Wind gusting as this Merlin hangs on trying to keep its composure. The death grip on the pinecones was noticed.

I really love taking macro and closeup shots but the slightest breeze completely ruins the focus. It takes a lot of patience and many shots to get just one decent photo of something that's hanging or on a stem. Or I bump in to the branch next to it and set it off. lol!

Testing the Hasselblad Teleconverter 1.4x e with a 250mm Sonnar lens. Amazing sharpness as seen by the little hairs along the edge of the leaf, very shallow depth of field at f5.6 in this image.
What started as a macro session w/this pinecone which had fallen upon my deck, ended up as a cat photography session with Star as full of energy as I've seen for some while. Apparently objecting to the attention being given to this cone, she took possession and decided to make it a plaything. After a few sniffs and a few nips, it was unceremoniously batted to the ground, deemed unsuitable for serious cat play...but serving well the purpose of interrupting my own activities...

While trying to catch up some long overdue chores today, I was picking up pinecones in the backyard when I spotted this one with tiny mushrooms growing on it.
I've only ever seen this one time before so I was excited to see it again, and had to stop everything to go grab my camera.
Didn't notice the two extra tiny ones on the left until I was looking at it on my monitor.
