Originally created for Macro Mondays theme, "Forks." Well I've been going with sharply detailed focus lately so I figured it was time to mix things up a bit. I knew this was a job for the

When I heard that this week's theme was forks, I thought to myself, 'What can I do with a fork that hasn't been done before?"

Pentacon lens and it didn't disappoint. Focus DoF can be so overrated. :) When I was done with 'the shoot" I wound up with a few images that I liked, this is one of them. All the images were created with the 50mm Pentacon f/1.8 with a Nikon PK-13 27.5mm extension tube, one fork, one window screen, one piece of aqua colored paper, some cleaner in a squirt bottle (not used for this shot) and the morning sun for light. Single image processed in Photoshop.

I liked the idea from another photographer her name AlexEdg

This is a small fork that my husband bought for my son when he went South-Africa. It's handmade and has beautiful lion decorations all in orange as you can see a little bit of here.

HAPPY MM!

Kruger National Park

This drab colored bird is a common resident in the Kruger National Park but you should not be misled by its appearance. The Drongo is a highly intelligent bird and has the ability to mimic calls of other animals and it uses this skill to distract them to steal their food.

Bird Island, Seychelles.

Bird Island is a beautiful remote privately owned, coral sand island situated in the Indian Ocean just off the East African coast. The island has stunning, scenery beautiful beaches and a huge array of wildlife.

The Fairy (or white) Tern is a beautiful bird seen on all islands in Seychelles. Fairy Terns use trees for breeding, although they do not build a nest. Instead, the female lays a single egg on a branch, usually where there is a knot or fork to support the egg. She will sit on the egg to prevent it from falling from the branch. As soon as the egg hatches twenty one days later, the fluffy chick clings on to the branch with its large clawed feet. The adults feed the chicks small fish, which are carried crossways in the parent’s beak.

I have so many of these shots, I will probably bore you all to death with them.

A fork in the road or rail is always interesting.

Forks

A herd of Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) graze on green grass in a pasture in the South Fork Valley southwest of Cody, Wyoming. This view combines the green grass of summer with the snow of winter. This unusual combination resulted from a Labor Day storm that dropped sow and temperatures across Wyoming. Only a temporary snow cover however since temperatures in the 70s and 80s are expected by the weekend.

The field lies the valley along the South Fork of the Shoshone River. The trees in the center of the photo lie along the river. Although this area is within the boundary of the Shoshone National, the field in the photo lies on one of several ranches that are private inholdings within the forest.

The name elk was given to these animals by early European settlers in North America. "Elk" is a word usually used in Europe for a moose. This causes some confusion among some European visitors. The other name used for elk is wapiti, a Shawnee word which means “white-rumped deer" or "white deer". There are 3 subspecies of elaphus recognized currently in the United States. The Rocky Mountain Elk have the largest population and the widest distribution. To make things even more confusing, Cervus elaphus has also been called Cervus canadensis. The name is still in use by some.

The Cliffs that rise above the valley flow consist of stacked lava flows, flow breccias and debris flows that are part of the Absaroka Volcanics Supergroup. This group of igneous rocks are the remnant of a volcanic field that was active in the Eocene between 53 and 43 million years ago.

Kruger National Park

This drab colored bird is a common resident in the Kruger National Park but you should not be misled by its appearance. The drongo is a highly intelligent bird and has the ability to mimic calls of other animals and it uses this skill to distract them. For example the Dwarf Mongoose has a number of different alarm calls for different predators. The drongo has learnt to imitate these calls. It will sit in trees above the foraging mongoose watching closely and waiting for one of them to catch something. At this point the drongo screeches the mimicked mongoose alarm call, sending the whole colony scattering for cover – leaving behind the food that they have just caught. The drongo then swoops in, picks up the abandoned food and heads back into the trees to enjoy the mongooses’ hard earned meal.
