People like ants. Makes you realize how small we really are.
The southern span (I call it the Seagull) rises 112 feet above ground level. That span is also the second-largest arch in the park, at 144 feet across.

I wasn’t sure whether this pair were frogs or toads. Having had a quick look around various web sites I’ve decided, maybe wrongly, that they are frogs. The female common frog grows to around 13cm in length, whilst the male is smaller reaching only about 9cm. The common frog also has a distinctive brown patch by the side of each eye.
Frogs have smooth, moist skin which is not slimy, and come in shades of green, yellow, olive and brown. They have special glands to keep the skin moist and supple, this helps them to breathe through their skin, as well as their lungs so that they can stay underwater for a long time.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Double rainbow anyone? First time I got to use my new lens with a CPL filter to get a brighter rainbow, not that I really needed it, this one was happy to hang around right through to the sun set!

The double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds. Its habitat is near rivers and lakes as well as in coastal areas, and is widely distributed across North America, from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska down to Florida and Mexico.
Measuring 70–90 cm (28–35 in) in length, it is an all-black bird which gains a small double crest of black and white feathers in breeding season. It has a bare patch of orange-yellow facial skin. Five subspecies are recognized. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving.
Its feathers, like those of all cormorants, are not waterproof and it must spend time drying them out after spending time in the water. Once threatened by the use of DDT, the numbers of this bird have increased markedly in recent years.

Who hasn't had days where you need a little rainbow in your life?
This image was taken on our recent White Pocket Monsoon adventure when I was there as a camp-support personnel. We were treated to an insane sunset the night before... we didn't think it could be topped. The next morning, we woke up to a sky full of clouds. As isolated rain showers developed, a gap opened on the eastern horizon and the rising sun created this dramatic double rainbow! Of the numerous mornings I have spent at White Pocket, this will go down in the books as THE best!

This double rainbow almost cost me $279.00 for a speeding ticket because I was paying attention to the rainbow and not my driving. Always nice to meet Oklahoma's finest.

Well why not? My last photo in this corset is comfortably the most popular photo I've ever posted. We shall find out if you can have too much of a good thing with this Thursday double feature.
Spring oak leaves overlap with apple blisters. They are so called: "galls". Some strange, thick beaks and growth on the leaves of the trees. They arise as a result of: mites, nematodes, and especially insects. In the fall, the galas formed on the leaves fall along with them, and in the winter they breed first generation females, which lay eggs in the sleeping buds of plants. All these creations are most commonly found on leaves, but they can grow almost anywhere in the plant - on roots, shoots and even flower petals. These are incubators that ensure the safe development of the offspring of the organisms that attack the plant.

Stenciled numbers on a weathered wall next to a roll-up door.
Weathered, decaying subjects and subjects with strong patterns attract me, and this one works on both counts. I photographed it a few years ago while wandering around in San Francisco and poking my camera into odd little corners and alleys. This is in a shoreline area that was once a location of true maritime industry, but which is today much like the rest of San Francisco — in other words a place for small offices, start-ups, restaurants and similar enterprises.
The stenciled numbers did catch my attention when I first saw this little scene. Initially I think that their weathered character may have been responsible. But more recently I have wondered about them. Do they still mean something or are they now remnants divorced from an earlier context? Is the message “5” or is it “55?” And what, if anything, is the relationship between the two different fonts used?

I had not planned to shoot Double Arch when at Arches National Park last week. All the shots that I'd seen posted just didn't do a whole lot for me... and it's facing the wrong way for the Milky Way... and all the [damn] workshops go there... so while it is incredibly easy to get to and close to other sites you might be at, it was never on my list.
Fast forward to actually being there, and playing around with the Milky Way through North Window, and even though I was tired and wanted to catch a little sleep, I said to myself, "Self, you're right here... you might as well walk out there and take a look."
So I did. And the site is actually a lot of fun once you're there. So here's my night Double Arch shot, which I kind of like despite everything that I wrote above! And which was fun to take.
It's also a self portrait.

Don’t you just love roads like this ? A double rainbow and summer rain storm on the road next to our camp in a remote upper stretch of the North Thomson River. I drove around these forestry roads for three days without seeing another person or vehicle. Nice to feel outnumbered by the bears ;-) . This is the same location that I took the shot of the ridge next to the Metis Peak massifs (nine shots ago in my feed). British Columbia, Canada
