This panorama is looking north toward the painted desert within Petrified Forest National Park. It's at the southern border of the 1932 addition to the originally designated National Park. It is simply amazing to see such geologic formations. To many it is hard to believe that this park rests over a mile in elevation above sea level.
Brian the snail really loves a bit of DIY - but no nasty solvents for him! Although it is a struggle and takes much longer, he prefers to peel off the old paint by hard work!
For Macro Mondays theme 'Peel'. The snail's shell is about 1.2 cm long, so the image spans around 6.9 cm.
Several very large old metal storage containers have been placed at the end of the road to the new pier in my village. They have been painted numerous times over the years, in all sorts of colours, as is evident from the peeling of the many layers of paint. I had to take Brian on a 'field trip' to photograph him peeling back paint layers - I think he quite enjoyed the outing.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
A Painted Lady Butterfly sipping nectar from our Zinnia flower. I could not find any Zinnia flowers out our local nurseries, so I planted seeds. The flowers are blooming and gorgeous. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
This week's Big Excitement for me ! My first excursion with my newly delivered camera took me to our nearest field and it was being harvested. A combine harvester - Oh JOY ! You can see the dust it's kicking up over there on the right near the trees. The driver saw me taking photos and kindly drove down the field again and right past me, smiled and gave me a 'thumbs up'. Isn't it wonderful when people are so kind? Made my day ! (That may be my next upload).
The clouds were beautiful and I loved the lines the newly cut stubble made, so I painted this scene in Topaz Impression 2. I do hope you like it !
As always, thank you so much for your comments, faves or for just looking. Happy weekend to you all ... I hope you find similar kindness and friendliness in everyone you meet.
YOUR kindness has meant this image reached Explore number 79 on 13 August 2016 - thank you all so very much !
I just thought I'd upload one last picture of this fading Painted Lady to make it a hattrick to finish off this series. She's still Beautiful in my eyes and I'm pleased to have captured her...
Rare in our part of New York but there's a relic Adirondack ecosystem in the Dorothy McIlroy Bird Sanctuary near Lake Como, NY.

A strong westerly wind was blowing over Langstone Harbour, Hampshire yesterday evening at sunset so no reflection around so decided to have a go at some long exposures over the old rotten posts which are the remains of the old Billy Line Station.
Quite like the effect in the sky from the long exposure which looks like it's been painted(badly)!
150 second exposure using a Lee "Big Stopper" 10 stop ND filter + a 0.9 ND grad over the sky.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
I haven't seen a Painted skimmer in a few weeks. These are often our first skimmers on the wing as early as March & can fly into July.
Our rain is supposed to wrap up but we have an Evil East Wind with clouds today - and it rained again last night. Next 3 days are supposed to be sunny & nice ...

Painted Lady Butterfly (Vanessa cardui). My first of the year. Clearly been in the wars a bit with missing antenna and tattered wings.
Been trying my hand at some ICM (intentional camera movement).
(You could say the 'slide' was in-camera ;))
I really liked this view and how it framed up with the polarizing filter bringing out the varied colors in the land under the blue sky and pretty white clouds.
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars
And they're all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
I've seen people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens everyday
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
Maybe then, I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah
The Painted Hills cover an area of 20 kilometres by 10 kilometres. Geologist Marg Sprigg says these richly coloured natural sculptures have formed over millions of years. The land was originally flat then lifted up by tectonic movement, and rivers have cut through the tabletop forms, leaving the hills.
The water from the rivers also dissolved minerals, such as iron and manganese, which have oxidised into the stunning reds, yellows and whites that can be seen today.
