From our recent holiday - Alert Bay on Cormorant island. Weather was misty and drizzly but occasionally the sun would pop out and give a gorgeous light.

I mentioned the word cat and this is what she did. Border Collies are very territorial and if she saw another animal in the yard she would chase it out.
We are in Tucson Arizona's summer monsoon. I received these three warning alerts last Thursday. This is a shot of my iPhone's screen. It is less than three inches wide. I cropped it anyway even though it is less dramatic...

This is a cropped version of a recent prior submission which, the more I looked at it the less I liked it. This cuts out some distraction. I hope you enjoy it... more than the first! trh
Happy New Year!!

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae): that is, unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. The word "cheetah" is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning "variegated body."
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds of 70-75 mph in short bursts covering distances up to 460m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 68 mph in three seconds, faster than most supercars.
Sadly, cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Recent inbreeding causes cheetahs to share very similar genetic profiles. This has led to poor sperm, birth defects, cramped teeth, curled tails, and bent limbs. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.
Cheetahs are listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Red List of threatened species. Some 7,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Africa and (a few) Asia.
There have been successful breeding programmes, including the use of in vitro fertilisation, in zoos around the world. This beauty was seen at Chester Zoo.
This is a reworked version of an earlier image in my stream.
Nuthatches are small, quick moving birds. Taking a picture of them is quite a hassle. This is one of the successful ones (imho!)
A late-night shot of Lucy with a most interesting expression.
Probably because I'd just told her she would have to move soon...
The swift fox kits watch with trepidation as a Swainson's hawk flies low along the dirt road in front of them. The kits probably weigh only 3-4 pounds each, and as such are on the menu for some of the larger raptors in the area, especially golden eagles. They are smart to watch the skies and stay close to the safety of the den.
Striscia is very concentrated on the sounds of the spring! :-)
He is wild but very sweet!

I always feel a little electricity in the air when I come suddenly upon a deer in the wild. I think it has something to do with how alert the deer becomes when it senses my presence. There is a vibrancy inherent in this level of mindfulness--no thoughts or judgements--just a total immersion in observing the moment.
Now I'm heading back to immerse myself in work. See ya all next weekend.

The National Weather Alert alarm goes off and the guy says "Take Cover Now!". To me that mean grab my camera NOW and run out the front door and across the road. About 3 minute after this shot was taken and a couple dozen others I ran out of time. I am pretty sure that I broke my High School 100 yard dash record by at least a second!. I barely got wet.
While out for a morning walk with Murphy, I noticed this GBH perched on a rock in front of another cottage ... so I snuck down closer to grab a few exposures ;-)
