One of our Kaytdid species. I think it's one that eats only eucalyptus leaves. Side on it looks exactly like a gum leaf.

Great captures of early morning atmosphere. 

Brilliant colour.

I always love your photos, Clicker, and your backstory. 

Good to see your street photography as always. I imagine the scooter may make it easier to get candid photos of people. Could be wrong….

Great results with your new gear. Sharp. Love #1 subject and colour. 

My immediate response when looking at your photos was that they depict a place that is unmistakable as New York. So well known even if we’ve never been there. 

Lovely, Ryewolf. 

This sculpture is new to me so I looked it up and was moved by its symbolic meaning. Your photos of it are beautiful.
Do you always carry a camera and several lenses with you when working? 

I was pleased to see Ryewolf posting lots of photos this week from varying genres including Intentional Camera Movement, macro, mono/transport, creative floral and a traditional landscape. Bravo, Ryewolf!

Two of these took my eye for photo of the week. The first was "Rain Shower", a photo of a bank of clouds raining down on a valley from the vantage point of Pendle Hill. As I love this type of landscape photo, it would have been an obvious choice for POTW (especially if there'd been a shaft of sunlight adding some more drama) but I'm going with "Experimental" instead. I kept returning to look at this image so decided to choose it for POTW. The use of ICM in street photography has created a surreal feel which is enhanced by the mono processing. I can imagine the image on a book cover of some dystopian novel. 

Lovely soft landscape with the clouds leaking across the scene. 

I love this photo and would have chosen it too. Well done, vanguard! 

Thank you,Gareth, and everyone for their positive feedback. 

The beautiful purple bloom is classified as a noxious weed in Australia. Prolific after rain, it is called Patterson's Curse or Salvation Jane depending on your perspective (farmers call it Patterson's Curse and Beekeepers call it Salvation Jane).

Pepper moths (Utetheisa Hübner) are quite small and have a knack of disappearing by wrapping themselves around a stem of grass like the one in the second photo. This one is feeding on the nectar and not bothering with camouflage. 

At first glance I thought it was dead dog. Very dead. Decomposing dead. 

Very interesting processing. I like second one best. I like it in mono too. Minimalist composition works well. 

I like this set especially the first two for the shapes. 

Oh wow, just saw this. Thank you, Ryewolf and everyone! My "pet" Praying Mantis is about 2cm long. After a shaky start when I couldn’t figure how to feed it, it has lost its Twiggy figure and it is looking almost portly.  Macro-photography is a slippery slope.

One of the many anti-government / anti-vaccination protests we have had in Australia since Covid-19 started. This one was in Melbourne near Finders St station late 2022.

Apparently we have over 550 different cockroaches indigenous to Australia. There are six different cockroaches that are pests that spread bacteria, as you were referring to, Clicker, and only two of them are indigenous to Australia. This is new to me as I thought only the introduced ones were pests. 

Are you serious, Paul? You’ve never seen a cockroach?

I like that very much. The bright colours and composition work well. I’d love to go to Havana.
