not selective color. at first I wanted to remove the red bit, then realized, "wait, that's the picture!"
Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.
Another ballast season is upon us, as is another season of dip netting for Redhorse suckers in the Crawfish River at Hubbleton. Here we witness the Canadian Pacific's westbound empty ballast train crossing the Crawfish on Wisconsin & Southern's Watertown sub, as the local fisherman look on and hope for a good harvest this spring.

Norman Hudson holds a roll of this cool plastic mesh designed to back up batt fiberglass insulation. The worker on top of the scaffold is stripping off squares of 40-year-old stucco, while the man on the ground is loading into a truck.
Any colorful building material is a plus in my book, even though it will be covered over.
With harvest taking place at the moment the Orchardists take off the netting and pick the Apples. These looked a bit like Pink Lady. I bought some lovely looking fresh Fuji apples. Much better than the supermarket ones. Bellevue Farm, Officer
In this country … men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into netting when they retire.
Humpback whales normally travel alone. But in southeast Alaska, some occasionally work as a team to capture fish. With "bubble-netting," a group of humpbacks come together and rapidly circle in an upwardly shrinking spiral. The whales blow bubbles beneath a school of fish, commonly herring. The herring gets corralled into the net, produced by the whales’ precise, fine-scale movements and finely tuned teamwork. Then they efficiently scoop up lunch with their mammoth-sized mouths, gulping thousands of fish at once. It’s over in a flash and you never know the exact spot where the whales will engage in the behavior.
Not all humpbacks do this. Estimates are that only 60-100 whales out of approximately 4000 in southeast Alaska engage in this learned activity.
It was truly a treat to witness this.
This is a close-up photo of buoys and fishing netting that I photographed on the government wharf in East Petpeswick.
