I didn't manage to catch any falling droplets from the icicles in my previous photo (at least not with any degree of sharpness, since I didn't have my faster 50mm lens on), so here is one from last winter. I doubt we are going to have any more snow or ice this season, so there go my chances of trying this again!
... this is a different crop (a square crop that I love these days) and re-edit of a photo I'd posted last year....
Etta's been in the waterhole :)
Daily Dog Challenge: Fibonacci
I hadn't heard of this before but it's quite fascinating. I think, if I understand correctly, that this approximates the Fibonacci spiral. Hope so :I
I went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. I took two shots of this Japanese fountain with an LED light from two different directions, then blended them.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo separately from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

A Line of Drips
Last weekend I had my first attempt at macro drips on a leaf, today I tried again and this time I managed to get the flower reflected in the drops, I realise there is much room for improvement but I'm much happier with the result.
This is a very fine leaf blade held in a clamp with a primula flower in another clamp placed behind.I lit them from the side trying to keep most of the light on the drops of water which I added with a pipette.
I used the Raynox close up adaptor on an 85mm lens, f18 1/125 sec ISO 100
drip collector
After a night of heavy rain you can see how nature stores water. The thick raindrops can be seen on the plant. the plant is from the genus Spurge (Euphorbia) it is incomparably diverse with a number of over 2000 species worldwide.Tropfensammler
Nach einer Nacht mit viel Regen kann man sehen wie in der Natur Wasser gespeichert wird. Die diken Regentropfen sind auf der Pflanze zu sehen. bei der Pflanze handelt es sich um die Gattung Wolfsmilch (Euphorbia) sie ist mit einer Zahl von weltweit über 2000 Arten unvergleichlich vielfältig.

Writing about human suffering runs many risks, and most of these risks have been the subject of to much commentary. But there is also the artifice of packaging something so it offends the senses, but not too much. Surely, this too is a marker of a lost innocence. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be asked to write, or even reflect overmuch on what is described in these pages, because in Haiti, I am asked to do only one thing: be a doctor, to serve the destitute sick. And since none of my patients can pay for my services, it is my job, my great privilege, to draw attention to the suffering of the poor and to bring resources to bear on the problems that are remediable. Most are.
I contemplate my own loss of innocence with resentment, sometimes in even in tearful silence. From whom can I demand it back? As Garcia Lorca said, "Things that go away never return-everybody knows that."
Everybody knows that things that go away never return.
