It’s that time of the #year where I make a #calendar for the next one. I decided the theme for next year would be #pollinators. All #photographs are by me and were taken either in our front or back #garden. Hope you like the pictures. You don’t? Well never mind, you can print out just the months instead.

You can download the calendar here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CxmS099Xw0LbO29Ocvy6NLOP5zL9HbSX/view?usp=drive_link

Here are some reduced-resolution preview images.

@Compassionatecrab
I've got a worry (although I've no idea how rational it is) about digital photos, and digital scans of photos and negatives.

It comes down to: will the digital media still be readable / accessible in decades to come?

Let's say that you'd saved your treasured pictures on 8" floppies, or Zip drives - can anyone but a specialist access them now?
Cloud storage may make matters worse in the very long term.

I'd counsel that if you are scanning negatives or slides (or even prints) then keep the original media as well even if *you* never intend looking at it again.

Just my opinion!

Chinche asesina verde pálido - Zelus luridus - Insectos - Macrofotografía - 2023/09/12

#Photos #Photography #FOTOS #fotografia #photographs #naturaleza #nature #macro #macrofotografia #macrophotography #hacerfotos #insectos #insects #miinsecto

La chince está en posición horizontal, mirando hacia la izquierda, posada en el envés de una hoja, y rodeada de otras hojas. El insecto es algo translucido, delgado y alargado, con patas muy largas y antenas igualmente largas. La cabeza, que es extremadamente delgada, de color verde pálido, presenta una especie de bufanda de color rojo justo en la mitad, que justamente son los ojos. El tórax, que es más ancho que la cabeza, parece dividido en dos partes, ambas de color verde pálido, en cada una de las cuales tiene dos lunares rojos. El abdomen es un poco más ancho que el tórax, también de color verde pálido, presenta anillos de color ocre amarillento, los cuales tienen lunares no redondos que son rojos.

It won't be a day too soon for the abolishing of the pose where the horn fingers are up, and the mouth is wide open, and the tongue is hanging out.

Y'all look ridiculous, especially if you've just won a contest, or are at a wedding reception.

It's not a cool look, it was never a cool look.

One grumpy old man's opinion.

Saltamontes de alas azules - Oedipoda caerulescens - Insectos - Macrofotografía - 2023/09/01

#Photos #Photography #FOTOS #fotografia #photographs #naturaleza #nature #macro #macrofotografia #macrophotography #hacerfotos #insectos #insects #miinsecto

El saltamontes está en posición horizontal, mirando hacia la derecha, posado en una hoja, y rodeado de otras muchas hojas, todas verdes y brillantes, con lustre, son hojas con bordes que parecen tener picos. El insecto es de color marrón claro, tiene una banda de color marrón un poco más oscuro en la zona de las alas, es decir, en la zona trasera. Se aprecian bien los detalles de su cabeza, sus delgadas antenas apuntando hacia adelante en ángulo de 45°. También se aprecia claramente el ojo del lado derecho, grande. En la parte inferior de su cabeza se observa la mandíbula, que parece cerrada.

We've added locations to our 'Travelogue' gallery of the area around Ullapool, so you can have a sort of virtual tour if you fancy - P&L

Last week, we had a day trip to #Torquay but rather than drive or take the train, we decided on a different route. The first leg was a #cycle trip to #Exmouth, about 17 km, followed by a boat trip around the #Devon #coast. The weather was a bit changeable but there were only prospects of short showers.

#Photographs coming up.

This is the another one of the #photographs of the little #spider I took yesterday but I’ve cropped the image to be 1280x1920 and furthermore, just imported it into #gimp, which has deepened the #hues somewhat. Again, marking it as `sensitive' in case you are a bit squeamish about its hairy legs and suspended body–I am.

Just want to do a little #Mastodon appreciation post. Like many of you I come from #twitter. Been here for about 3 weeks now. And I feel so much more at place here. There is so much #respect and #kindness in this community. Also I love the beautiful #art and #photographs that are being shared. It's also a safe place for #mentalhealth awareness here. There is so much #knowledge being shared too. And all with #postive vibes. I hope we together can make sure this community stays this way. 🌺🌺

The Library of Congress has just made this available to the public and it warms my heart to think that scanning and distributing a photo of a cat dressed as Brunnhilde is one of the many functions of our government. #cats #photographs

#Introduction & #reintroduction

I'm @Rihilism, an #amateur #photographer. I shoot my own #photographs & live in a lovely city w/ a surprisingly diverse wildlife population. Am fortunate to be w/in walking distance of the animals you see below.

Mostly I shoot #Nature & #wildlife but I dabble. The eagle photo is the reason I bought my 1st camera.

Image of a bald eagle in flight in blue sky. The eagle is towards the left of the frame  but it underside is facing the camera with its wings spread out up and down in the frame.  Bald eagle have white head feathers, brown body and wing feathers, white tails, yellow legs with sharp talons, and sharp yellow beaks.
Image of a white tailed deer in a woodland setting. White tailed deer have a white underbelly fur and white fur under their tails and the remainder of their fur is brown. They have large ears, dark eyes, and long snouts that end in a large black nose. In the foreground are out of focus trees and branches and in the background are tall grasses.
Image of an American white pelican flying over dark water. White pelicans have white body feathers except for black flight feathers, orange feet, long, pointed orange bills with a horn on it that is closer to the tip than the face, and orange flesh around its pale blue eyes.
Image of a Canada goose in flight in a blue sky. Canada geese have white belly feathers, brown tail, back, wing, and chest feathers, black neck and head feathers, they have white markings on their face, dark eyes, and black feet and bills.

In the thousands of preserved registration photographs of Auschwitz prisoners, we can see faces of the men and women imprisoned in the camp.

“The Documentation series is a decades-long practice incorporating #biographical materials, #drawings, objects, words, and #photographs into kaleidoscopic installations. The works are self-reflective and intensely personal, and include obiects from my past preserved by my mother and myself. Lavered around bold central images, the objects offer contemplative and humanizing #narratives of my past and present #relationships in ways that invite each viewer to look deeply.” #brettCook #visualArt

#Reading A #Photograph includes 2 PDF files that I used in teaching #MediaLiteracy - back in the Dark Stone Age. Includes: 1. The Codes and Conventions of the #Medium of #Photography.
2. Reading #Photographs ~ questions that guide reader through the process of #analysis of a photograph.
This may be of help learning #PhotographComposition. It will also assist with describing an image using #AltText. 🙂

#TIL that in winter, #ladybugs huddle for warmth, or at least that's the leading hypothesis. It can also help them find mates in the spring. This is known as an "aggregation".

Sign with a photo of ladybug aggregate, which reads "Look Out for Ladybugs!

The red insects you see here are convergent lady beetles (Hippodamia convergens), one species of a group commonly known as ladybugs.

At certain times each year, ladybugs may gather in large masses called an aggregation.

Scientists believe they do this to stay warmer during the fall and winter months, and to find mates in the spring.

They return to the same spot year after year because of chemical trails left behind by other ladybugs.

Please Step Carefully.

Collecting or disturbing ladybugs is prohibited, plus they would die if taken. Please respect these amazing beetles!

#introduction

👋 I’m Stuart. I spend my days running #design orgs. at tech companies and spend my evenings working on https://unisn.app

I live in #Devon where I’m #renovating a Victorian house having moved from #London after almost a decade in #Amsterdam and in #Aotearoa and #Japan before that.

I have a degree in #Japanese and am learning #Welsh. I occasionally make #music and #okonomiyaki, take #photographs & waffle on about #cycling and #ebikes and #pusb and #tech and #politics

Rewriting my #introduction because I didn't get the importance of tagging over here. Apologies if you've seen this before...

I'm retired, which means I'm pretty busy. I volunteer at a charity #bookshop, write occasional reviews for London #Jazz News, write even rarer reviews on my own blog, and take lots of #photographs.

I'm a solid Remainer, and pro #indie.

I'm interested in #politics, #whisky, #art and #cats. And a variety of different #music
