Yesterday I took this shot of my little nephew trying to focus on this beautiful butterfly,
He is only 6 years old and following his brothers footsteps,
Please view large, original is better.
Love watching landings, only thing better is aerial exchanges. I am always amazed at the speed and accuracy that is required to stick one of these landings.

Found some time, after taking down the Holiday Lights and Christmas Decorations, to scoot over to a local wildlife sanctuary; the trip paid off ;-)
Cooper’s Hawk:
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high-speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.
Once thought averse to towns and cities, Cooper’s Hawks are now fairly common urban and suburban birds. Some studies show their numbers are actually higher in towns than in their natural habitat, forests. Cities provide plenty of Rock Pigeon and Mourning Dove prey.

A very intelligent, talented and graceful woman. She excels in clubs and fire staff. A delight to watch.
I will be featuring her in my forthcoming ‘Framing Life Series’.

Focus on the astilbe for today’s Crazy Tuesday theme of “Shallow depth of focus”.
One of a few Astilbe in our garden.

My project for the week was to try taking shots showing speed and focus....I was pleased with this one ... also the composition is pretty well balanced. I used ‘burst’ mode on my camera....
The Short Eared Owl was focused on something in the grass as I focused on him. I'm sure it knew I was there as their sense of sight and hearing are so keen. Lincoln County, Missouri.

Thanks for the visit .... happy weekend :-)
When you focus on problems, you'll have more problems. When you focus on possibilities,
you'll have more opportunities.

I am using here an adapter and a lens (Helios 44M-7, a 58mm lens) that is not coupled with the camera (Leica M8). So, the camera does not help at all with focussing. Instead, I used a measuring tape, adjusted the lens accordingly and chose a narrow aperture (F11) to increase the chance of achieving good focus. It does work, though this is my first successful shot applying this method. In "real life", I think, I should use a portrait lens that is coupled to the camera.
