“Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.”
Quote ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
pins, orange
Only one balloon popped. It helps when you dull the pin prior to using. Also, the power of macro photography.
Adult newts primarily breathe through their skin and spend much of their time buried within leaves and silt at water’s bottom. But sometimes they shoot up to the surface like a ballistic missile for a gulp of air, pivot and return to the bottom. The whole process takes two seconds.
Salar de Talar is a large salt flat located in the high puna of northern Chilean Andes, at an altitude of 3,950 m. It is part of a series of salt lakes and salt flats located at the foothills of a chain of volcanoes stretching along the eastern side of the much greater Salar de Atacama. The salty flat is bordered on the west by Caichinque and on the east by Cerro Medano, is a mountain with striking shades of grey and brown, which contrast nicely with the sparkling white of the salt flat's surface. On top of that, colourful ponds fringe its shores. Salar de Talar is a part of the Central Andean dry puna ecoregion, which in this zone is characterized by tussock grass vegetation.

As I began to photograph this shell, the tide began to cover it. I love how the water formed around it's shape.
A large family of Water Smartweed (Polygonum amphibium) basks in a calm shoreline, sending its pink spires skyward. As the scientific name suggests, it is one of few plants which has adapted to both land and water environments.

These rocks are normally caressed and covered by the current of a backcountry desert river. During low flows, they breach the surface of pools filled with silt and debris carried from higher elevations as well as minerals, microorganisms, and massive rock falls carried from flash floods into the river's bed.
A slick blanket of incandescent colors, created by the decomposition of all that settling miasma, nestle up to their exposed faces to give audience to winter's dimming light.
“Every hurt buried deep
in the mind
has an uncanny ability
to surface and make
its presence felt
when I am feeling low,
hugging me
like a long lost friend”
― Vijaya Gowrisankar
Life lived amidst tension and busyness needs leisure. Leisure that recreates and renews. Leisure should be a time to think new thoughts, not ponder old ills.

This little red squirrel kept disappearing from view, virtually tunnelling through the leaves, and then would surface, knee deep, every so often. It was quite comical :-)

A set of translucent dice back lit so the colours come through on to a watery surface, using a low key technique to make them stand out.

I get poison ivy so bad I've been hospitalized so for the first 25 years of my life I didn't venture into the woods very often and I think that is the impetuous of my love affair with nature now during the second half of my life after moving to Washington from Missouri.
I enjoy little scenes like this immensely, indeed, this was early in the hike and still I stood here, smelled the chilled air, listened to the rush of water, the grinding of stones being carried downstream. I think if everyone took the time to do this the world would be a happier place. So open your window, turn on a tap and blow this up. You're welcome. :)
