Designs in a Rock
This rock is naturally formed, creating designs. Â Often, those white bands or stripes, called veins, are quartz or calcite. Quartz filled the fissures and cracks in rocks. The calcite was formed from the precipitation of calcium carbonate from water running over and through the rocks.

Glimpse of Sunset at Baker Beach
Baker Beach has one of the best sunset views in San Francisco as the sun reflects on the bridge. While we were there on a foggy evening, a slight break in the clouds let in some light. Swimmers were in the water watching the light in the clouds.
Sunset light illuminated the clouds over the Golden Gate Bridge, providing a surreal image.

Flamingo Reflections
A new study reveals that flamingos are not passive filter feeders but active hunters of prey. Instead of chasing their diverse diet, they create disturbances in the water that force the food items to come to them, a much more efficient approach.
Here is one trying to create a disturbance in the water at Sylvan Heights Bird Park, but instead has colorful reflections.
A Pair of American Flamingos
Flamingos feed on everything suitably sized in shallow water, from brine shrimp to insect larvae and insects themselves. Their famous color comes from carotenoids in blue-green algae, which they either eat directly or consume through aquatic algal-feeding animals.

Here is one striding by the water at the North Carolina Zoo.
