Pottering about a bit in our Snowy Garden this morning, my Sonyeye became intrigued by this Winter Brightness. Almost violently red Cotoneaster Berries are vying with Gravity - can't show you that - over the fortunes of an H2O-droplet. Amazing forces of Nature form such a droplet. Water molecules would rather band together than bond with other kinds such as air. This desire for proximity to each other causes their spherical shape - a bit technically: a sphere has the smallest possible surface area to volume ratio. What looks like an 'elastic membrane' around the droplet is in fact its surface tension, caused by that central molecular binding. This tension is quite something: it makes it possible for example for small insects to walk on water.
In the photo, our water droplet is not a sphere. It's pendant, pulled out of shape by the force of gravity. And fell into a snowy grave just as Sony did its thing.
Fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
Sometimes described as a wooden Thrup'nny bit this coin was worth 1/80 of a pound and bears some resemblance to the present pound coin having 12 sides and golden colour. I chose this for the "Redux" theme on currency.
I've probably been in Thailand too long to think that the water of Emerald Lake would be anything other than freezing cold. Call me soft but even though it was a really hot day I only lasted a few seconds paddling in the lake
Another bit of a reflection of a blossom on the bank of the bayou accompanying one of my good buddies! I like the way the light lit up from the sun! Taken on Horsepen Bayou!

Sometimes a bit of fancy footwork will dazzle those fish into submission. Lance-A-Lot moves gracefully though the shallow water on Horsepen bayou in search of his next meal. Tri-colored Heron doing a bit of foraging on the bayou.

Created for star theme in Macro Monday. HMM :-)
This Torx size 20 bit is almost 4mm across. I have smaller sizes, but this one is teeny enough. lol.. It’s part of my tiny screwdriver bit set that I originally bought for working inside computers. But now I also use it to open parts of the action figures I have that have LED lights. Some of their eyes light up, etc.
A bit of photoshop fun for Sliders Sunday.
Don't ask about the concept here because I'm not sure there is one LOL.
The base image was taken with an ND filter to get a long exposure which removed all of the traffic. The A380 is one of my stock one which I've used before. I tried to work with the proportions here where the wingspan is 80 meters.. Alas, the width of the M6 here is more like 45 metres (verge to verge) making the shadow's wing span approx 60 metres.. So, still a little short...
Anyway, thought it was (just about) worth sharing.. HSS.

This one is from Rose Garden on roof of Molde Town Hall
Most of my Rose photographs are captured in and around the city of Molde. Molde is the second largest city in the county of Møre og Romsdal, lies along the shores of the Romsdalsfjord in Western Norway.
The official, and also most common, nickname for Molde is The City of Roses or Rose City. The town's largest collection of roses is to be found at the Town Hall roof
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds.

This is the first bits of jewelry I bought for my wife thirty three years ago. When we first discussed getting married this is what she picked out for the initial ring set and I added earrings and a pendant on a gold chain. Not a spectacular horde but it means something to her that goes beyond extravagance. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.
A bit further up along Stanger Gill from the last shot, this sloping rock caught my eye. Surely it deserves an official name on the map? Couldn't see one though.
By this point, the cloud was starting to lower and the wind was picking up, especially after leaving the shelter of the northern slopes of Rosthwaite Fell.
I have to admit to a bit of a crush on Suzi Q in my early teens, so I was always going to love this stencil in a Fitzroy laneway by Andy Richmond.
52 Weeks of 2019
Week 38: Get pushed
Category: Creative
The Brief:
The idea of the 'get pushed' theme is that each member of the group picks another member of the '52 weeks of 2019' group who he or she is going to challenge. Browse through the photo stream of that member and find an area of photography that is hardly present in his/her stream.Then give that member a short assignment in that area for him or her to work on next week (week 38).
Thanks to EricNearDetroit for pushing me to do an industrial abstract!

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Happy mid-weekend, everyone! I have been a bit absent from the Flickrsz the last month or so... I have scampered through sporadically, but yes, catch up time for me again, and I can't wait to see the adventures you have all been sharing! I hope everyone has been happy, well and safe.
Here, I'm dancing the night away with my beautiful, super dear friend, Sparkle, 'cause we are both weird sleep freaks and night owls of the uppermost order! Sparkle so completely lives up to her name too, let me tell you! She shines from the inside out with megawatt light, and I swear she got in line twice when they were doling out beauty, intellect, charisma, mad artistic talent and kindness. You can't know her and not adore her. Love you, Sparkling Sassy Thing!! Oh, and I owe her an extra special thank you for working her artsy magic on my unintentional trademark hair glitches in this and for making our elbows look pretty doggone groovy too ... yep, I said that!
I hope you are all having super happy adventures in real life as well as in your online travels, and I am sending everyone heaps of love! xoxo 💕❤️
flowers, from the garden, a bit rain-sun- and wind-damaged, doesn't make it less appealing to me because it's not 'perfect'!
Another type of beauty... A personal favourite.
From my garden, a fragrant red Rose, white Hebe, Yellow St John's wort (Hypericum), and some blue campanula flowers... again ala Victoriana...
Have a lovely day and thanks for your comments, M, (*_*)

A bit of drama in the sky this morning as a frontal system passed through. We raced down to the lookout and snuck in a few quick shots before beating a hasty retreat.

Wild Dogwood Blooms this tree is growing in the woods, pretty wild but holding it's own, a bit thin because of a late freeze, shot in North Carolina.
A bit of artistic coastal geology is right up my photographic street. My strong preference for this kind of subject is soft overcast light. Strong sunlight will often overwhelm the subtle tone and colour on which an image like this relies. As ever, however, we work with what we're given. At this time of year, the sun is at least relatively low in the sky, giving raking side light that reveals form and texture. The challenge then becomes about making the most of what's available, which is what I tried to do here. This was the location I most wanted to visit in Northumberland, so I was initially disappointed with both the conditions and my photographic efforts. All the more so when a return visit later in the week was thwarted by driving rain, strong wind and a surging tide, making photography impossible. But the rock strata are so incredible, I have to share one or two images here.

A bit of blue skies popped through on Thursday afternoon, during our winter interlude! Temps were in the upper 50s when I shot this and it back in the low 20s now, and that's were it's going to stay for awhile Another Polar Vortex is here! Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
The only bit of GB I could find for the theme. It sadly lost its lid a long time ago.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
