The Sunday Challenge: Show your hobbies, make a potatoshop/gimp.picmonkey picture show someone else making something, do a still life shot, whatever creativity means to you.

This Pileated Woodpecker is enjoying something he tore open on this old spruce stump. I don't think he knew that it is rude to stick his tongue out during a portrait shoot.

This fine fellow demonstrates that he can be photographed in landscape mode and does not always perch in portrait.

This Pileated Woodpecker blinks as he works over a dead stump. This is the first time we have seen one on the family recreational lake property in the 7 years I have been visiting. He was very focused on his task and allowed me to take a number of photos. Cropped.
