The rock is composed of a mineral called Arkose. Granite like with Feldspar. The iron in Feldspar reacts with oxygen in the air to give us the orange-red colour. Newly broken bits will be grey to white in colour.

the grey heron sits and waits for prey, it waits patiently.
If something comes near it, it reacts in a blink of an eye.
You need luck to catch him catching.
Today he was more patient than the photographer! 😄
der Graureiher sitzt und wartet auf Beute, er wartet geduldig.
Wenn etwas in seine Nähe kommt schnappt er blitzschnell zu.
Man braucht Glück um ihn beim Fang zu erwischen.
Heute war er geduldiger als der Fotograf! 😄
Billy did not quite know how to react when this Swan swam over and hissed at him...he was wise though and skipped off down the towpath knowing he had met his match!

I hear that women only want the “tattooed bad boys” Listen up we are waiting and waiting for you to react.
It doesn't matter if you want or are a bad boy. It matters if you know “how” to be while being a good guy.
Sometimes you have to take a woman who wants to be taken by the hair and push her back to the wall and take her in a fit of heated passion.
You cover her flesh with your ravenousness kisses until you feel her squirming. Then you continue to turn up the heat by denying her what she wants most. You let your dominant animistic masculine actions devour, leaving her breathless.
You don't leave her until she is wanting more. We want you to react.
This very charismatic almost pure white male seemed to be reacting here to the clicking of my camera. Short-eared and Hawk Owls may cock their heads in reaction to clicking but I cannot recall a Snowy doing so in the past.

Jacamars are reacted to puffbirds and more distantly to barbet and toucans. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1034/j.160...
From Wiki: The jacamars are a family, Galbulidae, of near passerine birds from tropical South and Central America, extending up to Mexico. The family contains five genera and 18 species. They are closely related to the puffbirds, another Neotropical family, and the two families are often separated into their own order, Galbuliformes, separate from the Piciformes. They are principally birds of low-altitude woodlands and forests, and particularly of forest edge and canopy.
Jacamars are insectivores. They spend most of the day perched (inactive) waiting for flying-by insects or butterflies to snatch in mid air and return to the same spot.
So I have this rule when it comes to sunsets. When you think it's over, sit down and wait 15 minutes before putting your camera away. Usually I follow this rule, but sometimes I don't and regret it.
I posted an image a while ago of this scene earlier in the evening with a crystal clear reflection. Not long after that shot the rain and wind moved in and the reflection disappeared. I was so excited about that image that I didn't really look too hard to find much else if the sunset really kicked off. The sky went grey, the lake had no reflection at all, and light rain started to take its toll. I started packing up.
Of course after packing up halfway, what do I see? The slightest hint of pink on the horizon.
"Uh oh. I've made a mistake here."
I grabbed my stuff and started scouting as quickly as I could. I found a little cove where the wind wasn't impacting the lake quite so much and decided to see if I could pull back a bit of reflection with a long exposure. As quick as the light came, it disappeared. Far from perfect outcome, but hey, I still liked it.
So what’s the moral of the story? That’s a good question. Don’t pack up early? OK preparedness results in OK outcomes? Sometimes things happen and you have to react fast? All of the above? There’s a lesson in here somewhere. I’m just not sure that I’ve learned it yet.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk!

I love how fast you can react with this monopod to get the right POV. For fungi shots I prefer to use my tripod, because it's a still life and take the time for the composition(s) with strange POV's.

We have a couple of jackrabbits that live in our neighborhood and sometimes hop across our property near dawn and dusk. I have to shoot through the window as careful opening of a door sends them bounding away. This one was even reacting a little to the very quiet sound of the shutter from inside a well sound insulated house! Mount Shasta, California
I've always loved the beginning BW segment of the Wizard of Oz film. In particular the scenes where Dorothy meets Professor Marvel just before the storm brews up. The sepia tones, the dusty landscape, the dark clouds, the shadows, it's all part of classic visual storytelling. It sets the mood and atmosphere before even a word of dialog is spoken. I think, like most of us, scenes from that film are hard wired into my mind because we first viewed it at such a young age, and probably multiple times. All these years later, I still react to environments that remind me of the film. I'm insipred to attempt to recreate them photographically.
The Gull is reacting to the sudden appearance of a Peregrine Falcon chasing another Gull in the air over the Ottawa River shoreline. While other birds fled this one, feeding in the shallows, spun and watched, shrieking loudly. This was the fifth time I have been on the River during Peregrine flyovers. It causes quite a stir. I should add that I am 0/5 trying to get an image of the Peregrine when it hunts over the River. It flies low and moves faster than I had appreciated. It is an amazing experience though.
Earlier this year I was stood amongst these trees when a couple of guys came along and pointed out that this was in fact a shot taken by some famous photographer. As I don't follow Instagram I'm clearly not part of the real world. At the time I put this composition into the back of my head. That was back in the fall, I left the two guys to shoot it in the middle of the day. Step forward a few months and I had a chance to shoot it on my own with good conditions. I got some nice shots with low lying fog at sunrise and then two months later I got this shot in the snow.
I confess to being a bit lazy, I knew this was going to look good in snow, I wasn't sure if some of my other locations in the vicinity would look as good and because slogging around in thigh deep snow is difficult (I also had a sprained ankle) I chose the easy subject that I knew was going to work.
A lot of people assume that we get great snow conditions here in the winter but that's not true. We're quite close to the ocean and not very high up. There's far less snow here than for instance Bariloche. I hiked up here in the late afternoon with a forecast telling me the cloud cover would be thick until the morning. It was quite a tough hike in deep snow. During the hike a puma ran across the trail barely 100 feet in front of me. I had no time to react to it, and thankfully it paid me no attention. As I approached these trees Cerro Torre was still socked in with cloud, I wanted to take a look to see the subject none the less. As luck would have it the clouds began to open up. I began to tear things out of my pack. A lens cap and spare battery were dropped in the deep snow, things that would later require some digging to find. I yanked out my tripod and took a couple of shots exposing first for the mountain as I knew I could worry about the foreground later.
Three 20 second exposures were needed for the foreground, each focussing on a different part of the scene for a focus stack in post.
I would have shot more, but had no more than three minutes to work before it became too dark.
All that effort in the snow had got me soaked in sweat and so I had a rather unpleasant night camped in my tent. I woke the following morning to frozen boots and clothing that needed a lot of agitating before I could get dressed. Sunrise was uneventful and as so often happens snow had began falling from the tree and spoiling the foreground making pockmarks like meteor craters on the moon.
I hiked off trail back to town through a beautiful forest. All in all a good bit of work.
I understand the Dutch photographer Max Rive may well have shot this scene first. It’s a shame I didn’t consider shooting it years ago. I always used to prefer to have the mountains covering the largest percentage of the image, this most recent trip to Patagonia has seen me change my style somewhat and it has certainly opened up some new compositions for me. The mountain looks small, I shot this with a 20mm prime lens. Stood at this spot the main peak of Cerro Torre does look much bigger. I have no problem doing a focal length blend because if done right it creates an image that better represents the scene. I don't however have the skills to pull that off and make it look right.
When I get it on my large monitor I'll look at it again.
And it's not such a bad thing, really.

Today was a day....that made me exhilarated at the concept that I'm almost finished.
I got frustrated. I hate it. I hemed and hawed.
aaaaaaand posted it.
Thus is life....and heck, it's only a picture.
I have to center myself sometimes.
Been thinking about my family a lot lately. As I get older...I notice mannerisms that my mother has....and I react as she would...or think like her.
Although it's maybe a classic joke...."I'm turning into my mother"
Truthfully.
My mother is a woman with a good heart and a strong head on her shoulders.
She's a better person than I.
Who wouldn't want that, really.
(but I do swear like a sailor...and gah she hates it...LMAO)
Night folks...see you tomorrow....ya know...day 365?

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. It was simply the beautiful low winter sunlight and how it reacted with her hair that caught my eye here - enjoy!
One of three bioluminescent fungi found in western Pennsylvania. The weak glow is limited to the gill area and requires a long-time exposure to bring out the details. The bioluminescent glow is caused by enzymes that react chemically with a pigment called luciferin.
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows bright, colorful pockets of star formation blooming like roses in a spiral galaxy named NGC 972.
The orange-pink glow is created as hydrogen gas reacts to the intense light streaming outwards from nearby newborn stars; these bright patches can be seen here amid dark, tangled streams of cosmic dust.
Astronomers look for these telltale signs of star formation when they study galaxies throughout the cosmos, as star formation rates, locations, and histories offer critical clues about how these colossal collections of gas and dust have evolved over time. New generations of stars contribute to — and are also, in turn, influenced by — the broader forces and factors that mold galaxies throughout the universe, such as gravity, radiation, matter, and dark matter.
German-British astronomer William Herschel is credited with the discovery of NGC 972 in 1784. Astronomers have since measured its distance, finding it to be just under 70 million light-years away.

Merry Christmas, everyone!!! I hope you're enjoying a wonderful day! Yesterday morning, the bitter cold and strong wind set up a beautiful sunrise display with the warmer Gulf water reacting to the cold air as steam hovered over the Gulf...it made for a magical sight!
