Mesmerizing Photography of Freezing Flowers

Some ideas are really unique, when photographer Mo Devlin takes an interesting approach for flower photography by freezing his buds in order to generate mind-blowing abstract compositions. He uses macro lens by capturing intriguing light, texture, and unforeseen details within the melodramatic colors and shapes set in ice. The whole experimental process is wonderfully unpredictable. During experimental process & error he learned that ordinary tap water generates cloudy ice so he now gets his clearest ice by using distilled water. Devlin varies the container size which alters the effects of how the water freezes, and uses all types of flowers including roses, daffodils, posies, and daisies to get a colorful array of painterly compositions. During the freezing process, he gets the pleasant discovery; water compresses all flowers and squeezes out bubbles of oxygen from the petals. As the block more solidifies, the ice pushes the bubbles away from the center which consequences in gorgeous icy trails around the flowers. Devlin relishes this ever-changing process almost as much as the final photographs and Devlin says; I know very well, that I have become to some extent obsessed with my frozen posies as when I bring flowers home my wife asks Are those for me or the freezer?

Striking Bird Drawings by Brazilian Street Artist

Sometimes street artist creates lovely images beyond the thoughts, similar Brazilian artist Luis Seven Martins Aka L7m, continues to produce amazing illustrations that blur the lines between abstraction and nature. Rather than taking to the streets, this time L7m turned his spray paint and acrylics to a number of canvases. His animated collection features stunning bird forms that develop from a stunningly chaotic background. It's as if the creatures are serenely emerging from the energetic confusion of his blended brush strokes. Luis actually uses a diversity of techniques to produce circular swirls of bold colors that are juxtaposed with the realistic birds. His signature style adds motion to every piece and creates a sense of disorder that emanates from the composition. Through his work, L7m attempts to make "contradictions and scratchy feelings in the observers" by exploring thoughts of nature and attractiveness mixed with the chaos of our urban environment.

Beautiful Bowerbirds Design

Turkeys strut, peacocks preen, and bower-birds design. Of all the strange things that male birds do to attract a mate, the bower-bird's ritual is the only one that could make it into the MOMA. They use two different types of architecture and have a keen eye for color as well.

The Beautiful Leaden Flycatcher

The beautiful Leaden Flycatcher is a species of passerine bird in the family Monarchidae. The birds specs around 6 inches in length, while the male is a shiny lead-grey with white under parts, while the female has grey upper parts and a rufous throat and breast. You can find this bird in eastern and northern Australia, Papua New Guinea & Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical mangrove forests in the northern parts of its range, in the south and inland it is eucalypt woodland. Its specific name, rubecula, comes from the Latin for Robin, and in Sydney it is called Frogbird derived from its guttural call.  John Gould described and named the Pretty Flycatcher in 1848, which has since been subsumed into this species. Leaden Flycatcher is very active and agile bird; it hops among branches and catches insects in flight. Normally bird breeding seasons is September to February. The Leaden Flycatcher is found in tall and medium open forests, mostly in coastal areas, selecting drier habitats than the Satin Flycatcher. The Leaden Flycatcher feeds on insects caught while on the wing or gleaned from foliage and feed in the mid-canopy, darting from tree to tree in pairs or unaccompanied, perching only temporarily on exposed twigs where they call and fan their short crests.
