I spotted these two on my way home from work today.
My best guess at identifying them is that they are either Cayuga ducks or Black East Indian ducks.
From a distance their plumage is jet black but in the right light they are iridescent - as you can see here.
HMM-- the piece itself is just under 2 inches tall and this is a portion of it. need to refresh my memory before i decide whether or not to choose this for the HMM topic of glaze...... but it's SO pretty!!
What a dust battle with this shot, and believe me this was the best I could get with static clean and air blowing as this snapped. I guess the winter static has crept in.
An example of an Ammonite iridescent - from the Cretaceous period that spans 79 million years from the end of the Jurassic Period. Climate was relatively warm, resulting in high sea levels which created lots of shallow inland seas populated with many examples of ammonites.
My daughter loves glittery things! She gave me these because she couldn't justify buying them for herself, and she thought my camera might like them! Perfect for the Smile on Saturday 'Iridescence' theme!
Once upon a bye I used to collect rocks and minerals. This fine sample of Labradorite looks quite dull .. until you catch it in the right light, at which point the colours burst forth!
This is a close up of a binder clip. I got these clips as Christmas presents and they are just perfect for this theme. I went in close and increased saturation and flipped the image to place the shadows in a more pleasing manner.
The mallard is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa and has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa. This species is the main ancestor of most breeds of domesticated ducks. What caught our eye was his bright green iridescent head that was reflecting the sun.
A noisy, sometimes annoying bird, the Common Grackle exhibits a beautiful iridescence in bright sunlight.
This one was seen drinking from water trickling amid the rocky feature at Celery Fields, Florida.
For Macro Mondays. This week's theme is: Pick Two. I used an iridescent hourglass on its side. Just a photo of the middle part. Gives a nice effect I thought.

Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!
I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.
These beautiful pollinators are lining up on this weed with the wings that reflect the summer sunlight with all its color !! ( macro of some hoverflies) !!
This was so incredibly difficult to capture the iridescent nature of this bottle but eventually settled on a long exposure and light painting it with a led torch. Still not quite happy with it but there will be other evenings.
