A few evening smash & grabs, meaning fairly poor pictures taken quickly and/or from a distance 🤷‍♂️

First is a female yellow-haired sun fly (Myathropa florea). The distinctive thorax markings give it its 🇩🇪 name, Totenkopfschwebfliege, although I also like the English alternative, Batman hoverfly 🦇🙂

Then several flies feeding on the ivy:

A common drone fly (Eristalis tenax; 🇩🇪 Mistbiene [not as pretty as it sounds]), which are frequently seen in my garden, & a male face fly (Musca autumnalis; 🇩🇪 Herbstfliege), quickly & poorly grabbed with the wrong camera settings before it flew off 🙈

A large drone fly seen side-on on an green ivy flower. The fly has a white face, black compound eyes, and hairs all over its head. The thorax is likewise very golden hairy over a dark bronze. The abdomen is black and gold, tapering towards the end, with many fine white hairs. The legs are dark, albeit with golden hairs on the hind femora and tibia – this is a marker for E tenax relative to most of the other Eristalis species.

A shaky picture of a small fly seen from above on closed yellow-green ivy flowers. The fly has red compound eyes close together, marking it as male. The thorax is black with longitudinal grey stripes and black bristles. The wings are clear with hints of amber towards the base. The abdomen is black and yellow, with a black stripe running towards the tip which is black and white with relatively small black bristles.

Something old, something new ...

First, one of the more elusive Cylindromyia flies for me, albeit fairly common in this area.

This is a female Cylindromyia bicolor (🇩🇪 Zweifarbige Raupenfliege), calmly posing in the rose bush.

Easily ID'd, as it lacks the black abdomen tip most other species have.

A side-on picture of the same fly in the same setting, but now with the orange abdomen in focus, showing the many short black hairs and the black bristles along the top of the tergites, as well as on the sides towards the end. The black band at the top of the abdomen is seen to extend along the top of the second tergite and slightly into the third. Hints of grey-white bands are seen at the ends of the second and third tergites, on the dorsal side.

A view from behind and above, now in sunlight, showing the orange cylindrical abdomen with its many fine black hairs and much thicker, longer black bristles. The grey-white bands on the dorsal sides of T2 and T3 are seen, as is the longitudinal black stripe that extends the the edge of T2, with a brief extension into T3. The tip of the abdomen remains orange, identifying this as Cylindromyia bicolor.

Wonderboom

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

The striking seed pods of a castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) set against a softly blurred, natural background.

A central red stalk supports a dense, cluster-like spike of spiky, bright magenta-to-crimson seed capsules. The capsules are covered in flexible, needle-like soft spines, giving each pod a sea-urchin-like appearance.

A heavily blurred, deep emerald-green foliage background creates a moody bokeh effect, offering a strong contrast that makes the red stalk pop.

Ancient volcanic rock resting by the tide at Tara Cove, Ballymoney. The colours, the lines and the layers always mesmerise me there!

#photography #Landscape #Geology #CoastalWalk #Wexford

A close-up photograph of a weathered rock formation on a sandy beach beside the sea. The smooth, rounded rock on the right resembles the head and snout of a sleeping dog resting on the pale sand. The stone displays pale seafoam green and buff tones, marked with warm ochre and reddish-brown mineral veins that trace natural cracks. In the soft-focus background, calm grey-blue seawater stretches toward a low headland under an overcast, pale blue and cloudy sky. The lighting is soft and natural, evoking a quiet, contemplative coastal atmosphere.

Ein mächtiger, dicht mit grünem Moos bewachsener Baum dominiert den Vordergrund dieses urigen Waldstücks. Seine knorrigen, weit ausladenden Äste hängen schwer herab und sind über und über mit weichen Moosteppichen bedeckt, die im durchscheinenden Sonnenlicht fast neongrün leuchten. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich ein dichtes Dickicht aus sommerlichen Sträuchern und Bäumen, deren Blätterdach das Tageslicht sanft filtert und den gesamten Waldboden in ein geheimnisvolles, smaragdgrünes Licht taucht.

Sorting Memories

#ThrowBackThursday #Alzheimers #Caregiving #Dementia #Photography

A scattered collection of old, physical photographs from a family's photo album, depicting scenes from different periods of life, particularly childhood.

The overall impression is one of nostalgia and family memories, captured in a time before digital photography was common. The photos are arranged in a casual, overlapping pile, suggesting someone has just gone through them.

#SheepOfMastodon #Landscape #Photography

A large flock of sheep in a misty, atmospheric landscape.

The sheep are mostly cream or off-white with thick, shaggy coats. There are several dark-faced or entirely black sheep interspersed throughout the group, adding contrast.

Heavy fog or mist dominates the upper half of the frame, obscuring the distance and creating a moody, somewhat mysterious aesthetic

A black and white photograph with a sepia tone shows a swing suspended by two ropes from a large white pine tree, viewed from above and behind, facing a still completely snow-covered landscape. A bit of ice and sleet clings to the wooden seat, giving the impression that the warm days of summer are still a long way off for this swing.

Photographie noir et blanc avec une touche sépia d'une balançoise accrochée par deux cordes à un gros pin blanc, vu de plus haut et de derrière, faisant face à un terrain encore complètement enneigé. Un peu de verglas et de grésil se trouvent sur le siège fait d'une planche de bois, donnant l'impression que les beaux jours de l'été sont encore loins pour cette balançoire.

#monochrome #sepia #bloomscrolling #flowers #photography

A black and white photograph with a touch of sepia, showing dried, dead clematis flowers shaped like small, fuzzy pom-poms on their twining stems, hanging in the air from a small branch. Snow and water droplets glisten in the sunlight on the flowers. Other flowers are blurred in the background, along with light filtering through the branches.

Photographie noir et blanc avec une touche de sépia, de fleurs de clématites mortes et séchées en forme de petits pompons poilus sur leur tige volubile, accrochée dans les airs à une petite branche. La neige et des gouttes d'eau brillent au soleil sur les fleurs. D'autres fleurs sont floues à l'arrière, ainsi que de la lumière à travers les branches.

#monochrome #blackandwhite #trees #fog #photography

A black and white photograph of two large trees standing very close together on a snowy field, shrouded in thick fog. The tree on the left is a conical spruce, its trunk split into two smaller and fairly symmetrical trunks. The tree on the right is a larch, smaller and barely visible in front of the spruce. Behind them, leafless tree silhouettes disappear into the fog.

Photographie noir et blanc de deux grands arbres très près l'un de l'autre sur un terrain enneigé, dans le brouillard opaque. L'arbre de gauche est une épinette à la forme conique, avec le tronc séparé en deux troncs plutôt symétriques. L'arbre de droite est un mélèze, plus petit à peine visible devant l'épinette. Derrière, des silhouettes d'arbres sans feuilles disparaissent dans la brouillard.

I captured these pretty Azaleas near my home in the north of Sydney, NSW, Australia.

https://kaye-menner.pixels.com/featured/blooming-white-azaleas-by-kaye-menner-kaye-menner.html

Vibrant azaleas in full bloom are captured under bright sunlight, showcasing their white petals with pink accents. The surrounding green foliage adds to the composition's lushness.

The image shows a lush cluster of blooming azaleas with large, delicate white petals with vibrant pink speckles at their centers. The flowers are in full bloom, creating a striking contrast against the deep green leaves surrounding them. Sunlight brightens the blossoms, highlighting their soft texture and the intricate details of the stamens, while a brilliant blue sky peeks through the background. The overall scene radiates freshness and the beauty of springtime in full flourish.

Wise or foolish?

Black and white photograph of three figurines on a windowsill, with the sun shining from behind them. They are three small, bald, smiling Buddhas sitting cross-legged, representing the Japanese proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." The one on the left is covering his ears with his fingers, the one in the middle has his hands over his mouth, and the one on the right is covering his eyes with his hands. Sunlight filters through the screen of the window behind him. Trees are visible outside.

Bird Dancing on the Line - Animal Photograph Copyright 2018 Frank J Casella
A Pigeon runs back and forth over the yellow safety line on a train platform in Chicago, Illinois.

In life, there are times when we need to draw the line if nothing else than for our own health and safety.

Whether it's the noise of the news media, or the internet in general, or politics, it's important to know where we stand or we'll fall for anything.

We build strong character and peace of mind when we stay on our side of the line that we draw for ourselves.

Enjoy your day.
