The things you find in the word 'leasing'

Should it be

Blue, gray, green???

So many choices...

So little time...

I am thinking of painting my house Orange

Merry Yellow Christmas!

And the other is blue

Orange is one of the colors I am exploring

The Ocean - Dirty as Dishwater?

This was taken at Ocean Shores this morning, the bubble is from the muddy ocean water foamy stuff...not exactly foggy or low contrast (that was photographed on the way home) but I have never seen an ocean bubble so big!

I visited Thomas at work today, and he played with some Fire for me!

Refraction and Reflection

I was out in my backyard this afternoon when the rain began to pour
from the heavens like it did for Noah's flood. I had my camera with me,

of course, and remembered that raindrops reflect light when you

photograph them with a flash. I took several photos and the one

above was my best effort at creating something with minor interest.

While it was still raining hard, the sun came out with an amazing intensity.
Knowing that rain and sun together are the primary ingredients for
rainbows, I rushed to the front yard to see one of the most dramatic

rainbows I have seen in years.

For a time, you could even see the double rainbow.

I thought, "ah ha! The perfect reflection image!"

And then I realized that it was a refraction, not a reflection. A refraction
is when light bends and morphs into another form. Read about how
refraction works in this post: http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/rainbow1.htm

The rain left large amounts of rain in the street and along the gutters.

One last chance. A rainbow reflected in a rain puddle.

Reflection and refraction in one.

Anyone want to make Tequila? This is an agave plant in the Volunteer Park Conservatory.

Reflecting along the river

I couldn't chose which of these black and white stumps I liked better. I am leaning towards the first as its less cluttered. But I do like the layers of reflection and the thin boarder of the bank in the second.
