I believe this is a #Ferruginous #Hawk, seen in #Concord #MA at #greatmeadows. This hawk had two meals, right in front of myself and at least 3 other passersby. It is a rodent catching, apex predator.

American Lotus (Nelumbo lutea) seedhead, viewed from below the top of the long stalk. The nodding seedhead has 1.5cm wide seeds poking from chambers that are slightly smaller at the mouth than the seeds. The background is a frozen pond with dried Lotus seed heads and leaves, and far in the distance, a line of bare grey deciduous trees with a line dark conifers and a pale late-day sky
The American lotus is a bane of fishermen and a boon to foragers. The seeds make a tasty, healthy cereal, or a phenomenal flour. And it hosts lots of life in the Eastern States where it is native.

A Young Oak tree in a meadow. Unlike me, this tree may still be here hundreds of years from now.

I have been photographing macro without a macro lens. Cameras have so many megapixels these days you can just crop in on a decent telephoto shot and get near macro reproduction. These little cuties are all from Great Meadows in Concord MA.

If a tree stands in a forest, does it make a sound?
