I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans :-)

Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.
If you'd like to see more of my images, go to schockenphotography.com. I have many more images of eagles and other raptors as well as owls, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, songbirds and mammals and I have a full section on birds in flight which is my specialty.
it gives you a real image. I believe photography is about real life. I hate being in the studio and setting things up. To get an image of real life you have to be part of it. You can't be a photographer standing there with a camera. As soon as you do that everyone starts posing or behaving in a different way. The Lomo is perfect for taking pictures without interrupting the flow of life :-)

My cousin Duke is here again for a visit!
He is a German shepherd/Alaskan malamute husky mix, eleven years old, and a big old softy even though he pretends to be gruff with me sometimes.
He was born in northern Canada as a potential sled dog, but Dad's daughter adopted him, which is a good thing for us, and probably him, we like to think.
As soon as we got him today he was anxious to get out for a walk, as he remembers the off-leash fun of the Prescott-Russell Trail, shown here, and some of the tamer side trails we think he can handle.
We stayed out about an hour, which is max for him now, and took it easy most of the way, which means limited running and no ball playing, even for me. Still, he displays a genuine enthusiasm for adventure, and loped around like a much younger dog at times.
We'll probably have him for a few days, so a couple more photos should be upcoming.
Good boy, Duke!

The Duke sweeps through the curve just outside Warwick parkway station and begins the climb up Hatton Bank at Budbrooke. 13:20hrs 11.12. 2004
Built in 1956 at Harland and Wolff, Belfast, the ship was used mainly as a ferry from Heysham to Belfast, although also cruises to Denmark, Norway, Spain and around Britain. In 1978 it was laid up in Barrow in Furness. Then in 1979 Sold to Empirewise Ltd who intended to use her as a static Leisure Centre. She was brought into a permanent dock and surrounded by sand for the Dee Estuary and known as the Funship. After a battle with the Local Authority, the owners halted the Funship Business. After it was used as storage, it was then sold again in 2012 but never used. 2024 the vessel is known to be land-locked in North Wales in poor condition and in contention with Flintshire County Council as to its ownership and future use.
Sleutelbloemvlinder (Hamearis lucina) Eifel Germany. The Duke of Burgundy, the only member of the genus Hamearis, is a European butterfly in the family Riodinidae. For many years, it was known as the "Duke of Burgundy fritillary", because the adult's chequered pattern is strongly reminiscent of "true" fritillaries of the family Nymphalidae.
The plant is Water avens (Geum rivale)

A flying visit up to the Lake District a few weeks ago, i knew the forecast was for fog and i have always wanted to get a shot of the boathouse in those conditions.

Frozen Duke - Dawn breaks upon the frosty shoreline of Ullswater with the frozen Duke of Portland boathouse catching the early light as mist rolls down the lake.
The hoar frost on the foreground reeds just hints at what an artic dawn it was; experiencing such ethereal conditions a year ago made waiting around on Ullswater's shore in such Siberian temperatures surprisingly bearable, actually enjoyable to be honest.
Spectacular hoar frost conditions on a fiercely, bitterly cold dawn.

I visited Ivinghoe just after the rain hoping to find some of these and possibly some of the many species of bee to be found there. This Duke Of Burgundy was a little sluggish after the shower but only allowed me to take a couple of shots before fluttering off in search of love. Always a pleasure to see these in the very short window of opportunity we have, especially as there are not many locations left due to habitat loss. Fortunately the land these are on is quite save partly due to its geology and also the efforts of local wildlife trusts. This makes it a stronghold for many species of butterfly that are in decline elsewhere.

This is The Duke of Cumberland, Shepherd Neame in Whitstable. This pub stands at the northern end of the High Street with Sea Street to the West and Harbour Street to the east.
I quickly went down to the beach as the sky looked like it was going to be colourful from the sunset but this didn’t happen.
I walked through the town and noticed it was extremely quiet and no cars, so decided to stand in the middle of the road and get this shot.
