"Macro Mondays" and this week's theme "Two"

 

They left the nest early morning and hopped around in the bushes all day. They will probably stay in my garden for quite a while.

We often wonder how different animal species see their world. What this surrealist image represents is that colour is entirely about perception. What we see and agree is green grass, might just as well be red to another creature. Some ancient historians argue, for instance, that in Homer's time the colour "blue" did not exist as we know it. Have a read of this article if you're interested.

These black and white Belted Galloways might see the world in monochrome, or perhaps they see their food source in bright reddish tones like this. This breed of cow comes from southwestern Scotland. It was established as a specific breed in 1921. I assure you the cow on the right does have four legs despite the illusion. You see, we can't always believe what we see!

 

None of this work involved AI at all! Nor did I use style filters. This is processing from the ground up where RAW files were altered using Capture One software.

 

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy.

 

Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there.

 

These worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.

Moment in time from my train commute this morning. Two gentlemen side by side. I’d guess they were probably about the same age and travelling from the same location. One neatly dressed and maybe on his way to work, the other one a bit rough and having a nap. Made me reflect on how easy it would be to conclude that ‘one has made it in life, the other one has not’. What a presumptions observation — who can tell, simply from appearance, that is the case? One’s own prejudice and bias. Could well be the complete opposite. Ignorance a common source of misconception. Unfortunately I had to get off at the next stop so I’ll never find out but the experience has played on my mind since. Life’s not always what it appears to be.

Yellow Legged Gulls

they all had nothing, but were surprisingly very happy all the time . . .

There are days when we see lots of Chipmunks in our yard, and days when we feel lucky to have seen just one.

 

They are extremely territorial so on the days when the yard seems overrun with them, if/when one of them sees another one they are constantly chasing each, charging with tail erect, to shoo the intruder away and claim victory.

 

SO, it's a rare treat to see two of them relatively close to each other, like these two, eating in peace. Of course that doesn't mean the chasing commenced moments after this shot was taken.

When traveling I always find a bike to photograph. Switzerland has beautiful scenery, superior transportation and a classy blue bike.
