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.
Last shot of the day on this one, the camera was packed, tripod stowed, I'm already late for my dinner date with the daughter.... Look at that light, clouds!.... I downloaded this for her to see so she knew why I was late. :-)
Glacier Basin Trail, Mount Rainier. That's 'Little' Tahoma getting the cloud action and I believe that's Ruby peak standing tall in front.

Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird gathering her composure after a brief visit to my hummingbird feeder.
Uncommon migrant and summer resident. For many years, at least two females regularly visit my feeder. They tend to arrive in mid-April and depart by the end of September.
