2023 Weekly Alphabet Challenge 9/52 ~ Identical
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Florida has one of the densest concentrations of nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states, with an estimated 1,500 nesting pairs. Concentrations of nesting territories are clustered around several significant lake, river, and coastal systems throughout the state. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has monitored the population of nesting bald eagles in Florida since 1972.
The bald eagle was removed from the USFWS endangered species list and the FWC imperiled species list in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The bald eagle continues to be protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, along with the state bald eagle rule (68A-16.002, F.A.C.).
This male and female were issuing a challenge (or warning) to another Bald eagle couple which had flown into their territory!

I recently had a chance to spend a number of hours photographing Broad-Tailed hummingbirds in northern Colorado. What I have concluded, is that if these birds were any larger and carnivorous.....humans would not exist! These tiny and speedy birds are incredibly territorial and spend much of their day fighting over who should get to visit the feeders. One of my greatest photographic challenges is capturing these mighty little fighters with my camera. So much has to fall into place to be able to get 2 birds in focus in one image. This is why it takes hours of trying and waiting.
I composed this image in response to a Photography Challenge: develop a crreative image of a common object, in this case a rotary telephone.
Getting as close as I possibly can on a circuit board, harvested from a remote-controlled power outlet whose remote went belly-up, capturing examples of tiny surface-mount devices, possibly resistors. The ruler scale at the bottom is in millimeters.
Taken with the Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens at 5X magnification. At that setting, the lens has to be less than an inch (25.4mm) from the subject, making lighting difficult. The lens and camera were attached to a macro focusing rail, a necessary but very finicky device (more so at extreme magnification) used to move the camera fore and aft to focus. Given my sometimes uncooperative set of hands I have, it was a challenge, indeed.

This show of Military Odyssey celebrates it’s 17th year, with groups covering a vast period of global history.
This was an ideal opportunity to capture some vintage images for our groups October printed challenge.
The resistance.
The Challenge: Take a photo looking up.
I thought this would be easy but with grey skies etc, I didn't like any of my shots. I was out watering and casually took this pic looking up at my chimney pots, Thanks goodness the sky had cleared!!

My thanks to all who visit and comment it is appreciated.
I belong to a group on Facebook called 52Frames where each week a challenge is give for a certain type of photograph. This weeks challenge was Bokeh and this was my top choice of all the photos I took. You can see a couple that did not make the cut in the comments below, plus the photo from yesterday. I liked this one because of the composition, the softer colors and the ornamental grass seed heads looked a bit like a Fleur-de-Lis. One of the more fun challenges! Next week it will be photographing a bathroom with an extra challenge being a public bathroom which.... Mmm. Not going to happen! LOL
Our Daily Challenge ~ Hidden beauty
This beautiful bloom was only just visible through the hedge and I had to reach through to cut it (with permission from my neighbour).

Saturday Self Challenge: Surprise
When we saw our 14 year old grandson just over two months ago, he was playing pleasant tunes on the piano, Returning this week, we were amazed to hear classical music wafting through the house. Here he playing the main theme from the movie "Interstellar". A most pleasant surprise indeed.

Challenge Wales is a 72-foot Round the World yacht and owned by a Welsh-based charity. We aim to provide young people aged between 12 and 25 years the opportunity to develop their life skills such as team building
Not for me the expensive yachts and motor boats, I like working vessels. The charity is doing a great job

Well...not really. There was no challenge. Don Delaney has challenged himself to photograph at least 150 species of birds and butterflies combined. He'll easily do it, I'm sure.
My area is not as species-diverse and I tend to mainly photograph quite close to home. I like the challenge, but doubt I could meet it on those terms. I've broadened it to fit my circumstances. I'm going to try to photo 150 species in the kingdom FAUNA. Birds, Animals, Bugs.
And, because differences trump speciation for me, when the male and female have very noticeable differences, they'll count as two, and not just one. (Have to make my rules so that there is some chance of succeeding.
I'll try to keep a running total at the bottom of each description, mostly for my own use.
We seldom see Mergansers here; generally only during migration. This lone female was wandering / swimming in the lake, seeming to be searching for others of her type. We could spot no males, and no other females. Since I seldom see them at all, and even then only at long distance, this was a gift. I took hundreds of shots in various poses, including flying. I'm sure more will appear here, but this is the one that counts, in the count.
Bird #1.................Total - 1
