These bright, jagged fragments are knapping flakes, the discarded pieces produced when Native Americans fashioned a chunk of flint, chert, obsidian or agate into cutting tools or spearheads or arrowheads. These are found in clusters on the Colorado Plateau, often on sites with scenic views--artists appreciated beauty in both nature and the implements that they created.
One of my first pictures taken on my recent trip to Barrika (Basque Country).
This beach is definitely the one that I liked most of all to which I have visited, with amazing rock formations in.
A pleasure for the senses to enjoy photographing and watching the waves crash against the shore.
I was surprised the big difference between high tide and low tide around 3 meters.
I hope you like it.

Another snowflake from our late January snowfall. Already in a deteriorating state when landed, it was still intriguing and larger than usual. Also like how a small flower like snowflake added itself to the larger flake.
From my photos, it looks like we got a lot of snow today, but it didn't add up to much. For a few minutes this morning, though, we got these big, beautiful flakes. Just wish it had lasted a little longer, as it only added up to about a half inch.

I think that this might be my best capture so far of some snow flakes that I managed to get early this afternoon
Native Americans made arrowheads, spearheads, knives and scrapers from agate. Sculpting a point from a hunk of agate left numerous knapping flakes.
I was taking macros of desert crust and lichens for friends, when I noticed a knapping flake beneath the lichens.
When did this flake hit the ground? Where did the agate come from?
Hunter-gatherers moved into the area about 10,000 years ago, and around present day Arches National Park they found pockets of chert and chalcedony that could be fashioned into points and cutting edges, leaving piles of knapping flakes on the ground.
nomnomnom.
i love whippy ice cream!
this is pretty much a post and run, im off fishing with my dad for the day. Its waay to early!
grrrr
explore no. 379
Finally got some real winter weather today; too bad it is Spring. Got lucky, the flakes were not melting and held their form. This one reflected back the LED lighting very nicely, creating the gold effect.
Getting a little more abstract here - I manually focussed the lens to about 2 or 3 feet and opened the aperture wide, resulting in lots of beautiful bokeh.
The center of this snowflake was really and truly coloured in real life!!!
I did NOT add the colour in post processing.
A possible explanation of the central colouring is that a dark particle was partially dissolved before crystallization took place. A copper based bit attacked by carbonic acid would produce a green tint.
Although no significant accumulation of snow, we did get some recent snow flurries in the past couple of days.
The technicalities of this item make me giggle. The idea that there is snow SO VIOLENTLY FALLING that it leaves you with welts. The reality is that someone got kinky and simultaneously in the christmas spirit with a little snowflake shaped whip.
These are made for reborn bodies and will work on the juicy rolls belly or the standard body belly. You can wear the top and bottom separately and they come as scars and fresh welts in two different opacities. Everything is modifiable so you can fit it to your skin tone. Also included are some cute little face snowflake welts (which are probably my favorite part of this whole set.)
I hope yall enjoy this set and it tickles your kinky christmas pickle. I was inspired by my cherry blossom applier in a similar style. ♥
Grab Flake at Equal10 on December 10th at Noon slt ♥
Just a quick one from Japan.
I was going through my old files just before I left and found this one. For some reason - don't ask me why, I don't have a clue - I shot this at f/2.8. As a result the DOF is very shallow and I'd prefer to see more. Shutter speed was 1/320, so that shouldn't have been the problem. Must have been the cold that shut my brain down.
My initial reaction was to throw the shot away, but then I realized that I often think that we (the serious photographers) tend to overanalyze our images, especially in a technical way. The fact that I, or any other photographer, would prefer more DOF (or more contrast, or more sharpness, etc.) in an image does not mean that magazines, newspapers, stock agencies, print buyers or friends and family members feel the same way. The more specialized or professional you become, the more obsessed you get with the small details, details other (normal :-) ) people might not even notice. Just a reminder to not overanalyze my images to death.
Anyway, I like the reflection, the pose and the snow flakes (especially the combination of the latter two) - so it will go into my selections folder, despite the shallow DOF.
Looking forward to meeting these guys again in a few days.
Greetings from sunny Tokyo!

With good luck and a lot of effort, this vial might be filled someday. It's fun to pan for gold, but also a lot of work!
Image taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme "The Periodic Table."
This is the most beautiful snow so far (and I am an expert). Each individual snowflake can be seen, too bad I don't have a macro lens!
edit: Thanks for the crop suggestion Lienchen...I replaced this photo with the new crop.
