One of my attempts at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Pointed".
Shot with a Steinheil "Anastigmat 45 mm F 2.8" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
An extreme close up of a baby Beddome's keelback snake. This one was just the size of an earthworm, so had to get real down and close to get this shot. Loved how it was holding the tail up, so I manipulated ny position around to get both the head and tail in the focal plane.
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost a millennium of architectural history.
Windsor Castle grounds cover 13 acres (5.3 hectares).and combines the features of a fortification, a palace, and a small town. The present-day castle was created during a sequence of phased building projects, culminating in the reconstruction work after a fire in 1992. It is in essence a Georgian and Victorian design based on a medieval structure, with Gothic features reinvented in a modern style. Since the 14th century, architecture at the castle has attempted to produce a contemporary reinterpretation of older fashions and traditions, repeatedly imitating outmoded or even antiquated styles.[8] As a result, architect Sir William Whitfield has pointed to Windsor Castle's architecture as having "a certain fictive quality", the Picturesque and Gothic design generating "a sense that a theatrical performance is being put on here", despite late 20th century efforts to expose more of the older structures to increase the sense of authenticity.[9] Although there has been some criticism, the castle's architecture and history lends it a "place amongst the greatest European palaces
Glorious display of leek plants in my friend Katherine's garden, not quite the Egyptian Walking Onion that we had expected to see, but fun all the same...

Dactylorhiza maculata subs. fuchsii (Orchidaceae) 178 22
Dactylorhiza fuchsii is a widespread and abundant orchid with a distribution throughout temperate Europe, as far east as Siberia and is a member of the large Dactylorhiza maculata group of the genus Dactylorhiza. Dactylorhiza fuchsii and Dactylorhiza maculata share a close morphological resemblance but their differing habitat choice is a key differentiation, with the latter species exclusively a plant of acidic or neutral substrates and Dactylorhiza fuchsii an orchid of alkaline soils. There are also morphological features that serve to distinguish them, among them, the more slender, pointed leaves and less centralized, more discreet lip markings of Dactylorhiza maculata. These characteristics seem to be less apparent in the central and eastern parts of their range and this greater convergence leads some botanists not to recognize any species separation.
Dactylorhiza fuchsii although exclusively tied to non acidic soils, is nonetheless tolerant of a wide range of conditions from the driest chalk grassland to marshes and from full sun to shade. Its flowers are typically pale with bold markings and it's not uncommon to find completely white examples.

A very shaggy Highland Cow grazing near Hepple in the Northumberland National Park. What a superb pair of horns!
This seems to be what a black and white male cat - which is eating some leftover food on a plastic dipper - is saying when it gives me a stern face just after I pointed my camera at it to get its photo at a closer range.
Captured in front of a neighbor's house in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
The box fell down last Autumn and obviously had had Barn Owls.
This year a new box put up in January, pigeons and squirrels had investigated but also this fellow. I have a bushnell trail cam pointed at the box . Lets hope the Tawny stays. Somerset, UK.
Watch this space.

In addition to the Long-billed dowitchers, one greater and four lesser yellow legs were working the same mud flat. The Greater yellow leg providing an opportunity to compare the two species. For identification of the Greater, I hang my hat on it's two toned billed. For me size does not help unless one has both species present for comparison. One of the Lessers for tomorrow. Market Lake WMA, Robert's, Idaho.
PS Two Flickr friends pointed out the length of the bill was the most helpful distinguishing feature aside from size. The bill of the greater is approximately 1.5 times the length of the head with the lesser's bill length equal to the head length.

“First brought to North America by Shakespeare enthusiasts in the nineteenth century, European Starlings are now among the continent’s most numerous songbirds. They are stocky black birds with short tails, triangular wings, and long, pointed bills. Though they’re sometimes resented for their abundance and aggressiveness, they’re still dazzling birds when you get a good look.”

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lions are a pair of pointed peaks (West Lion - 1,646 m (5,400 ft); East Lion - 1,606 m (5,269 ft)) along the North Shore Mountains in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They can be seen from much of the Greater Vancouver area, as far as Robert Burnaby Park in East Burnaby, south to parts of Surrey, and from the west on the Howe Sound Islands and the Sunshine Coast. Along with the Lions Gate Bridge named in their honour, these twin summits have become one of the most recognizable Vancouver landmarks.
A pointed leaf found by my son (7 years) during a hike and held by him while taking this photo and until reaching home.
Dragonfly chooses the lotus blossom bud as its perch for the moment. This may be a variety of Meadowhawk but I'm uncertain.
I haven't been out with the camera too often in the last 2-3 weeks. The reason for this was constant rain almost around the clock. So I did some digging in the archives.
Shot with the Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f1.9, open aperture+ Cosina closeup lens.
