But unfortunately there was an annoying slither of cloud on the horizon and by the time it cleared, the sun had moved too far to the right. Maybe I’ll be luckier another time.
Shot as a 5 shot panorama (each bracketed) with my Tilt Shift, and stitched in Lightroom. The highlights on the front of the building are due to spotlights above the upper windows.
The Buttercross, historically was the Brigg Town Hall, but is now used as a tourist information centre and as an events venue.

Jardí Botànic, Barcelona, España.
El Jardí Botànic de Barcelona es un Jardín botánico de 14 hectáreas de extensión. Dentro del Jardín se encuentra el Instituto Botánico de Barcelona (IBB-CSIC), un centro mixto perteneciente al CSIC y el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona.
Se inauguró el 18 de abril de 1999, en el solar de un antiguo vertedero de escombros en el Parque de Montjuic. El proyecto fue obra del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona. Es miembro de la Asociación Ibero-Macaronésica de Jardines Botánicos, y del BGCI, presentando trabajos para la Agenda Internacional para la Conservación en los Jardines Botánicos.
El código de identificación internacional del "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona" como miembro del "Botanic Gardens Conservation Internacional" (BGCI), así como las siglas de su herbario es BC.
Las colecciones están enfocadas en plantas de las regiones mediterráneas de todo el mundo, esta es una vegetación vinculada al clima mediterráneo que se caracteriza por un largo verano seco, de inviernos suaves y lluvias en la primavera y el otoño. Este clima sólo se encuentra sobre un 5% de la superficie de la tierra pero en 5 regiones del mundo en las cuales las plantas tuvieron una evolución adaptativa específica que con todo da paisajes bastante similares, por lo que las plantas se distribuyen agrupadas, según las cinco regiones mediterráneas del mundo.
Las sendas nos permiten acceder de zona en zona, comenzando por las Islas Canarias situadas a la entrada y subir al Mediterráneo occidental reconocible por el instituto botánico, que sobresale.
Del hemisferio Norte, la zona con una mayor representación es la Cuenca Mediterránea, siguiendo el camino de visita se accede hasta las costas de California de clima mediterráneo.
Después se encuentran las zonas mediterráneas del hemisferio Sur donde se visita la región mediterránea de Chile, el sur de África, y las dos regiones mediterráneas del sur de Australia (SE y S).
The Jardí Botànic de Barcelona is a 14-hectare botanical garden. Inside the Garden is the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (IBB-CSIC), a joint center belonging to the CSIC and Barcelona City Council.
It was inaugurated on April 18, 1999, on the site of an old rubble dump in Montjuic Park. The project was the work of the Barcelona City Council. He is a member of the Ibero-Macaronesian Association of Botanical Gardens, and of the BGCI, presenting papers for the International Agenda for Conservation in Botanical Gardens.
The international identification code of the "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona" as a member of the "Botanic Gardens Conservation International" (BGCI), as well as the initials of its herbarium is BC.
The collections are focused on plants from Mediterranean regions around the world, this is a vegetation linked to the Mediterranean climate that is characterized by a long dry summer, mild winters and rains in spring and autumn. This climate is only found on 5% of the earth's surface, but in 5 regions of the world in which the plants had a specific adaptive evolution that nevertheless gives quite similar landscapes, for which reason the plants are distributed grouped, according to the five Mediterranean regions of the world.
The paths allow us to access from zone to zone, starting with the Canary Islands located at the entrance and going up to the western Mediterranean recognizable by the botanical institute, which stands out.
From the Northern Hemisphere, the area with the greatest representation is the Mediterranean Basin. Following the visit path leads to the coast of California with a Mediterranean climate.
Then there are the Mediterranean areas of the Southern Hemisphere where you visit the Mediterranean region of Chile, southern Africa, and the two Mediterranean regions of southern Australia (SE and S).
