This was intended to be part of the Stand Up for Peace Challenge last week but it took me a bit to figure out :D It's about the best homage I could to the Indian Holi Festival. For those that don't know and in short it's basically a festival to celebrate love. After I thought about the challenge a bit, I got to thinking: standin up for peace is awesome, but even better if you just applied this to all aspects of your life. Stop hating on others and stop hating on yourself. If everyone took a grip more time putting others before their own insecurities, then maybe there would be no need to stand up for peace. Maybe we would already have achieved it.
After the catch, the fish is repositioned to go down head first. I watched this Great Egret fishing for about an hour (more like him staring at the water and me waiting) before I finally got the shot I wanted. (And he got the fish he wanted.)

Good morning!! My second week taking part in macro Monday. I'll admit, I almost backed out. Not sure why I'm so insecure about these type of images but there is that little voice of doubt that never seems to go away. Anyways...I'm always telling people to just post what they love even if it isn't everyones cup of tea. So here I am...posting some peely paint, little rust, and weathered old wood!! :-)
Hope you're all having a lovely start to the week! HMM!!

The triangular textured grip on an old M42 teleconverter. Struggled a little to find a subject that I could light or show off the angles of a triangle, I do have a glass prism but for the life couldn’t find it! Lit with a blue gel.
HMM!
Here you can clearly see the osprey is precariously holding onto the bass only with its beak, as its talons are clearly wrapped around the tree branch. Will this grip hold?
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Making sure he has a good grip on his prey, the Northern Hawk Owl sinks his talons into the vole before flying off to cache his catch in a nearby tree.
When a Black Bear (Ursus americanus) spots and/or smells potential food, it can become obsessed with getting it. Here a tiny cub, high up in the trees on a rainy morning, detects something in the crown of the dead tree. He just can't resist literally sticking his nose in it. In his quest for food, he seems to be stepping into oblivion, with no where to go and nothing to grip. However, his little claws actually found a hold on the branch. From the scratch marks on that branch, looks like he wasn't the first bear to venture forth up there.
Caution...when someone tells you to get a grip...apparently around their neck is not what they meant:)))
An Osprey is shaking off water and dirt while keeping a firm grip on the Kokanee Salmon.
The background here looks very much like fall colors and foliage. Although there were some foliage in the scene, the large parts were bare ground and debris. The affect was created by the characteristics of a super telephoto lens.

Coming to grips is a process longer, more intricate, than I thought. I know now, in the grand scheme, no one could love her as deeply as I had. Others might try, more likely throwing out that word, lures, or various sweet nothings in an ultimately meaningless bit to get their phallus moist, give off the appearance of succession in the short-term. It'll feel ecstatic; blissful, even. But, it'll ultimately be fleeting, everlastingly pointless, and considerably empty.
They couldn't understand her as I had, and even then, the surface seemed barely scratched in the realm of understanding. They'll fall for her body, words she may flippantly throw out, and nothing more. But, they could never have the courage to fall for her mind; her soul. One of a kind. Never knowing which way the ride will take you, but you're just happy to tag along because... well, that's devotion above all. Doesn't matter what form of relationship you're in. Devotion is hard to come by and you won't find it by searching for it. It'll come when you least expect it. And when it's gone, it's gone. Try as one may to get some form of it re-established, it'll never be as it was.
And that's what I've needed to tell myself.
It'll never be as it was.
Picard: "...but, you know, Number One. Some relationships just can't work."
Riker: "Yes, probably true. She'll be difficult to forget."

Adult male Bald Eagle hopping up out of the nest. There might be from what I heard, iat least one chick this year. I'll go back in a couple weeks to see. Upper Bucks, PA.
Out and about today in Northumberland - hello, Spring - and saw an early rhododendron flowering. And then had some fun playing around with it. Thought this processing gave it a 'ghostly hand appearance' which I rather liked. I am very easily pleased.
