A Blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) keeps a wary eye on an interloper (me) while foraging through the brush.
South Asian gang warfare is rife in London and a festival or mela is the perfect site for inter-gang sparring. The 50-odd-member Brick Lane Massive - largely teenage boys - controls the Brick Lane area. The Massive and other gangs such as the Drummond Street Boys, Cannon Street Posse and Shadwell Crew are all hangovers from the 1970s, when south Asian gangs formed among the second generation to protect themselves against the racist National Front skinheads. Today the bloody battles are more frequently between the gangs.
Actually, Simba is about to jump at my hand over my head! Sometimes, one is at risk - blindly looking through the camera's eye only! Now that's an unusal thought!
i've managed to trip the fire alarm last night. i was waken up by the piercing tone. initially i could not identify its source but then i saw some smoke in the corridor and noticed that the sensor is blinking red. It was not a friendly wakeup!
Source of the smoke turned out to be trivial - i've turned up a heater that was not used for long time and when thermostat switched it on sometime in the night, it started to burn away some dust that accumulated on the heating element.
i was scared, but anyway, even though there was no immediate danger, the alert definitely wasn't false. so i mark my belgian fire drill as "completed"
The coppersmith barbet or the crimson crested barbet (Megalaima haemacephala) peeping out of its nest hole before getting out on the food foraging trip. Being the time of their nesting season, these were very busy looking around for food. This fellow was watching around his nest carefully, which is in the tree hole, for predators and other before entering into the hole to greet his family.
One more sunny day photograph of my foster pup, available for adoption in NYC :)
His whiskers on the left side of his face (our right) are starting to grow back. I have no idea what happened to him but they were all super short on that side when we got him. His belly fur is starting to grow back too so he's a little less bald!

Misty, growing up quick, she is bright as a button, fast as lightning, and often found play fighting with Tilly....... sitting in the window, attacking the stair carpet, getting inside anything bag, or box shaped....
I was on the street when I came across this officer directing traffic at a work site. He was professional and made the site safe and traffic flow smooth. Great guy too!
I know it will happen, but, it's a little difficult for Cooper to relax....yet.
He seems to be on high alert at all times.
Ive said it before and i'll say it again- I have all the patience in the world for my little precious Cooper and just as much love to match!
The islands of Hawai'i have a unique wildlife due to their isolated location from the rest of the world. Thus, any imported plants or animals can pose high threats for the nature because natural competitors do not exist.
On Moloka'i instead of "wanted" signs for human criminals, you can find notices for plants or animals that damage the nature on the island.

Polly on the lookout for the next target...
The 350D she is using is my old bust one (AF shot to hell), but is perfect for mounting manual focus lenses on!
USCGC Alert (WMEC-630) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter and is the last 210-foot (64 m) medium endurance cutter constructed. The keel was laid on 5 January 1968 at the United States Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay, Maryland, and she was commissioned on Coast Guard Day, 4 August 1969. Alert derives her name from the early 19th century revenue cutter USRC Alert, which served in the early days of the Revenue Cutter Service.
