Have you had much rain this winter? Around here the water levels come up and that green slimy stuff goes away until the water starts warming up during summer.
I've noticed some of them honkers flyin over recently. In pairs, but no flocks.

I found em Darol. These were buried in my old HD file.
I like the first one. It's of a green flash. It's sometimes happens when conditions are just right....... not an every day thing. It's a bit of green that briefly appears around the upper edges or directly over the sun. Usually see em in fall and winter when the air is cool and clear. The green flash happens for just a couple of seconds right as the last part of the sun disappears. You will never see one when the entire sun is still visible on the horizon
............ and staring at the sun isn't a real bright thing to do anyway. That's why I use a camera.
I saw a blue one once. I think those are pretty rare.
The other two are just distortion. I took these shots seconds apart and changed the exposure a little. It's always hit and miss. I think the distortion happens in the same sort of way as heat waves blur things on a hot highway.

Ocean about 5 mins but the sun sets to the right behind the hill so that ocean is prob 1/2 hour away

We are still having a severe drought. Supposed to get a little rain today, but not enough to make much difference.
Ya noticed, no way man made down there. To access them you'd need ropes from the top prpbably. It would be fun to chek'em out though.
I was thinkin along the lines of ancient cave dwellers or the way SW Indians that made homes in cliffs. Besides, rope was made from hemp, right. .......and people with hemp would do that kinda stuff.
Just seemed odd that both those slopes had 'pock marks' at the same elevations in the rock layers and they are a long ways apart.
Wow, sorry to hear that. I though that was all over and you guys were gettin wet.
It will take a while to catch up. It has been hot and dry here for 3 years.

This unedited image was taken with a tripod mounted in the Pacific Ocean during a winter sunset in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada. Taken at the moment a rock was thrown into the water.
What Makes This a Photo of the Day? I find this photograph a lot of funand clever. Though the elements are simplewater, sun, and a splash effecttogether they create the illusion of fire.

I wish I was strong enough to throw a rock that big into the water.
