Pelicans, Cormorants and a few others on the crowded sand bar in the Fiorenza reservoir, probably shrinking due to the recent rains. Houston, Texas.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️❤️
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.
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.
Took this photo as the sun's rays were fading quickly into the night skies. Taken from Prout's Island in Lake Sesekinika in Sesekinika Grenfell Township Northeastern Ontario Canada

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 plant is growing in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to macro and raw.
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)....
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.
Finally had the chance to photo 43302 in its new guise (and reversion back to its old number 43102), my oh my was it worth the waiting and the uni work.
Taking charge of 1D43 (14:34 London St. Pancras - Nottingham), the record-holding power car and 43295 (also a renumbered power car, from 43095) leaves St. Pancras behind for a charge down the Midland Mainline.
