Based on the behaviour of these two, the Polar Bear breeding program at the Toronto Zoo is coming along just fine. A little splash-fight between mates never hurts, I guess.

After the violence of this morning Dilly the Kicker is contained for a few minutes to think over her bad behaviour!
Spotted this seagull having 40 winks (or whatever the seagull equivalent is) on a chimney of a house opposite my flat recently. Taken from a collection of photos I’ve put together called “Behaviour of the UK’s common birds”. I’ve got another set with the same name, but if I put them on here I’ll probably be arrested. So I won’t.
there's definitely no logic

The street art festival was the reason for my visit to Waterford this week. There was a lot to see and photograph making it difficult for me to describe the locations or the artists so if you want more information I suggest that you visit waterfordwalls.ie/
In general the local population appeared to be very excite about this year’s festival which is good.
For some strange some people, when the see me photographing something, assume that I support or approve of or that I am in someway responsible for what I am photographing. For example if I photograph a poster relating to a pro-life meeting then I am attacked for being a pro-life supporter [a few years ago I was physically assaulted].
During my recent visit to Waterford a gentleman placed his hand on my lens and accused me of supporting anti-social behaviour by photographing examples of streetart [actually he uses words that I cannot publish here]. At the time I did not realise that he badly marked the wide-angle lens that I was using at the time. When I reviewed my photographs on my return to the hotel I discovered that many photographs were unusable because of large greasy streaks on my 15mm lens and it took hours to fully clean it.

How gorgeous is my baby girl and what a smiler.

Walking along the Millennium Trail in downtown Whitehorse, I happened upon this quite friendly squirrel in one of the trees.
I can't help but think that something happens to animal attitudes in hot weather. On a cold day, any squirrel worth its salt would have scurried away long before I got this close, yet in the summer heat, it just waited while I snapped my photos. I've noticed similar behaviour from other critters, including other squirrels, but maybe I'm just imagining things... Human beings, after all, seem to get shorter tempered as the mercury rises.
Photo shot hend-held with image stabilization turned off. Camera was an Olympus E-30 with Zuiko 70-300mm mounted. The photo was unmodified from the camera except for the usual shrinkage for Flickr.
