If I'm being honest... I'm not just sure what I'm doing here, but, here I am, nontheless.
Looking into the water,
Seeing rocks below,
Plants & sky above...
And watching the surface
Bend & blend these realities
I'm reminded of the
Beauty & interconnectedness
Of all things,
The limitlessness
Of perspective.

House Finches are the most represented birds at my feeding area... (the House Sparrows are catching up.)
This isn't a great picture, but periodically I see *Creamsicle* colored House Finches!
It's fun when *watching* really pays off!
Apparently the way they absorb nutrients impacts color...?

I like Turkey Vultures, too.
Walking yesterday I saw a large troupe of Black Vultures sitting in close proximity to one another sunning themselves in trees, & on the ground along a creek, cornering a dead deer.
90~ish.
There wasn't *one* Turkey Vulture.
Didn't realize they were so exclusive.

An ominously surreal, gusty winter evening sky haunting the bare, leafless trees as manifested in the reflection of a slowly bubbling, indecisively surfaced stream...

I like this *A LOT*
The colors, pattern... yes!
I take mostly abstract pictures, but of the water, & it's patterns of reflectivity, & clarity, ripples/waves...etc.
Reminds me quite a bit of an image I captured just the other day.
Everything is made from the same interference patterns it seems!

When I put my ear to Stella's side... it almost sounds, as her motor starts, like first rumblings that come from the Ark of the Covenant at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Something supernatural is happening in there!

Bare trees, blue sky above... fallen leaves below... & a moody, curved, moving mirror of a stream between.

Stella & Eleanor will each crawl into the bathroom sink to make their observations, record their cat data!
I'm their personal property, & thus, very much their business at all times.... LOL!
Such is life!

Yellow sunlight bends & folds through ripples of a running stream flowing over red & clay colored bedrock, while a few small small waves reflect the bright sky on the water's surface...

Very sorry for your loss.
Sadly my own mother passed away last week, & I took this photograph of a slowly moving stream.
I like to look into the water, & see what's there... above, below, right on the surface.
There is always a surreal quality to reality surrounding loss.
Until we meet again...🌻

There's a lot of luck involved when it comes to actually capturing the essence of cats in photos, or videos, & thus it's extremely gratifying when an amusing moment or likeness is caught.
Eleanor's posturing & the build-up to her "assault" on Stella just makes me laugh out loud.
(Excuse the mess😉)

Towards the banks of some streams, in some select, quiet places, the surface of the nearly still water moves almost like smoke, magnifying & distorting the reflective sheen like a funhouse mirror.
