Firecrackers exploding above a car. The casings blew away like a rain of confetti.
Eigentlich wollte ich etwas ganz anderes fotografieren. Vor Ort musste ich feststellen, dass das so gar nicht funktionierte, wie angedacht. Also hab ich kurzerhand umdisponiert und mich auf die Gegend konzentriert. Gottseidank spielte das Wetter mit.

Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments. Each one is dearly appreciated!
Just think how many seed pods are in just one Cattail head. Look at the original size and you will see what I mean. Some are drifting off in the wind at the top. The day I shot this and some others it was 23 deg with the wind blowing.
If you like go to 'All Sizes' and look at either the 'Large' or better yet the 'Original'. Look just above the top bursting pod and you can see the fluffy seeds blowing away.
The waves are channeled into this ice formation where they then explode looking like a volcano erupting.
See my older post on how this is done. Ever since my previous edit I didn't like the mask I used to blend images. Since it is a pano and blending isn't straight forward. So I had to rely on auto mask and then manually fix it at pixel level. Here's the final clean edit of the milky way arch rising over Mesa arch.
Flower photographed in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Wonderful colours that just radiated in the bright sunshine.
The Black/Whiteprocessing matches the drama of the moment as strong wind blew the crest off another wave behind.
The treasure inside the blossom :-)

Yesterday on my way to work, I came across a very steady drip onto a walkway under the train platform. The sun was backlighting & it just looked so perfect.
If I would have had my NIKON, I could have just made life easier by holding the shutter & take multiple frames but all I had was my daily Point & Shoot carry camera. I just tried to count the secs between drips & I probably took about 15 shots to wind up with this captured explosion. The rest of the shots are various starburst effects after the impact. I was late to work... but who cares?
I could not believe my eyes when I saw this goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius or western salsify) plant growing on our acreage! I love experimenting with the seedheads!!
Tragopogon dubius (western salsify, western goat's-beard, wild oysterplant, yellow salsify, yellow goat's beard, goat's beard, goatsbeard, common salsify, salsify) [...] has been introduced into North America where it has become widespread, being reported from all the continental United States except for a few in the far south-east, and all provinces of Canada except Newfoundland and the northern territories.
Like most salsifies, the Western Salsify grows as an annual or occasionally biennial forb, reaching a height of typically 20-60 cm but sometimes almost a metre. It grows typically in warm, sheltered spots with moist soil. Its yellow flower is 4-6 cm in diameter and is likely to be seen in late spring or early summer. The flowers open early in the morning and often close up by late afternoon. Later the plant forms a seed head that resembles that of the dandelions but is distinctly larger. The seeds themselves (known as achenes) are 2-4 cm long but featherweight, weighing about 8 mg each on average. [...]
