On a recent visit to the San Diego Zoo, I watched with amazement as these exotic little orange and yellow birds constructed hanging (upside-down) nest from blades of grass growing in their aviary. The birds fly down, cut a blade of grass with their beak, and then hang upside down from a tree limb to weave the grass-blade into the nest. I’m hopeful that I have a Pic to post of one of their nests near completion.
One of the cuties flew over to greet me and I was able to get this shot.

The Eastern Golden Weaver:
The Eastern Golden Weaver is found in eastern and south-eastern Africa. Alternative names used for the eastern golden weaver include yellow weaver, olive-headed golden weaver, and African golden weaver.
The Golden Weaver builds a tightly woven nest that is oval to spherical, with the entrance at the bottom. The nest material consists of grass or reed strips. The reeds or branches above nests are often stripped of leaves
The Golden Weaver feeds on seeds, including rice and millet, and also nectar and insects, especially termite alates. The young are fed mainly on insects. It forms large foraging flocks when not breeding.

Transparent raindrops hang on a bunch of Scarlet Firethorn berries floating in space with colorful bubbles as an honorary accompaniment. Just another ordinary day on our planet... ...And remember, there is NO planet B.

Nicknamed "Super-food", because it is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins C and K. On top of that they look beautiful and taste yummy and can be used to decorate a beautiful dish !!
It had been raining that morning when I arrived at Wynn Nature Center. I decided that it would be macro day and pulled out the 65mm lens, one of the hardest to use, but oh, what images it can make! Here I worked the rain droplets on the long leaf of a fireweed plant.

Keine perfekte Kugel im geometrischen Sinne, aber doch von ähnlicher Form.
Not a perfect ball. Ideal geometric constructions are reserved for mathematics.

Kugelpanorama
Ich wollte die letzte Nacht eigentlich die Milchstraße Fotografieren, leider ist mir nach dem ersten Bild das Adaptergewinde vom Skytracker gebrochen. Hab dann das Panorama gemacht damit ich nicht leer nach Hause fahren muss.
Das besteht aus 20 Hochformatbildern.
Rechts der Streifen ist ein Flugzeug, ganz rechts unten in der Ecke ist die Andromedagalaxie zu sehen und unten der hellste Punkt ist Jupiter neben dem noch ein Irridiumflare zu sehen ist.
Man siehts schlecht aber links oben, also quasi im Nordwesten der Kugel ist ganz leichtes Polarlicht zu sehen.
An dem Bild sieht man auch gut wie Licht verschmutzt auch Rügen leider schon ist.
Beste grüße und ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich!
... water droplets on a smokebush provided this awesome bokeh from the RF100mm f2.8L IS USM macro lens
