One from the archives for the Looking Close on Friday theme of tip. I have no idea what the plant is!

Looking Close... on Friday: Tip

 

On tonight's episode of "Cats Are Perfect": the ear! This delicate, soft little ear possesses 32 muscles (we poor humans only have 6) and allows cats to keep their balance, move their ears 180°, and of course hear 5 times better than us. It never ceases to amaze me how these little killing machines with superfeline powers can be so graceful, elegant, beautiful... and so, so cute! (Incidentally, the cuteness is... not incidental. They share baby-like features with lots of baby animals, which makes us subconsciously attracted to them. But these devious little monsters have also managed to tune their purring to a human baby's cries, triggering our instinct to protect, help... and smooch. We are being totally manipulated. And we love that.)

CPKC is really pushing the limits of their mainline in the Mississippi River floodwaters in downtown Davenport, IA as an empty ballast train heads north with KCS 3967 and KCS 4405.

 

Another northbound would follow the ballast train 1.5 hours later and the mainline will possibly shut down yet today with floodgates closing at Waterworks.

A happy shot of a Douglas Fir tip. Things look so green in rain or drizzle.

Looking close...on Friday!:-)

The subject is tip . . .

When in the country I use to find antlers that had been shed, trick is to beat the field mice to the prize. That is my tip of the day on getting antler tips.

Because they find prey using the sensitive tips of their bills, and not just eyesight, Willets can feed both during the day and at night.

RSPB Baron's Haugh, Motherwell...have learned its best not to photograph these in bright sunshine!

My newest assignment was to go to Naturally Naughty Studios and create three boudoir photographs. All of them are to be different backgrounds or stages and different hair, clothing, makeup, etc.

 

I submit to you Part Three of the assignment.

Check out Part One here.

You can catch Part Two of the assignment here.

 

Thanks again to my Flickr Sensei for taking the time to give me tips and lessons to improve my Second Life photography skills.

Thank you so much in advance for all your amazing kindness and support it really means more than you know . Have a wonderful weekend huge hugs and tons of love my dear friends 💕

First off, let's establish size here. Even though this has been shot with a macro lens, this is nowhere even close to a macro shot, not even close-focus! In fact, this is (on sensor) about 5:1 or about 1/5 life size. This (harmless to humans) wasp from head to tip of her ovipositor is around 15 cm (6") !!!, and yes you can tell it's a female, because she has an ovipositor (duh). This is the largest parasitic wasp in North America, at it's very northern boundary on the north coast of Lake Erie. I did try to get in for a macro shot of her face, but she was having no part of that paparazzi crap. First time I've ever seen this beauty, and trust me I was borderline catatonic with the excitement! Two-image stack, handheld.

 

PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.

We went to a little cute city on the island Karmøy called Skudenes, there is a nice harbor here and on tip of the southend there is this lighthouse
