.Vintage Ruby Red bottle made by T. C. Wheaton Glass Factory, Millvale, N.J. Wheaton was a pharmacist who started a company, in 1888, to manufacture bottles for his profession.
Snapped this shot of a Laughing Gull riding the wind over our heads in Rodanthe, NC. I was amused to find that the backlight from the overcast sky created an X-Ray like effect on the gull’s trailing wing and tail feathers, making the overlapping pattern of the layered feathers visible.
This will probably be my last urban shot for a while, I think I've got it out of my system whatever it was I was looking to do :D
Been a nice change, and there's something very cool about the angles and sharp lines of modern architecture against soft skies, I will be back.... but I think my heart is in getting my feet wet in waterfalls or trying to capture the morning mist :)
Looking forward to the autumn and winter now, although I love summer, for photography it's hard to capture anything interesting :) Bring me back my misty mornings and frosty ground :)
Glass ornament, water and sand.
Given that it was taken on my phone through the shop window, it came out alright!!
I liked the way the light from a south window cast a colored shadow through the translucent tip of the frame.
Translucent forms
that hold me spellbound
nothing there but emptiness
yet in that form I see so much
imagination set free to play
meaning not yet focused.
I was originally trying this out for the next Macro Mondays group theme, Translucent, but then I realised I'd made a rookie mistake.
The main subject is a translucent milk glass button. It's standing in front of a Victorian bottle and a fluted glass perfume bottle, both of which are translucent. For good measure, they're all on top of a sheet of opaque perspex, which is itself (you've guessed it) translucent. I was feeling pleased with myself until I realised that the button had two things between it and the light ... so it didn't actually look translucent at all. Oops! Still, waste not, want not, as my mother used to say. :)
Apologies for being behind with commenting. Flickr was playing up so much yesterday that I gave up on it. I'll catch up tomorrow!
Our woodpeckers and squirrels don't seem to like the acorns on these deciduous acorn trees, they largely ignore them, and fight over the acorns on the evergreen California live oaks. I'm assuming they are not indigenous.
I know there's an acorn-y pun in there somewhere, but just can't think of it, right now!

~Happy colorful weekend for you All ~
thanks for visiting !
happy sunday ..i am on the way to the zoo ..the sun comes out after two gray days:-) ) ..see you later.
With the Sun falling on the San Fransisco Bay, and this Seagull's flight into it's light, helped me appreciate in my heart, that we live in a very special place! Of all the things I saw out in the world today that dissappointed me, because that's how alot of people are these days, this Sundown helped me let it go; And made me the Freebird!
Saturn’s rings are perhaps the most recognized feature of any world in our solar system. Cassini spent more than a decade examining them more closely than any spacecraft before it.
The rings are made mostly of particles of water ice that range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to as large as mountains. The ring system extends up to 175,000 miles (282,000 kilometers) from the planet, but for all their immense width, the rings are razor-thin, about 30 feet (10 meters) thick in most places.
From the right angle you can see straight through the rings, as in this natural-color view that looks from south to north. Cassini obtained the images that comprise this mosaic on April 25, 2007, at a distance of approximately 450,000 miles (725,000 kilometers) from Saturn. The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.
