PIKAs are very successful species (fossils found from Upper Oligocene) populating mountain talus slopes above the timberline. They are hardly visible, mostly when they carry a chunk of grass they collect. Could be recognized by their high-pitched warning sound which is higher than a much larger animal, marmot.
Good lucky shots, Jederick!
Squeaky attempt to be funny, Polonois.
Our neighbors on the North don't have (so far) "religious" reality deniers who don't know which way is the ground they walk on - as we do.
I am sure, there is a huge conspiracy about Adam and Eve, too.
Long live conspiracies!
Your results stand out from so many others, Dan.
You have got a super condition for photography. Congratulations!
Would you reveal the specs - camera, lens and whether you used a tripod?
Cheers!
If you eat bread only about twice a year Miteehigh, you wouldn't own a bread machine, right?
If you can get by with a telephone, it is all right, too.
You can go even further and get by - buying postcards when you travel.
Or even better, you can carry a sketch pad.
Whatever makes you happy.
Cheers!
Billnikon, many, even cameras made of plastic can make pictures about the size you show.
Next time to convince somebody, store the original of your image for download?
Thank you!
Looking more like a yellow jacket.
Good shot Craig.
Did you take it with a telephone? It looks - either out of focus or shaken with a slow speed.
Happy shooting!
Amazing light control for sure, Thurber! Bravo!
Better than most of the other contributions we have had in here.
Great, relaxed model.
Thank you for sharing!
#2: A horsetail?
#3 and #4 beautiful, rich detail. Would make me use the focus stack.
Cheers!
#3: A nice catch of the moment! Your daughter has something that we call a "bombproof" (very secured) anchor there, Brent.
She looks like she is calling down: "Rope"!
Cheers!
Number 3 is a good one, Bill.
Is master Clyde still alive?
Cheers!
Well, the next stage is surgical body alterations - in order to look special?
