I spotted these colourful balls in one of the Ekka's 2016 attractions, it was close to sunset and the light was coming from behind them, so I decided to photo play them with my camera.
With the engines maxed out, BNSF's Q-NWHLAC6-14X intermodal train is seen gripping over the top of a grade near Edelstein behind an SD70ACe leader, BNSF 9051. The morning's fog has lifted just enough in this location to allow the sun to peer through just a bit. Another mile in either direction and the visibility drops to only a couple hundred feet, if that.
The light shining through the wings here made the patterns and colors even more amazing and defined !!
When I was walking yesterday, I saw these little flowering quince blooming (Thank you, [https://www.flickr.com/photos/11815777@N07], for the ID), with the sun partially hitting the backside of some of the petals. So I shot!
Taken yesterday evening at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset, UK.

Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri)
Cascade Mountains - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Forests

Nesting : Tree
Behavior : Ground Forager
Conservation : Low Concern
"A large, dark jay of evergreen forests in the mountainous West. Steller’s Jays are common in forest wildernesses but are also fixtures of campgrounds, parklands, and backyards, where they are quick to spy bird feeders as well as unattended picnic items. When patrolling the woods, Steller’s Jays stick to the high canopy, but you’ll hear their harsh, scolding calls if they’re nearby. Graceful and almost lazy in flight, they fly with long swoops on their broad, rounded wings." - Cornell University Lab of Ornithology

Just had to post one more image of my favourite backlit sheep on Bodmin Moor, as the lighting approaching sunset was so good. In tighter for this shot, and she posed beautifully looking directly to camera....probably thinking, what is this idiot crawling towards me doing !!! Awful weather again in Cornwall today.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
