A, Praise Band, refers to a group of musicians who play contemporary worship music, usually at a church during services. This shot was taken at a Methodist men's retreat. The rest of the band is to camera left, out of view. Only one word of the song they were playing is captured from the screen it was projected on.

Fresh from their television fame in Seven Worlds | One Planet a cheetah alliance, two sets of brothers and a single male, hunting together in Kenya's Masai Mara and starring in Africa: Living Large on the Plains. Imagine our excitement when we sighted them setting out on the hunt: a singular experience!!
I photographed this buff banded rail at Corroboree Billabong in the Northern Territory of Australia. They are usually a very shy bird that runs away when they see someone but this one was different and hung around long enough for me to get a few good photos.
The concerned look is possibly due to the fact that there is a young chick nearby. It is very well camouflaged and this tangled undergrowth covers quite a wide area.

I truly hope that none of this huge banded stilt flock have been brought down by shotgun pellets now that the duck shooting season has begun in Victoria. We found empty cartridges scattered along the shoreline as evidence from last years massacre
When we were staying at the Kichwa Tembo Camp, located in Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, a group of 9 Banded Mongooses came into camp one morning and did their best to find grubs or other critters to eat under the short grass adjacent to the lodge.

From Wilkipedia:
The banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) is a mongoose species native from the Sahel to Southern Africa. It lives in savannas, open forests and grasslands and feeds primarily on beetles and millipedes. Mongooses use various types of dens for shelter including termite mounds. While most mongoose species live solitary lives, the banded mongoose live in colonies with a complex social structure.
The banded mongoose is a sturdy mongoose with a large head, small ears, short, muscular limbs and a long tail, almost as long as the rest of the body. Animals of wetter areas are larger and darker colored than animals of dryer regions. The abdominal part of the body is higher and rounder than the breast area. The rough fur is grayish brown and black, and there are several dark brown to black horizontal bars across the back. The limbs and snout are darker, while the underparts are lighter than the rest of the body. Banded mongooses have long strong claws that allow them to dig in the soil. The nose color of banded mongoose varies from gray-brown to orange-red.
An adult animal can reach a length of 30 to 45 cm and a weight of 1.5 to 2.25 kg. The tail is 15 to 30 cm long.

Blue banded bees are one of our most beautiful Australian native bees. They are about 11 mm long and have bands of metallic blue fur across their black abdomens.
Blue banded bees are solitary bees. This means that each female bee mates and then builds a solitary nest by herself. She builds her nest in a shallow burrow in clay soil or sometimes in mudbricks. Many blue banded bees may build their nest burrows in the same spot, close to one another, like neighbouring houses in a village.
Blue banded bees can perform a special type of pollination called 'buzz pollination'. Some flowers hide their pollen inside tiny capsules. A blue banded bee can grasp a flower like this and shiver her flight muscles, causing the pollen to shoot out of the capsule. She can then collect the pollen for her nest and carry it from flower to flower, pollinating the flowers. Quite a few of our native Australian flowers require buzz pollination eg Hibbertia, Senna.

This was taken at the 2nd Annual Duck-N-Jeep Jam which is a charity event hosted by The Greenwood County Sheriff’s Office and The Special Olympics! It’s aim obviously is to raise money for the Special Olympics Organization. By all accounts it was a great success.
My photographic plans, however, failed for the day. It was HOT and I just couldn't get in the groove to take photographs and those i did suffered from non attention to my camera settings or attempts at composition. I don’t often have days where I absolutely can not concentrate, even a little, on my photography but here was a major one. I felt hot, miserable and dehydrated no matter how much I drank. My wife suffered worse than I and almost passed out. I worried for her a eventually decided to get her out of there, albeit the event was almost over at that point.
Personal problems aside, this is a great and worthwhile charitable event. I can not wait until next year where I hope the weather will be a little milder or my wife and I are better prepared.
