Mount Whitney (tumanguya) just got a fresh covering of snow. Winter has arrived in the Eastern Sierra.
Fascinating location here at Cuejdel lake. Even if the sun was up for around 2 hours, the mist was still lurking around the water.
And I think that's the last one I'll post from the lake... for now.
I'm usually a bit more selective, but this was such a beautiful day.
Fascinating watching this little Wren smashing the caterpillar on the ground. Did not take very long to consume.
By visiting a raw sugar factory in Louisiana, you will see one of Louisiana’s largest, oldest and most fascinating industries in operation.
Raceland Raw Sugar, LLC was built in 1892 in Lafourche (La-foosh) Parish, Louisiana under the ownership of Godchaux Sugars. In 1996 M. A. Patout & Son, LTD, LLC purchased the factory as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Today, Raceland Raw Sugar receives cane from seven neighboring parishes and has a grinding capacity of 15,000 tons per day. It is one of the last remaining 11 raw sugar mills/factories in the State.
A BIG Salute goes out to ALL Farmers....everywhere....in this month of Thanksgiving for what they do to provide us the simple things we often take for granted......

Fascinating waves created by an insect on the water.

Wandering Percher (Diplacodes bipunctata)
It is fascinating to watch all the Dragonflies and Damselflies at the Vic Uni Pond.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
Clouds are fascinating in so many ways--the processes that create them, the forms they take and how they function in the larger Earth system. But sometimes they are just cool to look at. I imagine this one capable of opening up like a giant clam and gobbling up a community.
For scale, the rising steam below the cloud in the lower center is from an ethanol plant a few miles from where I was standing.

A Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) was framed moments before her flight. It might not be the perfect perching for her for a great frame but the Bokeh backdrop and the colours of the bird made a delightful composition. Sheer beautiful combination was the pose of the colourful bird and the prime lens Bokeh on the green! Pics was taken from Purbasthali, West Bengal, India.
Feeding my plant obessions with these fascinating little flowers of the Dicentra.
Happy Monochrome Thursday 😊
This Eastern Wood-Pewee seemed to be fascinated with the camera. These little flycatchers are one of the last spring migrants to return from their wintering range in South America.
Southampton's modern Sea City museum is a fascinating building. One could never quite tire of trying to get 'the' picture, never quite finding it. Here is the latest attempt. See first comment box for an image of the building.
I found these tiny egg shells (empty, hatched) on a fence post at Dunlop Millennium Woodland Nature Park today. From the top to the bottom of the columns of eggs is only about 5-6mm, so each egg is tiny. I find these structures fascinating; they are really intricate, and I didn't see the iridescence inside the shells until I viewed the photo on my PC. I'm not sure what would have hatched out of them, but I'm guessing shieldbugs or moth caterpillars---I will Google and update if I can....
...too slow, thanks to Rockwolf for the probable ID of gorse shieldbug eggs :D
I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.
Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.
This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.

About this photo:
It's a sunset :-) I over-dramatized it. Too bad it isn't in the same shot as a beach.
About the process:
I enhanced this with a high-contrast layer (set to overlay) and a high-saturation layer (set to saturate). I also played with the colors in the channel mixer.

One of the fascinating and beautiful rock formations at Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire. Many with tree's growing in unusual places like this one on its own just growing from the rock appearing to reach across to the other side. We were the only people here this day which was quite eerie other than the sound of all the crows living in the trees. A fantastic place to explore and climb but not for the faint hearted.
If you've visited Amsterdam you must have seen the Magere Brug, the Skinny Bridge, which spans the Amstel River at Carré Theatre. No doubt during the day you've admired its strict, parallelled and even white forms.
But for the Amsterdam Light Festival 2020 and 2021 artist Krijn de Koning (1963-) decided to use LED lights to create a 'chaotic' night view. It breaks up the strict, mathematical lines of the day-view bridge. Fascinating, even in the light drizzle so from the Blauwbrug Sammy took a shot to share with you.
Soap bubble in spiky weed.
My garage is seen in the reflection, along with the spring ready trees. It's a little fascinating to watch the water spinning around inside the bubble, and the curbed reflection of the background.
swimming in the lake was always a little dicey if you didn't like invasive species. there were razor clams, blue-green algae, and american eels streaming out of the tributaries, ready to rub their slimey bodies against your water-treading calves. but not so fast..... seems the eels have been dying off suddenly and it's a mystery. as it turns out, they're fascinating creatures. i discovered this after briefly cruising thru a review of "the book of eels" (european eels, in this case). i love the title, it sounds so biblical.... simultaneous righteous and evil connotations. who doesn't love a slippery dichotomy? PS this house is on one of those tributaries.
Wild south Africa
Kruger National Park
For the past month, a group of 11 elephant bulls have been making their way through Mozambique, Eswatini and – for the past few days – South Africa. A 700 kilometers journey. On the morning of 10 May, the collared bull in the group, called Trailblazer by non-profit Elephants Alive, reached the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park.
The wandering bulls have made it to the Kruger boundary, but they now need to be let into the park, which may involve dropping a fence to allow them entry. The group split up a day ago, with Trailblazer looking for an entry point into Kruger, and the other ten spread out over three neighboring properties.
As of late Tuesday afternoon, 10 May, five of the bulls have been loaded onto translocation trucks and taken into Kruger, not including Trail Blazer and an injured bull.
‘In a world where we have isolated ourselves from each other and where there is such division over boundaries, we still find elephants that connect us despite our differences in history or habits,’ says Dr Michelle Henley, director and co-founder of Elephants Alive.

This photograph was taken at Grootvlei Dam, a few kilometers from the Mozambican border and I suspect very close to the route the elephants would have traveled on their epic journey. The elephants in my photo are not the elephants referred to in the actual event.
