For "Smile on Saturdays" and this week's theme: "Tasty Texture."
The texture of a torn hamburger bun. Mighty tasty, too!
early tonight we had a burst of rain. i looked at our street: pools of water and light. so i grabbed my camera as mark jokingly said, “hey, don’t play in the street!” i walked a few blocks, thunder growing, rain increasing. i know that squatting in the middle of traffic during a rain-soaked, thunderstorm night is not wise, but it does provide interesting bokeh and mood. (note: i never put myself or others in danger, though i did get some strange looks.)
when i took this photograph, the rain was pouring and my camera was wet—as evident from the splattered-lens bokeh. i ran home, happy and giddy, lightning in the sky, thunder in my ears. ps: if you’re careful, it’s okay to play in the street, especially when it’s raining.

I took this shot in September of 23. While the whole scene was beautiful I was particularly by the clothesline that ran from the house to the silo and back. We saw several such clotheslines during our trip to the Ohio Amish country. Placement on the map is just a guess as we were lost at the time and couldn’t get a signal on our phones.
I processed this in Photoshop using several textures including Lenabem-Anna J’s Texture 334.

Hares at Play
John Clare
The birds are gone to bed, the cows are still,
And sheep lie panting on each old mole-hill;
And underneath the willow’s gray-green bough,
Like toil a-resting, lies the fallow plough.
The timid hares throw daylight fears away
On the lane’s road to dust and dance and play,
Then dabble in the grain by naught deterred
To lick the dew-fall from the barley’s beard;
Then out they sturt again and round the hill
Like happy thoughts dance, squat, and loiter still,
Till milking maidens in the early morn
Jingle their yokes and sturt them in the corn;
Through well-known beaten paths each nimbling hare
Sturts quick as fear, and seeks its hidden lair.
I've been playing with flower pictures lately. After taking an online course with Kathleen Clemons, I am inspired!!!
from nisargadatta maharaj: “wisdom tells me i am nothing. love tells me i am everything. between the two my life flows.”
They're fiddly little monkeys but I can't resist pomegranates! Have you tried sprinkling on top of salads? Delish!!!
Caliche, a type of sedimentary rock, forms when calcium carbonate precipitates in the soil, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This formation process begins as rainwater infiltrates the soil, dissolving carbonate minerals present. As the water evaporates, these minerals precipitate, cementing particles such as sand, clay, and gravel to create a hard, durable layer.
In Ajuy, particularly near the Hornos de Cal, caliche is significantly prominent. These formations result from the interplay of local climatic and geological conditions. Despite its hardness, caliche is prone to erosion. Elements like wind, water, and human activity wear down these layers, forming unique patterns and textures and sometimes exposing softer soil underneath.
The caliche in Ajuy ranges in color from white to light brown, contrasting sharply with the dark basaltic rocks and black sands of the nearby beaches. These layers can also create microhabitats, providing shelter to small organisms and aiding in soil moisture retention, crucial in Fuerteventura's arid environment.
Erosion of the caliche near the path to the Cuevas de Ajuy, especially around the Hornos de Cal area, is a continuous process that enhances the unique landscape and reveals the area's rich geological history.

El caliche es una roca sedimentaria que se forma por la precipitación de carbonato de calcio en el suelo, especialmente en regiones áridas y semiáridas. Este proceso comienza cuando el agua de lluvia se infiltra en el suelo y disuelve los minerales carbonatados presentes. A medida que el agua se evapora, los minerales se precipitan y cementan partículas como arena, arcilla y grava, creando una capa dura y resistente.
En Ajuy, cerca de los Hornos de Cal, el caliche se presenta de manera notable. Estas formaciones son resultado de la combinación de las condiciones climáticas y geológicas locales. A pesar de ser una roca dura, el caliche es susceptible a la erosión. Los agentes erosivos como el viento, el agua y la acción humana desgastan estas formaciones, creando patrones y texturas únicos y, en algunos casos, exponiendo secciones del suelo más blando.
El caliche en Ajuy varía en color desde el blanco al marrón claro, contrastando con las rocas basálticas oscuras y la arena negra de las playas cercanas. Estas capas de caliche también pueden servir como microhábitats, proporcionando refugio a pequeños organismos y ayudando a retener la humedad en el suelo, lo cual es crucial en el entorno árido de Fuerteventura.
La erosión del caliche cerca del sendero a las Cuevas de Ajuy, particularmente en la zona de los Hornos de Cal, es un proceso continuo que añade al paisaje su carácter único y revela la rica historia geológica de la región.

Una rosa particolare ripresa di profilo, e quindi poi l'ho vista adatta per una texture ... sembra acqua, come se la rosa fosse nell'acqua.

A particular rose with a point of view of its profile, and so then I saw it suitable for a texture ... it seems water, as if the rose could be in water.
