MLW Monday treats here include CP Rail's RS-23 No. 8043 cozying up to VIA FPA4 No. 6779, with yellow CP Rail van 434608 thrown in for good measure, all on the siding behind the Brockville ON depot on 4 June 1985.
Took this photo before I realized that I misunderstood Macro Mondays' challenge for the week. The challenge is to get as close as possibly can to the subject including a measuring device. I like this image so I'm posting this also.
Collected these fossilized shark teeth years ago at a beach west coast of Florida.

[This] 1980 sculpture by Alan Chung Hung [1946–1994], located adjacent to the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Vanier Park in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] The 4.6-metre (15 ft) sculpture of a square, cut and twisted "like a paper clip" to form an arch, is composed of weathered Corten steel that rusts to provide a protective layer. The work was installed in 1980 to commemorate the arrival of Captain George Vancouver in Burrard Inlet [...].
The work, sited on a plaza of paving stones that measures 7.9 metres (26 ft) x 8.5 metres (28 ft), frames views of English Bay, the North Shore Mountains and the city.[...]. According to Chung Hung [who was born in Canton, China, moved to Vancouver in 1969, and studied at the Vancouver School of Art]: "The objective of the sculpture is to create a symbolic image with definite visual expression, awakening an awareness in Captain George Vancouver's contribution to the world, his remarkable and meticulous surveys which included the north Pacific coast."

Measuring 90 metres wide and plunging 12 metres over dark basalt rocks, the curtain-like Hopkins Falls is the largest in the Hopkins River. Near Warrnambool, Victoria.
There maybe times when I ought to stop picking up the first thing I see and think again.
But, that's me, so I'm making the most of my kitchen scales to measure out a stone!
Maybe view large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, “Christmas magic” was chosen me.
I love Christmas and all that it entails, including baking. I bake fruit mince pies and shortbreads for friends every year, and I always say that I add a spoonful of love into each batch. How could I fail to do so using these gorgeous Christmas gingerbread men spoons? I was given these as a Christmas gift last year from a very dear friend who knows how much I enjoy both Christmas and baking. They never fail to make me smile, and they bring me their own special Christmas magic when I bring them out to use or to display at Christmas.

With the onslaught of massive crows gobbling up our seedlogs in the span of a day, drastic measures were needed - and taken!
I added a large red baffle directly over the logs so the Crows would no longer fit on the feeder. They were definitely baffled by this harsh tactic.
Also, other birds, like this Red Headed Woodpecker, had to adjust to this change, too, as they now have difficulty reaching the top of the log, where no doubt the tastiest morsels are hidden. But after a few days, they realized the logs are still mighty tasty and are getting over this baffling change.
On a side note, oddly enough, the squirrels are no longer raiding the seedlogs either! Can you say access denied? As a result, the logs are now lasting nearly 7-10 days!

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
Macro Monday Measurement - My husband's measuring tape. It's getting a lot of use through all of our renovations.
Scavenge challenge - weights and measures.
(pressure gage, computer and dive table) I haven't dived for many years so the battery in the dive-computer doesn't work.

The giant cutter head of tunnel boring machine (TBM) 'Kathleen' is lowered into the shaft at Barangaroo, ready to be assembled ahead of the historic start of the first rail crossing under Sydney Harbour.
Measuring 130 metres and weighing 975 tonnes, the TBM will churn through clay, sediment and rock on its way under the harbour from Barangaroo to Blues Point.
The twin kilometre-long tunnels will form part of the second stage of a $20 billion metro rail line.
'Kathleen' was named in honour of Kathleen Butler who played a vital role in the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as the technical advisor to legendary engineer John Bradfield.

Macro Mondays - Measurement
A set of measuring spoons that are at least 60 years old. The cutting board is not 60 years old.
Change is a measure of time and, in the autumn, time seems
speeded up. What was is not and never again will be; what
is is change.

There are 4 subspecies of African buffalo, which is Africa's only cow-like animal. The largest of these is the Cape buffalo, which is the only subspecies recognized as a "Big Five" member.
The African buffalo or Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large Sub-Saharan African bovine. Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the typical subspecies found in South and East Africa. The adult buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature: they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield across the top of the head referred to as a "boss".
Both males and females have horns, but the males horns grow larger and can measure close to 4 feet across. Males also develop a thicker neck, a larger hump over the shoulders, and a fringe of long hairs around the throat that looks a bit like a beard, but is called a "dewlap". The largest males approach 2,000 pounds and 6 feet at the shoulder and take nearly 10 years of growing to reach full size.
Displaying perhaps a little more smarts than a typical bovine, there are numerous accounts of them using their legendary memories and extreme persistence to enact revenge upon hunters who shoot at or injure them. Cape buffalo have stalked hunting parties, hiding in wait, and ambushing their attackers.
Most lions don't dare bother hunting this aggressive beast unless the lions are in a huge pride.
