Rubber Duckies

Grey Tree Frog . You really have to look to find them. Now, autumn is here and they are winding down.
Scrap tyres: Rubber Donuts. Billions of waste tyres around the world = massive pollution. Yet ground-up tyres can be used in asphalt for roads. Roads with rubber in them have better grip, and they’re 50% quieter. These last three times longer than normal tarmac, and don’t need as much maintenance.
It's a black and white issue

These are conservative or "low" Amish horses. The church district no longer exists. 10 years ago there was a schism. The conservative families moved and the remaining Amish became more liberal or "high" in adopting more technology and expanding the type of jobs that were allowed......................................................
The conservative Amish did not allow rubber on tires, tops on buggies, use of propane and required farming and lumber production as acceptable economic activities. The remaining turned to industrial farming practices building large Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOS). Unfortunately given few state pollution regulations and the isolation of the community the few regulations are not enforced. This has led to practices that pollute ground water...................................................................................
Unlike their co-workers the horses don't mind having their pic taken..... #kentstrock
My attempt at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Knots".
A rubber band really close up!
Shot with a (Tomioka) "Tominon MC 48 mm F 4" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain". Or fall in the puddles.
I thought (which sometimes isn't good) I could go out in the rain and put rubber duckies in this puddle and get a good picture for today. I crouched down took the pic and went to stand up and slipped on the ice underneath and landed on my right side in the puddle. I should of taken that picture and hope no one seen me make a fool of my self. I didn't really hurt my self (just my pride) because I was so close to the ground but I was WET. I hope you enjoy the shot and my adventure.
Due to the sudden surge of comments and faves, I may have missed yours, my sincere apologies. Thank you everyone for your kind support

Junior sized rubber ducky all decked out in his best Christmas garb. For the Macro Mondays group. Theme: Holiday Bokeh. HMM!
This blue duck belongs to Eli, my eldest grandson. He carries
it with him in his pocket... an undisputable proof of the quote below... 😉
One is never alone with a rubber duck.

These are rubber finger thimbles shaped of Haniwa.
I usually keep them on my desk in the office, but I brought them home to take photo for this weeks theme. I like them because they're cute, but difficult to use.
The hight is 4cm, the part shown in the photo is 2cm.
Haniwa are clay figures in the shape of men, women They were made for ritual use and buried with the dead as funerary objects during the Tumulus period.

"Rubber Duckie" is a song sung by the Muppet character Ernie (voiced by Jim Henson) on Sesame Street. The song is named after Ernie's toy, a rubber duck affectionately named Rubber Duckie.
Smile on Saturday.
Song Title.
We've had a lot of grey and wet weather recently. In fact as I type it's raining again. The other day when I was out and about I asked for a sign for when this abysmal weather would stop. Soon after a rubber duck appeared in the sky (I'm sure I heard a quiet heavenly chuckle as well....). OK more wet weather for the foreseeable future, I get it :D
Joking aside, I think this "duck" is better viewed on a smaller screen, like the back of my camera or phone. On a larger screen I feel it loses its shape somewhat. A couple of people that's seen this photo think it looks more like a sea horse. Still, I know what it is and it's not everyday you see a rubber duck in the sky! This one's for you Dom!
i went to a small rural country dragway late yesterday afternoon. its an amateur track; everyone is there for the pure love of the sport - here they are spinning their tires to heat up the rubber in order to build up the traction for the fast takeoff.
Big in North Carolina and NASCAR, Richard Petty, got his start here. a lot of the old school drag and stock car racers were moonshine bootleggers back in the Prohibition.

Well...not really, he's a Pied Grebe, but they are such adorable little ducks that he SHOULD be the model for those little yellow rubber duckies!
I watched him for quite some time as he swam happily around the lily pads looking for a snack on a beautiful winter day in Everglades National Park.
Part bird, part submarine, the Pied-billed Grebe is common across much of North America. These small brown birds have unusually thick bills that turn silver and black in summer. These expert divers inhabit sluggish rivers, freshwater marshes, lakes, and estuaries. They use their chunky bills to kill and eat large crustaceans along with a great variety of fish, amphibians, insects, and other invertebrates. Rarely seen in flight and often hidden amid vegetation, Pied-billed Grebes announce their presence with loud, far-reaching calls. (background material courtesy of Cornell Lab of Ornithology)
