During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

The old wall on Lingmoor Fell provides a great Lead-in line for the drama of the snow-capped Langdale Pikes.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

Meanwhile the rain in Sydney is causing hallucinations!!
It hasn't stopped for three days. It's like Woodstock!!
So here's 'Creedence Clearwater Revival' with their tribute to a vexed appearance at a rain-soaked Woodstock Concert in 1969:

A pencil lead consists of a part graphite and a part clay. The hardness of a pencil is determined by the composition of these components. Pencils with a lot of clay and little graphite have a higher hardness than pencils with little clay and a lot of graphite.
Pencils have codes that indicate the hardness. HB is an average office pencil. 9H is very hard (a lot of clay and little graphite) and 9B is very soft (a lot of graphite and little clay).
Pencils with a high degree of hardness are extremely suitable for very fine drawing, with thin lines such as technical drawing. The softer pencils are especially popular among artists for sketching, for example for creating shadows and dark areas.
