These scales are pigmented with melanins that give them blacks and browns, but blues, greens, reds and iridescence are usually created not by pigments but the microstructure of the scales.
My kitchen scales didn't work so I thought they needed new batteries. The label says "Child Resistant Package" and it certainly is. With kitchen scissors and my pocket knife, I managed to get the batteries out … and the scales work now 😀

The Bay of Fundy is home to vast stretches of mud, where constant tidal activity erodes the soft red sandstone, turning the water murky and leaving layers of sediment behind. On my first outing to the old wharf in Windsor along the St. Croix River (fed by the Bay of Fundy), the tide was out, exposing the inlet's muddy banks. While I was hoping for higher tides (and would return for that) the lower tide revealed intricate textures in the mud that were perfect for photography.
An image I’ve been wanting to add to my portfolio is one of cracked mud. While this mud was far from dry, it offered a similar opportunity with its intricate patterns and winding lines. The challenge was finding a balanced composition, and I believe I managed to capture one here.
The patterns reminded me of reptilian scales, which inspired the title "Scaled Mud." Do you see it too, or am I just imagining things? Let me know what you think!
A video taken on my HO Scale layout. All but one of the buildings in the center of the layout are from a layout I had as a child 40 years ago; most are Plasticville and Atlas structures. The rolling stock is a mixture of Tyco and Athern equipment from the original layout, Life Like equipment for two train sets that were given to me, and Bachmann. The trackwork is Life-Like EZ Track.
Since it is a throwback to my youth as well as for the kids and grandkids, it is all DC and horn hook couplers for ease of use. The feel is also a throwback to the small towns I remember growing up; with lots of "easter eggs" from moments and places in my life.
The song is In a Child's Eyes by John Tesh.

The shadows are from the giant rooflight that the Architect, Sir Norman Foster, designed to enclose the old courtyard.
I bought some new models for my n scale city. They don't make this kit any longer so I'm really thankful I bought it when I did. :D

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Update on my N scale City of Port Carbon. Added the streets and some more buildings. The Dingaling brewery had some storage added along the siding. Four silos and what may be an Intercontinental ballistic missile.
All the white space showing tells me that I need to make a bunch of buildings to fill it in!
