Tiny Terror - Northern Pygmy-Owl heading out to hunt. Had an amazing encounter with a pair of this species hiking the Los Padres National Forest at dawn this past Spring. Thought I'd mix things up with all the Bobcats I've been posting lately. After wildcats, owls, eagles, falcons, etc. are my favorite subjects.
If you'd like to see more of my work of all these species, feel free to checkout my IG: @sswildlife

Have you ever had a tiny package arrive in the mail, and wondered who had sent it? This has happened to me several times in my lifetime - and it brings instant joy, and an overwhelming desire to thank the thoughtful person that sent it. This tiny spool laying atop a new tea towel, just arrived in my mailbox. This time I know who sent it as a note of encouragement was included. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could encourage friends and family this way? It doesn't need to be anything extravagant - just something to say;
"I am thinking of you, and you are loved."
I love finding fungus in the woods! What wonderful colors and shapes, you just have to look real hard to find them!!! Not much of a problem for me cause I'm short! lol Have a great week everyone!!
We don't often see 'new' fungi in spring and early summer, they usually appear in autumn.
This bright orange cluster was right in my path in the woods, flourishing so well in late spring, and brilliantly noticeable in the (otherwise) ubiquitous green of the deep woods.
I am hoping someone can identify it for me.

The movement in this image is courtesy of the wind. It has been really windy here with gusts up to 50 km making macro photography challenging to say the least.
It is hard to beleive their is such perfection in such a tiny rose. This one is only a half inch wide!

My entry for #HiddenWorlds, Flickr Friday's theme for the week of Jan. 15-22, 2021.
Image made for the March 17 Macro Mondays group's theme, "Teddy Bear." I'm also submitting it to the 365:2025 group.
Yet another purchase from Hobby Lobby. 💰
I attempted to create a pastiche of every "soft, gooey, lovey-dovey" shot of a teddy ever made. As such, I think it needs to be wrapped in pink tulle with pink glitter scattered about. 😝 The soft focus and desaturated colors are intentional.
Teddy is a one-inch square.
Piran is probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns, perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It feels more like an Italian coastal town, without all the Italian tourists, and for good reason: Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
Piran is an extremely picturesque small Italianate city on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. It is one of Slovenia's four coastal cities, including Izola, Koper, and Portoroz. It's Italian styling is due to its proximity to the Italian border and once belonged to Italy. The boat harbor is full of small colorful fishing boats. The main square is near the sea and full of activity. The streets are typical narrow winding medieval streets that are a joy to explore and find hidden squares inside the various neighborhoods. The Church on the hill is complete with a separate bell tower and baptistry. There is a walkway connecting the churchyard to a beach along the shore. The small peninsula of the city hosts a beautiful pedestrian street of various restaurants with delicious seafood and a gorgeous view of the sunset over the adjacent peninsula (in Croatia). The lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula is unique.
Piran offers great views of the small Slovene coastline, including views of nearby Trieste, large shipping vessels, and rolling hills. Hidden treasures include an old aquarium, steep winding streets, and local people fishing from the shore.
At the end of the same dive with the flame lobster (previous post), we stopped in the shallows to search for grass squid.
Expectations were low. These squid are tiny - think the size of your pinky fingernail. They are floating in a soup of sargassum bits and pieces, so they are well camouflaged. And to top it all off, we are in shallow water (2-3m) with waves rolling through to slosh this slurry of stuff back and forth. Placing them in the viewfinder is hard but even if you can do that, you still need to get the camera's autofocus to lock on to the right thing. I have plenty of blurry pics and a bunch of sharp pics of seaweed fragments. But all you need is one to work!
Note, this was shot with ambient light (because we were so shallow). Without strobes, the shutter speed could be raised above 1/250th, which was definitely helpful.
