Patti takes us to the edge, as she invites us to use any kind of edge in our photos for this week’s Lens Artists Challenge. I’ll start with shots of two fledglings, both of the Woodpecker family. They have progressed beyond the edge of their nests to the relative safety of my woodland deck. Both appear quite tentative – on edge – as they seek food here.
A few years ago I started posting “Reports from the Edge of a Continent” with photos taken at Long Beach, WA. The photo below was taken on a morning after a stormy night of slashing rain and gale fore winds. This immature Bald Eagle looked bedraggled and weary sitting on the edge of a driftwood raft.
It is a joy to watch Sanderling flocks as they gather at surf’s edge probing the sand for aquatic invertebrates. The feast is best at slack tide when they rush out pecking repeatedly with the tide and then turning tail to troop back with the incoming flow.
I featured Brown Pelicans on this week’s Wordless Wednesday. The shot below captures six birds as they coast just above the churning surf, ready to dive in at any moment to catch a meal. Their physical structure gives them an edge over other birds for this method of fishing.

I enjoyed your collection on the edge of the sea and at the edge of a continent. Great title for a blog, too!
Thank you Patti! Must admit it was a tough week for me, and I didn’t put as much into this post as it deserved. Such is life.
Some weeks are harder than others. I hope all’s well.
Thank you Patti. Right now I’m enjoying a few days with both my sisters in St. Louis – getting lots of shots!!!
Thank you. It did look quite forlorn!
Nice picture of the seaside eagle, Lindy!
