A little bit less black might do as well.
Children's friend Black Pete (170 years of age now) is disputed in Holland by a tiny minuscule minority of people because of his black face, causing lots of excitements.
A bit of cloud iridescence, appears in thin clouds over Sour Lake on the Mud Volcano trail on the edge of Yellowstone National Park’s Hayden Valley. Sour Lake is a thermal lake fed by hot springs. The pastel colors in the cirrus clouds, called cloud iridescence, or irisation, appears when sunlight is diffracted through small drops of water or ice that make up the clouds. Each tiny droplet deflects the light individually. Although this iridescence may remind the observer of rainbow the two phenomena have different causes. A rainbow appears when light is refracted by moisture in the atmosphere. This refraction breaks the light down into a visible spectrum creating a rainbow.
Cloud iridescence, on the other hand, appears when the suns ray are deflected (ie; bent or distorted) as they pass through the tiny water droplets. The iridescent spots appear behind the clouds such as the cirrus clouds in this photo. Cloud iridescence tends to be short-lived but on this day it persisted for 15 minutes while I walked up the trail the Sour Lake.
……A bit of bright sunshine to brighten us up! I thought we needed it. Happy Thursday everyone, Alan:-)

Misty scene at Savernake Forest, Wiltshire
Took another trip to Savernake Forest last weekend as fog/mist was forecast. I decided I'd try a different bit of the forest from where I've been snapping the veteran oak trees. There was a bit of mist around first thing but not as much as was forecast and it seemed to disappear by about 2 hours after sunrise. I had just packed away and was walking back to the car when the sun rose above the the tree canopy and suddenly there were light beams coming through catching a bit of mist that wasn't visible until then. Couldn't pass that up so out came the gear and I snapped away for a few mins. I quite liked this one and although I did take some bracketed shots just in case this is a single exposure.
Thanks for viewing and hope you all have a great day/weekend.

A bit of rain falls from a majestic cloud at the Mogollon Rim.

A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
They like a bit of salad. Already they have eaten the Viburnum flowers. Now it is the Primroses and Primulas. Next their favourite Crocuses. Thank goodness they don't eat daffodils and Tulips ... ☺
A bit of a hike down the cliffs to the river bed but judging by the path i took i wasn't the first to make the trek. I had left my wife at the top but she wasn't there when i got back and we spent the next 35 minutes looking for each other. In fact other hikers i met were on the alert that my wife was looking for me. I thought to myself this is not going to end well.

BNSF 4043 leads the H-LAUDEN1-02A south through the soaring cliffs above the Bighorn River in jaw dropping Wind River Canyon.
A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.
I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.
Something a bit more traditional for this evening....
This big hulk of wood at Barns Ness is something I've tried to use as a foreground interest without much success up to now. I think the issue is I've always used it with the lighthouse in the shot too... so this morning with just a slit of light at sunrise I felt it was best to simplify and exclude the lighthouse. I always find Barns Ness a tricky place to photograph. I think the tide being a bit further in would have been good but hey... you make the best of the conditions you have...
after finding out quickly I had single shot set and not getting focus...It's almost like I have to learn this all over again,
Hope everyone is well.
Sometimes described as a wooden Thrup'nny bit this coin was worth 1/80 of a pound and bears some resemblance to the present pound coin having 12 sides and golden colour. I chose this for the "Redux" theme on currency.

View from a campground in southern Utah. There was a wildfire out in the distance. There ended up being quite a bit of smoke later in the evening.
Bit distant again so a fairly large crop.
Many thanks for your comments and faves. Always appreciated.
Given the Beauty of this Flower and its Visitor, clearly the Devil lost! The ancient story goes that the vernacular name of Succisella inflexa, Southern Devil's Bit (Morsus diaboli), goes back on the enmity between the Devil and Beneficial Nature. Our Scabious once in the dawn of humanity was a Heal-All, much to the dismay of the Devil who sought only anguish for humankind. Out of pure spite he bit off the main part of Scabious's root - regard its shallow rooting today - hoping the plant would die. Hence 'Devil's Bit'. Of course, Succisella didn't die but it did lose its healing powers. In compensation it remained attractive and beautiful, full of Plenty for myriad insects among which Butterflies and also this marvelous Hoverfly.
Belted Flyer. Volucella zonaria, by the standard of Hoverfly sizes, is very large; it measures about 2.5 cm (=almost an inch) compared to the 2-3 mm (.09 inch) of the smallest ones. And Zonaria's color is striking as well, very orange-yellow, mimicking a Hornet. So often it's called the Hornet Hoverfly. Entirely harmless, though; not a devil at all in her!
