Macro Monday theme - Jagged
Judging from this macro, I need to get my pinking shears sharpened.
Happy Macro Monday and have a great week!
The view looking north near the crest of the Continental Divide shows the divide to be series of rugged ridges rather than a clean dividing line. These mountains were thrust up between 80 to 40 million years ago (Laramide orogeny) as a high plateau, then subject to erosion from wind and water. Glaciation occurred in several episodes, mostly ending 16,000 years ago with a small blip of an ice age from 1300-1850 (Little Ice Age). The glaciers of the southern Rockies were primarily located in the valleys, and these high peaks and ridges, most over 13,000’/ 4000 m, were not smoothed by ice. The billion year-old granites are relatively resistant to erosion, forming the jagged and serrated ridges.
The nearest valleys below this vantage point on Caribou Ridge are part of the City of Boulder watershed. The three knobby peaks towards the center are (l to r) Apache Peak (in the light), Navajo Peak (with horizontally layered rock in the center), and Arikaree Peak (shaded by the clouds). The peaks in the distance on the left are in the southern part of Rocky Mountain National Park. Coyote Park, seen in my recent posts, is about 3 miles west (left) and 3000’ lower.

"Macro Mondays" "Jagged"
Gestern waren wir im Britzer-Garten. Die Sonne schien ein leichter Wind bewegte die Pflanzen. An einer Buche tanzten die Blätter nach der Melodie eines Walzers. In einem windstillen Moment habe ich mein Foto für das heutige Thema gefunden.
Yesterday we were in the Britzer Garden. The sun was shining and a light wind moved the plants. On a beech the leaves danced to the melody of a waltz. In a calm moment I found my photo for today's theme.
Hier, nous étions au Britzer Garden. Le soleil brillait et un vent léger a déplacé les plantes. Sur un hêtre, les feuilles dansaient sur la mélodie d'une valse. Dans un moment de calme, j'ai trouvé ma photo pour le thème d'aujourd'hui.
Ontem nós estávamos no jardim de Britzer. O sol estava brilhando um vento leve movendo as plantas. Em uma faia, as folhas dançaram para a melodia de uma valsa. Em um momento sem vento, encontrei minha foto para o tópico de hoje.

Igår var vi i Britzer-trädgården. Solen skenade en lätt vind som rörde växterna. På en bok dansade bladen till melodin av en vals. I ett vindlöst ögonblick hittade jag mitt foto för dagens ämne.
I går var vi i Britzerhaven. Solen skinnede en let vind, der flyttede planterne. På en bøg dansede bladene til melodien af en vals. I et vindløst øjeblik fandt jeg mit billede til dagens emne.
Wczoraj byliśmy w Ogrodzie Britzera. Słońce świeciło, a lekki wiatr poruszył rośliny. Na buk liście tańczyły do melodii walca. W spokojnej chwili znalazłem moje zdjęcie na dzisiejszy temat.
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
I had forgotten about the MM theme until almost last light last night. So out to the garden to find a suitable leaf I went. I tried a camellia leaf, which was ok, but the serrations are small and then I spotted the hydrangea leaf, which had to do as about 2 minuets later the sun dropped down and I would have been left without any natural light.
This is about 1.5 inches in size.
Thanks for stopping HMM
Happy Macro Monday ... what we perceive as smooth concrete becomes a jagged surface to traverse.
This was the second capture I was able to successfully take of these small wonders that never to seem stop moving.
Explored on flickr #45, thank you for your visits and comments my friends :)

and in the picture below, a man running up the jagged costal to try his luck at fishing.....
