Yew trees in a Shropshire graveyard, England - Wales is believed to have the oldest tree in Britain, a yew of course! This can be found at St. Cynog's Church, Defynnog in Powys - Its DNA and Ring Checks confirmed it's over 5,000 years old - Amazing?
I held up the group to take this "one last shot" near Mesa Arch in the Canyonlands near Moab, Utah. Actually, it was more like 20 last shots. Then I hustled back, and, as the group became visible down below, I started to limp, but all I heard were shouts of "We're not buying that." Some people just don't understand the artistic temperament. Taken on Jeff Clow's Dirt Cheap Photo Tour.
Trust is built on one marble at a time.

We showed up around 3pm on the 24th and the museum was already about to close. I think everyone's eager to go home and spend Christmas Eve with their families.
The feeding frenzy continues as the marsh seems to be overrun with newly hatched fish. Eagerly feeding on them are dozens and dozens of terns, egrets, herons and gulls. The wading birds stab at the fish with their sharp beaks from the shore but if you want to get to the big schools you have to venture into deeper water. That's where the terns and gulls are feasting. While the gulls have a more dainty approach of hovering over the surface until finally dropping in to grab a fish, The terns dive bomb from 20 feet up and impale fish on their large beaks.
This one shows of its skills by catching two fish at the same time.

I have two Coopers Hawks that are hunting in my yard and they are here every day. This one is on my fence and he is watching a squirrel on the bird feeder.
One giant leap for Frogkind...Common Gray Tree Frog ranges from 1 1/4-2 3/8 inches (3.2-6cm); he is nocturnal and usual live high in tree tops, which is why I was surprised to find him on my back garage screen door!
The light was bad but I did get a couple of shots before I called for help to remove him to a garden; turns out the little guy can easily leap 3-4 feet! Which is what he did, into my kitchen...Chaotic attempt to catch him before he leaped behind the fridge, or Frodo got him! Captured him and released him outside hear his normal habitat. Phew, one efficient little machine there!
Have a terrific weekend all!

31st December 2020:
We've got there, the end of 2020. Bonne fin d'année to all of you.
It's not been the easiest year, especially for those of us who have participated in the challenge of taking one photo each day. For those who have managed all 366 photos, I take my hat off to you. Also well done to anyone who almost made it to that magic number.
For the last Silly News for the year we have that it's either : No Interruptions Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/no-interruptions-day-last-work-da...
Or : Make Up Your Mind Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/make-up-your-mind-day-december-31/
*********************************************************************
Are you ready for another round of 365/366 photos in 2021. Or does the idea of taking one photo each day for the whole year interest you?
If so you can join the new group here :

Gasteruptiid Wasp (family Gasteruptiidae (subfamily Gasteruptiinae)) male
I find these Wasps difficult to capture, they seem to be always on the move. This one stopped for a minute. I have inverted the image as it was hanging down and I thought it looked better this way.
