I am always in amazement of the water repellent properties of some leaves. Walking back home in the rain yesterday, I spotted this leaf with a nice row of droplets.

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.

A species of dabbling duck that is native to South America and can sometimes be also known as the Argentine Red Shoveler. Preferred habitat is dense reed beds, lagoons, marshes and shallow lakes and pools. Like other species of shovelers they feed by sifting the surface of the water filtering out small aquatic animals and plants through their bill which contains tiny vertical slits known as lamellae along the lower and upper sides of the bill. The female hen differs from the male who has a red to pink plumage.

Another moon shot. This time eyepiece projection was used to project the image of a 10mm Plössl ocular attached to the telescope (500mm, f10) onto the camera's sensor. This results in bigger magnification at the cost of loss of light. Post-processing was done in RawTherapee.
Flat surfaces not always are boring :)
As they say the limiting factor is not the gear or subject, it is imagination of the photographer.
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. :)
