This week's assignment for Macro Mondays is "One of These Things is NOT Like the Others". I did not have a lot of inspiration, but came up with something anyway.
Wishing you a wonderful Monday! HMM
After I got the Grasshopper Sparrow (previous post), I was driving home when this beauty of a Barred Owl flew right in front of me. I stopped, turned off the truck, four ways on and I had 20 minutes with it until a motorcycle spooked it. It was meant to be. Bucks County PA.

Fatsia japonica (or False Castor Oil Plant).
The genus name “Fatsia” is derived from an ancient Japanese word, “eight”, referring to the plant’s eight lobes.
Incidentally, this is one the parents of the common tree ivy, and the resemblance between them in their leaves and fruits is quite striking.

Took the aperture to f/22 here with just the CPL filter and was able to get the shutter speed to 8 seconds. Liked the stirring motion this had to the leaves spinning there slowly in the eddy.
Who else used to sing the 'bottles' song as a child?

Only in this case there are eight, and maybe they're not really green?!
Happy Saturday, everyone!

"Such a hand is said to have been held by Old West folk hero, lawman, and gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok when he was murdered. No contemporaneous source records this hand's exact cards, but Frank Wilstach's 1926 book Wild Bill Hickok: The Prince of Pistoleers led to the popular modern conception of the "dead man's hand" as containing pairs of black aces and black eights. In Hickok's case these would have been combined with an unknown hole card."
