In the final episode of Homeland ("Prisoners of War"), Carrie attends a Kamasi Washington concert. It opened my eyes to modern jazz.

Kitchen sink surprise redux. Not certain the unknown seedling can hold out much longer despite its unquestionable tenacity?

"He who suffers, wins", if I understand correctly. Probably picturing Mary Magdalene. Not sure what 1474 stands for.

grasshopper in Campillo de Adentro (Cartagena)

The same photo with more brightness
-
A brightness somewhere in between the two settings would be best? Even better, look at the brightness histogram with a calibrated monitor.

Ok, I'll try to figure out how to do it. Thanks.

Good morning Arturo,
what kind of PhotoEditor/RAW Converter are you using?

grasshopper in Campillo de Adentro (Cartagena)
Unusual approach leads to a good look for the insect. The brighter version allows more to be seen without changing the "dreamy" effect.

Hi Jürgen, I think I'm using the Windows image editor. I've never actually looked at a photo's histogram.

Hi Arturo, you seem to have become absolutely fascinated by macro photography lately! I like this one (subject, color, composition)!

Hola, I love nature up close and from afar. I learn from it, and it's never disappointed or betrayed me. That photo of the beetles was from yesterday. I was in Campillo de Adentro.

Look, Jan, this is a detail of what was happening in the thistle, the distracted beetles and the fly looking for something.
-
A beetle-fly threesome ?? Fantastic.
The thistle looks like Carduus acanthoides, but there are other possibilities so just a guess.

Dear Birna, it was more of a bacchanal than a trio.

This is a wonderful series Arturo! Was already impressed by the first one, but the series got better and the last one’s amazing! You must have been enjoying!

Thank you very much. Campillo de Adentro is located within a natural park. I'm trying to restore a shepherd's house there. It's a coastal Mediterranean landscape full of surprises.

I agree with you, Plutón. I took that photo with a lens that doesn't have an aperture, which is why it's a bit dark. Cheers.

Of all the images of that day, he liked the one we took to test exposure the most, go figure...

I'm trying ... He certainly comes forward as very manly.
The braid is amazing :)

Sun is getting stronger by the day. Peak of summer is slowly approaching.

He is a very talented artist (actually the artist´s artist, as they call him to dance in private parties), kind and funny but not manly. He can play the part as you see here and he is vey handsome.
His flamenco nickname is "el pelon" meaning the one with a mane? strong and lustrous head hair. I'll pass the comment along. He'll love it! :)

Why not eat it? Aegopodium podagraria is edible and sees use as a medicine plant.

Just inform me and I'll make a terrific shot to memorise the event :)
Seriously, you should make plants your friends not your enemies. There are so many edible and/or useful plants out there. For example, take the A. podagraria. Did you know it was planted by monks at monasteries for use in healing illnesses such as gouts? Young leaves are excellent substitute for spinach. And so on.

Yes, I will plant it in a closed environment (where it cannot escape and uncontrollably spread) in my garden in Asturia when I move there, together with a lot of other medicinal herbs...
