One of my huge peony buds covered in water drops after a morning shower. You can see the refraction of the hanger from a hanging flower basket in the big droplet...it kind of looks like a hook ;-) Please view large.
Have a great Saturday and awesome weekend, my friends!
The stretch of Route 1 through the rugged Big Sur Coast is, probably, the most beautiful road I've had the pleasure of driving along. The views are fascinating, and every turn (and there are many) opens up a new perspective. It is a very slow road, and not just because of twists and turns, but also because I feel compelled to stop every few minutes and take pictures or just enjoy the scenery.
Bixby Creek Bridge, seen at the right of the image, is essentially the Northern entrance to the fascinating Big Sur Coast area. Before the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to blockages on the often impassable Old Coast Road, which led 11 miles (18 km) inland. The bridge, at 360 feet (110 m), was the longest concrete arch span on the California State Highway System. It is one of the tallest single-span concrete bridges in the world. [Wikipedia] The whole road through Big Sur is an amazing feat of engineering.
Big Eyes are watching us......... alien?......or in disguise?.......
For the Macro Mondays theme: “Speckled”.
Covered the the lens with a kind a textured glassine paper and got this result. You could get the same textured result by using an artificial texture in PS or Lightroom or an other program, but this is an easier way to do ;-))
Happy Macro Monday everyone!

We were driving on Highway 2 towards Spokane and passed the sunflowers-turned around to take pictures. It was only then that we saw the abandoned farmstead in the distance.
As if protected by bigger brothers, a nestled fern lay shielded from the elements, in the Kinnikinnick forest.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
