This Barbados beach is one of my favorites. It is remote and usually has very few people there.

This egret was flying past me at Jackson Bottom wetlands.

Taken for the “Macro Mondays” theme “Bottoms Up”.

Another shot of a little wren I saw at the bottom of the mast field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire a few weeks ago.

This morning, there was a mix of fog and the ever-present smoke. Made a nice atmosphere.

Centennial Seawalk is a popular out-and-back trail near West Vancouver, British Columbia. It's an easy 1.7-kilometre route from the bottom of 18th Street to Dundarave Park. This walk has scenic views of Burrard Inlet, the Coast Mountains, the Vancouver skyline and ships travelling under the Lions Gate Bridge and past the beach.

Not sure why I like this but I just do...

By the look of his mud-tipped bill, I'd say this ruddy duck hit bottom. I guess that's to be expected. From what I read they dive to the bottom of a pond and filter mud through some plates in their bill to get at aquatic invertebrates, plant matter and the like. Not sure I fully grasp the physical mechanism for this filtering process. Back to this guy. He'll need to clean that mud off - that ridiculously blue bill is there to attract the ladies during the breeding season (which is now)

THIS WATER IS AT THE BOTTOM OF A MOUNTAIN CALLED PEN-Y-FAN WHICH IS THE HIGHEST PEAK IN SOUTH WALES

Seeing what's at the bottom of the waterfall. See the rainbow....

Common Carder bumble bee Bombus pascuorum

The bottom of this small bottle is textured in such a way that with lighting and the right background you get a wonderful abstract.

Another shot from my favorite beach. I have 100's more, but I promise not to post them all. :) The guys in the middle of the shot sell fresh coconut water, which is very refreshing.

Bank Bottom Mill, later known as Marsden Mill, was from 1824 an important centre for the production of woollen cloth in Marsden, West Yorkshire, England. Originally a fulling mill, Bank Bottom Mill reached its heyday in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries under the ownership of the Crowther family, in particular John Edward Crowther, a businessman and philanthropist. However, the cloth industry declined in the late twentieth century, and production of woollen cloth finally ceased in 2003.

Black bottom Macarons was something that I came up with,

The crunchiness of the chocolate cookie adds to the delicious almond Macaron top with dark chocolate drizzle,

Filled with Raspberry jam that is mixed with almond paste,

I was pleased when everyone had more than one.

I have a good number of Willughby's leafcutter bees going about their busy bee lives in my garden in the summer, but I met this lovely female nectaring on common restharrow at St Cyrus NNR. I love the distinctive pose that leafcutters adopt when nectaring, pointing their (often pollen-laden) bottom up! ... so Bottoms Up for a happy weekend everyone!

HMM peeps!

Lookout tower Klucanina near Tišnov, Czech republic

I have had a most rare

vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to

say what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go

about to expound this dream.

Ummm. Yes 😁 Bottoms Reservoir turns a fetching shade of pink during a rather spectacular dawn. Makes returning to my desk a little more bearable!

Leopard's Bain from the garden.

It’s that time of year isn’t it, spiders webs are everywhere, or maybe just more visible

Thanks for stopping by

Jökulsárlón is a large glacial lake in southern part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. Situated at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the glaciers. It is now about 8 km away from the ocean's edge and covers an area of about 18 km2. In 2009 it was reported to be the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 284 m, as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. The size of the lake has increased fourfold since the 1970s.

The lake can be seen from Route 1 between Höfn and Skaftafell. It appears as "a ghostly procession of luminous blue icebergs".

Jökulsárlón has been a setting for four Hollywood movies: A View to a Kill, Die Another Day, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Batman Begins, as well as the reality TV series The Amazing Race. In 1991, Iceland issued a postage stamp, with a face value of 26 kronur, depicting Jökulsárlón.

The tongue of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is a major attraction for tourists.

The Jökulsárlón lake provides outstanding views of the ice cap, a vast dome of ice that rises to a height of 3,000 ft. It spills to the lagoon 12 mi away from the jagged glacier hill to the edge of the water line. The lake developed only about 60 years ago (1948 is mentioned), when the entire area was less than 100 ft of glacier, which was only 250 yd from the Atlantic Ocean, and 2 mi away from Vatnajökull. Vatnajökull was at the shore line of the ocean and dropped icebergs into the ocean. However, it started drifting inland rapidly every year, leaving deep gorges en route, which got filled with melted water and large chunks of ice. These icebergs gather at the mouth of the lake's shallow exit, melt down into smaller ice blocks, and roll out into the sea. In summer, icebergs melt and roll down the channel into the sea. The lake does not freeze in winter. Ice water and soil make a unique ecological phenomenon. Jökulsárlón Lake, the "glacier lake", is now reported to have doubled in size in the recent 15-year period. The huge blocks of ice that calve from the edge of Vatnajökull are about 30 m high, which fills the lagoon stocked with icebergs. Some icebergs appear naturally sculpted on account volcanic ash from ancient eruptions that partly covers them.

The icebergs that calve from the glacier edge move towards the river mouth and get entrenched at the bottom. The movement of the icebergs fluctuates with the tide currents, as well as being affected by wind. However, they start floating as icebergs when their size is small enough to drift to the sea. These icebergs are seen in two shades: milky white and bright blue, which depends on the air trapped within the ice and is an interplay of light and ice crystals.

The lake is filled with fish that drift in from the sea along with the tides. Seals gather in large numbers at the mouth of the lake to catch fish during the winter. Large numbers of seabirds, particularly Arctic terns, which nest nearby, gather to catch herring, trout, salmon, krill and other fish. Breiðamerkursandur (the large sand deposits in the area) is the main habitat of the Arctic skua (Stercorarius parasiticus). During the summer season, the gull-like skuas have their nests on the lake's shores. The skuas, fat and dark in colour with white wingtips, are said to be aggressive "pirates of the seas", which harass other birds as big as gannets. They also kill and eat smaller birds such as puffins. Great skuas are not afraid of human beings and also do not tolerate human beings close to their nests. These birds are reported to migrate from their wintering grounds off the coasts of Spain and Africa. Seals are seen either swimming in the lagoon or lying on icebergs. Many times, the tides carry shoals of herring or capelan into the lagoon by the tide and the birds feast on them

The conditions looked good to try the wine glass again. The glass is sitting on a ice shelf that was sloped a bit. I packed some snow under the glass base to level it but as you can see its still off some. Going to have to retry the shot :)

This is the lower falls a Rolley Lake park and I took a buddy here to see it as he's never seen this view of it. They do have a viewing platform but the falls is obstructed by trees. A mad scramble down a steep slope and you reach this view which is much nicer!! Kris...

I have disabled the comments, but thank everyone that took a closer look!

Enjoy the new week!

Bottom of my watch for Macro Monday

Scotland 2022

We have travelled to Scotland for a few days and had a fine time. Good company, good weather (in the main), good food and lastly great opportunities to bring out the camera.

1st Day

Culzean Castle – The home of Robert Burns

Trip along the coastline to Maidens, a seaside town

Finally on to Turnberry (Trump Turnberry)

2nd Day

Off to Ardrossan to catch the ferry to Arran

Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the island that well as the weather came in on us until mid-afternoon but we did get to see the island from top to bottom by coach.

3rd Day

Departing Ayrshire, we travel through the picturesque Trossachs. We had time to visit Callander. Then run alongside Loch Earn to visit the Glenturret distillery, (Famous Grouse Whiskey) for a tour and tasting exercise. They have some special single malt that sells for £5,000. Well someone had to take up the slack. They have a Lalique restaurant and shop. My favourite part, the glass was just stunning.

Finally we had free time in the village of Crieff.

4th Day

On to Dundee, to visit the City’s rejuvenated waterfront. We boarded RRS Discovery, the ship of both Shackleton and Scott. Had an interesting tour and then another tour to the new Victoria and Albert museum, which was for me the highlight of the day.

We finished the day with a visit to Arbroath and finally on to Carnoustie. The end and home next day.

A great time was had by all and as usual I took too many photographs, not a surprise and this is the first batch of six
