This scene was in the Ash Creek Wildlife Area in Big Valley, California.
In Lassen County, between Bieber and Adin.
These wee pebbles were once buried in sand, and as the sand eroded in the rain, they were left as you see them here, resting on pillars, awaiting their inevitable collapse.
The PCB's serpentine antenna trace can be seen on the left. There was already a hole in the PCB right in the antenna trace. And the hole was even metal-lined and conductive to the antenna trace, as if it was made for external antenna mounting. I think I'm at about 1/2 wave length with the existing trace added to the partly extended whip length.

This woman, whose brother was a victim of gun violence, was among the demonstrators at the National March On the NRA in Denver.
Here's a few more signs that were displayed by the estimated 0.8 million rally-goers at the rally in Washington, D.C. on March 24, 2018. The "guns and roses" poster (lower left) was designed by Shepard Fairey, an artist who has work in the permanent collection of numerous art museums, and who also created the widely popular "HOPE" poster featuring Barack Obama during the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
This was my first time shooting fire dancers/spinners at night. Some post processing was required to get the results seen here.
I used my Nikon D600 with a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 "APO" macro lens with internal focus motor ($100 used on eBay).
I have a bunch of other shots of the firedancers in this set- check 'em out if'n ya like this sort of thang.

I added the 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mono phone jack to the back of the hotshoe (seen at the top of this image), to be used as a sync jack.
I also removed the four dedicated pins in the hotshoe, to prevent shorting on a metal radio trigger hotshoe. Little did I know that there would soon be a radio trigger (the RF-602) that could wake up the 430EZ, which goes to sleep after 90 seconds of inactivity. And of course, the RF-602 needs at least one of the pins I removed to signal the 430EZ to wake up.
D'Oh!
Photographed in Big Valley, California.
I captured these images when the dragonflies landed on the tops of some pieces of steel rebar that stick way up from a partially demolished hot tub.
These were shot in full daylight. I darkened the background by stopping down to F/16 or so at 1/500th, and used an on-camera TTL hotshoe flash to light the subject.
I got as close to the subjects as I could. The lens was a cheap 70-300mm zoom. It's closest focusing distance is quite far, so these images were heavily cropped from a six megapixel RAW, despite being shot at 450mm equivalent focal length.
The following image was stacked using multiple exposures together using the "Average" function of Markus Enzweiler's excellent program StarStaX, which can be downloaded for free here:

The difference is amazing
