Continuing my theme of Autumn leaves, I spotted these in a large puddle, Glad I had my polariser on which worked well to bring out the earthy tones of the leaves.
I put on a vignette to isolate the brighter leaves in the center. just goes to show there is a photograph to be had even in a puddle.
We have been down to Halnaker Windmill and the tree tunnel this morning to see if there is any Autumn colour, I must say there is not a lot of Autumn colour there yet, more when I post an image in a day or so.
The light wasn't the best, the location is so-so, but just wanted to try some really wide angle here. 8 vertical frames.

Suprematism is an early twentieth-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles). The term refers to a form of abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic expression" rather than on a visual or literal depiction of objects. It is entirely subjective and gives room to the artist to present what they think or perceive versus what they may see.

Some of you who are following my photostream may have noticed an increase in the number of pinhole photographs showing fishnet floaters and other washed-up floatsam. It should be no surprise that I would find this kamani haole tree covered with similar plastic floaters.
Are these floaters from the Japan's Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami?
From my series, "Pinholes at high-tide".

Captured a hummingbird in flight against a gray sky. Photo was underexposed out of the camera, so a few adjustments in PS turned the sky almost white.
Ice which has calved off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier floats serenely in the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, trying to decide whether to head out the channel to the ocean, or just slowly melt here.
Built for the 2018 BricksLA LEGO convention, this model represents a typical parade float from the Tournament of Roses Parade held annually in Pasadena, California on New Years Day. While similar to several floats from past parades, this is solely from my imagination! It took about a week to build and also had a large marching band on a brick built road. At next years BricksLA, it will have additional parade elements added to the display.
Smile on Saturday -- Ice cream
When I was a kid, an ice cream and Orange Crush float was one of my favourite ways to consume ice cream. So when the theme was announced, a float was my first thought. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I thought it would be.
I set up my shot, lighting, tripod etc minus the ice cream, using just a glass with Orange Crush in it. So far so good. I had the glass only about 2/3 full to allow room for the ice cream as I planned to make the float without moving the glass. Though I'd left room, I had not figured in how much the carbonated beverage would foam up when the ice cream was added. It flowed down the outside of the glass and submerged the ice cream. So I had to eat that one and go back to the drawing board.
The lengths I go to for my art! Tonight I am going to try my third float of the day. It will be an adult float as it will feature a splash of blood-orange gin in it. :-)
Disclaimer: No butterflies were harmed in the making of this float.

Glass floats are hollow glass shapes that fishermen used to attach to their nets or lines to hold the sides of the net or the mouth of a trawl net up toward the surface of the water. They aren't really used anymore by fishermen, but many of them are still afloat in the world's oceans, primarily the Pacific, and have have become a popular collectors' item for beachcombers and decorators. Like me.

The floats this homeowner has painstakingly assembled here into folk art (his opinion) or an eyesore (his neighbors') were originally used to mark the location of crab pots. I wonder whether he found them on the beach or whether he bought them from fishermen.
I think it's the latter, because in the 16 months we've been here I have found a total of one intact float on the beach and three or four fragments large enough to merit inclusion in the beach combing collection. At that rate this would represent several decades' worth of collecting.
The vessel in the center of the photo is a Columbia River gillnetter. In my opinion, it's the most graceful class of boat ever to ply the waters of the mighty Columbia since the arrival of Europeans.
Forty years ago it was common to see them along the highway where they were used as garden ornaments. Not so today.

I encountered these floats from a purse seine net outside the sheds at Fishermen's Terminal in Seattle, WA, and found the colorful and orderly jumble compelling
