The fascinating thing of chameleons are their eyes. They could be moved in every different direction. So they could watch back and forward at the same time!

And: I don't like Comment-Codes, "awards", or such groups. They will be deleted. Explanation at my profile. Also please don't post pictures in the commenting-area. You could post them much better in your own photo stream. Your own words will mean much more to me than a universal-text. ;-D
I've been feeling a bit subdued this week after the sudden death of a good friend. So creativity is at a bit of a low ebb.
This is for Sliders Sunday, and is a merge of some digital art knocked together yesterday in ten minutes or so on Corel Painter and a previously published image of my daughter's eyes, using both blend modes and blend ranges.
I'm afraid that's about as much as I can manage just now. I am sure the creative spark will rekindle eventually. In the meantime I wish you well...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday!
I'll post links to the painting and the image in the first comment.
Clark's Woods - Iowa
Didn't have to venture out very far to capture the early morning delights. Buds, blossoms and leaves are finally "popping" announcing that spring is here in the heartland!
The variety of colors, shapes and size makes a walk in the woods worth the effort!

"If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible. But after a while this has only the function of a historic document. Objects aren't very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it." Joseph Beuys, 1969. Ignore the Exif data, this shot was done with the Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
I must admit this hasn’t been the first time to have experienced this unique bonding, when the bird accepted my presence and wouldn’t fly away. Call it “interspecies communication" if you wish, or telepathy - I don’t know (smile).
After taking a few good shots with my 400mm f5.6, I have decided to take the chance and switch lenses, for a shallower DOF. The cute owl didn't move a bit. I must admit having experienced a feeling of acceptance and trust. I gave the owl its space by not getting too close.
Shot taken at f2.8 with Canon 5dIII coupled with canon 70-200 f/2.8 II.
Una imagen de Gallocanta el pasado diciembre. Los cielos se llenan de bandos de grullas que van y vienen. Los bandos que llegan en migración a gran altura y en rápido descenso se mezclan visualmente con los vuelos cortos de pequeños grupos que se mueven por los campos. La impresión óptica es la de Barajas en hora punta. Me gustó captarlo.
Many species of sunbirds overlap in their environmental niches - they share location and food sources etc. This is possible through the establishment of sensory (here visual) niches, based on the color of the males and strong sexual selection by females. Under such conditions, feather patterns of male members of sunbird species have evolved to balance two differing selective forces: the need to camouflage and the need to attract. Iridescence seems to play an important role there - it is an effect created by the nano-structure of keratin, air and melanin of their feathers, which makes the feather shine under some angles but appear almost black from others.
At the same time, nest-caring females have a strong need to be well-camouflaged, which is supported by a strong sexual dimorphism, in which male members of sunbird species often display a lot of color, while females appear comparatively dull.
This is a picture of the same brown-throated sunbird I posted yesterday, here showing the signature brown throat, which to me seems the least obvious feature. Despite their impressive colors, I still find them hard to spot in the wild.
