We discovered a small park with three frog ponds today. The recent winds had left quite a few leaves floating. The visible surface tension on the edges of the floating leaf caught my eye.

My daughter, Melissa and her fiance both make jewelry.
Melissa made the one on the left and Hendy made the one on the right.
I like the tarnished surface on both the rings and the copper sheet that they are set on.
MacroMondays theme this week is Copper

Important moment for this build because now, it can't fail. If it all goes wrong, it might not be as awesome as it could be making the octagonal surface work was critical so now, everything's a bonus. I still need to decide how to edge it and sort the corners - I have an idea to try already. If I'm going to put in on legs, now's the point where I figure out how that's going to work:
Asteroid Bennu's boulder-covered surface gives it protection against small meteoroid impacts, according to observations of craters by NASA's OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft.
Bennu is a “rubble-pile” asteroid, meaning that it formed from the debris of a much larger asteroid that was destroyed by an ancient impact. Fragments from the collision coalesced under their own weak gravity to form Bennu.
This image shows asteroid Bennu’s boulder-covered surface. It was taken by the PolyCam camera on NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on April 11, 2019 from a distance of 2.8 miles (4.5 km). The field of view is 211 ft (64.4 m), and the large boulder in the upper right corner of the image is 50 ft (15.4 m) tall. When the image was taken, the spacecraft was over the southern hemisphere, pointing PolyCam far north and to the west.

This image was initially explored at Highest position: 413 on Sunday, February 21, 2016 but was pushed out of the top 500 or so for the day so is not included in my explored images according to Scout.

I wasn't going to post another bridge image taken on this morning but I really liked how this one turned out. The bottom of the front of my lens was millimeters off of the surface of the water with the bottom of the camera resting on the shoreline. The perspective is a favorite of mine and rarely do I come away from an area that holds water without taking a few. :)
Please take a moment and click on the image to see it large on a black background. It really looks nicer that way and gives a better feeling for that "On the Water" experience. Better yet, if you have a large monitor look at it in "Original" size! And, as always, thank you in advance for looking at my work and for any comments, critiques and favorites. :)

And a Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!!
The autumnal equinox occurred this year (2015) at 4:21 A.M. EDT on Wednesday the 23rd of September. That exact time seems so matter of fact, but I’m pretty certain I was asleep when it fell, and I never heard a thing. There are still a little over 28 days until winter solstice on December 21st at 11:48 P.M. EST, but autumn has pretty much done its thing here in North Carolina. With a few nights in at under freezing temperatures, and cold fronts with wind and rain, there are few leaves that have not already been driven from their trees.
On the surface, that seems somewhat of a harsh reality… but is it really? So many places throughout this state touched by autumn were no less than brilliant this year, and I was blessed by its splendor. It’s somewhat amazing to think that these wonderful autumnal effects are actually due to leaves dying… I can only hope to go out in a blaze like that. And, having been evicted by the wind, their beauty doesn’t just blink out… their color adds a joyful blanket wherever they fall! Joyful, that is, until it’s time to grab the rake and round them up.
I wonder… would you have known what this was without the one vivid leaf? The pressure of a hydraulic pins it to a rock just below the surface of the Eno River, yet even in the throes of death, its beauty not only speaks, but gives definition to the whole.
I’d be willing to bet that you wish there were times that others knew that there was more to you than just what comes to the surface… but that shouldn’t keep you from offering that beauty that’s just below the surface. Chuck Swindoll tells a moving story about an act of kindness in his sermon Loving What’s Kind. A cab driver picks up a woman who moved slowly and asked him to take the long way around to her destination. The driver took the time to ask her why. She explained she had no family and was headed to a hospice. She wasn’t expected to live much longer. In that moment, the driver decided to spend the day with this woman, and not charge her a fare.
I love this story because, much like this picture, it reminds me I don’t know the whole story. It’s so easy to make assumptions and judgments about others’ motives and actions when I have no right to. What if instead of assuming the worst I choose to be kind? What if I decide to be the person who makes a total stranger’s day? Since hearing this story I’ve wondered what if I was the person to pick up this woman. Would I have bothered to look beneath the surface?
Here are some reasons Chuck says we aren’t kind:
•Kindness takes extra time and we’re all in a hurry
•Kindness makes us put ourselves in someone else’s place and we’re all selfish (it doesn’t come naturally or easily)
•Kindness calls for compassion and we are by nature preoccupied and intense
•Kindness occasionally includes forgiveness but it’s so much easier to hold a grudge
Joyce and I have invited many others to my big family Thanksgiving throwdown (it’s a southern thing), including Chinese nationals (Duke University students) who have never experienced a traditional Thanksgiving typical of American families, though “typical” may be a bit of a stretch where my family’s concerned… it should be fun not only just to express, but share how God still sheds His grace on us and why we are thankful for it. I hope you can find a way to show some goodness and beauty from below the surface.

This image was taken during my last Snowdonia workshop only a few weeks ago. If you'd like to join me on one of these workshops in 2017 I'll be posting details shortly on my website www.gregwhitton.com, but the first two are 27-29 Jan and 24-26 Mar. Get in touch if interested.
'Surfacing' is a Pink Floyd track off the album Endless River...it seems to fit as Tryfan appears to be perhaps a submarine, surfacing from beneath the lake.

This photo was shot on the Oregon coast. Some interesting rocks were exposed on the beach where I was at.
Fantastic experience at Anthony McCall’s Solid Light Works at Dark Mofo. Well worth a visit if you are in Hobart

A journalist passes through a flooded city by boat, reporting on the devastating effects of a major flood – it’s an image that you'll most likely recognise from the news. Trees, electricity poles and roofs stick out above the surface while cars and personal belongings float along along and the city’s residents have (hopefully) fled. It’s an intense, disruptive kind of disaster that's becoming more and more common

A little rock and water therapy.
At high tide, this outcrop at Leo Carrillo gets submerged by every oncoming wave, shakes itself dry, and then gets pounded again. It stands strong, but is slowly being eroded away over the millennia.
I often wish I could watch landscapes in super-fast-forward, observing the ground morph like waves on the ocean.
