The pond/common slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a greenish upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to orange brown or brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker.
Red-eared Sliders. Like alligators, a bird photographer in SE Texas cannot avoid turtles. Riverstone Wetlands, Sugar Land, Texas.
An image rescued from my On This Date Archives, taken on a 5F morning when the sea smoke, low tide and direct sun conspired to challenge me and the camera! Sliders to the rescue!
My Macro Mondays "In a bottle" went through iPiccy this week, just added my copyright in PhotoScape.
This is what it looked like to start with:

The other night went for a ride south of town and spotted new fox kits for the year on the side of the hill warming themselves by the sun rays.
Sliders Sunday. - HSS
Yesterday, I watched the Mystify: Michael Hutchence documentary film on Netflix. It is such a sad story of a how a superstar ended his life. I was totally overwhelmed.
It is the advise of how an accident can change things permanently. A traumatic brain injury in 1992 changed his life, changed his personal relationship, and definitely changed the destiny of INXS, one of my all time favorite bands.
On the morning of 22 November 1997, Michael Hutchence, the leader and singer of the rock band INXS was found dead in his hotel room in Sydney. His death was reported by the New South Wales Coroner to be the result of suicide by hanging. In the autopsy report they found permanent areas of brain damage on his frontal lobes.
This song was written by Hutchence and completed by his long time friend Bono, from U2.
"I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let it go
I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let you go
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you as you fall
(Just couldn't let it go)
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you if I heard your call
But you tore a hole in space
Like a dark star, falls from grace
You burn across the sky
And I would find you wings to fly
And I would catch you
I would catch your fall
I just wanna slide away and come alive again"

Wasn't sure what I was going to try for today's slide, so gave it a quick wash in PhotoScape.
Was about to give up when I got to this point and just managed to put the brakes on. I liked how it had come out.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida Sunrise. I dug around my old images looking for a good one to slide and found this one. It's from that Florida trip back in January. I added some color to the sunrise and, yes, I stuck some of my sea gulls in it as well..:) I've really gotten my monies worth out of those sea gull shots..Who knew!..:) I wanted to get the water softer than it is. I went over it twice with the skin softener brush and figured that's enough.
Phew! We have one more day of the heat wave. Monday it drops down the 95 degrees..lol..Can't wait..;)
Did this with Photoscape.

This is another very old slide. . .Taken in early 1964 by my Dad. Back then Dad would sometimes take my brother Kevin and me to a spot on Brown Road in suburban St. Louis. Brown Road ran right next to the eastern edge of the Lambert-St. Louis Airport. We, and other people, would pull off onto the shoulder of Brown Road and get a great view of the airliners on final approach to Runway 30L. The end of 30L was very close to that road, so the airliners were very low by the time they flew over on final. The guy watching this beautiful TWA Constellation is. . .you guessed it. . .Me! I was 14 years old. My brother and I would take turns standing on the sill of the open passenger side door of Dad's 1962 Chevy Impala. We wanted to get as close as we could and it was a cool view of those classic planes. This part of Brown Road is still there but has been renamed James S. McDonnell Blvd. in honor of the man who started the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, now McDonnell Douglas. In current photos I see that the farm buildings in the background are now gone, but many of the trees behind those buildings are still there. My brother and I loved "hangin' out" on Brown Road all those years ago. . .
Year: 1964
Film: Dynachrome (I'm not familiar with this film so I don't
know anything about the ASA rating)
Camera: Voigtlander Prominent (Rangefinder)
Lens: Nokton 50mm 1.5
Went to town on this one, using all three editing programs I have, but it was fun!
Maybe better viewed large, not sure.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
