I love cows for their trust and curiosity, I murmured soothing words as I leaned over the fence to get this group shot. It all went pear shaped when I invited then to a barbecue, but by then I has my shot. What was I saying about trust?

Saw some aurora alerts pop up on social media on this night and it didn't disappoint. Looking across the River Forth with the remnants of Carriden pier in the foreground.

Hard to resist a squirrel when he poses so nicely! Got a kick out of how he has positioned his paws across his chest, standing like a statue, as he stood on alert to make sure no one was coming to invade his territory.

Back in 2005, Ken & I both worked as subcontractors to NASA. A work friend discovered this in the basement of the building we worked in - Building 4610 - on Redstone Arsenal/Huntsville, Alabama. (incidentally the building my Dad worked in as a NASA employee), and we went down to look!

Robot alert! We "think" he was on loan from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center, as a fun exhibit. Made me think of WALL-E.

I just came across these old photos from 2005, looking through my archives for something else- 20 years ago!

Photographed on July 27, 2019.

Walk along the seaside in Alert Bay where the streets were empty and the place very quiet.

Baby Rabbit..

Cats become alert due to their natural instinct as both predator and prey, causing them to constantly scan for threats, prey, or environmental changes using superior hearing and vision.

Fox had been snoozing, curled up in a perfect circle, until something caught her attention!

Bear viewing @ Karluk Lake, Kodiak Island, Alaska

I had about 30 seconds to get a shot of this moose calf before it scurried back into the trees along with its sibling and mom. All three were pretty skittish and after I topped a small ridge into their view they quickly retreated. Taken near Soldotna, Alaska. Best viewed Large.

One of the cutest little birds...the oak titmouse.
