Belding's savannah sparrow, taken in Bolsa Chica Reserve
There is something about birds singing on barbed wire that always appeals to me, especially now.

For Macro Mondays #holes theme
Just one hole visible here (which I think is ok for the theme), and I'm kind-of excited that you can actually see all the way through it. Unfortunately, there's not much of interest on the other side, so it really isn't worth bothering to look. Plus looking closely would probably draw far too much attention to the detail, including a thread that I couldn't get rid of :-(
An interesting theme; got me thinking about how important holes are. Nice for them to get a bit of attention :-)
oh and I'm conscious that my photostream has been a bit monochromy of late - not quite sure how that happened :-) ; trying to get back to some colour soon, but this shot kind of lent itself to subtle toning
naked wires, their thoughts exposed for all to see,,
in darkness they are safe, but here, now they stand vulnerable

Wires on an old fence covered in tiny ice crystals from days of sub zero temperatures and heavy frosts.
Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).
Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing
The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.
Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.
Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.
Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.
Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."
After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.
During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.
Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.
I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.
A toy electric motor as a 1:1 macro. I suppose it belongs to the series "Märklin Metall" from the early 70ies. This was a modular kit system made of metal to construct mechanical things for older kit. This one is a still working motor, driven by a 9V battery. The copper wires induce a magnetic effect propelling this motor like in every electric driven engine.
Voigtlaender 2.5 110mm Macro Apo-Lanthar
Macros certainly show every bit of dust and debris! Fortunately, my husband had two unused wire brushes with two small bands of bristles. Here you see fewer than half of the bristles.
And then the sun began to shine. The trick was to avoid blowing the highlights...
Tiny. This macro amounts to 2 cm or .79 inches of part of the brush. Thanks for looking.
Some wired seats at the subway station "Candidplatz" in Munich. A really awesome station :) Thank you Chris (Das StadtKind) for this great idea :) Was a great day.
