Continuing my exploration of using utensils to make images. I know it's weird, but it has been nine months in the house more or less.
The Henrys Fork of the Snake River near its headwtaters. The river is named for Andrew Henry who first entered the Snake River plateau in 1810. Employed by the Missouri Fur Company, he built Fort Henry on the upper Snake River, near modern St. Anthony, but abandoned this first American fur post west of the continental divide the following spring.
Fairly small fork-tailed hummingbird of lowlands. Males have an iridescent green head and breast and a violet belly, but in poor light appears evenly dark overall. Females are green above, light gray below. Note the slightly drooping bill on both sexes. One of the most common hummingbirds in lowland Amazonia; found in a variety of open forested habitats from young rainforest and forest edges to treefall gaps and gardens.
This one was photographed in Ecuador on a photography tour led by Juan Carlos Vindas of Neotropic Photo Tours.

Another wayward bird has found its way to our shores. Only the sixth time reported here and the second one for me.
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic 'Redo". A redo of my original "stacks" image of forks, this time from the other end.

I've combined my fork infatuation and my coloured pencil infatuation to produce this!
It's the prongs of a fork placed over some coloured pencils!
I quite like the effect it gives!

The Roaring Fork stream in the Smokies, along the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail.
(Explore #222, 4/9/12)
Roaring Fork is a little stream that finds its source along the heights of the Black Mountains here in North Carolina. The green of rock moss, rosebay rhododendron, and dog hobble give this the appearance of being tropical, though autumn is evident here.
The falls starts about 50-feet above here, where the placid stream descends steeply and loudly over a series of rocky drops to the pool where I'm standing. This is the most water I've seen here, despite the fact it hadn't rained for over a week.
For the most part, Roaring Fork is such a gently quiet little creek, yet here it makes its name evident in a wild and most beautiful way. Most images I’ve seen of it appear quite flat, because of issues with lens perspective, which is out of character of the true nature of this waterfall... its heights are part of its majesty, and I hope I’ve made that apparent here.

Fork Noir?
I tried to come up with something more interesting - I really did.
I tried a couple statues, some cut glass, a scrap of doily I found in the cupboard (which actually was the best of the also-rans).
I even tried colored flash gels.
But I kept coming back to my original idea - dreamed up while trying to explain to Hubby what the topic was... at Panda Express... using a plastic fork.. on the to-go box lid.
No - this was taken at home with the good camera, but still... the basic idea did end up being my best shot.
The plastic (yes - I stuck with plastic) fork is leaning against a foam doorframe-like shape (see comments).
The light source?
My iPhone "flashlight" as the speed light just didn't seem to do the trick, probably because, even though I zoomed it in, it was still too broad.
just to reassure the fairy forkmother she's not alone ths week!
Its hard work teaching a fork to drive, once he gets it out of first and I can get some decent motion blur in the shot I'll have this weeks theme submission....

Don't allow the drab appearance of this common bird mislead you.
The drongo will often be found following the large herbivores as they move along grazing and browsing. These smart birds have figured out that the larger animals will flush insects from their hiding places in the grass allowing the drongos to swoop in and catch their prey.
They dislike the presence of any predators in their area and will go out of their way to make them feel unwelcome. Drongos will follow leopards and other cats, making loud alarm calls. This alerts all the other creatures to the presence of these predators. But its true bravery comes to the fore when a bird of prey enters its domain. The drongos will actively mob larger birds of prey by dive-bombing them from above as the raptors perch in trees. After bobbing and weaving for a while to avoid the pesky drongos, the larger bird will move off in search of a quieter spot. As it flies off the drongos will drive home the message by continuing the assault from above until the bird is clear of their territory. An amazing little bird the Fork-tailed drongo!
