Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal - 04 de Fevereiro de 2016

:):):):):):) very expressive face

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS, when nothing was happening, we all have them, was sitting in the hide, waiting, and willing this tufty to swim past this area of reeds that was being highlighted by a brief show of sun, which also meant it had to go past the hide, eventually it took a mad rush, hence the large wake of water, and luckily, managed to capture this one.

The bears come down to the shore on the edge of Cook's Inlet to find dead fish washed up on the shore to eat. They are followed around by seagulls trying to snatch bits of fish for their own meal. These are fairly large birds when you compare their size to the big bear in the image.

Something different for today. Prayers for folks next-door in Alabama that got hit by tornadoes last night. We awoke to a tornado watch at 3 a.m. but everything is calm here. Check out the videos of the 2 guys & their dog driving through the wildfires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (Michael Luciano) ... I don't know how they got out of there - angels no doubt. These rains have hopefully helped with the fires.

This portrait was taken at the Taman Safari Park outside of Jakarta. I have seen quite a few crowned cranes in the wild in Africa, but never with the right light etc. to make into a dramatic portrait.

I don't remember whether this was a black or grey crane. If I remember correctly, they housed both in the same area. The light is playing tricks on me when I look at the series of images I took. I will just call it a crowned crane.

I saw this beautiful young swan in the water, very calm, serene and elegant. Such contrast between the swan and its dirty surrounding makes me think of Cinderella.

Aan de staart van de leeuw kun je zijn humeur aflezen, als de staart hard heen en weer zwiept, moet je maken dat je weg komt hij is namelijk dan boos. Maar als de staart zachtjes, met een kalm, rustig gangetje heen en weer gaat is hij tevreden.

Leeuwen hebben goede ogen. Dat komt omdat de ogen van een leeuw wat meer uit elkaar staan, hierdoor kunnen ze goed inschatten hoe ver iets is. Ook zijn de ogen geschikt om s ‘nachts en overdag goed te kunnen zien, er is een verschil s ‘nachts zien ze alleen zwart wit, maar overdag hebben ze kleuren(beeld). De ogen zijn groot tegenover de grote van zijn kop. De pupillen van een leeuw staan normaal wijd open, maar als de leeuw bang is worden de pupillen spleetjes net zoals je kat.

Door de stem te verhogen of te laten dalen of door harder of zachter te snorren kunnen leeuwen uiting geven aan vrees, opwinding en gevaar. De oorschelpen spelen ook een belangrijke rol bij de communicatie. Als het dier rustig is, liggen de oren gewoon plat en worden iets achterwaarts gehouden. Als de oren worden opgezet (recht omhoog) en, met de binnenkant naar voren, strak worden gehouden, is het dier op zijn hoede.
