I decided on this chocolate wrapper with the number nine on it as the subject.
It sits on a mirror with 2 light sources at 9 and 12 o'clock.
Back ground colours are off blue and orange plastic bags. A spray of water completes the set up.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and favs...it is always appreciated.

Cattails sway about madly as extreme winds blow in behind a late autumn cold front. I love experiencing rapid weather changes brought on by storms. There's a feeling of disarray, both in the landscape and sky, as air masses collide. Vast amounts of energy are released in the process, an abundant source of creative motivation just waiting to be tapped.
Out in this open meadow, the gusty wind was whipping everything around me into a continuous blur. Very difficult to focus the eye on any one thing when everything is in motion. Photography truly becomes more of a shoot by feel process rather than one of looking through viewfinder. As is often the case, I'm responding more to how the scene makes me feel rather than how it actually looks.
The cattails delineate an impassable boundary for me. Stems from an irrational fear of snakes. Even as a child, I equated cattails with marshes and wetlands and a high probability of harboring snakes. Even with snakes in hibernation in this freezing cold air, the tangle of overgrowth and the certainty of sinking into mud in the still soft earth was more than enough to deter me. Still I lingered on the verge; the scene almost comically bleak, the sky a dark shade or murder gray.
Close up image from one of our favourite west coast beaches. A gorgeous calm night with clouds closing in the beach. Not the prettiest lighthouse but distinct and interesting shape of the rock.

This palace, which means ‘Stone House’, contains Khiva’s most sumptuous interior decoration, dense with blue ceramic tiles, carved wooden pillars and elaborate ghanch. Built by Allakuli Khan between 1832 and 1841 as a more splendid alternative to the Kuhna Ark, it’s said to have more than 150 rooms off nine courtyards, with high ceilings designed to catch the slightest desert breeze. Allakuli was a man in a hurry – the Tosh-Hovli’s first architect was executed for failing to complete the job in two years.
Nine Stones Close, also known as the Grey Ladies, is a Bronze Age stone circle located near Youlgreave in Derbyshire. It sits within a local prehistoric landscape that includes Bronze Age barrows and settlement enclosures, and is part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages, over a period between 3300 and 900 BCE. The purpose of the monument is unknown, although archaeologists have speculated that the stones represented supernatural entities.
It is uncertain whether there were originally nine stones, one theory being that nine is a corruption of 'noon', said to be the time when, according to local folklore, fairies would gather at the site to dance.

The urban epicenter of Shanghai glows as warm and cool lights illuminate the tangle of overlapping highways.
This is a wildlife refuge over our way. What I love most is the insect population and the swans!!!!! This place has huge butterflies such as the Monarch and Swallowtail. This is just one corner of it!
Ninepipe is a prime nesting habitat for numerous bird species such as the grebe, Canada goose, bittern, Great Blue Heron and various species of ducks. (4027 acres) Nesting platforms for ospreys at one end of the lake provide added habitat for this predatory species. Mammals include muskrat, badger and porcupine live within the refuge, and grizzly bears have been known to venture out of the Mission Range mountains onto the refuge.
A nine banded armadillo out looking for a grub or two. I have always wanted to find a baby in the wild but so far they have managed to elude me and my camera. ( explore # 42 ) my thanks to everyone
On Monday afternoon, I was out in west Topeka photographing the MHNTP, when I got word that the MNPEW was headed my way with a freshly-repainted/rebuilt AC60 on the point! I didn't have time to get out to Midland for the GOOD shot, but I was able to run over to CP Z067 (Porubsky's Curve) to get this Houston-bound manifest coming around the curve.
For the Diesel Nerds out there like myself, the UP 6893 was built as a 4,400 HP "Convertible," before being rebuilt into a legit 6,000 HP AC6000CW a few years after its delivery. Eventually, these went back to 4,400 HP engines when the more powerful ones proved to be problematic. In April 2023, it was rebuilt again by GE into a C44ACM, giving it the appearance you see here.

Wikipedia: HSB Turning Torso is a Deconstructivist skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait.[1] It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia,[The tower's design is based on a sculpture by Calatrava called Twisting Torso. It uses nine segments of five-story pentagons that twist as it rises; the topmost segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor. Each floor consists of an irregular pentagonal shape rotating around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior steel framework. The two bottom segments are intended as office space. Segments three to nine house 147 luxury apartments.
The building is not for public access. I couldn't get into the building, so I took a lot of photos outside. It is surrounded by a posh neighborhood. The whole area is kinda of architects' playground.

There were either eight or nine of these babies! (poor mon) Some were bold and curious while others were shy and stealth. The difference clearly shows in this shot. I love that they are getting their full coloring now including the while tip on the tail.
