A juvenile Green Heron pauses in his inching along of this tree branch, working to maintain a stable grip.
... What you see is a crescent wrench, fridge, a brass and marble table, and a white chair. I use the white chair as a form of reflecting light upwards to hit the bottom of the wrench.

Grip of a barbell with free weights (made in Canada) in the background. I have not used my free weights in 20 years - maybe I will be motivated to do more than just photograph them now that I have dug them out :-)
An immature Rose-breasted Grosbeak has a rather tight grip on a small branch. He sat there for the longest time just looking around allowing me to photograph him.

Thought the leg arragement on this fungified yellow dung fly was amazing! Shot of the fly in comments (viewable large) too!

Grizzly bears prefer to eat the fattiest parts of salmon that contain the most calories, including the skin, brain and eggs. Here, a grizzly bear, sitting in the river, holds a salmon between its claws, gets a firm grip on a piece of salmon skin with its teeth and pulls hard to remove the skin.

A juvenile osprey lands at fix point with his landing gear wide open. Matter of fact, it is part of their training before leaving the original nest. The tree youngsters are getting few tests before their parents grant them permission to leave and make their own families. Everyone is very serious about what they have to accomplish. It seems that it is one of their secrets to survive.
Don't think there was much chance of this trout getting away from this osprey.
A very tight crop as just about caught this at the edge of the photo.
I met this young man and his family at the fishing piers out at Robert Moses State Park yesterday (just across the Causeway from Captree). I liked his look and tattoos and he graciously agreed to let me take his portrait when I asked. It was right after this photo was taken that he went to check his crabbing nets and found the mother crab holding her baby. He immediately released the crabs back into the water because the mother was losing her grip on her baby. Awwwwww....... what a nice guy!
I"m taking these portraits to show my photography instrructor to ascertain if the errors I see can be corrected in a program called Photoshop Elements. I think it's time I graduated from Picnik. Or maybe I should have used the flash.....
