Feeble attempt at the Macro Monday theme of 'Wire'
Had a rummage in wifey's drawers again to see if anything caught my eye! This was the brightest and most colourful thing I found!
Normally I wouldn't post anything with a wire running through it, but I had a chance to capture this Osprey with a fish on top of the hydro pole. I could not take the photo any other way as there obstacles in my way, and a rather large pond right in front of me.
We visited the Seattle Art Museum to view the Imogene Cunningham exhibit. Very inspiring!! This sculpture was near the exit of the Cunningham exhibit. Almost every time I visit the museum, I try to shoot this sculpture. I will keep trying....
Here's an image from flood waters running down Wire Pass. The water levels had subsided quite a bit before I took this shot and I liked how the stream led right towards the mountain peak with evening light.
With the westbound counterpart sitting in the siding, the eastbound H-STOPVO roars across the Nevada desert. Sitting next to the tracks, old SP telephone wire still stands even years after being taken out of service.
Examining the suporting structure on which the wire filamen is mounted inside an incandescent light bulb.
At first it looks as though this Green Heron has perched itself on a "Live Wire" (A wire carrying electric current), but thank goodness for the little "Greenie" the look just comes from a little morning Preening.
I don't normally post too many photos of birds on power lines but don't think I have ever seen a Green Heron perch on one. Maybe a common thing just never seen it before.
I found this one at Lake Marian. Osceola County, Florida.

The back of the box has been opened up to reveal the shipping restraints on the inside of the cardboard backing. There are wires, threads and plastic T-tacks.
The Disney Store's just released Classic Brave Merida 11'' Doll is photographed while being completely deboxed.
The Classic Merida doll comes with several accessories, including bow and arrow and quiver. Her outfit consists of a full length teal satin dress with gold trim, a full length black cloak made of a very elastic material with a large silver decorative button next to the velco closure at the neck. She is wearing brown shoes. All these accessories are removable.
She is fully articulated, including joints at her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. She is unique among Classic Disney 11-12'' dolls in having fully poseable feet. Her shoes are flat, but she cannot stand on her own because her shoes aren't big enough, her joints are not stiff enough, and she is top heavy and unbalanced towards the back.
She has a beautiful round face, a cute little nose and her pink lips forming sassy smirk. Her hazel eyes has a yellow sunburst center, that in conjunction with the large pupils look like the sun in mid annular eclipse. She has freckles across her cheeks and forehead. Finally she has a large mass of medium length curly orange-red hair.
I just bought all three different Merida dolls from my local Disney Store, on release day. They are the 16'' toddler ($24.50), 20'' plush ($19.50) and 11'' classic ($16.50).
The US Disney Store has just released (on Monday April 23, 2012) various merchandise, including poseable dolls, for Merida, the Scottish heroine of the upcoming animated feature Brave. They are available both online and in stores. The movie's premiere is on June 22 in the US.

An edited version/playing with noise reduction ... Do you notice the difference with the previous photo IMG_4849.2021.2ab. Kestrel.
Constantly scanning, patiently waiting ... This one showed up unexpectedly in my backyard-resting on the clothes dryer ...
Kestrels have excellent vision, scanning for prey from a tree, a roadside wire or a power line. If no high perch is available, they will soar over fields in search of large insects, small mammals, birds or reptiles.
Once it has located its prey, a kestrel will fly over its intended meal and hover motionless in the air, perfecting the angle of attack before dropping like a stone to seize its target with one or both feet. They can even catch prey in flight.
The kestrel will feed where it kills, or may hide the kill in grass clumps, tree cavities or bushes for a leaner time. Because of their relatively diminutive size, kestrels themselves may end up as prey to larger raptors.
Washed up or, perhaps more likely, hauled up onto the landwash at the breakwater in Quidi Vidi Gut.
I went on Friday morning to see the impressive icebergs grounded a half mile out but like this picture better than what I got of the bergs. The cable is about as wide as my forearm and there seems to be about fifty feet of it there strewn in a little ditch in the rocks supporting the breakwater. I don't know what it served as but it looks like it is fifty years old or more. TransAtlantic cables and WW2 anti-submarine defenses spring to mind, but maybe it's an underwater power cable, and thus the three thick wires at the core. Perhaps it is an artefact of the US military base that existed a half mile inland from here in the 1940s and '50s. Got any guesses?
