I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out
We're stressed out
According to the micrometer, the penny is not shrinking, it still measures 750/1000 inches or 3/4 of an inch.
This is a focus stack image created using 11 separate images and then stacked using AFFINITY Photo Software. It did all the work, I just pressed the shutter.
Situated in Tenaya Canyon directly between North Dome and Half Dome, Mirror Lake is the last remnant of a large glacial lake that once filled most of Yosemite Valley at the end of the last Ice Age. It is shrinking, and is close to disappearing, due to accumulated sediment from Tenaya Creek that runs through it.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
We are back from our short wintery visit to Yosemite Valley, and I hope to catch up within the next few days.

Linear and inexorable, the shelf of ice grows from the banks of the Bow River to encroach upon a family of ducks.
Great and Snowy Egrets take advantage of the dead fish at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware, USA. The pond shrunk due to a prolonged drought, so the water loses its oxygen, and the fish suffocate. This is good for the birds, as it gives them a bonanza to feed on.
Hiking through these high mountain meadows, I found myself enveloped in thick fog that transformed the familiar landscape into something otherworldly. Visibility dropped to mere meters, and the pine forest behind emerged and disappeared in waves of mist, creating layers of ghostly silhouettes.
My intention was to capture that peculiar state of mind that fog induces in the mountains - a kind of peaceful disorientation where the world shrinks to what's immediately visible, yet simultaneously expands in imagination. The black and white treatment felt essential to strip away distraction and focus on the essential elements: form, depth, atmosphere, and that haunting quality of trees half-seen through veils of mist.
What drew me to this composition was the trail disappearing into white nothingness, inviting yet uncertain. The foreground pine anchors the scene while the forest behind dissolves into progressively lighter tones, creating a natural gradient from solid form to pure atmosphere. It's the kind of scene that makes you stop walking and simply stand still, listening to the silence, feeling small and reflective.
This image represents those weather conditions most people avoid in the mountains - the foggy, visibility-poor days when summits are invisible. But these are often the moments when landscapes reveal their most intimate, contemplative character, stripping away grandeur to offer something quieter and more personal.

The shorelines of PEI are eroding faster due to effects of climate change. Weather events like storm surges and rising sea levels are causing many structures to be at risk. These causes hit the island hard because the coastline is made up mainly of sandstone and sand which does not stand up to the increased weathering. There used to be more ice in the winter which would act as a buffer from some of the erosion but there hasn’t been much ice in recent winters. Experts say the province loses about 28 cm of land every year. In some spots the shore breaks off in large chunks. One of the vulnerable structures on the island are the lighthouses. This lighthouse at Seacow Head was already moved back from the bank in 1979. Other structures that are at risk are the wind turbines and of course, many homes.
Florida's bald eagles are considered part of the southern subspecies which nests in Florida, Mexico, the southern Atlantic states, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and southern California. Southern bald eagles tend to be smaller than the northern subspecies, and they nest in winter instead of spring.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is unique to North America. It belongs to a group of avians known as fish or sea eagles. Of the eight fish eagles that exist worldwide, only one, the bald eagle, is found in the Western Hemisphere.
Eagles normally nest in the same area, and sometimes the same tall tree, year after year, yet they often travel thousands of miles between seasons. As primarily fish and carrion eaters, most of Florida's nesting eagles are found within a mile of a coastline or some permanent year-round body of water. Unlike ospreys, which are often confused for bald eagles, eagles usually avoid nesting in man-made structures such as channel markers, utility poles and the like. They prefer live trees.
Florida's bald eagles nest at a time contrary to that in other parts of the country. Elsewhere, bald eagles nest in the spring and summer when food is at its most abundant. Florida eagles, on the other hand, nest in winter when prey is plentiful throughout the peninsula. For instance, in the dry winter season, fish are more concentrated when ponds shrink or dry up.
It's believed that bald eagles are able to spot items two or three times farther away than humans. Their vision, among the best of all living animals, is what the eagles rely on to hunt their prey. They typically use their feet to snare and kill their prey.
When capturing another bird in flight, the eagle will fly below its prey, turns upside down and snatches the victim by its breast. When fishing, the bald eagle is a stunning, majestic sight as it swoops down and grabs a fish with its talons, often not even getting its legs wet.
However, as Ben Franklin (who wanted the turkey as our national symbol) noted, bald eagles are of definite "bad moral character" since they steal food from other birds. The neighborhood bully, the bald eagle may swipe food from ospreys, which share the same kind of habitat, and they also steal from other eagles as well.
I found this bully along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
A set of star shaped cookie cutters. I won't pretend that I've ever used them, maybe someday.
The title is inspired by the song 'Dazzle' by Siouxsie and the Banshees, which I had in my head when I took the shot.
Of course it is all for Macro Mondays and the 'Kitchen' theme for this week.
A beautiful sunset among the mountains of southeast Alaska. Yet the trace of glacier is frustrating, from glacier to waterfall to stream. It is unfortunate to see glacier keep shrinking over the years.
This is one of four young Baltimore Orioles, presumably siblings, who spent several weeks this summer visiting my yard daily. I think they must have come from a nest nearby. The four of them stuck together pretty closely throughout that time and didn't take a back seat to anyone, although they kept a close eye on the bees and wasps buzzing around the flowers. Flowers of Cup Plant in the distance provide background colour.
Similar patterns are to be found in the mud of drying puddles or in cooling basaltic magma (forming polygonal columns)....

Why is World Parrot Day so important to this cockatoo?
In late 2021, the rare and striking palm cockatoo had its conservation status reclassified from least concern to endangered following a recent population drop. Major habitat loss has been cited as the primary cause of the species’ decline. Australia’s palm cockatoos are found only in the rainforests of Cape York Peninsula, at the northern tip of Queensland. Land clearing due to mining and worsening bushfires due to climate change are shrinking the species’ already limited viable habitat.
Making matters worse, the palm cockatoo has an unusually slow rate of reproduction. Females lay only a single egg every two years. Research suggests that chick loss to due predation results in palm cockatoo pairs only producing—on average—a single offspring every ten years. There are thought to be fewer than 1,500 birds remaining in the wild. (Source: www.aviculturehub.com.au/)
While photographing in the Cape York Peninsula in November 2022, we went out five nights in a row to look for these birds as they came in from a day of foraging. We were lucky to watch this particular male on several nights when he called loudly to claim his territory and bring in his mate. See flic.kr/p/2oEf6eG for a photo of the pair.
It was incredible being able to watch these birds on multiple evenings and witness a wide range of behaviors including the famous drumming they do with sticks and hard nuts; this behavior has earned them the nickname "Ringo Star."
For Macromondays' "Crack Theme." This is a small section of a vase I turned out of very green wood just to see what would happen. It shrank and twisted quite a bit. The area shown is about a 1 1/4" square.
Hills composed of multicolored bentonite clays in Capitol Reef National Park- The rough texture of the surface is due to the shrinking and swelling of the clays from wetting and drying cycles. This and the chemistry of the soils makes them a difficult medium for plant growth, contributing to the barren look. Driving through this area after it rains is difficult due to the slick and sticky nature of the soil. In the distance Factory and Caineville Buttes stick up on the horizon.

We’re still in the first week of Spring so we’re slowly saying good-bye to the snow on our lawn.
Past month this shows massive snow, below…
A shot of the Mississippi shore in Sunset Park. Summer like heat and very little rain adds up to low river levels.
We've had a string of temps in the upper 80's and 90's with very little rain and the conditions north of here are even worse.
The river is expected to drop under 5' this week. It normally runs at 8'. The record low is just under 3'. This same month in 2008 it was 21.5'!! Picture it as high as being between the first and second story of the platform!
It's a crazy river. Send rain please.
In this shot you can see how low the marsh has gotten this summer. That little patch of land the seagulls are using is usually under water.
