Sweet pointed peppers, as the name suggests, are thin and pointed and come in an array of colours and flavours. Unlike the chilli pepper from the same Solanaceae plant family, pointed peppers can be incredibly sweet and mild in heat, similar to the commonly grown bell pepper but with a thinner skin.

I dug these very old, very corroded needle nose pliers out of the back of a drawer full of pliers in my garage and set them up for Crazy Tuesday's Pointed theme .

Bokeh Wednesday
I took a lovely walk around the backyard this morning and saw this tiny orange maple leaf hanging from a spider web thread. The tree it came from is huge and is already turning.
With the colder weather arriving, I've been bit again by the knitting bug and decided to take a stab at some fingerless mittens (always good for photographers). :-) Here's the beginning of the first one, as I'm just getting started...
These will be long (several inches up the arm) and have just a thumb hole, so easy access to camera controls. I can't wait to finish them and try them out (gotta hurry and finish them before the "s" stuff arrives... they won't be warm enough then).

Next to the Kurkimäki wood loading terminal, Fenniarail's timber train to Kouvola is ready to leave after the train has been shunted from the loading platform on the waiting track number 003. Despite it being rainy and wet, the powerful locomotive is determined to haul the train even through the darkness.

Gazzella di Thomson (Eudorcas thomsoni).
La gazzella di Thomson vive nelle savane e nelle pianure dell'Africa ed è particolarmente diffusa nel Serengeti, regione a cavallo tra Kenya e Tanzania.
La dieta si compone di erba e piccoli arbusti e ricava gran parte dell'acqua di cui necessita dai vegetali di cui si nutre.
La gazzella di Thomson è alta 60-90 centimetri e pesa tra i 13 e i 16 kilogrammi.
La parte superiore del mantello è di colore marrone chiaro, quella inferiore è bianca: le due sono divise da una caratteristica striscia nera. La parte posteriore sotto la coda è di colore bianco.
Le corna, lunghe e appuntite, presentano una piccola curvatura.

Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsoni).
The Thomson's gazelle lives in the savannahs and plains of Africa and is particularly widespread in the Serengeti, a region between Kenya and Tanzania.
Its diet consists of grass and small shrubs and it obtains much of the water it needs from the plants it eats.
The Thomson's gazelle is 60-90 centimeters tall and weighs between 13 and 16 kilograms.
The upper part of the coat is light brown, the lower part is white: the two are divided by a characteristic black stripe. The rear part under the tail is white.
The horns, long and pointed, have a small curvature.

The Lions are a pair of pointed peaks (West Lion - 1,646 m (5,400 ft);[1] East Lion - 1,606 m (5,269 ft))[2] 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. The city's BC Lions CFL football team is also named in their honour. Lions Gate Entertainment which was founded in Vancouver in July, 1997 is also named for the peaks. Wikipedia
Austernfischer***(Eurasian) oystercatcher***Haematopus ostralegus
Bremerhaven, Germany
Austernfischer ernähren sich von verschiedenen Muscheln, aber auch von Schnecken, Krebsen und Wattwürmern.
Austernfischer, die im Binnenland leben, erbeuten hauptsächlich Insekten, Schnecken und Regenwürmer.
Austernfischer sind je nach Gezeiten tag-oder nachtaktiv.
Der lange spitze Schnabel ermöglicht den Austernfischern in Muschelbänken und auf weichem Untergrund die Nahrung gezielt zu greifen.
Oystercatchers feed of different shells, but also by snails, crayfish and wading sentries. Oystercatcher who live inland, eat mainly insects, slugs, and earthworms.
Oystercatchers are diurnal or nocturnal depending on the tides.
The long pointed beak allows the Oystercatcher in shell banks and on soft ground to access the food.
Despite their pointed spines and the rugged landscape where they tend to grow, the agave has always been my favorite desert plant. It has a poise and elegance of a lotus blossom with, what I would consider, one of the most beautiful colors of the surrounding botany. Those silver blue-green leaves sing against the backdrop of red rocks in Sedona, Arizona.
Sam pointed out this neat dwarf signal at the diamond, and since the RoadRailer had yet to gain speed, I ran across with the fisheye to get a shot. One of my favorites from the weekend.
