Your using the wrong equipment. A rifle works best on sky rats!
Bringing a big juicy bug back to the nest.
Beware of the thought police! 😅

On another note, this is a wild rose that is found throughout Alaska. It has a very nasty thorn that easily breaks off the branches. I stepped barefooted on one of the branches a few days ago, and got five of the small thorns embedded in my foot. My wife got four of them out, and I had to suffer for a few days until it finally poked out of my skin enough to be pulled. The thorns are extremely sharp, thin, and fragile at the base.
Used a Canon RF 100-500mm lens. It's not a macro lens, but it can be focused a little under 3 feet of distance.

We were at a pub in Barcombe the other day when two helicopters landed in the field next to the pub and the people got out and popped in for a drink. Oh how the other half lives!
That's too bad, Apple fanboy, but I "liked" you photo
By the way, the photos that for whoever reason I enjoy looking at, regardless of being horizontal or not, I give it a "Like." I don't criticize any photo I don't like.
That was my introduction to flying in Great Britain. Just arrived at RAF Lakenheath, not a member of the Aeroclub yet but went to lunch with an instructor. Flew to a dismantled RAF airfield, converted to civilian use. One of the support building had a full blown pub...and that is when I learned that British flight rules allowed alcohol, where prohibited hours before flight by American flight rules. The other thing I recall about that airfield the original crossing runway was closed and farmers were storing hay on the old runway. However, due to a strong crosswind on the active runway, the instructor taxied between the bales of hay on the closed runway and goosed it out of there with a direct 25kn headwind. Landing at Lakenheath was dicey and glad he had controls with his experience as the runway also had those same 25-30kn crosswinds which was max for the Piper. Had a full crab side approach, straightening just before touchdown.

Unfortunately it was basically empty at the time, but one local highlight crossed off the list.
