Or is it tension at the surface… I thought this poor fellow was going to get eaten by a fish but he made it back to the bank

Some maple leaves rest on the surface of a pond along coastal Maine during a visit in 2015. I adore the coast of Maine though seldom visit. And I love fall color, of which New England has an abundance. This year my fall photography excursions have been lacking, but looking through the archives I found this colorful gem. The vibrant maple leaves gently floated on the surface of the pond. The ripples in the reflection around the leaves show them resting on the surface tension, distorting the water's surface like a mass distorts space-time in an illustrative drawing. The blue sky reflects in the wavy surface intermixed with dark source tree shadows, while lurking below other leaves that have come to rest at the bottom reach up from the depth. And on top of it all round water droplets hitch a ride on the leaf rafts before they inevitably join the collective water. I hope to return to New England for fall one of these days.

The fastest changing area of the Norris Geyser Basin. The porcelain color of these springs is due to siliceous sinter that is brought to the surface by hot water.

Some photos of my old MOC. I already posted one photo of this vehicle 10 years ago. These I found on my brickshelf (I totally forgot about this site).

A property of liquids such that their surfaces behave like a thin, elastic film. Surface tension is an effect of intermolecular attraction, in which molecules at or near the surface undergo a net attraction to the rest of the fluid, while molecules not near the surface are attracted to other molecules equally in all directions and undergo no net attraction. Because of surface tension, the surface of a liquid can support light objects (such as water beetles on the surface of a pond). Surface tension is responsible for the spherical shape of drops of liquid; spheres minimize the surface area of the drop and thus minimize surface tension.

Pekachilla (San Sebastien - Spain)

spotted betta fish. Highly territorial by nature, these fish need to be kept separate so they don't hurt each other.

Clear Edinburgh crystal glasses on the off-white work surface. The reading lamp that lit the arrangement was turned to blue light which made it look more B&W.

 

Yep, showers continue in Kingston.

A male great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) just barely breaks the surface with his dorsal and caudal (tail) fins. A gull sits on the surface in the shark's path.

 

While I never saw any of the sharks make a concerted effort to attempt to grab a gull, their presence definitely seemed to pique the curiosity of a few of the sharks enough to get them to swim towards them a few times. The gulls had the sense to fly off when the sharks got close.

Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.
