Now this is the kind of ripples I like: caused by the breeze from a palm tree!

Our Daily Challenge: ripples

No time to 'whip up' a ready-to-eat treat, but the air certainly did smell wonderful perfumed by these spices: cloves, vanilla bean, cinnamon and nutmeg.

MacroMondays theme: culinary delights

No, not the singer... the embroidery floss. My stash left over from years ago when counted cross-stitch was my favorite hobby. Today, it only gets used on occasion, such as when I need something multicolor for the daily challenge.

The challenge was to see how many colors we could get in a shot; they don't all show but DMC has something in the neighborhood of 400 colors of floss. I'm not sure this is all of them but it's pretty close. 8-)

Our Daily Challenge: multicolour

Our Daily Challenge for today is 'sign'... Too bad this was taken two weeks ago. It tickled my funny bone.

Our Daily Topic: sign

The old expression "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes" certainly applied to our afternoon at Cannon Beach. It went from a pretty nice day (slightly overcast with lots of sunbreaks) to pouring rain to sunbreak for sunset all in about fifteen minutes.

If it had not been actively raining I would have switched to the wide-angle for a panoramic view of this rainbow. I think I could have gotten the whole arc plus the reflected arc, to make a rainbow circle... alas, there wasn't time to play around. Needed to get some candid portraits of the folks I was with before the sun set. Maybe next time...

Played around with the sliders to pop the color of the rainbow. The noisy shot begged a distressed look, too.

HSS!
