Damselfly grasping his mate by the back of her head - she is out of the plane of focus behind and below him.
Adults in breeding plumage are mostly blackish, with blue eyes, vivid blue throat skin surrounded by a buffy band, and whiskery white feathers on the head, neck, and shoulders. Nonbreeding adults are uniformly black. Juveniles are brownish overall, with the throat skin surrounded by buffy plumage.
Forages by diving (with a quick upward leap) and swimming underwater, catching prey by driving it toward the surface, then grasping it with the bill, or by seizing prey from the bottom or from undersea structures. Often forages in large flocks, mixed with other seabird species and sometimes marine mammals. Breeds in very dense colonies.
The largest cormorant on the Pacific Coast, Brandt’s Cormorant is an expert diver that can swim deeper than 200 feet in pursuit of fish and shellfish.
A Sharp-shinned Hawk sits so still under a warm early sun. With patience this smallest of Hawks in North America just might score something edible. In this incidence, I watched this American Robin sized Hawk, while thinking it must be enjoying the warmth from the sun. He didn't even seem to care about my camera lens peaking out the window no more then thirty feet away. I only captured but a few shots when all of a sudden the hawk took off on wing swiftly, thrusting its breast and talons out forward while grasping a tiny unsuspecting Chestnut-backed Chickadee that was flying unsuspectingly right towards it. It all happened in the blink of an eye. The The Sharp-shinned Hawk took his prey to the ground where he began to pluck it so he could enjoy his meal.
I am not really sure if this is an ambush or assassin bug? Does anyone know? My first thought was that it is a member of the former, however it lacks the typical crab-like grasping foreleg.
Assassin bugs are another diverse group of insects belonging the family Reduviidae (suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera). Over 7000 species have been described, most of which are predatory. Most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable; they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum).
Ambush bugs belong to the insect subfamily Phymatinae, They are called ambush bugs feed because of their habit of lying in wait for prey. They are successful in this mode of hunting because they have superb camouflage and crab-like grasping forelegs (which I do not see here?). They are able to capture prey ten or more times their own size.
You REALLY need to view on black!
As the tide comes in, it feels like the trees are reaching for the sky... grasping for something to pull them out as they're drowning.
The tide is relentless as it washes in, changing the landscape one grain of sand at a time. Eventually, these trees will succumb not to rot but to the merciless grip of the ocean.
Yet they fight, even after death, to hold on.
Technical stuff about the photo:
Note to self: don't go right at high tide!
I couldn't resist, though, given that it was overcast. I need to get a solid ND filter that'll fit my cokin P... I'm thinking a .9 or a 1.2. That'll give me a little bit more leeway with the changing light and give me a few extra stops for that nice ghostly effect.
I was trying to drag the shutter out for as long as possible, but what started with 4 minute exposures turned into 15 second exposures in a matter of 5 minutes. It's crazy how quickly the sun comes up (even with heavy cloud cover).
This image was 105 seconds at f/11, 100ISO. I would have loved to have run it for twice that, maybe three times. I want those clouds to be just streaks. I'll get there.
This Saker falcon had its eye on its prey and was just beginning an extremely fast dive. It was only when I saw this image that I realised it had started its dive upside down!
A great favourite with falconers, the saker falcon (Falco cherrug) is a large, powerful bird of prey with an exceptionally broad wingspan for its size. Like other falcons, this bird is equipped with sharp, curved talons for grasping prey, while the strong, hooked beak is used to tear its victim's flesh.
The red panda has no relation to the giant panda even though both are indigenous to China, often inhabit the same territory, and both have evolved to feed on bamboo.
Chengdu Giant Panda Research and Breeding Center, China
—from Wikipedia
The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also known as the lesser panda, is a small mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has dense reddish-brown fur with a black belly and legs, white-lined ears, a mostly white muzzle and a ringed tail. Its head-to-body length is 51–63.5 cm (20.1–25.0 in) with a 28–48.5 cm (11.0–19.1 in) tail, and it weighs between 3.2 and 15 kg (7.1 and 33.1 lb). It is well adapted to climbing due to its flexible joints and curved semi-retractile claws. The red panda was formally described in 1825. The two recognised subspecies, the Himalayan and the Chinese red panda, genetically diverged about 250,000 years ago. The red panda's place on the evolutionary tree has been debated, but modern genetic evidence places it in close affinity with raccoons, weasels, and skunks. It is not closely related to the giant panda, which is a bear, though both possess elongated wrist bones or "false thumbs" used for grasping bamboo. The evolutionary lineage of the red panda (Ailuridae) stretches back around 25 to 18 million years ago, as indicated by extinct fossil relatives found in Eurasia and North America. The red panda inhabits coniferous forests as well as temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, favoring steep slopes with dense bamboo cover close to water sources. It is solitary and largely arboreal. It feeds mainly on bamboo shoots and leaves, but also on fruits and blossoms. Red pandas mate in early spring, with the females giving birth to litters of up to four cubs in summer. It is threatened by poaching as well as destruction and fragmentation of habitat due to deforestation. The species has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2015. It is protected in all range countries.
I walked a path I trusted the way one trusts an old friend. It wasn’t perfect — I always knew it was fragile — but I believed that if I moved with care, if I honored its delicacy, it would hold me. For a long time, it did. The rocky shore beside it felt like a sanctuary, a place where the wind carried familiar voices and the waves spoke in rhythms I understood. Even when storms rolled in, I felt safe there, as if the world could rage around me and I would still be protected.
But one day the storm didn’t pass. It gathered strength, howling for hours, tearing at the coastline and shaking the ground beneath my feet. Still, I went to the edge like I always did, seeking that familiar step, that small ritual of trust that had always steadied me.
This time, the ground gave way.
The earth I believed in — the earth I had leaned on — crumbled beneath me. I dropped to my knees, hands grasping for anything solid, trying to hold on with everything I had. But the path was too fragile, and my grip was not enough. It broke apart, and I fell with it.
Some may say it was my fault — that I should have known better, that I should have seen the signs. But life is imperfect, and so are the paths we choose. This one led to a beauty that was indescribable, a place that felt sacred in ways I still can’t fully explain. The only thing was… it always seemed like private property. As if I was allowed to walk there, but never truly allowed to stay. As if the beauty I found was never really mine to hold.
Now I find myself at the bottom of that collapse — not just fallen, but broken in ways I never expected. I’m left trying to understand how something so trusted could disappear beneath me, how a path that once felt so safe could shift without warning. And now I’m learning what it means to stand again after the ground itself has betrayed my trust.
I don’t know yet how long it will take to rise, or what shape I’ll be in when I do. But even broken things can find their way back to the light. Even shattered edges can reveal new paths. And maybe — just maybe — the fall itself is not the end, but the beginning of learning how to walk again with a different kind of strength.

Devocional de hoy | ¿Cómo establecer una relación normal con Dios?
Debido a los desastres frecuentes y la crisis económica mundial, muchas personas no tienen trabajo y están ocupadas buscando trabajo y ganando dinero todos los días para poder llegar a fin de mes, y si no pueden encontrar un trabajo, siempre están preocupadas, y sin saberlo pasan menos tiempo acercándose a Dios y tienen una relación distante con Él. Sin duda, todos tenemos la profunda sensación de que cuando nuestra relación con Dios no es normal, como si no tuviéramos apoyo, nuestro espíritu también se volverá oscuro. Entonces, ¿cómo establecemos una relación normal con Dios? Las palabras diarias de Dios hoy nos llevarán a encontrar un camino correcto.

Another reason to love Loons is they eat bloodsuckers. Mama Loon is trying to feed her juvie, but he seems to be having a hard time grasping the slippery bloodsucker. She's losing her breeding colours here around her eyes and perhaps she's also turning grey from her teenager. lol He eventually learned how to fly and I believe they both left together on October 5th for their migration journey. I wished I had wings and could follow them ;-) Her tenacity as a mother was tremendous and I think despite the challenges this was her favourite baby on record. She has never stayed this long before. I do miss them so much. All we are getting is dreary days of rain, but I'm all set for winter. The harvest is in, the wood is stacked, rain barrels tipped, swimming pool put away....and livestock are in their winter pasture.
This is something you'll practically never see with the naked eye. They fly quickly and erratically, and the whole event only lasts a few seconds.
The male (to the left) is grasping the female by the back of her head. The tip of her tail is collecting sperm he has deposited on his secondary genitalia prior to engaging with the female. As soon as they separate, she will deposit her eggs in the water. No other creatures reproduce in this fashion, and no other insects have evolved from Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) which have been around, largely unchanged, for hundreds of millions of years. The insects are each about 5cm/2inches in length.
It was -6C during the night and when the morning sun hit the water a gorgeous mist/fog developed. Unfortunately, what a still photograph doesn't capture is the wonderful movement of the mist in playful swirls in the warm bands of morning light. Perhaps a physicist or meteorologist can explain the blue light ... I can't explain it but it was there nonetheless. Keefer Lake, Ontario, Canada
*************************************************************
Tendrils of fog boil about a pine branch,
As if grasping for a stolen moment from the summer before,
The blue light the last gasp of a season past.
It's warmth faded into a mist that twists and curls
About a lakefront as if writhing in some exquisite dance of
Mourning over the advent of a winter that will mask the colours
Of a brilliant fall. (C.Hill)

The blue-tailed male MIgrant Hawker is grasping the female by the back of her head. She is collecting sperm with the tip of her tail from his secondary genitalia onto which he deposited the sperm a little while earlier. Believe it or not, they can actually fly around conjoined 'in the wheel' like this. After a minute or so they will separate, and she will go and deposit her eggs in the soft mud or rotting vegetation at the water's edge. In some species, the male keeps hold of the female while she oviposits, but not these Migrant Hawkers.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
A barren branch seems to reach out across the water. Yearning for life, not realizing what it is grasping for is a fleeting remnant of existence.
And the river flows on.
The mist moves through the tress, obscuring and revealing this transformation, a quiet ghost haunting the morning air.
And the river flows on.
A cold, lifeless sky holds back the Sun. It covers the hills with its chilly grasp, all things living echo its icy presence with every breath.
And the river flows on.
A beautiful mirror, a spectrum of emotions, a last look before moving on.
The river flows on.

Flipping the Lens: Women's Perspective on the World of Men
" Most nice guys say they 'can be' a Don Juan anytime, but they choose not to be. Most women wonder if these men are nice because they choose to be, or if they were simply unable to win over the challenges of manhood.
To be a Don Juan is not just a choice for men, but rather an achievement that comes after hardship and growth. Some men may never attain this status in their lifetime, no matter how hard they try. It takes wisdom and courage to become a Don Juan (Redpill) "

#2 Why ???
This is the second photo in my Autumn in the Woods series. This shot shows the height of the trees of Skyline Drive, located in Shenandoah National Park in western Virginia. The over-exposed sky above helped to make the color of the foliage burst brighter - no saturation was added in post!
The serenity of the woods made for an awesome shooting experience. Pointing my lens upward reminded me of shooting architecture and skyscrapers. The wide angle lens I used created a pretty interesting feel here - as if the trees were grasping and reaching for the sky.
Thank you very much for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Australasian Darter
Anhinga novaehollandiae
Anhingidae
Description: The Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, sharp pointed bill, and long, rounded tail. Male birds are dark brownish black with glossy black upperwings, streaked and spotted white, silver-grey and brown. The strongly kinked neck has a white or pale brown stripe from the bill to where the neck kinks and the breast is chestnut brown. Females and immatures are grey-brown above, pale grey to white below, with a white neck stripe that is less distinct in young birds. The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water. While its gait is clumsy on land, it can soar gracefully to great heights on thermals, gliding from updraft to updraft. It has a cross-shaped silhouette when flying.
Distribution: In Australia, the Darter is found from Adelaide, South Australia, to Tennant Creek, Northern Territory and then to Broome, Western Australia. it is also found in south-western Australia, from Perth to Esperance. Worldwide, it has been thought of as one of two mainAnhinga species (the other, A. anhinga, is found in North America), found in the southern half of Africa, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, India, south-east Asia, Indonesia and New Guinea. However, A. melanogaster is now considered to be further divided into three species, with rufa being found in Africa, melanogaster in south Asia and novaehollandiae in New Guinea and Australia (the Australasian Darter).
Habitat: The Darter is found in wetlands and sheltered coastal waters, mainly in the Tropics and Subtropics. It prefers smooth, open waters, for feeding, with tree trunks, branches, stumps or posts fringing the water, for resting and drying its wings. Most often seen inland, around permanent and temporary water bodies at least half a metre deep, but may be seen in calm seas near shore, fishing. The Darter is not affected by salinity or murky waters, but does require waters with sparse vegetation that allow it to swim and dive easily. It builds its nests in trees standing in water, and will move to deeper waters if the waters begin to dry up.
Feeding: The Darter catches fish with its sharp bill partly open while diving in water deeper than 60 cm. The fish is pierced from underneath, flicked onto the water's surface and then swallowed head first. Smaller items are eaten underwater and large items may be carried to a convenient perch and then swallowed. Insects and other aquatic animals, including tortoises, may also be eaten, as well as some vegetable matter. In hot weather, adult birds may pour water from their bills into the gullets of their young chicks when they are still in the nest.
Breeding: The Darter is usually a solitary bird, forming pairs only while breeding. Breeding is erratic, happening whenever water levels and food supplies are suitable, but most often occurs in spring and summer. Nests are usually solitary, but Darters may nest within loose colonies with other water birds that nest in trees, such as cormorants, spoonbills and ibis. The male decorates a nest-site with green leafy twigs and displays to attract a mate, with elaborate wing-waving and twig-grasping movements. The male carries most of the nest material to the nest-site, which is normally in the fork of a tree standing in water, usually about 3.5 m above the water's surface. Both sexes complete the nest, incubate the eggs and raise the young. Chicks are kept warm by brooding continously (or cooled down by shading with spread wings) for up to a week after hatching and both adults stay in the nest with the chicks overnight. In hot weather, the adults will even shake water over the chicks after a swim. Chicks can swim after about four weeks in the nest and start to fly at about 50 days.

Birds of prey or raptors include species of bird that primarily hunt and feed on vertebrates that are large relative to the hunter. Additionally, they have keen eyesight for detecting food at a distance or during flight, strong feet equipped with talons for grasping or killing prey, and powerful, curved beaks for tearing flesh. The term raptor is derived from the Latin word rapio, meaning to seize or take by force. In addition to hunting live prey, most also eat carrion, at least occasionally, and vultures and condors eat carrion as their main food source.
The black-breasted buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon) is a large raptor endemic to mainland Australia. First described by John Gould in 1841, it forms part of the family Accipitridae (hawks and eagles) and is most closely related to the square-tailed kite (Lophoictinia isura). It is a versatile hunter known for its special skill in cracking eggs. The species is common throughout most of its range. 15972

Here's a small bee I found in my back yard. I was searching for ballooning spiderlings that sometimes land on small pine trees and saw several small brown "things" stuck on the end of needles of several trees. Looking closely, they appeared to be small dead bees, similar to what's left after a jumping spider dines on one. They had the "dead bug" look... legs folded up underneath. I gently poked one and was surprised when it suddenly flew away. Viewing another through the viewfinder I could see that it was grasping the needle with its mandibles and just hanging off the end with its legs folded up. Checking a half dozen others scattered around my yard I noticed that all had hold of the needles near the end and their body unsupported.
Taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark II, 60mm f/2.8 macro lens, focused at infinity, with the objective from a Soligor 90-230mm zoom lens reverse mounted on the 60mm, lighting provided by a small external flash shot through a lens-mounted diffuser made from the plastic bowl that comes in a frozen dinner.
In experimenting with the macro lens I found that focusing at 1:1 "eats" light, something I hate to put up with. By focusing at infinity and getting to 1:1 using a supplemental lens, there's no loss of light. Using a variety of different supplemental lenses I can boost the magnification to about 5:1. It's a very good thing that the camera has image stabilization.

Música cristiana | La carne de Dios y el Espíritu son idénticos en esencia
🎧🎧 www.kingdomsalvation.org/es/videos/God-s-flesh-spirit-are...
La carne vestida por el Espíritu de Dios es la propia carne de Dios.
El Espíritu de Dios es supremo; Él es todopoderoso, santo y justo.
De igual forma, Su carne también es suprema, todopoderosa, santa y justa.
De igual forma, Su carne también es suprema, todopoderosa, santa y justa.
I
Carne como esa solo puede hacer lo que es justo y beneficioso para la humanidad;
lo que es santo, glorioso y poderoso.
Es incapaz de hacer cualquier cosa que viole la verdad,
la moralidad y la justicia;
mucho menos, cualquier cosa que traicione al Espíritu de Dios.
El Espíritu de Dios es santo
y, por lo tanto, Su carne no es susceptible de corrupción por Satanás;
Su carne es de una esencia diferente a la carne del hombre,
es de una esencia diferente a la carne del hombre.
II
Porque es el hombre, no Dios, el que es corrompido por Satanás;
Satanás no podría corromper la carne de Dios.
Así pues, a pesar del hecho de que el hombre y Cristo
moran dentro del mismo espacio,
es solo el hombre a quien Satanás posee, usa y engaña.
Por el contrario, Cristo es eternamente inmune a la corrupción de Satanás
porque Satanás nunca será capaz de ascender al lugar más alto
y nunca será capaz de acercarse a Dios,
y nunca será capaz de acercarse a Dios.

These porcupines use their prehensile tails for grasping and hanging in trees. They rarely come to the ground.
Porcupines cannot "throw" their quills. The quills detach when touched and provide the porcupine with a strong defense from predators. Although they tend to move slowly, they are quite agile and can climb quickly when necessary

It seems crazy how one email could bring my plans crashing down around me. And somehow I just know it will. I have never had much self-confidence when it comes to things like this, but I just know that I am not going to have done well enough – particularly in chemistry. It is the same feeling I had with my GCSEs; only with my GCSEs there were 11 of them, so there was a higher chance of doing well. With my A-levels, I only have three chances, and I have to have all three to get where I need to be. I really do not understand why anyone sees fit to put so much pressure on teenagers.
Perhaps I am just being melodramatic and possibly even weak. Perhaps it has always been this way. Perhaps the pressure to get an AAB in three ridiculous subjects that have no bearing on what you are going to study has always been around. I do not know. But I do know that I have never felt so nervous.
Did you know that Americans use 500 million drinking straws every day? Enough straws to fill over 125 school buses every day. That is 1.6 straws per person. And straws are devastatingly bad for the environment.
In spite of not having grasping hands, these relatives of the raccoon are almost as agile as monkeys as they leap from branch to branch and walk along vines.

“Recalled that at the Somme between action, it was recalled that he and his fellow officers would commonly discuss where in the body they would prefer to be hit. We all agreed that the stomach was the one to be feared. A shrapnel piece which ripped open the belly and let the intestines slop out, leaving the bemused victim grasping around in blood and dirt to push them back in – just about everybody witnessed that once.”
Just a scene to show off my Frenchies.
