We scrambled up the narrow canyon, so narrow that at times I had to force myself sideways through its clenching walls. Every so often we came up against an insurmountable barrier, soon to be relieved to discover that some Samaritan’s put up a ladder, thereby allowing our journey to continue. The very last one (I called it “Lina’s Ladder”) delivered us out of the canyon’s shadows onto a purgatorial summit.
They call it Ladder Canyon for a reason. Who has not scaled its seven ladders, can never claim to have been to Mecca!

This Ladder-backed woodpecker has been drinking from one of the hummingbird feeders.
This morning he set upon the feeder's shepherd hook and eyed me sitting 6 meters away at our table.
Then he proceeded to plop onto the feeder and drink.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

These "rope" ladders were found in a playground at the entrance to the Oso Bay Wetlands Preserve in Corpus Christi, Texas. They lead up to a sort of treehouse, about 4 feet of the ground.

This is a photo of some of the access ladders and stairs surrounding one of the storage tanks at Gas Works Park in Seattle.
I had to take this through the hedge into my neighbour's garden where one of their cats had found a novel bed. Cats and ladders don't usually go together but many years ago we had a grey persian who loved scampering up the ladder to the loft when Phill went up there.
Feeling a lot better now, though the tiredness is still there. Apparently with pneumonia this takes a while to subside. As I see it a great excuse not to do too much *wink*
Happy Furry Friday everyone.
Wishing you all a happy and restful weekend

Another picture from the beautiful fish ladder. This one is taken with Mamiya RB67 and 90mm SEKOR on Ilford Delta 100.
Horizontal not vertical
My ladders spend 99.999999% of the time (or maybe even more) horizontal, not vertical.

In the depths of the Amazon at Lagos Yaguacaca near Leticia, Colombia, I encountered the Ladder-tailed Nightjar, Hydropsalis climacocerca. This photograph captures the essence of this elusive bird, expertly blended into its environment. The nightjar's plumage, a complex pattern of browns and tans, mirrors the intricate textures of the Amazonian forest, rendering the bird almost invisible against the branch it rests upon. The subdued light of the forest canopy gently illuminates its form, highlighting the incredible natural camouflage that nightjars are so renowned for.
As a photographer, my mission is to reveal the subtle beauty and intricate details of wildlife that often remain unnoticed. Here, the Ladder-tailed Nightjar sits in quietude, its presence a secret to all but the most observant eyes. Through my lens, I strive to bridge the gap between these hidden wonders and the world, bringing moments of nature's brilliance into focus. It's an intimate glimpse into the life of a creature perfectly adapted to its surroundings, a testament to the marvels of the natural world.

This is the fish ladder I mentioned in a couple of recent posts. Bonneville cutthroat trout exit Bear Lake and work their way up the ladder to enter St Charles creek where they spawn. Wild Cutthroats were nearly extinct in Bear Lake before several projects restored access to spawning streams. Ice covers most of each section of the ladder this time of year.
