Cop Car's 2/24/2012 post has this fabulous video: The Secret Life of Ice by Edward Aites, a photographer and videographer from Seattle. Aites used a macro lens and cross-polarizing filters to create this time-lapse view of ice and submitted the result to
Science Friday. Ice!? Who knew?
This morning while I was waiting for the tea kettle to boil, I noticed the blue ON light shining through the upside down jar of the last of my mesquite honey. It reminded me a bit of Aites's video, and I grabbed my camera.
Yeah! Cop Car's icy post is something else, so to speak. Really like your blue photo -- beauty everywhere and every which way if we just look.
ReplyDeleteME--You remind me that I still have a couple of quarts of honey from my Elder Brother's bees when he lived in Santa Fe. His "girls" gathered mostly from chamisa, as I recall. I'm not a big honey eater; but, I come from a long line of bee keepers. My mother preferred the honey from the bees that both sets of my grandparents kept - who gathered from white clover and lespedeza.
ReplyDeleteNice photo you got!

P.S. Thanks for the mention, ME, and thanks for the comment, Joared.
Joared: it is....everything is beautiful in its own way, i just get so distracted i forget to LOOK!!! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteCop (or should I call you Car?): that honey in your pantry will be worth its weight in gold soon. fascinated to learn you come from beekeepers! i'm thinking of the geometric shapes in honeycombs and the bees' aeronautical ability and wondering if that's part of where you got it!
Very beautiful -- another reminder of the astonishing variety in the very small, and in the very large (e.g. universe), that we would miss if not for images like this, not to mention in the everyday that we just overlook (your picture). Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteThanks....and your photographs bear witness of this 1000x better than mine. Onward! m.e.
ReplyDeleteVery cool video... LOL cool... get it? Ice... cool.... oh well.
ReplyDeleteyaas....I Ceee!!! do you have any up there yet in the frozen north?
ReplyDeleteXE--No. In my childhood I equated bees with stings to my feet (when I stepped on the little dears). I recall one footfall that netted me three stings (and, sadly of course, three dead bees). My Younger Brother is allergic to bee stings - having to carry his epi pen.
