This young Elephant was having a great time in the waterhole. She was blowing air down her trunk creating bubbles to bring the mud to the surface. She then got a trunk full and sprayed it all over, this helps to cool her down and acts a sunblock from the midday heat.
Mon Bridge in Sangkhlaburi
Sangkhlaburi's iconic, 447m-long wooden bridge, the largest in Thailand, connects the main town, home mostly to Thai and Karen, with the Mon settlement. This village (officially it's Ban Wang Ka, but even residents just call it Ban Mon: 'Mon Village') is a striking place to explore, peopled by cheroot-smoking women, sarong-wearing men and faces covered in thanaka (a yellow paste made from tree bark, used both as sunblock and decoration).
At the Mon end of the bridge is a souvenir market selling Karen shirts and dresses among other things. Follow the street uphill from the bridge and turn left on the main road to visit the Mon market, which is refreshingly free of souvenirs.
Giving morning alms to monks (at 6.30am) is a big event on the Mon side of the bridge. Tourists (mostly from Bangkok) donate from fancy trays alongside locals who stick to the Mon tradition of giving just a scoop of rice. During Buddhist festivals alms are offered on the bridge.

A beautiful sunny winter day and my first time visiting Foster Beach. The ice formations were amazing! I have more photos to sort from both cameras, but here are some quick ones from the iPhone for instant gratification.
I think I got sunburned - I didn't even think of it ahead of time but of course I should have put sunblock on my face
View LARGE on black and bask in the sun but don't forget your sunblock, lol.
Still one of the old photos that I think I have forgotten to upload;

I was going to hold off on posting this, there are so many shots this special bouquet of flowers has given me, and such bright colors... But vanity (the devil's most pleasurable sin) got the best of me, and I wanted to show it off...
This one might just get framed, and hang on the wall at the new house when it is finished.
I held this one up to the sun, blocking the light from the lens. I do like the effect.

I never did a "whats in you bag shot" before. This is a clean version of whats in my bag at the moment. If i showed you what it looks like during school, you would see interesting things :p

Lena is enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. No work today except working on her suntan. (Not really, she is so fair. She wears lots of sunblock).

I'm so happy Fall is finally here some nicer cool weather is just what I need. This summer was totally lame for me not that we didn't go anywhere but I got no tan! I wore zero sunblock the few times we went to the beach and even when we went to Catalina Islands for 4 days. I mean seriously what is wrong with my skin it's sun proof I tell ya! lol
It's all good though I seriously can not wait to start breaking out the warmer jackets and winter clothes. And before we know it the Holidays will be here *sigh* I love the Holidays.
I'm cheating this week ... I took this two weeks ago but I'm counting it as my Bam for last week been way too busy so "ta-da!".
Happy Big Cushy Grass Tuesday! :)

It was first discovered by Charles Messier in 1764.
It's believed that there are over 500,000 stars within this cluster!
That's over half a million Sun's packed together! Can you imagine living on a planet orbiting one of them? You'd need some serious sunblock!
May is the best time of year for observing this jewel of the night which lies some 34,000 light years away from us.

The rear wings were a real pain, hell the whole ship was an angular adventure, but last year I went all square sunblock but.this year a more.free build with plenty space coolest all round

It is now full summer here in Australia, so Safety (this week's Macro Mondays challenge) takes the form of swimming goggles for eye protection and some powerful sunblock.

It’s a sad measure of the burden of failure in my life that no one has yet described me as ‘handsome’ uncoerced. You’d think I would have had some chance, at least, since I was born light blonde, blue-eyed and pleasantly freckled…
It was not to be. And my hope is waning… Well. Completely dead, actually.
The best I have managed so far for a description is ‘lovely man’. This has happened in so many independent contexts now that I tend to burst out laughing if someone says it (much to their perplexity!).
Can you imagine, though, how galling this would-be accolade is to someone who has striven all their life to be a hysteria-inducing, testosterone-filled, rippling hunk of seductive (to women) allure?
No. Believe me. You can’t.
I mean, ‘lovely man’ is not quite the same thing is it really? Not by a long shot. Well, let’s be frank, not even by a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile...
But I suppose it could be worse…
Maybe… perhaps :(
At least I am sure now that my Maker has a well-developed sense of ironic humour... as if I didn’t know that anyway!
But I digress and drag you through the despondent slough of my self-pity.
The point of the preamble, of course, is that fair-complexioned people are genetically adapted to live in the higher latitudes, where their skin needs to produce sufficient Vitamin D in the meagre sun.
I live at latitude 51.683638 North. In North American terms that’s a latitude north of Calgary, about the bottom of Hudson Bay. In the southern hemisphere that would be equivalent to about halfway between Australia’s southern coast and Antarctica.
Here in winter a decent candle is brighter than the sun most of the day, or so it seems.
Vitamin D is vital to maintaining bones and calcium levels in the body. It’s one of the vitamins that is only soluble in oil and it’s not stored, so we rely on our skins to make it. The lack of pigmentation in the skin maximises the manufacture in weak sunlight.
Or these days in winter we take supplements.
And in summer we use sunblock :)
So now you know, if you didn’t before, why a lot of Scandinavians are blonde. But it fails miserably, of course, to explain why I was born in the tropics...
This is a picture of Vitamin D capsules in an antique liqueur glass for the Macro Mondays theme “Contained”. I’d often thought the capsules made interesting shapes and light lenses so I wanted give the idea a try.
The bowl of the glass is 50,800 microns wide, so we are within the group’s limits ;) Yey!
PS I have just returned from over three weeks of famliness which, although fun, has meant that I am way behind on everyone’s photostreams. I doubt that I shall be able to do them justice but I hope, at least, to make a few comments here and there.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)
[Tripod mount; delayed shutter; manual focus; LED pencil torch lighting from above and behind; black card behind.
Developed in Capture One using levels to take out the background and adjusting the colour to get rid of a green cast and warm it up a bit.
Into Affinity for a bit of retouching.
Sharpened with High Pass/Linear blend.
Added a glow using a Lens Blur filter in Lighten blend mode with reduced opacity to balance the effect. I know this takes off the sharpness but I wanted a bit of fun and I was tired of the everything-must-be-pin-sharp yoke.
Extended the canvas to change the composition a bit, adding more black background; levelled it too as the tripod can’t have been level with the table.]
