Thin Blue Line

The thin clear line on the horizon made for a wonderful little spell of colourful sunset scenes as the sun briefly slid below the cloud.

Happy Nice Wonderful Cloud Tuesday!
A Great Blue Heron, blending ungainliness and grace, breaks the ice on touchdown and at once imagines flight. We, wingless, wouldn’t conceive of this solution.

Cirrus clouds with contrails at sunset
For our weather serie
Cirrus is an atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands, giving the type its name from the Latin word cirrus meaning a ringlet or curling lock of hair.
It forms when water vapor undergoes deposition at altitudes above 5,000 m (16,500 ft) in temperate regions and above 6,100 m (20,000 ft) in tropical regions.
Cirrus cloud ranges in thickness from 100 m (330 ft) to 8,000 m (26,000 ft)
Contrails are a manmade type of cirrus cloud formed when water vapor from the exhaust of a jet engine condenses on particles, which come from either the surrounding air or the exhaust itself, and freezes, leaving behind a visible trail. The exhaust can also trigger the formation of cirrus by providing ice nuclei when there is an insufficient naturally-occurring supply in the atmosphere.

I was cutting wild branches when I noticed the shy neighbor cat watching me. I even managed to arouse his curiosity and let it chase a thin branch, which I moved. But as a first it posed for the camera.

Here's the immane East Face of Monte Rosa, embraced by a thin blanket of clouds.
East Face is the highest alpine peak by prominence, and the only himalayan wall in the entire Alps.
This side consists of a 2,400-metre-high (7,900 ft) wall overlooking Macugnaga, whose snows feed the Belvedere Glacier at its base.

Lately I've been preoccupied with life issues which have pulled me away from my creative side. Always amazes me just how quickly and fully reality rushes in to fill the vacuum left when creative pursuits are sidelined. It sometimes requires a very determined pushback to regain the balance of power. Tilting the playing field of my life away from the creative aspect to me is akin to sliding onto the thin ice part of the proverbial pond. Photography for me is not just a hobby but part of a lifestyle. It's one that sees me out exploring my world and separating myself, however briefly, from both convention and conventional thought. It's how I make sense of everything else. It's a very delicate balance. For now I'm just trying to avoid plunging into the black water that lies just below that veneer of ice.
Tread lightly.
Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone. I'm not a fan of tourist hotspots, but I would definitely hit this place.
Terrific Thursday to you my friend.
