Jos,
Wow that pinky is amazing!
Here's an inverted ginko tree
and a couple of kotare keeping a beady eye out for snacks below
-
Jos,
Bee gone

Trying to figure that shot out. It’s a reflection, right? And the shot itself is inverted, bringing the tree right way up?
Great shot.

I love how the water's increased the contrast and saturated the colours. I can't look at it the other way up just now as the iPad will not allow it!
-
Jos,
Yes Ben, it's a great trick for a strange new world type photo. Puddles work really well too. :)
I made a wee vid today, rainy day amusement ( watch it on Youtube larger with music if you are keen) :)

Indeed I could! Didn't think of that. ;-)

Think I posted this once before; inverted from Singapore a couple of years back.
Yours is pretty amazing though.
Love the ants. The circle of life/death. ;-)

Your Hymenoptera Opera even has an Anty climax!

Is that the full photo? It's messing with my head as it looks like there are different vertical layers of reflections - is it several different water pools?
-
Jos,
Hi Kyle, it's just one photo and there is jut one pond that curves around
-
Jos,
This morning's walkies to workies along the river

Impressive, the (white-faced) herons' wingbeats more or less in synch but especially the ragged echo of their silhouettes in the dark cloud perfectly placed above them - magic!
-
Red dawn yesterday morning, precursor to the few mm of frontal rain around lunchtime as the weather system headed offshore from Gisborne, to build strength as it swung in against the eastern South Islanders today ...
First the wide image, with late autumnal foliage of the walnut tree at right, updating the late summer one from the same spot.And the tall image, featuring Metasequoia glyptostroboides = 'dawn redwood' in the dawn, with its remnant seed-bearing foliage.

Jos,
Maate, stunners! :)
I must confess that is a blend of 4 photos all taken within minutes of each other, but that exact moment never happened, despite a pic!
:)
Here's this morning's shag ripple for you. This did happen. -
ChrisW, in reply to

Aha - perhaps I shoulda suspected that form of magic, but no ...
Those ripples could well be mesmeric.Some corresponding colour from me.
-
Jos,
Keep that power flowing!
-
Another pied shag, Saturday morning on the riverbank. I call this one bio-mimicry - not all the bird-shapes are birds.
Incidentally showing I live in a natural gaslands - those bubbles and faint ripples from their abrupt arrival at the surface are from natural gas seeping from the rocks below.
-
Jos,
Lovely shaggery/mimmicry.
and all flatulants blame the rocks.
That is a very nice shot by the way!
-
More BioMimicry, an hour earlier.
I haven't seen a pukeko wander out on the willow log when another bird is there too - this time an oddly patterned little shag is drying its wings.And a few seconds later, the pukeko adjusts its angle for the walnut foliage to consider its next move, while another non-bird flies by, drifting up on the tide.
-
Jos,
So it's all go where you live then?

ChrisW, in reply to

All go!? Truly hectic pace of life around here! Why just the other day - five days ago in fact - probably this same pukeko on the willow log, did that little bowing to the water thing, not narcissistically, nor to shit like shags do to lighten the load before takeoff, but about to use its legs and all body muscles to help fling itself in the air, flap like mad
and it was gone, past the miniature wind-wand, leaving the imprint of its wing-wind on the water behind it. At first I was a little disappointed I'd missed the photo of that spectacular takeoff I had to put in words here, but then I saw the bio-mimicry of that airborne pukeko again ...
-
A few hours before, the walnut tree is busy shedding its autumn leaves, two of them caught mid-fall against the river,
and one of them a scraggly compound leaf with legs and low-speed glide performance even poorer than the pukeko’s.

Save it to my desktop and turn it upside down and it becomes blindingly clear. Look at it upside down again and I'm struggling :) Great photo.
