Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is « single ». So you will understand that Mr. Teddy Bear couldn’t be with us this week since he isn’t single anymore… However, Mr. Teddy Bear has a very good friend who happens to be single: Mr. Dino. That is why he is the hero of today’s picture. Mr. Dino is truly a nice guy but some of his personal characteristics make it very difficult, for him, to find love. First of all, Mr. Dino has a very, very high voice. People constantly call him « madame » while on the phone. He has very short arms which makes difficult to pick stuff from the floor… Also, being blue isn’t appropriate for all the decors… And you surely don’t want to repaint your house at the very beginning of a relationship. Also, he has a very scary looking shadow, which might scare a few potential candidats. All those details are the reasons for Mr. Dino being single. But who knows, maybe after today’s picture he will find love…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Although I don't really care for marigolds, I thought this one looked quite attractive in her frills...
After being at work from 6:15 am until 7:15 pm ... by the time I got home and ate a quick dinner, when I looked outside around 8 the sky looked like it could potentially be colorful. I debated whether to head out in a rush down to the river (about a 15 minute ride) ... and decided I needed to get a break from the stress of work and enjoy a few minutes of the day.
Was not disappointed with the colors ... here is a 10 second capture made with the 64ND (6 Stop) filter.
Interesting how by this time of the year the sun is setting way up river as opposed to beyond the end of the pier like it does in winter. Limits the compositions.

I don't know, but it seems as though a booth right next to the door would be a good place for a vendor at an antiques fair; your stuff would be the first thing that potential customers see when they enter, and the last thing to tempt them before they walk out. But in this case, the woman with the stroller just walked right past without a glance. Oh well...

and Jan:
This was how the sky looked about 10 minutes or so before sunset time along Middle River. At this time my dad who came out to see how things would unfold this evening were talking about the potential for colors this evening based on the cloud deck and the clearing in the sky farther to the west.
The winds were calm as well, creating a nice reflective surface. I like to call this time the 'potential energy' of the sunset colors was very HIGH at this moment ... all the elements were there as long as there were not farther off clouds below the horizon in the west that we could not see. Considering the skies were not forecasted to be clear until closer to the following morning ... you could not be 100 positive that the sun would be blocked cutting off the light as things progressed.
Alas, the potential energy was all released over the following 30 minutes.
One of the later captures is below in the comments.

Dark, menacing storm clouds gather over a deserted rural road as a potential tornado forms in the distance. The landscape is illuminated by a faint, eerie light breaking through the overcast sky, adding to the dramatic atmosphere.

... ::: Training season - Dua Lips ::: ...
Are you
Someone that I can give my heart to?
Or just the poison that I'm drawn to?
It can be hard to tell the difference late at night
Play fair
Is that a compass in your nature?
Or are you tricky 'cause I've been there?
And baby, I don't need to learn that lesson twice
But if you really wanna go there
You should know I
Need someone to hold me close
Deeper than I've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo
Knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable
He's straight talking to my soul
Conversation overload
Got me feeling vertigo
Are you somebody who can go there?
'Cause I don't wanna have to show ya
If that ain't you, then let me know, yeah
'Cause training season's over
I try to see my lovers in a good light
Don't wanna do it just to be nice
Don't wanna have to teach you how to love me right
I hope it hits me like an arrow
Someone with some potential
Is it too much to ask for, who understands?
Can you compete?
Now is your time
Run when you hear that whistle blow
Are you on my team
Or stuck on the sidelines
Waiting for someone to tell you to go?
For someone to tell you to go
You should know I
It looks like Canada jays, aka "Camp Robbers," are exploring a new criminal enterprise. I'm not sure if this bird is planning on simply robbing this vehicle, or stealing it entirely.

What is canola?
The oilseed packed with healthy oil, protein and potential
In a few decades, canola has become one of the world’s most important oilseeds and one of Canada’s leading crops. Today canola is a true “made-in-Canada” success story and the foundation of a thriving, sustainable industry.
The canola plant
One of the most widely grown crops in Canada, canola plants produce beautiful small yellow flowers which develop into pods, resembling pea pods. Each pod contains tiny black seeds, made up of about 45% oil. Once harvested, canola seeds are crushed to release the oil contained within the seed.
Canola grown in Canada belongs to the Brassica napus B. rapa or B. juncea species which belong to a much larger mustard family (Brassicaceae). Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower are also part of this same botanical family.
The history of canola seed in Canada
Historical records indicate that rapeseed was cultivated as early as 2000 B.C.E. in India and introduced into China and Japan around 35 B.C.E. Documented use or that of a close relative appears in the earliest writings of European and Asian civilizations. Rapeseed plants prefer to grow in relatively low temperatures, with less heat required for successful reproduction than other oilseed crops. Therefore, rapeseed was one of the very few oil sources that could be successfully grown in temperate climates. This led to rapeseed being grown in Europe as early as the 13th century. In later centuries, rapeseed was used for both cooking and lighting, as its oil produced a smokeless white flame. Rapeseed had a rather limited industrial acceptance until the development of steam power, when it was discovered that rapeseed oil would bind to water and steam washed metal surfaces better than any other lubricant. It was this special property that led to the introduction of rapeseed into Canada.
The need for Canadian rapeseed production arose from the critical shortage of rapeseed oil that was needed by Allied forces during World War II and were supplied by Canada to break the blockade of European and Asian sources in the early 1940s. The oil was urgently needed as a lubricant for the rapidly increasing number of marine engines in naval and merchant ships.

I make bombs in my cellar

I've been going through photos and touching up the ones I was never really happy with; they had the potential to be good (or at least better) and I didn't know how, at the time, to really bring forth the beauty and atmosphere that I had intended to capture. So, I'll be posting some "Touch-Ups" every now and then of photos I've already posted.
This is Reynisdrangar in Vik, Iceland. My original photo (www.flickr.com/photos/gwennyma/16531614489/in/album-72157...) is a bland, gray landscape, but I wanted to show the fierce weather, the dramatic black sand, and the craggy rocks as they were meant to be. I hope you like this version more and that it gives that sense of the cold, harsh, and unique raw beauty that I experienced.
Today had great potential - shame it didn't materialise.
Turned out overcast with odd showers. The forecast for this afternoon is better.
