The black acres are claiming me
They're claiming me
Black acres
I'm running
Away from home
Black acres
And the wind
The wind is blowing
Black acres
And the weathervane
Its heathen song
Lulls the world
With silver tongue
Touch me now
Touch me
Black acres are claiming me
They're claiming me
Twisted and broken, some of the parts are missing
But I was left alive.
My creators fought, I was unfinished…
And I was left behind.
Pose from Del May
Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this
Macro Mondays Theme my take on Twist! Taken using 36mm Kenko Extension Tube on 50mm f/1.8. 1 light, camera left.
Thelymitra flexuosa. This tiny orchid has found a friend. The flower might be 15mm across making the fly rather tiny too. Most of the Sun Orchids need sunlight before they will open, I was lucky on this day ;-)
I could write something about life's twists and turns and that what is most important is the journey itself rather than the destination we aim for; but looking at that road all I wish I had at the time is a mountain bike.
Taken in the Peak District.
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'PushPull'
For this week's challenge there were so many choices of subject and so many choices of execution. So I decided to continue in my experimentation with my latest buy, a plastic lens from the 1980s, and for the subject to tell myself again to 'Keep it Simple Stupid', KISS!
I found two contrasting colour rubber bands and 'PULLED' them over a piece of expanded polystyrene sheet that I had as packing from a small parcel - I thought the sheet might come in useful at some time!
A surprisingly amount of time was spent getting twists in the bands and the arranging them at right angles. The composition is a familiar one, but then why not?
Some of the aberations in the lens are pretty obvious, barrel distortion, and fall off in definition from the centre but those add something to the character of the photograph. Obviously I'm still learning what is possible and what isn't!

3 twists, in fact. A length of wool which is several stands twisted together, twisted around itself and then around the needle.
Resembling the head of Medusa, tree roots from 2 mature cedar trees protrude in a tangled mess out of the swampy soil at Coldstream Conservation area north of London, Ontario.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!!
Polar Bears swim quite a lot and the scientific name maritimus reflects this. And just like a dog, when they emerge from the water they shake themselves dry. I managed to catch this bear with a large halo of water droplets propelled by the bear's vigorous shaking. Its neck was twisting right and left rapidly but the fast shutter speed has frozen the action. Most furry animals shake themselves dry when they get out of water, but the one I remember did not shake was a Cougar. I watched this one on Vancouver Island climb out from the sea and the water just poured off it before it bounded off into the forest: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/6157345626/in/photolist
One final thing, when I used the title I immediately thought of the wonderfully choreographed scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where he mimed to this song. I've just watched it again and enjoyed it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=81ZtmBAA_NE

You left me all alone now I can't even concentrate
I guess I'll wait for the day until you come back
Because my heart is where your love is at
You got me twisted
I visited this place quite a few times in the past year while hiking the Hocking Hills. I posted two other pictures made during the winter when the ice was hiding the main feature, which is the faint corcscrew shape.
