Female. She appeared so close... I had no time to shrink the lens. I only got two shots before she flew away.
Mývatn Lake, North Iceland
Pelicans, Cormorants and a few others on the crowded sand bar in the Fiorenza reservoir, probably shrinking due to the recent rains. Houston, Texas.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️❤️
The sun climbs fast in this part of the world at this time of year. By this time, the sun is already fairly high, clearing the mountains to the east...so not much dawn remains!
According to the micrometer, the penny is not shrinking, it still measures 750/1000 inches or 3/4 of an inch.
This is a focus stack image created using 11 separate images and then stacked using AFFINITY Photo Software. It did all the work, I just pressed the shutter.
Great and Snowy Egrets take advantage of the dead fish at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware, USA. The pond shrunk due to a prolonged drought, so the water loses its oxygen, and the fish suffocate. This is good for the birds, as it gives them a bonanza to feed on.

Linear and inexorable, the shelf of ice grows from the banks of the Bow River to encroach upon a family of ducks.
Even the most vivid memories fade with age.
Memories fade with age:
Due to normal brain changes like shrinking, reduced white matter (disrupting brain cell communication), and declining neurogenesis (new brain cell growth) in areas like the hippocampus, alongside less blood flow and fewer protective hormones/proteins, affecting memory storage and retrieval. It's a natural process, like a muscle weakening, where less-used connections falter, making recall slower.
Memories change:
Because they are dynamic and reconstructed, not perfect recordings; each time you recall a memory, it can be updated with new information, emotions, or suggestions, similar to the game of whispers, leading to distortions, added false details, or fading details to keep them relevant, useful, and less cluttered for the present. This process, called reconsolidation, allows the brain to adapt memories for future use, even if it sacrifices perfect accuracy, - - - - sad but you can't really trust your memory.
Took this photo as the sun's rays were fading quickly into the night skies. Taken from Prout's Island in Lake Sesekinika in Sesekinika Grenfell Township Northeastern Ontario Canada

The shorelines of PEI are eroding faster due to effects of climate change. Weather events like storm surges and rising sea levels are causing many structures to be at risk. These causes hit the island hard because the coastline is made up mainly of sandstone and sand which does not stand up to the increased weathering. There used to be more ice in the winter which would act as a buffer from some of the erosion but there hasn’t been much ice in recent winters. Experts say the province loses about 28 cm of land every year. In some spots the shore breaks off in large chunks. One of the vulnerable structures on the island are the lighthouses. This lighthouse at Seacow Head was already moved back from the bank in 1979. Other structures that are at risk are the wind turbines and of course, many homes.
A beautiful sunset among the mountains of southeast Alaska. Yet the trace of glacier is frustrating, from glacier to waterfall to stream. It is unfortunate to see glacier keep shrinking over the years.
This is one of four young Baltimore Orioles, presumably siblings, who spent several weeks this summer visiting my yard daily. I think they must have come from a nest nearby. The four of them stuck together pretty closely throughout that time and didn't take a back seat to anyone, although they kept a close eye on the bees and wasps buzzing around the flowers. Flowers of Cup Plant in the distance provide background colour.
Similar patterns are to be found in the mud of drying puddles or in cooling basaltic magma (forming polygonal columns)....
This plant is growing in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to macro and raw.
Hills composed of multicolored bentonite clays in Capitol Reef National Park- The rough texture of the surface is due to the shrinking and swelling of the clays from wetting and drying cycles. This and the chemistry of the soils makes them a difficult medium for plant growth, contributing to the barren look. Driving through this area after it rains is difficult due to the slick and sticky nature of the soil. In the distance Factory and Caineville Buttes stick up on the horizon.
A long eastbound train of doublestacked marine containers coasts through the curves approaching West Pica, descending the grade from Yampai Summit, Arizona. Soon the hogger will ease off the dynamic brakes, and let gravity and the 1.42% descending grade accelerate his train back to track speed down the eleven mile straightaway towards Seligman. The evening sun found its way through the hazy clouds to cast some neat side lighting on the train.
The inhabitant of the RV up on the hill in the background has one of the best views around, and will be able to watch trains sweep through the high speed curve at the base of the Yampai plateau all night.
The lead unit is BNSF 615, one of twenty ex-Santa Fe DC traction C44-9W units rebuilt and converted to AC traction motors with A1A configured axles. The pilot program has not yielded any further interest at BNSF to rebuild their large, yet shrinking fleet of Dash 9s.

I'm disappointed to have taken so long (a week is almost an eternity in the world of social media) to make my first post from last Tuesday's total lunar eclipse. A combination of the busyness that comes with being self-employed; some health problems; and a list of around-the-house jobs that needed attending to all kept me from editing and posting any photos until now.
In hindsight, I could have stayed at home in Sydney to photograph the eclipse from my balcony since the clouds where I'd driven to–Seven Mile Beach, Gerroa–thwarted my plan to capture shots of the eclipsed Moon peeking over the horizon. I set my camera's intervalometer to grab sequential shots of the Moon at five-minute intervals. You can see how the eclipse progressed to totality as the Moon climbed the northeastern sky.
I used my Canon EOS R camera fitted with a Canon 50 mm f/1.8 lens to shoot the photos that make up this composite image, employing a range of shutter speed and aperture settings.
For Macromondays' "Crack Theme." This is a small section of a vase I turned out of very green wood just to see what would happen. It shrank and twisted quite a bit. The area shown is about a 1 1/4" square.
A macro shot of my favorite piece of trash, with adjustments in gimp, including iWarp shrink.
It's a hot day. There's no hurry to go outside.
Happy Sliders Snday!

In this shot you can see how low the marsh has gotten this summer. That little patch of land the seagulls are using is usually under water.
