One of my attempts at the "Looking Close... on Friday" theme "Flowers and/or Buds".
Shot with a Nikon "LS-3510AF 50 mm F 3.5" (scanner) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Considering the weather we have had this weekend, I was quite pleased to get this shot after venturing out this afternoon.
A bitingly cold wind across the hills meant it was a brief time outside the car and despite this being a heavy crop, came out not too badly!

Young Raccoon out in the early daylight hours - presumably on his way to a spot to sleep the day away, De Pere, Wisconsin USA
While I was looking over the wetlands on the bridge over the creek, this hawk landed on the far end - not 7 meters from me. Stood for a bit, then took off. Near Beaverton, Oregon.

This young least bittern was just beginning to feel his wings and to venture away from the security of his nest and home . It is such fun to watch how new and exciting everything is to them and to watch as they tentatively move out further and further.
Wishing you a great and blessed Thursday !!!!
When I checked on our little hummingbird nest in our back yard, I noticed one of them was outside the nest. Then about an hour later, I noticed it was back in the nest. Flight (albeit short) is the only possible explanation. Hummingbirds can't walk and they certainly couldn't have stepped over the lip of the nest. I keep checking back. I'd love to see them actually take flight.
Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what I should try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.
View On Black the way it should be seen!

The American pika is the smallest member of the rabbit family, landing somewhere between a hamster and a Guinea pig in appearance and size. Unlike most rabbits and hares, their large ears are rounded, bringing to mind nothing so much as Mickey Mouse. Their obligate habitat is high mountain boulder fields at or above tree-line. This makes the region around the 10,947 foot summit of the Beartooth Highway (US 212) the ideal place to look for them. In one particular spot they enjoy the shelter and forage found among sparkly, colorful granite rocks. They eat grasses and other plants and also harvest them to tuck in their dens deep within the rocks to eat, hay-like, during the long, high alpine winters rather than hibernating like so many other animals do to survive the lean months.
When the photographer arrives and sets up, they retreat to crevasses among the boulders, then gradually venture into the open again. Once they conclude the photographer is no threat, they hop around among the rocks, posing momentarily between mouths-full of forage, sometimes coming so close the long telephoto can’t handle it. Their cuteness factor is very high, especially when they make their little squeaky-toy calls.
However, the most important thing to know about pikas is that they are climate change indicator species. As the landscape warms, they need to move to ever-higher, cooler elevations, and if the plants they live on don’t also move to higher ground, they cannot survive. While for the moment they seem to be thriving in the Wyoming-Montana highlands, in some parts of the U.S. they have already disappeared due to rising average temperatures.

Many a time I've been wondering whether there is a "pathway", a "recipe" that leads a specific profession or activity to the top of its peers' list ? Whether there are quality characteristics of steady nature, whose presence boosts a given venture into a diachronic success, while their absence turn other similar ventures to subsequent mediocrity and gradual oblivion ?
When I posed this very question to a professor of mine once, he came to me with an amazing answer: "The key to success ... " he said " ... in every venture you decide to undertake is to try not to be a little something to almost everybody but to be almost everything to only a bunch of people".
The University of Cambridge followed that recipe and managed to be steadily ranked amongst the top five Academic Institutions of this planet for quite a few centuries now. It has a reputation that acts like "honey to the bees" to young, gifted minds from all over the globe, while at the same time it unsparingly provides both high standards' academic programs for almost all sciences, as well as an amazing Medieval environment whithin which these programs are followed and completed.

Taken around 1990, Northern Venture was in Lossie to get a new wheelhouse fitted. This was obviously one of my better days for getting focus and exposure right.
An A-10C from the Maryland ANG doing an extremely low flyby. The unit brought four of their soon to be retired A-10Cs to Air Venture 2025. They performed two 4 ship tact demos during their stay at Oshkosh.

A family of Squirrels nested in the Oak tree this year. Last count was four young ones (above) and Mum nearby. In the garden.
This time, we were venturing into the dark remains of Yugoslavia's biggest military base. During the Cold War, the isolated Socialist state wanted to demonstrate its military strength with this partly-underground airfield. But by now, this has become a huge, almost forgotten area that still holds invisible threats. As we trespassed, there were several, often bizarre, encounters with the police.
