Being the Spring equinox (well here in the Southern Hemisphere anyway) I thought some florally pastely whimsy might be appropriate. Hit 30C today, yay! Time to start swimming on the beaches instead of just photographing them.
Fun fact about the equinox. As you know it marks the tipping point from days being shorter than nights, to days becoming longer than nights. BUT .., days and nights are equal in length (each 12 h) for the southern hemisphere two or three days before the technical spring equinox and most of Australia sees about 12 h 8 min. of daylight on the spring equinox itself. This is because our atmosphere refracts sunlight so that we can see the Sun just before it's risen in line with the horizon and just after it's passed below the level of the horizon at sunset. Seeing the sun before it rises! Science amazes , and confuses me!
Happy equinox wherever you are in this fascinating world of ours :)
I had some fun with water drops today. Back with the (big) daisies in the garden and armed with a glass of water that I'd added some sugar to (which helps the droplet 'stick') --- I played forever trying to get a drop in the right place, and then to position the camera. And then the breeze picked up, aargh! So this was the best image from my first attempt. I'm encouraged to try again, maybe on some indoor flowers next time (no breeze)!

Got to this one a bit late and only had a few shots at it before the sun went out (down).
I'll get a better one next time - maybe with some garden details.
'Sun and Refraction' On Black is so much better.

happy tuesday for every one of you.
thanks for your faves, comments,invites and awards.
In the Valley of the Ten Peaks, the gorgeous turquoise waters of Moraine Lake display their incredible blue hues from the refraction of light on rock flour; silt that has eroded from the nearby glaciers.
This is a combination of a crystal glass bowl full of colourful glass beads illuminated from below. A glass containing water and cooking oil was placed on top of the glass beads with the camera lens positioned inside the glass to take a 1:1 macro shot.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!
There seems to be some wish to see it the other way up. Personally I don't really think it works. The point is that it is a refraction and so upside down, and one gets away with imperfections. This one is definitely not perfect enough.

I grow these flowering plants, so much fun to have outside in the summer months! Reminds me of the tropical Islands!
I have seen so many fantastic refraction shots here on flickr I though I would give it a try, took so many shots from different angles and to be honest I failed miserably, but after all the time i put into trying to get a Refraction shot thought I would post the best of the bad batch LOL
Sorry posting and running, will be back to catch up on your streams this evening
better on B l a c k M a g i c
Some benefits of cold weather... I really liked the fact that the angle of this shot allowed for refraction of both the light background and the blue sky above.
A steady stream of orange juice poured from the carton creates a satisfying swirl as it fills the glass.
