Male Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) named "Wiley", born 5/21/2013 in North Carolina and now living as part of a large troop at the San Diego Zoo. Taking advantage of his handy cheek pouches, Wiley is collecting as many of the yummy primate biscuits as his face can hold. Conservation Status: Least Concern
A chipmunk with its cheeks stuffed with helicopter seeds. I really like this angle for the view of those chipmunk stripes.
I'm always fascinated how the jays can stuff the peanuts way back in their throats in order to make room for just one more!
Teaching M some basic sewing. He did the pattern, a bunch of the backstitching, stuffing, and eyes/mouth. Serious fun. Thank you to Craft magazine for some inspiration: www.craftzine.com/
It is a cruel world for most wildlife. This red-winged blackbird poked himself in the chest with a sharp reed and he is losing all his stuffing.

Charlie in a sea of paper stuffing that came with an online order of Vietnamese cinnamon. I was hoping for more eye contact, but he had just finished a big meal, and--as we know--that can make it hard to keep your eyes open.
Lol, a premiere, my photo got kicked out of MMs, apparently I haven't read the description properly, and there is too much negative space in the capture, while the task was to fill the frame with food and nothing else. Next time I'll again read the entire description (which I usually do, but most stupidly not this time).
A very popular main meal of the day: cabbage rolls. "Tinyfied" for MMs :-) We didn't have cabbage rolls in a long time, but they made a delicious comeback as Sunday dinner yesterday ;-). In Germany, cabbage rolls are often made with a savoury mincemeat stuffing and are served with potatoes and a creamy (white) sauce. For this capture I made one (extra) miniature cabbage roll and sliced it like one would do with a sushi roll. The cabbage used here is savoy. To make it look more sushi-like, and also more complete, I also garnished it with a tiny potato cube (made of a blue potato) in the middle. The slice of "cabbage roll sushi" is roughly 2 cm / 0,78 inches in diameter, and I've cropped the final image to 3 inches. I had one image with some of the creamy sauce added, and another one with a little bit of horse radish, but liked neither captures, so I settled for this "dry" version.
I can't come up with a reliable recap of my processing steps here, I'm afraid. I processed one of the two final captures mostly in ON1, the other mostly in Luminar 4 (with a short excursion into Luminar 3, because I'm still struggling to retrieve all those filters). And which is which... I know that I removed some colour cast caused by the use of artificial light, because I took the captures late in the afternoon when it was dark outside already, and I experimented with the foliage filters both in Luminar 3 and 4, and also in Color Efex (but didn't like the result), but that's it. And I don't like the chopstick shadows, but, well, nobody's perfect, right?
I hope to catch up with you this afternoon!
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Jetzt hat es mich auch mal erwischt: Mein Foto ist aus MM rausgeflogen, weil ich dummerweise die Beschreibung nicht zu Ende gelesen habe, wonach außer der Hauptmahlzeit nichts anderes im Bild zu sehen sein sollte. Nun gut, beim nächsten Mal lese ich wieder alles ganz genau... ;-)
Der Sonntagsklassiker: Kohlrouladen, hier für's Foto miniaturisiert und auch irgendwie "sushifiziert" für das MM-Thema "main meal of the day". Wie es der Zufall so wollte, gab es gestern nach ewiger Zeit mal wieder - sehr leckere - Kohlrouladen als besagte Hauptmahlzeit. Bei der Zubereitung fiel ganz nebenbei (völlig [un]beabsichtigt, natürlich...) auch ein Miniaturroulädchen an, das ich, ganz wie die großen Originale, in ein Blatt Wirsingkohl eingerollt und dann, als eine Art deutsche Sushi-Variante, in Scheiben geschnitten habe. Um die Scheiben noch Sushi-ähnlicher aussehen zu lassen, habe ich in die Mitte noch kleine Kartoffelwürfel (blaue Sorte) gesteckt; Kartoffeln sind ja schließlich auch die klassische Beilage. Eigentlich wollte ich drei der Scheibchen im Bild haben, am Ende gefiel mir aber die Solo-Variante mit den Essstäbchen am besten. Die Kunstlicht-Schatten finde ich nicht so toll, ich habe es gestern am späteren Nachmittag aber nicht mehr besser hinbekommen und irgendwann lief mir auch mal wieder die Zeit davon.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die (bei uns) sehr trübe November-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
I observed this really cute pair of sparrows in the garden this noon. It was so interresting to see the sparrows stuffing themselved with the tips of the conifer.
This little red squirrel was so brave - he climbed right up onto the bench Carl was sitting on and stole one of his crackers.
Another Sweedy. He is a happy fellow.

Well, if you are a Giant Goodie Bowl at our Backyard Harvest Fest, you'll get to have lots of "those" moments!
Caught this little chipmunk taking a shortcut after stuffing his cheeks with lots of hidden treasures. After making dozens of trips back and forth, to and from his borough(s), taking the low road must be much easier than trying to exit from the top every single trip!
BHF tip: Over the years, we learned it's more fun to have big mouths on our jack-o-lanterns, allowing our visitors easy access to what's tucked away inside.
I spent all day on wording, fonts, printing and doing the bows for our invitations. It got me a little excited for things to come, I must admit.
Our website (which also took me all day and still isn't finished quite yet) matches our invitations, which are handmade.
Dried bread for stuffing on Thursday. For Macro Mondays theme, "dried".
HMM!
I missed yesterday in my 365. I can't believe it, but so it is... and I carry on with my 364 :/
A large muddy male elephant (Loxodonta africana) has just finished blowing grass and dirt up onto its back for protection from the sun and is now eating grass and leaves. This shot was captured just as the vegetation, including a small white flower in his trunk was being shoved into his mouth. Best larger to see the flower and the bits of vegetation falling form his mouth.

I had a "full circle moment" today.
Tara had to unexpectedly work today, and asked if I could keep an eye on Chloe.
I had several chores to do, and some prep work for tomorrow's dinner while she was hanging out.
One of the things on the list was to rip up the bread for the stuffing (DON'T ask why I do not use the already cubed stuff in the bag.........loooooong story, but, let's just say my Mother's voice would haunt me from beyond the grave if I did not shred that bread up myself!).
When I was a kid, my grandmother would come to our house...usually a couple of days before Thanksgiving.
I used to hang in the kitchen while she was doing the prep work for our big family get together. She would always sit me at the table with a stack of stale bread and have me rip it into a bowl.
When Chloe came into the kitchen today and asked if she could help I knew just what to do!
LOL! She LOVED it, and took the job very seriously.
I told her that the pieces couldn't be too big, and she really concentrated on getting the pieces just the right size!
.When I count all my blessing tomorrow, I'm going to have to count this kid twice!
After cutting the rope at different places the squirrel/chipmunk collects the pieces and stuffs it in its mouth and takes it away
(115/366) I made some sausage meat stuffing to accompany today's roast chicken dinner. I often make a vegetarian option with grated apple rather than sausage meat.
Recipe :-
1 large onion diced
4 chestnut mushrooms diced
Sausage meat or a large apple grated
Tablespoon of whole grain mustard (you could substitute Cranberry sauce)
Large knob of butter
Drizzle of Irish Rapeseed oil
Tablespoon of garlic puree (we love garlic)
Dried sage, salt, black pepper
Combine all the ingredients by hand in a large bowl. Grease a suitable dish/tray & fill with the stuffing. Don't pack it down too hard. Cover loosely with tin foil & bake for 30 mins in a medium oven.
