The wildlife within Yellowstone NP encounter daily struggles in their survival ... especially in the winter season. Not only are they exposed to extreme temperatures and weather conditions, but food is also scarce, and the predators are always lurking for their next meal.
This image was taken while on a tour of Yellowstone NP about a month ago. We were fortunate to encounter a great variety of wildlife while there, including several sightings of elk. The numbers of elk however were less than I had anticipated. This gal was actively feeding on the shoreline vegetation along the winter. She rooted around through the snow for some tasty nibbles, but always remained on alert for intruders.
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.

Holy Moley....... From forties whole last week to 13F with a wind chill this morning of a negative 2 degrees.
Cover those strawberries immediately. 2025 is going out cold. And 2026 is brewing up the same way.
Sooooooooooooooo, Stay tuned for further updates. Because a strawberry, although can withstand frost. Is always most fresh, juicy, and succulent, when under a summer sun..... Not to be confused with a Son of a bitch.....
Those are the ones that give you road rage. And you whip the finger at. Normally dopey looking. With tree hugger bumper stickers. But a stick up their ass. Walk around like their nose is always looking for the sun. Bump into lots of stuff. Clumsy assholes. Probably have a mother who dresses them and think they're precious. Their mothers are blind and deaf. Not ranting. Trying to keep my jaw from freezing up. Later......

These gregarious animals are often seen in groups, and several families may live together in a large community. Squirrel-sized meerkats are mongooses famed for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the southern African plains where they live. Mothers can even nurse their young while standing.
Meerkats (also called suricates) work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet. Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
Meerkat groups utilize several different burrows and move from one to another. Each burrow is an extensive tunnel-and-room system that remains cool even under the broiling African sun. Females give birth to two to four young each year in one of the group's burrows. Fathers and siblings help to raise meerkat young, teaching them to play and forage and alerting them to the ever present danger from above. Young meerkats are so fearful of predatory birds that even airplanes will send them diving for cover.

I rather got my churches in Seal mixed up, there is a much more ancient church in the main part of the village, but St Lawrence is a very fine Victorian church, situated at the edge of a large wood, and was found open.
Despite coming here by accident, I have a soft spot for Victorian churches and glass, so this was one of those good mistakes!
------------------------------------------------
A romantic story and one of the most atmospheric Victorian churches in Kent. The story starts with the death of the six-year-old daughter of the local landowners whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight. The daughter, Rachel was buried there at the Church of St Lawrence and here at Seal her parents started to build a church that resembled it. The architect was Howell and the builders Constable of Penshurst (both of whom were working on the patron's house to the north of the churchyard). The church - plain nave and chancel - opened in 1868. In 1876 two transepts were added in memory of another daughter of the patrons who had died aged 14 and the tower was a later addition of 1888. Today the interior is a period piece of late Victorian art. The east window designed by Henry Holliday is by Lavers and Barraud. In the south transept the faces in the glass represent the deceased daughter. Over the choir stalls are fine Venetian lamps, whilst the chandeliers in the nave were gifts from the patrons when the church was built.

-----------------------------------------------
St Lawrence church is named after the parish of St Lawrence on the Isle of Wight - it was there that the 6-year old daughter of Mr and Mrs Wilkinson of Frankfield (the house you can see across the field to the north of our church) had died in 1866 while on holiday.
In Mary Rachel's memory, the Wilkinsons built our St Lawrence's Church in 1867/8, and once completed, Mary Rachel's remains were exhumed and re-buried in our churchyard as the first entry in St Lawrence's Burials Register.
(You can see a picture of Mary Rachel here as depicted in the top window in our chancel. File size is 1MB!)
Indeed, the original building was modelled on Old St Lawrence Church, Isle of Wight
(a tiny 12th Century church - see the pictures on the windowsill at the west end of the church.)
867Foundation stone laid on 8th October 1867
St Lawrence District was established (4 November, out of the chaplaincy of Seal, originally part of the large parish of Kemsing) by an Order of Her Majesty in Council, and the Revd B P Thompson, M A, was appointed Incumbent on the nomination of Horace Wilkinson, Esq.
1868Church built from Kentish Ragstone from the local Foxbury Quarry, and lined with soft yellow Speldhurst stone.
The Pulpit is also of Speldhurst stone; The white roof of the porch is made of blocks of Otford chalk.

2009Plans for a second Garden of Remembrance (space for the burial of Ashes) in our churchyard
On Bank Holiday Monday, 30th May 2005, at approx 12:15 pm, St Lawrence’s church was struck by lightning.
The ensuing fire severely destroyed the roof of the chancel (East end of the church), and caused secondary (e.g. smoke)
damage to the rest of the church
Worship and other services continued!
Repair work was undertaken; we were able to return to the cleaned nave by the end of November 2005, and the remaining repairs (including some re-ordering) were completed by late 2006
The church was (and still is) fully insured for the major direct costs
We have lots of Thank You's to share
Our celebration service to mark completion of the repairs took place on Sunday 10 December 2006
During a severe thunderstorm on 30th May 2005 (Bank Holiday Monday) lightning appears to have entered St Lawrence Church at the junction of the vestry roof and the lower edge of the chancel roof. (NB The church did/does have a lightning conductor on the tower, and we had just received a month earlier the certificate indicating it had passed all tests. Moral: Lightning conductors only reduce the chance of damage!)
Two walkers who had been sheltering under the church lychgate from the thunderstorm saw the initial strike. Though without a phone themselves, they alerted a group of young people from local Sevenoaks Churches who (Praise the Lord!) had volunteered to spend their Bank Holiday Monday to prepare a children's garden area at the adjacent St Lawrence School. Like all young people, they had plenty of mobile phones to start making those necessary calls to the emergency services and contacts. (We had a month earlier updated the list in the church porch of our “Who’s Who” of church contacts – keeping an up-to-date noticeboard has always been one of our priorities of demonstrating we are a living church!)
One fire engine was already attending another lightning strike (fortunately much less severe) at Lower Frankfield, so was on site within minutes. Eventually five appliances attended, with attention divided between getting irreplaceable items (altar frontals, etc) out of the church, and stripping off tiles from the roof to expose the burning timbers. Thanks to the fire crews’ great care in using the minimum amount of water, the resulting water damage has not been great.
The chancel arch acted in effect as a fire break, and helped keep the fire to the chancel and vestry roofs. But there was considerable smoke damage throughout the church. On first inspection, there was no damage to the stained glass.
A tin roof was been erected over the chancel, to help repair of its roof
Safety screening was been placed around the damaged chancel and vestry area (with loose tiles and scaffolding etc it was a dangerous area!)
A wooden screen was erected to completely separate chancel from nave. This was so that professional cleaning of the nave could take place independently (and sooner) than the longer-term repairs to the chancel and vestry. This screen was decorated by members of St Lawrence School and our own Sunday School
3 'roundels' by school and two by Sunday School)
The organ was been completely dismantled, cleaned and rebuilt
The electrical system in at least the chancel and vestry had to be replaced (inc. new heaters and lights). Again, we needed also to learn how much damage there may be to the electrics in the rest of the church
Some of the church contents, for example linens and altar frontals, had some slight smoke or moisture damage; these were sent away to be professionally cleaned and/or restored.
We began to consider some additional works which it would be prudent to undertake while workmen are on site. (e.g. since much of the electrical system needs replacing, what about better lighting, or improved heating?) We therefore expected and planned that in the end St Lawrence’s would emerge as an even better church!
We were fully insured for all the obvious up-front costs (building repairs, cleaning, additional hiring costs of e.g. Village Hall, loss of fees or other income). NB We were obviously not covered for additional works which we felt we should take the opportunity of doing
A letter of information was sent to all parish residents, to those on the Church Electoral Roll, and to others connected with the church
I've lost my patience on this BL seller after them receiving my payment more than three weeks ago and still no shipment even after the weekly communication with them .
So I filed a NSS - Non-Shipping Seller Alert !
Avoid this seller at all costs, it doesn't matter that they may have some cheap inventory but it's not worth the aggravation.
