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!!!

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

“...what thrills me about trains is not their size or their equipment but the fact that they are moving, that they embody a connection between unseen places.”

― Marianne Wiggins

These railroad tracks run alongside the Colorado River (on the left here, sitting below/between the gravel bank and the sagebrush) and the road, to the right of the tracks. It's a dramatic experience if a driver happens to be cruising along one of the tight corners of the road at the same time as an oncoming train!

Efforts to photograph warblers are not great these days due to dense canopy growth. However, there are some new finds.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !

Have a wonderful and warm day.

As I have probably written before, architecture is a favorite subject for photography, at least for me. Whether it's an old temple, an arched bridge, an impressive skyscraper or just a random building that has something unique in it, most likely it will get my attention and I will stop to take a closer look and perhaps snap a photo. This structure here is an office building located at Boston's Seaport neighborhood. Modern architecture can be quite fascinating especially when different materials (such as glass, bricks, concrete) get mixed up with sharp edges and strong lines to produce something that sometimes may be a bit abstract. Like here for example. Looking at the glass panels and the reflected sky, the eye gets confused in regards to what it's seeing. Hats off to the architect!

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.

Sharp for Macro Mondays

HMM!

This sharp-shinned hawk is eyeing a highbush cranberry thicket located about 20 meters away. About 5 seconds later it rocketed into the thicket and came out the other side with a house sparrow in its talons.

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 :))

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Sharp-shinned Hawk that spent more than 2 hours in my yard while I was doing yard work.

My previous shots of this charming woodpecker are reasonably good. But I never like the sharp angles or the backdrop of those images.

Then one of my bird photographer friends told me he had a pair of RHWPs coming to his yard. In Northern Michigan, this is rare. I have seen them up here, but only as a forest flyby. I have never had them in my yard or heard them anywhere nearby.

The short of it is that he invited me over to his house for the day. I simply sat on his porch and shot away.

Even more unusual, they bred a trio of youngsters.

This sharp-shinned hawk was possibly taking a break from a migratory flight south when it roosted in a tree at the east side of my house yesterday. It spent several minutes busily preening itself, and every once in a while glancing around. It was a shame that the light was so bad. I would have loved getting sharper shots against a beautiful blue sky.
