One eye sees, the other feels. – Paul Klee
The following “what is it?!?” weekly picture, the fourth for this year, is now ready for your guessing pleasure. Do you know? Can you tell?
What Is It?!?
What Was That?!? Last Week’s Picture (Week 3/52)
Last week’s picture proved to be quite a mystery. Jude commented, “This looks like a rock pool with plants and foliage!” Alas, not a rock pool with plants or foliage. Preeti asked, “a close up of some baubles inside an aquarium perhaps…” Not baubles in an aquarium, but you are correct that the mystery subject is in water. “I am thinking an aquarium type of something as well….” Yvette said. Preeti’s other guess, “A vegetable being washed in a bowl of water is it?” Not a vegetable. makeupqueenqd mused, “A bugs legs in water?” Not bugs legs either.
Over in Facebook land, the guesses just wouldn’t stop, including stag beetle, bird, drawing, a bird in a nest, shrimp, narwhal, fish or snake, bird feather, “looks like some type of root system to me, like maybe of a green onion,” kelp, pebbles, roots, wetlands, Spongebob (LOL), praying mantis, crawfish, potatoes, soap suds, wet cat hair, wet fibers, root starter, fluoride, mildew, hair in the drainage … I finally gave two clues, “You would have a hard time finding this in Italy on vacation. You would love this on a hot summer day.” Sue finally guessed it, even though at first she thought, “but wait, I’m sure Italy has freezers!! baaahaaahaaaa” …
So what in the heck was it?!? What you saw were ice cubes in water in high definition.

Sparks from a barbecue?

Kind of! Although we weren’t cooking anything. 😉

Looks like the trails of a sparkler when it’s moving, or the embers popping from a campfire. I have some pictures of campfires in the teepee that look just like that.

Embers popping from the fire is correct! I was experimenting with a slow shutter speed and was fascinated by the flying streaks of embers. Too cool! Or should I say too hot?!? 😉

Inside the teepee, I was always afraid it would catch the whole thing on fire, but never a problem. The embers die almost instantly, before they have a chance to light anything up. And it made great pictures 🙂
