Saturday Self-challenge: Take a picture in which something is obviously missing. So it is a picture of a certain thing that is not pictured. It must be obvious that something is missing.

These two Pine Siskins were fluttering for position at the free buffet at the window feeder. In the past few days we have been inundated with dozens of these birds at a time. All the feeders are full of these birds.

This little Caterpillar was about an inch long fully extended. In time, it will fly away.

While a Cedar Waxwing pushes off we get to see its undercarriage.

This Cedar Waxwing is guarding its nest in our backyard. The tree is a Japanese Maple.

Macro Monday: Something made of rubber. This is an old rubber hose. It is so old that all the hoses made at that time looked the same. You could have it in any colour so long as it was black. This one was cut and spliced together. It harkens back to a time when things were not so expendable.

Saturday Self Challenge: from the garden

Saturday Self-challenge: Memento Being that it is Father's Day weekend here in North America I found this little treasure to share this week. I got this for Father's day one year as I would spend a lot of time perusing the newspaper in the bathroom. I found out that I was not the only person who did that. I still do, but now it is using the tablet and checking out news, twitter, etc.

Macro Monday: Tied I found this black ribbon in a junk drawer and played around with it until I settled on this finished product.
