If you wish to talk to the gods, climb a mountain. You are that much closer to them, and they just might hear you from up there.
The Crazy Tuesday theme is On the Top.
That's a rivet from the Golden Gate Bridge perched on top of the rock.
The rules of the theme state that the smaller object must be placed on top, so, since these two objects are close to the same size, I laid them out side by side, and the rivet is definitely smaller than the rock. Not by much, but it is smaller.

This Big Boy was defending his turf against three Hummers who wanted to share breakfast.
Hummingbirds are small, colorful birds with iridescent feathers. Their name comes from the fact that they flap their wings so fast (about 80 times per second) that they make a humming noise.
Hummingbirds can fly right, left, up, down, backwards, and even upside down. They are also able to hover by flapping their wings in a figure-8 pattern.
They have a specialized long and tapered bill that is used to obtain nectar from the center of long, tubular flowers.
The hummingbird’s feet are used for perching only, and are not used for hopping or walking.
Hummingbirds primarily eat flower nectar, tree sap, insects and pollen.
The hummingbird’s fast breathing rate, fast heartbeat and high body temperature require that they eat often. They also require an enormous amount of food each day.
Hummingbirds have a long tongue which they use to lick their food at a rate of up to 13 licks per second.
It is difficult to estimate population numbers since there are many different species spanning a large geographic area.
Hummingbirds are found only in the Western Hemisphere, from southeastern Alaska to southern Chile, although most live in the tropics. There are more than 300 species of hummingbirds, 12 of which summer in North America and winter in tropical areas.
Like other birds, hummingbirds communicate via visual displays. Hummingbirds are very territorial and have been observed chasing each other and even larger birds such as hawks away from their territories.
Reproduction
Gestation: 13-22 days.
Clutch size: Between 1-3 eggs.

This was one of the first pictures I started taking of Asha I know the picture quality isn't really there as I was just using a little compact and I knew even less about photography then than I do now...lol. I always thought this picture cute regardless of the quality. It makes me smile anyway Asha with her Top Dog outfit on. This was taken in Ward Park Bangor of the Deck Gun taken from a German Submarine.
Anxious little Red Squirrel taking a brief scavenging break to survey its domain and check for predators. Last week, two hawks visited my garden for a few minutes. They did not score, so moved on. There's a good chance they'll be back.
Common and abundant.
This is a macro shot of a toy car depicting the show Top Gear (for macro mondays). Here's a link to a picture of me holding the car if you don't believe me!

Bottom view of an antique, labeled "Asbestos Holder" consisting of a variety of layered materials. Top layer is printed canvas with brown paper backing; middle layer is asbestos paper material; and bottom layer is brown fibrous woolen matte. All layers stitched together around edges with an eyelet for storage hanger. Mat is 8-inches square.
It is not yet clear, if it is still winter or already spring. So nature needs some more time. From a walk with the dog.
