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

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.

run DMC

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

...wait five minutes

...wait five minutes

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!
