Not too long before becoming young and restless, the fledgling Barn Swallow did receive an energy transfusion sufficient to sustain it during its solo flight along Rettilon Road on Bolivar Peninsula.
...put my life in peril for this one...no place to pull over in commuter traffic so I stopped and did the click click thing. No one got in my way...no one tooted their horn as they seemed to understand my mission. Anyone who walks/drives away from a shot like this isn't a photographer. Had I not stopped, this image would have been burned into my memory and tortured my soul...forever!
View of my wired little world. That power pole means the world to me!
Metered the sky and ended up with this. I liked it.
Other than adding my name, this are out of the camera as is.

2026 one photo each day. (forgotten to post it on the day to one a day groups.
Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park
Photographed at the remote Grootvlei Dam in the north-eastern part of the Park, very close to the border with Mozambique. The great distance between the Shingwetzi and Letaba Rivers makes the dam an important halfway water source, especially during the dry season.
This was taken about 24 hours after the last post. Same windmill, same fence but a little different point of view, different focal length, and completely different weather conditions. What a difference a day makes. HFF
I photographed this Wire-tailed Manakin (Pipra filicauda) at Reserva Natural La Palmita in Trinidad, Casanare, Colombia. The male's tail filaments add about 4 centimeters to its length. In Colombia and Ecuador it lives up to about 500 meters. It is a year-round resident that feeds mainly on small fruits and also insects. It plucks fruit while perched or with short flights from a perch. La Palmita is a civil-society nature reserve in Trinidad that protects about 400 hectares of flooded savanna and 250 hectares of forest. IUCN lists the Wire-tailed Manakin as Least Concern, with a stable population.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 1000. La Palmita's research center also monitors the savanna's birds and mammals and rehabilitates and releases wildlife rescued from illegal trafficking.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Red wire chips fill the space of a heart, outlined by gold wire against a darn and black background.
This is about 1.5-2 inches frame size, it’s the cut end of an armoured electrical cable .
Thanks for stopping HMM
Not really. Not so romantic - Bokeh from a distant 'security' lamp shining in the day through branches and the fence close-up.
Macro Mondays: "Rust"
Some barbed wire wrapped around a post, both well rusted.
The image is about 5 cm (2 inches) on the long edge.

[I didn't have a tape measure with me but my guess is that this is roughly 1 - 1.5 inches in length]
