Wires In The Way

Taken at my friend's ranch near Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada.
This Alder Flycatcher continually and vociferously declared that he offered 'free beer!'...'free beer!'...'free beer!'...I politely tried to tell him that I was a teetotaler, but to no avail. He continued unfazed by my candid remark again offering 'free beer!'...'free beer!'...'free beer!'
You wouldn't have any non-alcoholic ginger beer would you? I am kinda partial to that, after all.

This is the exit point of the Wire Pass trail (which passes through a narrow slot canyon) at the conjunction where it enters Buckskin Gulch in Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. I love walking in slot canyons. Note the hiker near the far wall for scale.
For Macro Mondays #holes theme
Just one hole visible here (which I think is ok for the theme), and I'm kind-of excited that you can actually see all the way through it. Unfortunately, there's not much of interest on the other side, so it really isn't worth bothering to look. Plus looking closely would probably draw far too much attention to the detail, including a thread that I couldn't get rid of :-(
An interesting theme; got me thinking about how important holes are. Nice for them to get a bit of attention :-)
oh and I'm conscious that my photostream has been a bit monochromy of late - not quite sure how that happened :-) ; trying to get back to some colour soon, but this shot kind of lent itself to subtle toning

Wires on an old fence covered in tiny ice crystals from days of sub zero temperatures and heavy frosts.
While looking for birds on our trip west, it seemed many birds I found were sitting on wire fences, especially on the prairies where there weren’t many trees. It has to be easier to install and more cost efficient when putting fencing around vast open spaces. The sound of the Meadowlark is quite distinct and I loved listening to them when we were camping. It was a treat to see them sitting on the fence as opposed to hidden in the grasses. Happy Fence Friday.
Macros certainly show every bit of dust and debris! Fortunately, my husband had two unused wire brushes with two small bands of bristles. Here you see fewer than half of the bristles.
And then the sun began to shine. The trick was to avoid blowing the highlights...
Tiny. This macro amounts to 2 cm or .79 inches of part of the brush. Thanks for looking.
A toy electric motor as a 1:1 macro. I suppose it belongs to the series "Märklin Metall" from the early 70ies. This was a modular kit system made of metal to construct mechanical things for older kit. This one is a still working motor, driven by a 9V battery. The copper wires induce a magnetic effect propelling this motor like in every electric driven engine.

The Conemaugh and Black Lick pulls seven cars of steel wire along the Conemaugh River to the former Bethlehem Steel wire mill across town, now operated by Liberty Wire.
#104 was one of at least fifteen EMD SW7s delivered to the C&BL in the late 40s and early 50s. During the days of Bethlehem Steel, they had as many as a dozen switchers active during the day.

Kruger National Park
Photographed at the remote Grootvlei Dam in the north-eastern part of the Park, very close to the border with Mozambique. The great distance between the Shingwetzi and Letaba Rivers makes the dam an important halfway water source, especially during the dry season.
Dutchmen Pipe Leaf vine wrapped around the barbed wire in the late evening bokeh as the sun went down through the trees and the light shining in .I like the way the vine wraps around the barbed wire mingling together and I enjoy the spider webs that are not seen until you look close, My sister gave me this Dutchmen pipe vine many years ago
