La luminosidad anaranjada del ocaso.

CIENFUEGOS.

Y ahora una pequeña reflexión, unos pequeños apuntes sobre la infancia y el pueblo..

¡ Creo que me estoy haciendo mayor ¡ ¡ Perdón ¡

" La niñez salvaje o cuando los días eran interminables".

Todo el santo día jugando en la calle hasta las tantas o hasta que alguna madre salía a la puerta de casa y dando cuatro voces, todos volvíamos corriendo al redil.

- Cuando fantaseábamos con ser mayores.

- Cuando todo resultaba relativamente sencillo.

- Cuando todo era dar rienda suelta a la imaginación.

- Cuando la calma se respiraba en el ambiente.

- Cuando aparentemente nunca sucedía nada.

- Cuando el mundo se reducía a las cuatro calles del pueblo.

- Cuando todo estaba por suceder.

- Cuando nunca desaprovechábamos la ocasión para fisgonear donde no debíamos.

- Cuando todo lo que leíamos comenzaba con un :

" Erase una vez ".

Siempre agradecido por vuestros comentarios. Feliz tarde para todos.

This first year cub was taking a rest in the mid-afternoon. I had posted this earlier, but corrected for a blue color cast. I think it a better photo now. Thanks to frangipani for his input and suggestion

saw this young coyote walking by himself in the grasses at Arastradero Preserve

Even though her cub is getting older, there still is a strong attachment to mom. We couldn't see this cub from the front which is evidence of the size of the mother.

This cub is first out most evenings , sits on the hill and surveys her surroundings

Snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia), also called ounce, is a carnivore that inhabits the mountainous regions of central Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

Its litters of two to four young are born after a gestation period of approximately 93 days.

Snow leopards have pretty long tails. About 80 – 100 cm in length as against its body length of 48 – 60 cm.

The snow leopard uses its bushy tail to keep balance when it jumps.

The tail allows the leopard to maneuver rather quickly.

The leopard uses its tail as a blanket when it is asleep, it wraps the tail around their body.

The snow leopard population is estimated to be only a few thousand animals, and the species is thus considered endangered.

A tightly cropped shot of this adorable white-phase black bear cub seen a few years ago.

It had rained hard all night and was chilly. Not sure how old she was but she was tiny. That dark color behind her is mother, so she was close by. I spent quite awhile watching them from a safe distance. Felt so bad for her, as she was cold and miserable. Mom was busy eating so she could better feed them but kept her eye on them as they explored and played. Best bear experience of my life.

I was pleased later to find reports and pictures of this family on line. Was concerned whether they survived. Last report they are fine and looking good. Relieved.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Curious little fox cub

A cub in wonderful sunlight. Enjoying the sun!

This wonderful Grizzly mother was watching us, but we weren't a threat to her or her cub.

This 2 year old cub wasn't worried or very interested in us.

This is an image from a trip to Yellowstone a few years ago. With Yellowstone, it takes a few days or longer to get a sense of what is going on with the wildlife; where the dens are located, where there's been a kill, what's the best place to get lucky and get a sighting and hopefully a photograph. I learned the general area where there was a Coyote den and managed to get there during the female's relocation, cub by cub, to a new unknown location. I believe she moved the remaining cubs during the night as there was no activity days following. (Canis latrans)

Fonte do Cubo se encuentra en Praca Ribeira. La plaza en sí se remonta al siglo XIV, y era un centro comercial ocupado, particularmente de peces. En la década de 1980 se realizaron algunas excavaciones arqueológicas en esta área, y se descubrió una antigua fuente. Vale la pena visitarlo, ya que la plaza es un lugar encantador para estar junto al río y el puente Dom Luis.

This was a long day of clamming for this young cub. The clams were small so they need to eat a lot of them.

This is how you throttle an antelope young fellow, where you are the antelope and I the hungry lion.

Had a wonderful sighting of a pride of lions in Kruger Park. There was lots going on with different members of the pride drinking and walking, but I spotted this cub on his own gazing down the road.

I don't know for sure but based on its size, I would guess it is 6-9 months old. A real cutie and one of those moments that I'll always cherish.

Last year I was very lucky to see a couple of cubs playing together in Namibia. Some of you may have seen my favourite shot, but if not it's here:

On our first evening at Erindi in Namibia we spent the last two hours of sunset with an adult male and female Lion, as well as this young cub. Estimated to be around 2 - 3 months old, once he'd stopped playing with Dad's ears he came over to investigate our jeep. Amazing experience!

Her mother and brother had moved on with barely a passing glance at the boat full of humans off the shore. This wild female Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) cub usually ignored us. Here she took an interest, getting low and sniffing our scent while watching us intently. Apparently satisfied (or bored) with us after a few moments, she moved on. A brief but invigorating encounter for us anyway.

Seit November 2019 verfügt die Fliegergruppe Giengen/Brenz e.V. auf der Irpfel über eine weitere Maschine. Es wurde ein Oldtimer vom Typ Piper Cub angeschafft.

Das Flugzeug aus amerikanischer Produktion ist Baujahr 1946 und wird von einem 65 PS starken Motor angetrieben. Trotz ihres Alters befindet sich die Piper technisch wie optisch in einem perfekten Zustand und wird in Zukunft auch von den Giengener Fliegern liebevoll gepflegt werden.

Die Piper dient den Piloten vor allem für lokale Genussflüge. Mit ihrer gemütlichen Reisegeschwindigkeit von 115 Stundenkilometern, Anwerfen von Hand und teils offenem Cockpit erinnert sie nostalgisch an die Ursprünge der Fliegerei.
