theme Drips, Drops and Splashes.
By the time I took this shot near Tomahawk Point the wind was really starting to increase in speed. As you'll see here, the trawler has dropped anchor to keep from drifting towards the shoreline and dangerous rocks. The sky from this angle was bereft of clouds and is already taking on an interesting complexion - a combination of the salt air and the sand being whipped up in the foreground. But as far as the composition was concerned, that sky provides some interesting negative space to balance the trawler. Too much water here would have been, well, too much.
P.S. Those dark smudges in the air behind the boat are not spots on my sensor, but sea birds.
For the Macro Mondays them of "Citrus" and not having a definite idea of what I would do until the Monday morning I decided to cut a Lemon in half which I would hollow out and fill with water. I had thought about dropping a Lemon or Lime segment into a small shot glass but shortly before setting up I had the idea of using the Lemon this way.
Next I chopped a Lime into segments which I would drop into the Lemon so I could photograph these and the resulting splash.
I had decided to focus the short side of my frame to the three inch rule with the camera in portrait orientation to try and make sure I caught splashes that went directly upwards, This would then mean I had to present my composition as a square. Ironically here a splash is just going off to the right which just gets missed right at the end.

Unbestimmte Fliege mit Tropfen/ unknown fly with drop
Der Grund für dieses Verhalten ist offenbar noch nicht abschließend geklärt: es könnte zur Verdauung beitragen oder zur Regelung der Temperatur.
The reason for this behavior is apparently not yet conclusively clarified: it could contribute to digestion or to regulating the temperature.

Heute war es zwar nur 10° "warm"... aber sonnig und windstill im Garten - ich habe mehrere Fliegen mit solchen Tropfen fotografiert.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is a single drop. Who knew that drops are so cool and difficult to photograph ? Especially when you have to capture only one drop at the time… Of course, I ended up with way too many drops pictures, so I’m pretty much sure we will see some drops photos in a next few days or weeks… and just like that another addiction is born. I hope you will like it ! Happy SOS to all participants !!
FYI: I have a family event tonight so I will not be able to answer your comments …. I will try to catch up as soon as my hungover is… well… over.
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !! Have a beautiful day !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
