For #BlueSkyMonday

The Wisconsin River

Was partially frozen

But the auroras were

Blazing so very bright

Captured Nov. 11, 2025

Das Bild zeigt das Watt bei einem Sonnenuntergang mit gelb-orangem Licht, das sich auf den Wasserflächen im Watt spiegelt. Der Himmel darüber ist überwiegend blau mit verstreuten Wolken, die teilweise von der Sonne beleuchtet werden. Am Horizont sind dunklere Wolkenformationen zu sehen, die den Übergang zwischen Watt und Himmel markieren.

Thoughts are like drops of water: with our thoughts we can drown in a sea of negativity, or we can float on the ocean of life.

The photo presents a stunning macro view of several water droplets resting delicately on a vibrant green leaf. The focus is primarily on the central large droplet, which sparkles with a bright starburst reflection caused by direct sunlight hitting its curved surface. The droplet’s shape is perfectly rounded due to surface tension, and within it, fine textures of the leaf’s tiny hairs and subtle color variations are magnified. Surrounding the main droplet are smaller drops, each reflecting a mosaic of the leaf’s intricate veins and casting soft shadows. The shallow depth of field blurs the background, making the droplets appear almost three-dimensional and drawing attention to their glass-like clarity. The interplay of light, transparency, and natural green tones creates a fresh, luminous atmosphere.

Another close-up of the icy squiggles on the surface on an iceberg. What an amazing world we live in :)

Icy squiggles down the surface of a turquoise glacier. The squiggles look almost silver/metallic.

#AlphabetChallenge #photography #StreetPhotography #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A bright pink child's bicycle, complete with a white seat and white tires, lies on its side on a textured, brown-tiled pavement. The bike is positioned against a large, dark blue, textured metal door, which takes up most of the background. A thin, horizontal silver bar is visible across the bottom of the blue door. The contrast between the vibrant pink bike and the deep blue wall is striking.

Abandoned cottage on the Isle of Skye for the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved.

Easter 1980, decades before the island was "discovered" by "content creators" and became a must visit location.

Attention Alphabetters!
Mon 17 Nov is the start of Week U and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Unloved. So that’s pics of things that are run down and/or neglected. We’re heading into the difficult letters so expect themes to be harder as choices are limited!
Use the # below and have fun😊

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

Gold leaf, walking feet

Last night's autumn light

Red, orange and yellow traffic lights with white streetlights are spreading long reflections on the wet sidewalk and partial view of road with sidewalk. Scattered yellow autumn leaves are illuminated to gold on the ground. There are footprint indentations in the cement near orange and red reflections.
