A deceptive sort of day in the Firth of Forth,it was stormy on one side of the island and calm on the other,nice and clear though.

Apesar de parecer o contrário, 'este' levou o mesmo caminho de todos os outros... ;-)
A very deceptive image as this bug turned out to have the same fate of all others... ;-)
Much of the PEI coast is made of red sandstone and, of course red sand. Overall, this makes for colorful seascapes. Add some moss and a little sunset reflection and you have a colorful composition. The dark red makes you think the sand is mud but it is just sand and sandstone. Northumberland Strait, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
possibly a Geoglossum fallax ( Schuppige Erdzunge ) or close relative in our garden in Poole. Approx 3 cm tall
The location at the fishing pond near Wernberg actually looks very idyllic. But that's deceptive. It is located right next to the Freeway 93. Due to the heavy traffic, the two Desiros could hardly be heard.
Ocean Ridge, Florida
A turbulent scene calmed by an 11 minute exposure. The turbulence was the result of a powerful nor'easter that slammed the U.S. northeast a few days prior. I wanted to get closer to the jetty but I'm not yet brave or adept enough to work my gear in rushing water. And I hate getting sand in my shorts ;-)
Taken with the Singh-Ray I-Ray 830 nm IR filter (first attempt with the D810). My limited experimentation reveals the D810 to be no more sensitive to IR than the D750 (unsurprisingly), rendering the I-Ray 830 roughly equivalent to a 20-stop ND for these unconverted platforms, necessitating long exposures and/or large apertures at low ISO values.
There are a couple things going on with this image and the title. First, my sunset was clear, so I used a sky from the next morning. Yes, this is a composite, and I don't mind divulging that. But second, this area is an old toxic dumping ground. I didn't realize it when researching it as a possible location, but soon learned of its history shortly before my first visit.
"The deceptively cute Canada Jay is one of the most intrepid birds in North America, living in northern forests year-round and rearing chicks in the dark of winter. Highly curious and always on the lookout for food, Canada Jays eat just about anything, from berries to small animals. They may even land on your hand to grab a raisin or peanut. During summer they hoard food in trees to sustain themselves through bleak winters.'
a gradual bend in the tracks west of tunnel four no.37 on the union pacific roseville subdivision over the sierra nevada in northern california makes the mid train DPUs appear closer than they actually are.
visible just through the trees in the upper right hand side of this image, the DPUs are actually a half a mile away just east of cisco road.
freight trains generally travel no more than twenty five miles an hour over the donner pass route and it will be some minutes before the middle helpers pass our vantage point atop tunnels 38 and 39.
Many of these little sinks within the marshier areas of Mer Bleue Bog (see location below) can be deceptively benign-looking, especially at the beginning of mild winters like the one we're off to this year. Our spring and autumn walks have shown that water in some of them can easily top a 12" pair of waterproof boots, right Soaker?
"That's right, Edna, but you were not supposed to add that part."
Anyway, when it's mild outside, like today, a two or three kilometer walk home with a wet foot would be uncomfortable but not likely to do any damage, but if a cold snap moves in overnight and there's enough insulating snow over the thin spots to keep them that way, a wet foot could be serious business. Of course this all concerns Dad, not me; a few shakes of my paw will rid me of any excess water.
So you see in this photo that Dad was sticking close to the higher ground on the left on our way in, while I was unconcerned in traversing the middle, as was the deer which you can see preceded us earlier this morning.
It's heartening to see that though deer are scarcely seen in our area any more as humanity encroaches, this winter's quantity of tracks are proving that they are still around in fairly good numbers, as are coyotes. Moose numbers are low, however, with only one confirmed set of tracks so far.

The waters in this area are very deceptive and one can find oneself in shallow waters without even realizing it, we experienced this when we first arrived here, and in those days we did not have the "depth finder". Where you can see the waves breaking is a sandbar and it is not on the shore side but on the ocean side.
Enjoy your short ride.
😊 😊 😍 😊 😊 😍
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
A deceptively calm looking winter scene captures Ingra Tor and King's Tor sitting below a snow covered and windswept Great Mis Tor. Thanks for looking - Mk
They may look sweet...but really they're quite aggressive and territorial...the garden bullies!
textures thanks to +jenny and skeletalmess.
Barrel at Bondi, taken using a fisheye lens - deceptive size… was such a small wave (2 ft tops)

I snapped this about 5pm on Monday , on my way to buy milk. The sunshine was deceptive : it was quite chilly!
A bit deceptive as these tables had been reserved for a large party. So, they were I suppose tables in waiting.
Cafe overlooking Andalsnes.
Mt rainier National Park. The size of this falls is very deceptive. It is HUGE!
Joy and I had the opportunity to spend 20 days exploring Olympic and Rainier National Parks and the Oregon coast. The road trip covered 4000 miles. Coming from the brown of southern California, the intensity of the GREEN in the temperate rain forests wad almost overwhelming. The weather was tough (it is a RAIN forest!) and the light challenging, but it was a magnificent trip. I hope you enjoy some of the shots.
All the photos I took of Trowell Moor are rather deceptive being taken from the side of the busy A609.

deceptive perspective; snake is only 6" [150mm] long and at most 3/8" [10mm] thick. all i had was the 800/6.3, so i backed up and stopped down.
A country mile is a deceptively long distance, an extremely long way. The idea behind a country mile is the fact that most country roads are not in a straight line. Instead, roads in the country tend to meander up and down and all around. This makes it seem as if a mile in the country takes longer to cross than a straight mile in the city. In addition, with the long distances between landmarks that are common in the country, rural people tend to underestimate actual distances whereas urban people tend to overestimate actual distances.
The beautiful spiral galaxy visible in the center of the image is known as RX J1140.1+0307, a galaxy in the Virgo constellation imaged by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, and it presents an interesting puzzle. At first glance, this galaxy appears to be a normal spiral galaxy, much like the Milky Way, but first appearances can be deceptive!
The Milky Way galaxy, like most large galaxies, has a supermassive black hole at its center, but some galaxies are centered on lighter, intermediate-mass black holes. RX J1140.1+0307 is such a galaxy — in fact, it is centered on one of the lowest black hole masses known in any luminous galactic core. What puzzles scientists about this particular galaxy is that the calculations don’t add up. With such a relatively low mass for the central black hole, models for the emission from the object cannot explain the observed spectrum. There must be other mechanisms at play in the interactions between the inner and outer parts of the accretion disk surrounding the black hole.

A hulder is a seductive forest creature found in Scandinavian folklore. Huldra is a troll-like woman, fair and beautiful… but wild and she has a long cow-tail which she hides behind her back upon meeting a human. If a human manages to somehow see their tail the human is no longer susceptible to the huldra’s advances.
It is said that she is one of ‘de underjordiske’, lost souls who live under the surface of the earth, calling for someone to be with them, usually human passers-by. But she somehow remained above the ground. Some huldra are inherently deceptive and evil, but many respond to the treatment they receive. If treated kindly, they have been known to use their magic to help humans, and solve their problems. If treated unkindly, they can be hateful, and vengeful.

A beautiful beach and crystal-clear waters sheltered from the open Southern Ocean beyond by the steep cliffs on either side would apparently make this an idyllic location. But as you've seen if you've been following this stream this week, this is Loch Ard Gorge, site of one of Australia's great Victorian tragedies - and almost-romances.
In the early hours of 1 June 1878, the Loch Ard, a Glasgow-built clipper, was approaching the end of a three-month voyage on a murky night when cliffs were seen ahead and despite the crew's best efforts, the ship ran aground on Muttonbird Island just beyond the entrance above.
Of the 36 crew and 18 passengers, only two survived. Only four bodies were recovered from the Loch Ard and most of the cargo was lost, including all but one of a range of high-quality items intended for display at Melbourne's 1880 International Exhibition.
Today, the Loch Ard Gorge is part of Port Campbell National Park, which also includes the Glenample Homestead and the world-famous Twelve Apostles.
Another deceptively simple painting I attempted from a picture in a book - hard to do well I can tell you
A deceptive winter sun, cold to the body but warm to the heart :-)
Enjoy your day but don't forget the night ;-)
Looks can be deceptive, as with this NYFD fire engine. It’s been a month of work getting this photo-ready, working with the pain of building in 7-wide and adding in a half-plate stripe accurate to the real thing. Emergency vehicles are notoriously hard in Lego form without the use of stickers :P
C&C welcome in the comments.
During our attempt to circumnavigate Eyjafjnallajokull (glacier) in southern Iceland, we encountered Einhyrningur (mountain), a stunning and visually deceptive mountain. As we circled it the shape changed dramatically, and it had the appearance of being burst open on one side, at the peak.

Self-portrait near the top of Paretetaitonga of Mt Ruapehu, overlooking the deceptively calm Summit Crater Lake. The highest point of the North Island, Tahurangi, can be seen at the upper right corner.

"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth."

A wonderful winter walk in Arches National Park. It was cold ... but oh the pristine beauty of the contrasts in color. The walk back to the Devil's Thumb.

Distance can be a bit deceptive in Death Valley... the Grapevine Mountains seen here are little over 4 miles at the closest. They surround Titus Canyon, where we had spent much of the day. Not much grows in this gravel field, though had there been just a little more rain this spring it likely would have been covered over with a brilliant yellow flower known as Desert Gold. We saw a few here or there, but mostly what you see here is Desert Holly (as its leaves resemble that of a holly) and, in the distance, are Creosote Bushes (so named for the resinous odor of the leaves, though it could be because they're so hardy they could probably grow in creosote). Today's high for this very spot was 124°F (51°C)... it's a dry heat, but don't let that fool you. The hot, dry air is hygroscopic, which essentially means that it's able to pull moisture from your body. Back home in North Carolina, when the thermometer hits the 90s, sweat just soaks you through due to high humidity. In Death Valley, sweat evaporates quickly... if you're not drinking a lot of water here, you'll be dry as a chip before you know it.
There's something about the desolation of this spot that makes the sky seem so much bigger. It was clear blue all day long until sunset. Sunlight wasn't willing to give in so easily to the coming evening... clouds formed seemingly out of nowhere to reflect the longer wavelength of red. Quite the light show... and a nice followup to the air show we had in the morning, as Marine and Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets from the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Center split the sky with their best impressions of Top Gun... I love the sound of fighter aircraft, even in the quietest moments.
This is growing in my wife`s wild garden, The Borage herb looks rather fearsome with what looks like fangs that will impale you but in actual fact you can cook with it, not that I have tried it .

"The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are." - John Burroughs
------
There was a slight rain happening over lunch hour today, so my walk was quieter than usual. There were less people out on the trail walking, running and biking so I was able to take my time and enjoy the sound of waves coming in from the river.
This path was a new one to me, I hadn't noticed it before so I followed it today and it led me to my usual lunch spot, so now I have an alternate route and a pretty picture!
I liked the way the branches seemed to be going every which way so I figured I'd try getting a decent shot, I don't feel I really did it justice, but I do like the way it turned out!
Hope everyone has had a good Friday.
