White-plumed Honeyeater (Lichenostomus penicillatus)
Nice to get one sit still for a moment and clear of foliage.

We're don't know which side of our families of origin took such loving care of this pocket watch through the years. The inscribed date on the inner cover reads April 1920.
I experimented with apertures, extension tubes, and focal points, and had a fine time while it rained. I had intended to add it to Macro Mondays last Monday until I noticed that I had entered an older macro two years ago.
Thanks for looking, and for your faves ;)
Wednesdays / Miércoles : Macro or close-up
From high on it's perch, this Red-tailed Hawk was watching the Sandhill Cranes fly about. I've never known a Red-tail to try and take a Sandhill, but there's always a first time for everything.
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike (Coracina novaehollandiae)
The Cuckoo-shrikes didn't pick the best spots to perch for photos.
Cheetah stalking what he hoped would be his supper. At this stage quietly moving through the grass, periodically sitting to wait until he had a clearer run at his prey. This animal has great patience as we watched this go on for almost an hour and he still had not had an opportunity to make a final advance.
It’s been a while since I shared a photo from my Sabi Sands safari, so thought why not post one of its most magnificent residents — the leopard.
This young cub was perched high in a tree, curiously watching us as we watched him. I can only imagine what he thought of the rapid-fire click of all those camera shutters! The more sensible among us (if I can ever be called that 😉) had our cameras set to silent mode.
It was fascinating watching his mother teach him the essentials of leopard life — how to wrestle, eat, and nap — all safely from the branches above, far from hyenas, photographers, and other distractions. I have such wonderful memories of these extraordinary animals. Nature at her finest.
Today's fun fact: That lovely smell of freshly cut grass? It's actually the grass releasing distress signals! The scent comes from green leaf volatiles — compounds plants emit when damaged, to warn nearby plants, deter grazers, & attract helpful insects.
So maybe I’m not lazy after all — I’m just being considerate by not mowing too often 😉
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Thanks for taking a look, I really appreciate your comments and support.
On the 3rd day of my journey south I pulled over to let those in a hurry pass by and to take a moment to feel where I was.
Dimly lit forests make such good subjects for my Slow Shutter app ... and this one was particularly dark and creepy.
There was only one, much overused (by me), but somehow completely appropriate tune to put to it.
The girl was never there, it's always the same ...
Every get that feeling....someone is watching you??

There are birds building a nest atop the shutter at this window and Jane enjoys watching their every move.
Seen here, she is standing as tall as she can to get as close to them as possible.

We got some new blankets that are really soft & fluffy, which made for an excellent place for Floki to watch ducks at the feeder. They came around a lot today and were about two dozen strong a few times!
Pete & Remo were very happy with all their special treats & gifts, Santa was good to all of us!!!;-)) Orange racing stripe over load!!!
Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.
