This is Olive as Janet so affectionately named her, she was the hardest working mum you could have ever wished for. After the sudden disappearance of the male, she battled on with raising the three Owlets, working literally day and night finding food for them (I know this, as the trail cam picked up every food delivery) I have no idea when she slept, she was constant !!
All this is said in past tense, as she is no longer alive. Last Monday (6th) she was hit by a vehicle we think. After placing her up by my hide, she managed to fly up into the hedge, we were hoping she was just a little bruised. After nearly week of no sightings of any kind we feared the worst, but on Saturday evening she was down on the floor just feet from the hide. I whisked her immediately to the vets, but with all the virus restrictions, I just had to leave her at the door. I was promised a call on Sunday, to give me an update. Well, the call came, but it wasn't good news, she had a broken shoulder and had to be put down. Heaven knows how she flew on that Monday.
Would I have done things differently in hindsight..... I don't know. I was thinking of the three Owlets she had. It was like she came to pass them into my care.
I'm doing my best for them Olive !!!!

Mafuta is a rescued Serval based at Emdoneni Lodge. It is a cat rescue and aims to promote cat conservation. At present they have Servals, Cheetahs, African wildcats and Caracals. The animals they rescue cannot return to the wild as many were rescued as previous pets. However, they do breed and progeny are carefully reintroduced back to the wild.
Mafuta in particular was rescued as a pet.... his previous owner couldnt cope with him when he became a teenager. I remember him clearly when I visited 5 years ago. I took a low key image of him with his keeper. He's certainly very affectionate with keepers and guests.
Mafuta also likes the camera. Photographed at Emdoneni Lodge - Zululand cat conservation project - Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
A pair of Brown-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus) was swimming in leisure while keeping a close distance. Here the ambience and the romantic posture of the birds created a delightful composition. The Bokeh here made them look further charming. Pics was taken from Purbasthali wetland, West Bengal, India.
it was a brilliant golden afternoon.
I just stood at the historic bridge and looked at the captivating scenery.
everything was so quiet and affectionate just like an oil painting.
I finally knew why the book wrote: Venice is the city of falling angels.

Affectionately known as "The Mayor of Beck Street" Bob suffered a stroke about 6 years back that has effected his walking, but not his talking. He is always eager to fill us in on the latest gossip or to tell us an off color joke.
Hi there everybody.
I'm Olaf, I am about one year old. I was abandoned the past month. I found the home of a friend of Fernando. She told him about me because she is taking good care of other five cats.
Fernando came to pick up me the last weekend. On monday we went to the vet. Everything is Ok, I have good health. She chipped and vaccinated me.
I am friendly and very affectionate. I also love to play with the old toys of Rubio.
I like my new home. I hope to get along well with Chico and Lola. I'm very glad to meet you all :-)

Affectionately known as Stac Polly by the Scots.
We waited for an hour and a half for a gap in the clouds, so that beautiful warm light fell on the mountain and its surroundings. The colours in winter are truly stunning.
Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That is much appreciated.
Please view at the full size of 1600. It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
Alpacas are fantastic creatures that allow people to feel comfortable. They are so affectionate, friendly and, of course, invaluable, they are very simple, and they don't care what a person looks like and what he does and what he does.
This tree is affectionately called by locals, the Summerfolk tree because it stands at this spot where the annual Summerfolk music festival is held in our city. I have photographed it in many seasons and in different lights so it is always a challenge to capture it in a unique way. One huge limb broke off several years ago. The tree struggles to survive despite what Mother Nature throws at it. This was just a few days ago when we had our final dump of heavy snow. It’s the first time I have seen the tree this buried. Even the geese and ducks sank in the snow as soon as they landed near the tree. The Marina range light can be seen in the distance on the horizon that shows more snow coming.
The tallest of the AKC's spaniels, the Irish Water Spaniel is instantly recognizable by its crisply curled coat and tapering 'rat tail. Among the champion swimmers of dogdom, the alert and inquisitive IWS is hardworking and brave in the field, and playfully affectionate at home.

Aberystwyth, affectionately known as 'Aber', is a town with wider horizons than its rural coastline setting and relaxed lifestyle might suggest. As a university town, it's a melting pot of cultures and ideas: museums, archives and galleries reveal a depth of heritage to be discovered; superlatives abound: first, oldest, longest, best ...
Aberystwyth is an ideal base to explore the landscapes of Ceredigion the Cardigan Bay coast and the Cambrian Mountains.

8th July 2013 - Vickers VC.10 C1K 'XR808' (affectionately known as Bob) of 101 Squadron departs Waddington airshow. She is now a museum exhibit at the museum at RAF Cosford.
An immensely strong, heavy-duty worker of spitz type, the Alaskan Malamute is an affectionate, loyal, and playful but dignified dog recognizable by his well-furred plumed tail carried over the back, erect ears, and substantial bone.
Affectionately named Scorpio.
Red Tail Hawk I have been following since he was a 'pup'. He hanging out in local park we walk in mornings. Sitting on railing as people pass by or hopping around on grass by pond, sometimes oblivious to us walkers. Gives me a hissing noise or stare down when I point camera, then remains doing funny antics. Bit of a moody fellow.
An odd, yet fun study.

Dana, my parent's foster greyhound, has become very affectionate and close to their other greyhounds. She always likes to rest her head on their backs. She is such a sweet and loving dog, I hope she finds a deserving home
#8 most popular cats for 2022 by the Cat Fanciers' Association is the: British Shorthair. Covered in thick, plush fur with soft, round eyes, the British Shorthair is as cute as any cat could be. Adding to this is their friendly, affectionate personality. They’re playful and fun, though they also tend to be quite lazy! Your British Shorthair will spend most of its time lounging around, simply enjoying the relaxation. Though they’re very popular pets, their expensive pricing can make them unobtainable for many.
I will be away from Flickr for a few days. Best wishes from St. John's, Newfoundland (affectionately known as "The Rock") for a a safe and Happy New Year. The structure on the right skyline is the Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the one on the left skyline is "The Rooms" Museum.
This light, affectionately known to locals as Big Red, is one of Michigan's most iconic lights. It sits right across a channel from a beautiful state park with a huge sandy beach. Summertime finds the beach full, and crowds waiting for the often beautiful sunsets on lake Michigan.

The waterfall is called Summerhill Force, but because of the recess behind the waterfall it is more affectionately known as Gibson’s Cave.
Why so? Local legend has it that in the 16th Century there was an outlaw named William Gibson on the run from the Constables at Barnard Castle. It is said that he hid here in the cave like recess of the waterfall. Apparently he was locally a very liked man and people used to bring him clothes and food as he lived there, hidden behind the water.
An affectionate name for this bridge, which at high tide becomes completely surrounded by water.
It spans Biel Water, where it runs into the ocean at Belhaven, on the east coast of Scotland.
This was a little earlier in the evening than my previous post, not quite as stormy, with a hint of colour.
affectionate play beween two lionesses, when the one turned over to look at me lying on the floor of the low slung safari jeep...a magical moment, but a feeling of vulnerability too! even though we were close I still wanted to crop this shot to show her expression...
This little guy was affectionately named Buttons by the park staff at one of the campgrounds we stayed at on Vancouver Island. Although he ambled quietly towards our campsite at 6 pm both nights we were camping, he never bothered searching for food on our site. We had tucked all our food away in a locked metal bin on site. He simply climbed up the same tree as we watched him from a comfortable distance on our little deck. After observing him for a few minutes, I realized he was after the few apples hanging in the tree. He took a few bites from several apples and I waited until he showed himself in this opening in the branches. I was able to frame him nicely with a few apples hanging in view. When he was done, he would carefully and slowly slip down the tree trunk and amble off into the woods again. I wish all raccoons could be so polite. I have just this week put up the bird feeder in my back yard for our winter birds. I am hoping our backyard raccoons have gone to sleep with our recent snowfalls and will leave the feeder alone.
Two lions - brothers - photographed in the Timbavati Nature Reserve in South Africa. It forms part of the amazing Kruger National Park. Seeing this affectionate behavior in the wild was both a privileged and emotional experience for me. I will never forget it.

Affectionately known as "The chick on a stick" The Victory Column (German: Siegessäule, from Sieg ‘victory’ + Säule ‘column’) is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Second Schleswig War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, 8.3 metres (27 ft) high, designed by Friedrich Drake.
VIA 15 races across the East Mines trestle back on January 30, 2022 with 6414 & 6427 for power, as the fresh powder swirls around the Budd cars. Just out of frame to the right of the bridge, (strategically hidden) are the Renaissance cars, more affectionately known as the green slime, making up the now common hybrid Oceans. At this particular time I believe VIA was only running one or two round trips per week, however now things are back to as normal as they can be with the more recent three round trips weekly.
The White Shepherd is a variety of the German Shepherd bred in the United States. Although white-coated German Shepherds have been known in Europe as early as 1882, in 1933 the breed standard was amended in their native Germany, banning white-coated dogs from registration.
In the United States and Canada the coloration had gained a following and in 1969 a breed club was formed specifically for white-colored German Shepherds, calling their variety the White Shepherd. The variety is recognized as a separate breed by the United Kennel Club.
Mating Gannets at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. The male had been coming and going a number of times until the female finally relented, he was a bit aggressive though.
I'm going to conclude this series from England for now as I shall be taking a break from Flickr.
Luna was our last dog sit of the summer. She was a young black labrador full of beans and very affectionate! She took to us straight away. We were lucky to be staying right in the heart of the countryside which made for nice easy dog walks
The Maine Coon is the largest of all house cats, growing up to an impressive 40 inches. They’re often called “gentle giants” because they’re some of the friendliest, most affectionate of all cat breeds. For this reason, they’re highly sought after, which makes them very expensive compared to other breeds.
In this month of August I am celebrating my 10 years at Flickr.
It has been a unique and charming experience, in which I am learning a lot from very special people, and I believe I have made many friends who are fundamental in this learning.
I thank you so much for the support these dear people offer me, always using such kind and encouraging words.
To all of them without exception I dedicate these recently taken photos, in a Winter full of flowers and colors.
Hoping you like the photos, I send affectionate greetings.
