Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
The holly is so prickly it hurts! And our holly has no berries, so I paired it with some redcurrants, which I've been making into redcurrant sauce - I don't like cranberries as much 😊

This little cream pitcher is at Mom's house. I am not sure where it came from but I suspect it was once my paternal great grandmother's. The little handle is SO amazing, I thought it was perfect for the challenge!
Oops! I missed the deadline . . . we are central standard time zone! Well, anyway! For Smile on Saturday! - handle
Macro Mondays theme: handle.
The handle to wind up my pendulum regulator clock. Size about 5cm.

This Rustic Handle has been taken for this weeks Macro Mondays theme of 'Handle'. It is from an outside log burner and burns nicely on chilly evenings in our garden. HMM
This is possibly the tiniest button in my collection at just 1cm wide (about ⅜"). The centre is pink guilloché enamel and the button itself is made of silver. It dates back to the 1900s. The tin thimble is from the 1920s and the pink cotton from the 1930s. I'm sure the 2 buttons in the background will be making an appearance in their own right before long. :)

Vintage penknife/pocketknife that has found itself in my possession from I know not where or when. The texture of the carved horn handle was my objective and only on examining it closely realised the existence of the stag's head motif. Made in Germany I would guess early C20th.
Cropped to show only 3" of the handle.

Thanks to Ken W for the background.
The American pika is the smallest member of the rabbit family, landing somewhere between a hamster and a Guinea pig in appearance and size. Unlike most rabbits and hares, their large ears are rounded, bringing to mind nothing so much as Mickey Mouse. Their obligate habitat is high mountain boulder fields at or above tree-line. This makes the region around the 10,947 foot summit of the Beartooth Highway (US 212) the ideal place to look for them. In one particular spot they enjoy the shelter and forage found among sparkly, colorful granite rocks. They eat grasses and other plants and also harvest them to tuck in their dens deep within the rocks to eat, hay-like, during the long, high alpine winters rather than hibernating like so many other animals do to survive the lean months.
When the photographer arrives and sets up, they retreat to crevasses among the boulders, then gradually venture into the open again. Once they conclude the photographer is no threat, they hop around among the rocks, posing momentarily between mouths-full of forage, sometimes coming so close the long telephoto can’t handle it. Their cuteness factor is very high, especially when they make their little squeaky-toy calls.
However, the most important thing to know about pikas is that they are climate change indicator species. As the landscape warms, they need to move to ever-higher, cooler elevations, and if the plants they live on don’t also move to higher ground, they cannot survive. While for the moment they seem to be thriving in the Wyoming-Montana highlands, in some parts of the U.S. they have already disappeared due to rising average temperatures.
