Something a bit different from me. Some craft project Mrs AFB has worked on this week.
Crab apple in the backyard near Fairbanks, Alaska. No idea how, but some local farmer figured a way for this plant to survive the tough winters. About the edit: A standalone CS6 app (I don't use the Adobe CC app system), and NIK Software V. 3. The last step is an oil paint effect with CS6.

Last glimpse inside the old church ruin I visited on Monday, for now, I have something else in mind to explore here and will share that if it works!
Watching a YouTube vid on Joel Meyerowitz photographing on the streets of New York City in 1982 - those were the days of photography - and coffee.
The poor creature has lost the bottom two sections of its front legs.
Looking through archives, I came across this, from 2014...

May have to turn this, and either one posted yesterday or others on the same outing, into a painting for illustrations within a book. Was taken in a county park, and but rules, personal photography is allowed, but turn into commercial and have to pay a fee which to me up front payment is 100% speculative that would actually sell. Out of 110 locations, about 5 have that requirement while none consider a painting, even digitized giclee, commercial. Not certain which ones going to paint but want two for the location.
Still looks quite well fed! Must have attempted to take on something a bit stronger than itself at some stage, or maybe got stuck in a Golden Orb's web? I saw one attempting a boxing match with a mouse one day! The mouse ended up running off, I think it got scratched in the eyes too many times. 😱The poor creature has lost the bottom two sections of its front legs.
Love the eyes on the spout looking up at the squirrel. 🤣Looking through archives, I came across this, from 2014...

Actually, he’s just a really good magician, as his front legs are entirely in tact. You can see them better here:
I had another shot of him getting all cantankerous with me where you can really see them, but I missed the focus on it.
Glad to hear you miss the focus on some! You’ve been posting some great macro of late.Actually, he’s just a really good magician, as his front legs are entirely in tact. You can see them better here:

Thank you for the kind words!
I think the recent gear change has helped a bunch. The E-M5iii and 40-150 2.8 is a great combo for this type of shooting. The lens is really fast and really sharp!
Squirrel in the spout has to be better than bats in the belfry!"Oh no, not him again."

Every now and then one sees something that tickles the funny bone. Yesterday I looked out the window and saw this, which made me chuckle. Somehow I don't think of the word "thrifty" in connection with the Mercedes Benz brand of automobiles!
Do you mind - I've just spent ages pulling bindweed out from amongst my bushes

But why? Good for the butterflies. Thats why I have to leave all the weeds!Do you mind - I've just spent ages pulling bindweed out from amongst my bushes

It's my butterfly bushes they are growing all over, and will take over if I don't watch out!
The only weeds I let grow are dandelions, which are for my neighbour's tortoises
