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.

This Cattle Egret was returning to the colony at the end of the day as the sun was setting in the south of France.
Cattle egrets have shown one of the greatest range expansions in the world of birds. At the beginning of the 20th century, the western form of cattle egret was only established in southern Spain, Portugal and North and tropical Africa. Over the next few decades they spread south to South Africa and began to spread north across Europe. They even managed to cross the Atlantic to reach South America, and have dispersed throughout that continent and up into North America, with breeding recorded as far north as Canada.

Le Geai des chênes (Garrulus glandarius) est un grand passereau de la famille des corvidés. C’est un joli oiseau au plumage paré de couleurs vives plutôt discret et timide. Le Geai des chênes est très répandu en France. Très friand de glands de chênes qu’il stocke abondamment en automne, le Geai des chênes contribue à favoriser l’expansion de cet arbre grâce aux très nombreux glands cachés qu’il ne mange pas et qui finissent par germer et donner de nouvelles pousses.
The Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) is a large passerine of the family Corvidae. It is a pretty bird with plumage dressed in bright colors rather discreet and timid. The Eurasian Jay is widespread in France. Very fond of acorns of oaks which it stores abundantly in autumn, the Jay of the oaks contributes to promote the expansion of this tree thanks to the numerous hidden acorns which it does not eat and which finally germinate and give new shoots.

The comapny Dolata was established in 1998, but it wasn't until 2018 that they expanded to the railway. They started in Dąbrowa (near Poznań) as a gravel/aggregates mine and sorting facility. Now they also do transports and produce concrete. The name comes from the company owner - Agnieszka Dolata.
The expansion to the rails happened (afaik) in 2018 and BR232-789 was the first class 232 locomotive to receive Dolata's black and silver livery. The company currently has a railway operations base in Szamotuły (also near Poznań), where they repair their sizeable fleet, now consisting of a couple of 232 and TEM2 locomotives (additionally - they own an ex-PKP ST44 locomotive, but there are no plans of bringing it back to life).
On a foggy November morning, while visiting my family in Rokietnica, I made my way to the local railway station and snapped this picture of Dolata's first 232 at the aggregate siding near the station. Since then, the station has had a substantial overhaul and the siding has ceased existing.

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.

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.

A composite of two photos. The central photo was taken in Colchester county, Nova Scotia, very close to where we live.
Une combinaison de deux photos. la photo centrale a été prise dans le comté de Colchester en Nouvelle-Écosse.
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.

The Cathcart Tower is located on Cedar Island in the St. Lawrence River of the Thousand Islands National Park of Canada near Kingston, Ontario. The Cathcart Tower is a Classified Federal Heritage Building because of its historical military associations and architectural value. It is closely associated with the defence of British North America and Canada in the mid-19th century. The tower is one of four Martello towers representing part of the final phase of the Kingston area defence system. The final phase of construction was spurred by the Oregon Crisis of 1845-1846 over a Canada-US boundary dispute, during which war between Great Britain and the United States seemed imminent. The crisis was resolved while the Kingston Martello Towers were under construction and there was no need to arm them until 1861-1862 when British-American relations again deteriorated during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. The Cedar Island Cathcart Tower therefore represents pre-Confederation efforts to maintain sovereignty during a period of American expansion.

La tour Cathcart est située sur l'île Cedar, dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent du parc national des Mille-Îles du Canada, près de Kingston, en Ontario. La tour Cathcart est un édifice fédéral du patrimoine classé en raison de ses associations militaires historiques et de sa valeur architecturale. Elle est étroitement associée à la défense de l'Amérique du Nord britannique et du Canada au milieu du XIXe siècle. La tour est l'une des quatre tours Martello représentant une partie de la phase finale du système de défense de la région de Kingston. La phase finale de construction a été stimulée par la crise de l'Oregon de 1845-1846 à la suite d'un conflit frontalier entre le Canada et les États-Unis, au cours duquel la guerre entre la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis semblait imminente. La crise a été résolue pendant la construction des tours Martello de Kingston et il n'a pas été nécessaire de les armer avant 1861-1862, lorsque les relations entre la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis se sont à nouveau détériorées pendant la guerre civile américaine de 1861-1865. La tour Cathcart de l'île Cedar représente donc les efforts déployés avant la Confédération pour maintenir la souveraineté pendant une période d'expansion américaine.
