Part of a small pair of scissors, that has the shape of a crane. In full size it would be too big for the Macro Mondays theme: 'Sharp'.
Have a great start of this new week!!!
Happy Macro Mondays everyone ;-))

Bosanemoon (Anemone nemorosa)
Dit viel niet mee, het waaide en de tak zwiepte heen en weer.
Dus even wachten tot de slingerbeweging aan het eind was.
Door de wind is de linkerzijde wat afgeplat, maar wat een prachtig verenkleed heeft zo'n torenvalkje.

Photographed in my yard. Four photos of the same bird. If this is the same bird I photographed Feb. 5 it injured a toe sometime between the time I saw it Feb. 5 and Feb. 8. IMG_5865
The bird was in my yard, several different perches most of the morning. Briefly it was out in the open so I was able to get a few photos out my front door. It flushed shortly after I took this photo but was back latter in the day. IMG_8124

Photographed at the Lakeside STA
Yes that is the same fence from which the wet web bung in the prior photo - a two-fer.
From Cornell:
The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest.
Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area (STA)
Located in western Martin County, the Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area plays a crucial role in the restoration of the Lake Okeechobee watershed by improving the quality of water flowing into the lake. The wetlands treats stormwater runoff from the Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough basins to the north before that runoff enters Lake Okeechobee.
Approximately 2,700 acres of Lakeside Ranch is open to the public to enjoy hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or simply relaxing. The recreation area is surrounded by levees that are accessible to visitors on foot or on bicycle.
Efforts to photograph warblers are not great these days due to dense canopy growth. However, there are some new finds.
I'm actually not sure if this is a male but I believe so based on it's size. Females are larger than males.
He is so handsome that the first thing that came to mind is the song Sharp Dressed Man for this incredible Sharp-shinned hawk.
While I was watching the warblers and kinglets flying around in the brush, all of a sudden everyone disappeared. I seen something had flown in nearby and there he was... a juv. sharpie. Made my day as I don't see this little hawk very often.

Looking Close... on Friday: Pushpins
This little guy holds our pushpins (we usually call them thumb tacks :) I don't even remember what his original purpose was ... he's done this for more years than I can remember :))
Today's theme for the Macro Mondays group is SHARP.
My offering today is a pizza cutter.
Thanks for visiting.
HMM....
This hawk flew into a tree somewhat near me. I approached for shots, but it was nearly directly aligned with the sun; did the best I could for the backlight. It was chased into, then soon chased out of, that tree by a small flock of swallows. I'm pretty sure that this is a sharp-shinned hawk, based on its legs and tail tip... Correct me if I'm wrong!
