Sea squirts

Man, I've been meaning to upload this picture since January 31st.
I did some website work for my friend Brian, and I got some Squirt in exchange for it. Squirt isn't available in my parts. A bottler just doesn't want to deal with it I guess.
I haven't had Squit since a trip to Alaska to see family when I was 13. I had forgotten what it tasted like. It's really good. It's like fresca but not diet.
Waves squirting up through a gap in some rocks, Troon, Ayrshire, Scotland.

This is one of the nicest, sweetest kitties I have. This is little Squirt. She is a runt and isn't very big but she is big on love!!
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Water".
I Quite like using flash to freeze the movement of water and that's what I did here.
First I found a small glass in a local antique shop. This was set up with 3 inches focussed on the short side so therefore required the square crop.
Then mixing a little bit of blue food colouring in one glass of water and yellow in another the aim was to squirt syringes filled with it into the glass at the point of exposure and there should be green in the glass where the other colours had mixed.
The flashgun was set at it's lowest power 1/128th for the fastest flash duration and this was sufficient to freeze fast squirting water.
Next it was a case of setting the 5 second self timer and squirting the water just as the exposure was about to trigger. A messy shoot that required resetting between every shot but fun also. 😁

Sea squirts or cunjevoi and sea tulips are collectively known as ascidians. Although they are an evolutionary link between invertebrates and vertebrates, they resemble many marine invertebrates in other ways.

They are filter feeders by sucking water through a tube and removing nutrients as the water comes and goes.
Greg found these in an overhang on a beach while fossicking near the Broome jetty where the high tide would have covered the area.

And to think, Sugar thought she couldn't squirt 😅😂 If I don't live after this post, I love you all! How about this shot tho?! haha
For the Macro Mondays theme of "Four Elements" I decided to have a bit of fun with water and food colouring.
I like the effects you can get by squirting water and splashes and different colours mixing can give interesting results.
Here I just used blue colour and squirted it into a small port glass.
I framed the scene as 3 inches on the short side and therefore cropped the photo as square for the group.
This is Squirt my Chinese Soft Shell Turtle don't ask me why I took him home years age , not the best pet due to their aggressive nature his size is not showing in the picture but he is a very large turtle well capable of breaking a mans finger with one bite thats if he lets go in the first place
I guess this brown bear cubs was a bit excited about getting the salmon that is squeezed it a little too hard :-). This photo was taken in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve!
The larger geyser at Geysir, Iceland. Summer 2014. Had just arrived and waited for the geyser to blow. I wondered why everyone was over the other side. When I got my second hot shower of the day all became evident.
An abstract of the mighty Merced river flowing over a granite stone in Yosemite National Park, and a bonus "squirt" of water popping up in the frame.
Squirt is happy to play around the porch in the garden but he also likes to join in when we go for our walks.
He is very brave and follows me or Critter anywhere.

Was trying a few new settings on my camera and totally messed heaps of these up but managed to get a few focused.
