The cedars lining the banks of the Pottawatomi River at Jones Falls hold a firm grip onto the rocks - unlike me, who had climbed down to a precarious perch with my tripod on a small ledge at the top of the cliff to get this 5 second exposure. This is the "shoulder" at the upper part of the falls - the bigger drop is just to the right of this image.
The grip is a part of a photo but the rest is pure graphics. I would love to hear what YOU see as the product that the bolts are being tightened.

In the summer the old fishing village of Grip is still used as a holiday destination for the families that lived there until the 1970s. And it is possible to take the boat out there, which has one or two daily departure in the summers.
The boat takes one hour each way.
The island is only 0,04 km2 large, more or less flat and still has forty-something houses. So while it is very remote, the population density was quite high!
These pencil grips help the grandchildren when doing their schoolwork or simply drawing!

A great egret was successful in nabbing this fish from the pond, but its grip on the fish was a bit tenuous. It soon lost its grip (see next post or in first comment). Despite having lost its quarry the egret managed to retrieve the fish, only to be attached by a pelican. Not sure it every did get this meal down its throat.

This Time I just tested the Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz Primoplan 1.9/75mm neo attached to the Sony ILCE-6300 (Alpha 6300). I really like those BROOKS Devices! Shot at F=1.9 and processed to analogue Mode.

This was a female Eastern Amberwing taken on August of 2017.
It was right outside work as a matter of fact (the flowers were part of the buildings landscaping).
I'm glad I bring the camera to work, not only for after hours walks in the park across the way but also to catch little seconds like this.
Panther chameleons are zygodactylous: on each foot, the five toes are fused into a group of two and a group of three, giving the foot a tongs-like appearance. These specialized feet allow the panther chameleon a tight grip on narrow branches. Each toe is equipped with a sharp claw to gain traction on surfaces such as bark when climbing. The claws make it easy to see how many toes are fused into each part of the foot — two toes on the outside of each front foot and three on the inside.
Their eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles and function like a gun turret. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously; their eyes move independently from each other. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their bodies. When prey is located, both eyes can be focused in the same direction, giving sharp stereoscopic vision and depth perception.
Few of us who are not working with an eagle center will ever have the privilege of getting within touching distance of an eagle. If we did, one of the marvelous aspects we would inspect is their four talons on each leg as seen extended in this photo I shot last week.
Most of us have observed an eagle either carrying a good sized fish or other prey that he is taking to a seat on the other side of the restaurant to eat in peace.
Though there are special circumstances when an eagle can carry heavier prey, most scientists estimate the physical make-up of an eagle makes anything over a half dozen pounds very difficult to lift.
Scientists measure grip strength using various terms such as pounds per square inch (PSI). One of the testing instruments they use is a dynamometer.
The average hand grip strength of an adult man is measured around 70 PSI, a woman typically measures in the mid-40s (unless they were raised on a farm and milked cows).
Researchers at HawkQuest in Colorado estimate an eagle’s grip strength is at least 10 times that of the human hand which enables them to pick up prey and lock their talons into it as they fly.

You and I
filled the earth
and it overflowed
with lives not lived
just wind in grass
and through leaves
dead but not fallen
we shiver and shake
and loosen our grip
our youth slipping silently
away

Most of the country is in the grip of a brutal cold spell even Georgia has temps in the single digits with high winds and extreme wind chill!
Bundle up and thanks for the visit my Flickr friends!
I don't know how long this boulder has been there, but standing under it still makes ne nervous. This is at the top of a deep crevice, and I just love how the boulder managed to drop and get caught in such a way to look like a tooth. I guess it's always a good idea to look up while hiking through those cracks!

Grip is an archipelago and deserted fishing village in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located about 14 km (9 mi) northwest of the town of Kristiansund in the Norwegian Sea. The Grip Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in Norway, is located on one of the islands of Grip. The historic Grip Stave Church is located on the island of Gripholmen. From 1897 until 1964, the islands were part of Grip Municipality, but the islands were merged into Kristiansund Municipality in 1964. Source: Wikipedia (archipelago) & Wikipedia (municipality )
