Sunset last evening at Tivoli Bay, scattered rain had passed through the are shortly prior to "scattering sky"
I've been away for quite some time and visiting Flickr has become a rare thing lately.
I'm just so busy really. Still creating. Still learning. Still being.
It's a good thing that, every now and then, when I take a trip into this world, the joys are endless and the inspiration is all around.
;)
Yet another addition to the dictionary, this is so addictive :-)

Hope you all have a great weekend.
Baitfish jump in all directions as Brown Pelican hits the surface of Armand Bayou and scoops up a pouch full of their schoolmates.
I went to Cosmo last month to get a Wand, and aside from the sim having a stupidly large step outside, the lamps were just begging for a picture!
jubilee class 4-6-0s 45596 bahamas and 45690 leander scatter the resident pigeons crossing the river weaver at frodsham with the great britain xiv express--it was good to once again meet fellow flickr photographer dave hunt today
A flock of seabirds scatters along the South San Francisco Bay shoreline on beautiful spring evening. This area is actually a bird preserve where a plethora of seabirds breed on a an annual basis.

Another shot from Govetts Leap for sunrise which was only 5 minutes from the hotel. The previous shot was at 120mm so easy to compare the difference of a 10x zoom ;-)
The sun rays came out nicely at f/16.
The trees in left foreground lit up nicely in the early morning sunlight!
Victor and I were hoping for the sky to go crazy with the high level cloud but there must have been too much cloud on the horizon unfortunately. Still a great a sunrise though.
Govetts Leap lookout is right at the carpark so no hiking required.
Why are the Blue Mountains blue? Wikipedia tells us
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Mountains_(New_South_Wales)
....the tinge is believed to be caused by mie scattering which occurs when incoming ultraviolet radiation is scattered by particles within the atmosphere creating a blue-greyish colour to any distant objects, including mountains and clouds. Volatile terpenoids emitted in large quantities by the abundant eucalyptus trees in the Blue Mountains may cause mie scattering and thus the blue haze for which the mountains were named...
or that we really don't know but the blue can be easily seen at 120mm.
The flock of pigeons scatter as a pair of GP40-2s lead local train L012 westbound over the diamonds crossing the New England Central Railroad (ex CV) main at CP83 on CSXT's Boston Sub (ex Boston and Albany) mainline.
The West Springfield based local is pulling off the controlled siding after making their set off and pick up in the small but busy yard just to the east. Standing guard at the junction as it has for 140 years is the 1883 built H.H. Richardson designed Union Station.

I like the pattern formed by their tail feathers and wings as they take off in a group. You can imagine the frenzied honking, flapping and splashing that accompanies their escape.
One of the great things about fall, besides the colours, is the chance for trains to show their true speed by scattering fallen leaves. 255 doing about 60 here does the job nicely. GM SD30ECO leads.
A tiny Swarovski cube bead. They used to ba called 'brilliants', and I collected a few. This one has a hole for the thread to pass through, and at just under 1cm it is quite amazingly complex 😊
For the Macro Monday challenge "Tiny"
HMM!! 😊
It's a long time since I last shot these beads, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, while finding it amazingly difficult to handle the light and tight focus. I shot against a black background and on a sheet of glass to capture the reflections, which can give quite different shapes and colours!

On March 14, 2025, the Moon plunged completely into Earth’s umbra, creating a total lunar eclipse. This phenomenon, known as a "Blood Moon," occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align perfectly, casting our planet’s shadow onto the lunar surface.
The reddish hue arises from Rayleigh scattering: Earth’s atmosphere filters sunlight, absorbing blue wavelengths and bending red ones toward the Moon. The effect mirrors the colors of a sunset but magnified on a planetary scale.
