OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It's a large pano' so there will be some distortion :-)

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.

This bird showed up again a few minutes ago and reminded me to post this photo. Previously I posted a video. Yakima County, Washington.

All dirty... Distinctive. Fairly small, plump, and short-tailed. Dark brown above with bold white spotting on underparts. Bill is slightly decurved. Disjunct range. Populations in Venezuelan tepuis and southeastern South America have bold white eyebrow; Andean birds lack this. Almost always found in the vicinity of forested streams, but tends to stay hidden, foraging on or near the ground. Uncommon. ebird.org/species/shtstr1

Clean shirt, new shoes

And I don't know where I am goin' to

Silk suit, black tie (black tie)

I don't need a reason why

They come runnin' just as fast as they can

'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

Gold watch, diamond ring

I ain't missin' not a single thing

Cufflinks, stick pin

When I step out I'm gonna do you in

They come runnin' just as fast as they can

'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

Top coat, top hat

And I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat

Black shades, white gloves

Lookin' sharp, lookin' for love

They come runnin' just as fast as they can

'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

Red Kite at Argaty. Was tracking this one up high when it decided to land sharply. Settings a bit out hence the grainy background.

Listen and staring ,,something in forest.

Sharp Tor panorama on Dartmoor. A fine day towards the end of May provided clear air for photography. This is a merged panorama from five portrait orientation shots taken at this gateway.

I have to say that in addition to being literally sharp, I also find this antique, beautifully crafted J.A. Henckels Friodur jack knife to be very sharp looking. It has been handed down through our family over the years and I have it displayed on a table with family photos and memorabilia.

Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!
