An eye-catching relative of the heaths and heather, Leptecophylla juniperina is native to Tasmania, Victoria and New Zealand. Belonging to the Ericaceae family, its fruit can be eaten raw or cooked.
All I need now at this stage of my project is sharp vision indeed! And a lot concentration...
But I keep on sharing my thoughts through images on flickr, to release the tension of work...

This is less elaborated version of an expression which combines the sharpness and the sense of sight.
The other one - next to this image is in Polish and might be difficult to translate.

The sun shine in winter is sharp like a pin made by ice.
But I could felt littile bit warm air under cold sky today.
One no windy day.
Under Tokyo Express way, along Sumida river, Tokyo, Japan.
The whole doctrine is admirably summed up in the journal of one of our great modern Cistercians, Dom Symphorien . . . He writes “Where God is leading us is not to sanctity as it is too commonly understood, that is to say, the embellishment of ourselves: but to annihilation and destruction of ourselves. But, if we are to attain this end, God will have to do everything: select our crosses, place them on our shoulders, pick us up after our falls, strip us, nail us, make us die on the cross: the hand of the Lord alone can do all this!”

This pair of Sharpes coaches have been in Northern France this week and are seen at Parc Bagatelle on 27th June. 2018. Volvo B12B Van Hool Alizee T9 YIB 827 was new to Maynes of Buckie as MM05 GSM whilst Van Hool Altano TDX21 3 TYX came from Luxury Transport, Hayes, in 2017 where it was registered YH63 CXZ.
Sony HX400V---I looked at the sharp bend in this contrail and was surprised to see an airliner make a turn like that. I went home and used the Flight Radar 24 Program to check out the plane. It really did make that turn. It was a 737-900, going from Las Vegas to Portland. It was at 16,700 feet of altitude and was flying at 398 mph.
I thought there might be some trouble and that it was diverting to a closer airport. But after checking the airport data, I found that shortly before, the wind at Portland had shifted and was coming from the opposite direction it had just before this. So the plane was turning to come in from the East, rather than from the West, as had been planned previously. It's an interesting program, if you use the information you can pull up from it.
What a treat this morning. Had a Sharp-Shinned Hawk land on the bird house 15 ft from the kitchen window.
Kinda funky rendering of a sample shot using my Panasonic GF1 body with Tokina 70-210mm f4-5.6 legacy lens attached. Not too bad for an old lens and hand-focused with old eyes!
A Sharp-shinned Hawk that was circling high over Santiago Park, in northeast Santa Ana (Orange County), CA. 3 December, 2016. Appears to show the proportionately shorter tail (vs. Cooper's), with the sharply squared off tail tip. The head size and projection beyond the plane of the wings appears relatively small, this being accentuated in Sharp-shins by the wings, which when soaring are often held just slightly forward from the body (in the above photo this appears fairly subtle, but can be more pronounced in this species). Cooper's, when soaring, always seem to hold their wings straight out--perpendicular to the body--which helps to accentuate the head projection beyond the plane of the wings. Lastly, although this bird was getting fairly distant, it does not appear to show a prominent white terminal band on the tail, which is normally easy to see on a Cooper's Hawk.

Olympus C-5060 self-converted to infrared, Hoya R72 filter used, white balance was set for the grass.
A butterfly at Chicago Botanic Gardens. The attenae extended away from the butterfly's head at such an angle that they actually left the focal plane!
I came across 4 sharp tailed grouse today. Unfortunately I had too much lens on (not a problem I'm used to), and could not back up and keep the birds in view.
They survive the extreme cold, by borrowing into the snow at cold temps. A few days ago, I saw one with just its head out of the snow, as I approached to investigate, the snow exploded into flying grouse.
You can also see the feathers on the feet to keep them warm even when they are about in the cold.
