I keep hoping to see a purple Sunrise or Sunset. They have been seen and photographed recently by others. The purple colouring is a result of high altitude aerosols from volcanic eruptions scattering blue light..

Red Sky in the Morning
Yesterday morning we went walkabout at just the right time to see a beautiful Sunrise

Monday Mystery
Another week has flashed by so here we are with a new Monday Mystery photograph.
First, last week I showed this close crop
which Dave and Adrian correctly identified as part of
a pine cone. The slightly unusual colouring was a result of it being very wet after a heavy shower.
Thanks as always to all who made a guess.
This week it may be easier to identify what this is a close look at
If you would like to make a guess please leave it in the comments.
They will be revealed, along with the answer, next Monday.

How Did She Do That?
I found Penny's identity disc in her bedding along with ...
... the remains of the reasonably strong split ring which had connected the disc to a D ring on her collar. It must have taken quite a lot of force to open it out that much. My guess is she caught a claw in it while having a scratch. In that case I would have expected her to kick up a fuss as she has a very low pain threshold.

Monday Mystery
Last weeks seems to have been more than a little difficult
was part of
my aroma diffuser. A few drops of lavender, honeysuckle (or whatever you fancy) fragrance oil in 200ml of water is slowly turned to a mist by ultrasonic vibrations. There are also colour changing LED lights. The paper towel is there to catch any condensation drops when the top is removed to top up the water level.
Will this weeks close up be any easier to identify?
Any guesses left in the comments will be revealed next Monday.

A Splash of Colour
Having updated the operating system in the MacBook I was culling some of the apps I never seem to use. One I had forgotten about was Color Strokes so I fired it up to remind me how it worked. It is a very easy to use program for converting a colour photo to grey scale and then manually picking out some areas to restore to their original colours, often termed colour popping.
A few examples
I was enjoying using the app so much I had to force myself to stop.

Monday Mystery
Many thanks to all who had a go at identifying
from last Monday. It was indeed a melon,
a Galia Melon which appears to have very similar markings to a Cantaloupe. That was the first I had tried as I had to give up my usual Honeydew (too high in Potassium for me). The Galia was lovely, juicy and slightly sweet - delicious. Now a firm, or should I say soft, favourite here.
Right, fancy trying this one? What is this part of?
Once again any guesses left in the comments will be held over until next Monday.
