Perfect colors on a perfect morning! I guess tomorrow not this kind of reflection in the water with a storm coming up. 😅
This little cream pitcher is at Mom's house. I am not sure where it came from but I suspect it was once my paternal great grandmother's. The little handle is SO amazing, I thought it was perfect for the challenge!
Oops! I missed the deadline . . . we are central standard time zone! Well, anyway! For Smile on Saturday! - handle
An exquisite seed pod of a cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana).
Found 4 of them hiding in the grass and was rather stoked as I'd assumed the birds had eaten them. Even though the pods were skeletonising, the fruit inside was absolutely delicious.
This shot is the result of the craziest timeluck I ever had while taking photos.
I said to my friend: "Damn, have a look, that frame is perfect. Now I want a red train to drive across the bridge!"
And just as I finished the sentence the train arrived 😅🚂
Managed to find two blueberries with almost identical star-shapes on them. Taken for Macro Mondays 'Perfect Match' theme.
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace through out the land
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
It takes time to reach the perfect shade and formulations. That's something that's in the science.

I shot this through my dining room window! It acts like a bird blind, so the animals do not notice you as much!
A break from Astro. I saw that fellow mad tog (Geoff Moore) posted a shot recently from this trip out. It reminded me of how good a morning it had been. One of those trips where you return with so many images, that under normal circumstances, you would process. Many have been hidden on my hard drive as I processed only the most obvious ones before moving on to the next adventure, this is one of the images left hidden on the hard drive
A honeycomb cell measures approximately 5mm wide and is constructed from beeswax exuded from a gland on the honeybee’s abdomen. The cell will be used repeatedly either to store honey or raise brood. Brood cells are cleaned and polished with propolis as each new bee emerges, slowly darkening them over one or more seasons. Cells are offset and you can see the structure of the opposite cell when you look through the comb.
I think Im going to leave this and jump on to another project before she ends up looking more and more like Elvira!

The train just emerged from the Moffat Tunnel, and is running right on time for its journey back to Denver.

. . . I was very lucky to see this female Snowy Owl today, as others had just chased her from off her spot on the ground and she flew almost directly over to where I was about a half a mile away.
I had her all to myself for about half an hour, and then the other cars found us and tried to crowd her again. I am begging others to PLEASE not chase these birds around going for the close up shot!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
