So....is "more interesting" a good thing? I could say that this has been an interesting week, but not an exceptionally good week. There are not enough hours in a day lately, and not enough fun in the hours, and there have been too many disappointments and a lack of motivation ....
Well, a new week begins tomorrow...and maybe it will be "more interesting." And I can only hope that that will be a good thing!
Happy Sliders Sunday
What defines us is how well we rise after we fall.

Whale biologist Hal Whitehead defines a breach as when more than 40% of the animal is above water, whereas a lunge is when less than 40% appears. I remember that this adult Humpback Whale dropped back into the water straight after this shot, and I'd guess about 40% is on show, so this is a borderline breach. You can see water pouring out of its mouth (especially on the far side) and cascading down its back. I think the top of its pectoral fin is just visible if you zoom in, though it looks oddly absent. That misty area just left of its mouth is actually its breath as it quickly dissipates in the next pictures in the sequence. This was taken at Gorda Banks off the southern tip of the Baja peninsula.

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." -Confucius.
Pleased that I found a good quote, I go onto Macro Mondays to check the exact theme wording and realise, this is the quote they gave as an example. D'oh! So how about "Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well." Anon.
Anyway, another butterfly a-roosting, but this one's been in the shower! Happy Bank Holiday Macro Monday everyone! :-)
Boca Tapada, Costa Rica, 2015.
It had been raining 24 hours nonstop. Rain was heavy and just when you think there can't be more, it will really start pouring. Maybe I should have thought about why rain forest is called rain forest.
Let the World see you “Just The Way You Are.” Stand tall, alone and proud. You were made by the creator to be just as you right now. Others will be happy to have known you just as you were created. You light up your surroundings “Just The Way You Are.” Your “Gratitude and Kindness can define you, so let them, you’re worth it.”
The defining feature of Frenchman Coulee (apart from The Feathers) is the waterfall on the northside of the canyon. It can be viewed from the road, and seen from nearly anywhere.
Years and years ago I found myself to the other side, and could only remember a small pull off and a trail that led to the waterfall itself.
This time, I found a little complex of campsites and roads that lead to other campsites. I'm sure these were here long before my first visit, but I just never ventured over.
And I am sure these are full on spring and summer weekends. Even the weekend I last visited was home to several dozen campers - despite beinge below freezing.
But I found the waterfall again, and the fog rolled in.

This beauty easily defines “A Late November Day” The rich color, contrast and clean breathable air are hinting towards an enjoyable Autumn day in November. Probably my favorite season of the year for all the reasons outlined. I look forward to being outdoors either working, walking or just playing around in the yard. I hope you’re enjoying your Autumn season as well. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind. I hope you’re well enough to cast your Vote soon and surely then you’ll Wash Your Hands🙏’s. :-)
I noticed the way the lights on the tree (!?) were reflecting through the beer in the glass and I had to do something about it.
I'm not really happy with the focus, but considering the slow-ish shutter speed and me holding the glass in one hand with the camera in the other, I think it turned out quite well!

Windmills have become part of the Canarian landscape, silent witnesses of a past in which they played an important role in the economy of the islands. In the case of Fuerteventura, they existed profusely because this typology is developed mainly in arid or desert regions, taking the wind as a source of energy, to make up for the lack of water currents. To this contributed the almost permanent presence of air currents in the islands and the orography of the island, characterized by vast plains only "interrupted" by these peculiar constructions.
Their typologies are made up of two very different types, but one of them predominates numerically. The most abundant is defined by an architectural structure of flat circular plant, with truncated cone shape made of masonry, topped by an irregular conical or pyramidal wooden roof of which one of its parts is open to give exit to the axis of the blades. The interior is divided into two floors, with access to the upper floor by an interior staircase, in some cases, or exterior, in others. The other typology, of which there are fewer examples, is defined by a quadrangular building, on which rises a tower made with a framework of wooden railings, which supports the blades. In the center of the tower descends an axis that connects the gearing of the blades with the stones.

Because I am not monogamous, everyone has always accused me of having a harem, mostly in jest. So I thought I would show off my harem, as it were. Not all of these women are lovers. Some are simply great friends that I enjoy hanging with. I am blessed.
Taken at the Monarch Club.
"If beauty was a drop of water, you'll be the ocean" ;)
My first try of capturing a water drop shot. It was a little bit trickier than what I initially thought. Nevertheless, I got this somewhat respectable beauty. HMM!
Have a Great Sunday Everyone
This is what i called "predicted focus" (keep focusing on the water, where the bird might landing), thanks to meetvasu for noticing!
I discovered a new Phenomenon on Monday, January 4, 2021, while taking photo images around the outside of my home in Dubuque, Iowa. I admit I had never heard of Rime Ice/Frost before which is a white ice that forms when the water droplets in fog freeze to the outer surfaces of objects. It is often seen on tree tops atop mountains and ridges in Winter, when low-hanging clouds cause freezing fog. Officially the weather service defines rime ice as "an opaque coating of tiny, white, granular ice particles caused by rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets on impact with an object. These next images were taken on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 when the beautiful sunshine was shimmering off the Rime Ice/Frost before it all melted away.

The Waterpocket Fold is the major geologic feature that defines Capitol Reef National Park. It is a buckle in the earth's surface, almost 100 miles long, running north-south from Thousand Lake Mountain down to Lake Powell. Along The Fold, rocks have been pushed upward and erosion has cut through the layers, creating deep narrow canyons and interesting formations.
I have stitched 3 high res portrait-format photographs for this panorama...so please zoom in for more details...
Die Waterpocket Fold ist die wichtigste geologische Formation, die den Capitol Reef National Park definiert. Es ist eine Wölbung in der Erdoberfläche, die fast 100 Meilen lang ist und Nord-Süd von Thousand Lake Mountain hinunter zum Lake Powell läuft. Entlang der Falte sind Felsen nach oben geschoben worden, und die Erosion hat die Schichten durchgeschnitten, indem sie tief schmale Schluchten und interessante Formationen schafft.
Ich habe dieses SW-Panorama aus 3 hochauflösenden Hochformat-Fotos zusammengesetzt...bitte zoomt rein für mehr Details...
