For Macro Mondays' #drips, drops and splashes theme
It's been a while since I've been here, but this really tapped into something I've wanted to try for ages. (And luckily it corresponded with the family all going off on scout camp and leaving me to my own devices for a few days....)
The background is a colouring-in sheet I completed years ago; even back then I appear to have been quite keen on rainbows!
The image is just over 2inches across.
I'm pretty certain there is no requirement to have motion for this theme, but I'm conscious this is a little different from others in the pool. It's definitely drops, though, and definitely under 3inches across, so hoping it fits.
Superfast 11 passenger ship departure....

L'aigrette garzette mesure entre 55 et 65 cm avec une envergure de 85 à 95 cm. Elle pèse 500 g en moyenne. Il n'y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel. Elle est entièrement blanche avec un bec noir légèrement gris bleuté à la base et ses pattes sont noires avec des doigts jaunes. En période nuptiale, elle porte sur la nuque deux longues plumes fines de 20 cm environ appelées les aigrettes
Elle est présente en Europe du Sud, sur tout le pourtour méditerranéen jusqu'en Afrique subsaharienne.
L'Aigrette garzette se rencontre dans toutes les zones humides aux eaux peu profondes, lagunes, claires à huîtres, avec une prédilection pour les eaux saumâtres. Elle est aussi fréquente le long des cours d'eau que dans les marais dans certaines régions. Souvent observée en compagnie d'autres ardéidés.
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of three to five bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents for about three weeks. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.[2]
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. Its range is continuing to expand westward, and the species has begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of "least concern". source Wikipédia

I took this as some low, fast-moving clouds rolled through. It was my first time photographing the Arch with the new lights (in 2019). They definitely open up additional options for creative night photography!

Pica pica (Eurasian magpie / Urraca común)
The Eurasian magpie or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout the northern part of the Eurasian continent.
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human animals. The expansion of its nidopallium is approximately the same in its relative size as the brain of chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and humans. It is the only bird known to pass the mirror test, along with very few other non-avian species.
Gracias,pronto me pondre al dia con vuestras visitas.
Thanks, I soon will be updated with your views

A fantastic morning a few days ago. The inversion was nice but the cloud rolled in and gave some gorgeous first light looking towards loch Lubnaig.
These beauties are starting to be seen more and more in Nova Scotia, apparently a range expansion is happening.
Seen in Victoria Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The brightly painted Chac mool holding a basin is on the platform of a temple to Tlaloc, the rain god. The second stage of the Templo Mayor, ca. 1400, was encapsulated by several expansions built over the course of the 15th century. The whole complex was destroyed in 1521 by the Spanish.
En estos tiempos no es fácil hablar de una especie que esté en expansión, pero curiosamente es el caso de la Curruca cabecinegra ( Sylvia melanocephala). Su reino, el matorral mediterráneo, cada vez ocupa más extensión, quizá por el abandono de muchas zonas de campo. En la fotografía un macho en Sierra Morena.
In these times it is not easy to speak of a species that is expanding, but curiously it is the case of the Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala). His kingdom, the Mediterranean scrub, occupies more and more extension, perhaps due to the abandonment of many areas of the countryside. In the photograph a male in Sierra Morena. SW Spain

The engineer notches out four-month-old Susquehanna B40-8 4002 as it approaches BD interlocking in Binghamton, New York. The Susquehanna’s rapid traffic growth in the mid-1980’s had it looking for power wherever it was available, including leasing the trailing ex-BN F45 from National Railway Leasing. The GE became Providence & Worcester 4004.

After the Delaware & Hudson’s expansion as a result of the Conrail merger, the D&H was short of power, and looked in all directions for additional locomotives. One solution came in the form of a group of ex-Long Island high hood C420’s that had outlived their lease to the LIRR. Although they were patched as D&H assets, I don’t believe that they were around for very long. Here two of them are sandwiched between an ex-LV C420 and an M-K RS3 rebuild on a northbound train (westbound on this line) departing Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I've photographed this rock formation once before and am very much in love with the photo from that time last year.
This past weekend, I photographed it again.
While both are with the same lens and camera, as well as the same film, both are quite different.
I mean, the photos are composed almost exactly the same, and even the light was similar. But things are different enough to make me want to shoot it again. Just to see.
I took several shots of it last weekend. This is my favorite of the bunch.
The formation has no official name, but I have been calling it Pillbox Rock as that is about its size.
