I have many robin friends - one in my own garden and others in clients' gardens, but I've not seen one before in Grovelands, nor had one follow me and jump on my shoe! Doug said he must know I'm a gardener and was wondering when I was going to dig up some worms for him! I speak the tik tik tikka tik of robins quite well!
I drive past these horses every day; today I had to stop and grab a picture of these beautiful creatures.
As I approached the fence, I saw four horses loitering in a rear corner of the pen. When they saw me, they casually walked over to greet me. I would have greeted them in return, with affectionate face petting, but I don't know how kindly the owner takes to people molesting his/her horses.
This "horse ranch" is really just a large, fenced-in backyard with a modest stable. It is located on a quite residential street in North Richland Hills, TX; it is really quite surprising when you see it for the first time.

This raccoon paid me a surprise visit while I was fishing off a 10ft cement bridge. I caught a fish and I think he wanted it. I was in the middle of the bridge with my camera about to take a fish picture when he showed up and scared the bejesus out of me. Yes he is 4-5ft away and no I didn't get the fish pic. The fish went flying back in the water but I did get the raccoons expression on camera. He pays me a visit every time I go fishing there now but he never gets this close. All rights reserved.

What Is It to Re-Think Radical Politics, Today?
Recent political events such as Brexit and the Trump victory should compel the Left to re-think its approaches. The rise of Right-wing populism is transforming the arena of conflict, struggle and antagonism in general, marking it with an increasingly xenophobic and nationalistic politics. How should the Left question and understand this arena anew? Is there an emergent politics, which can design effective forms of organization and confrontational strategies that can build on and extend in new ways logics of political communication? In what ways does the Left have to reconsider what it means to be radical – both in terms of agenda and strategy? How might the Left effectively adjust its trajectory and mobilize its forces to begin confronting the current moment with its increasingly hostile, cynical, and polarized social, economic, and political terrain?
Central to this new terrain is a rapid re-articulation of the relationship between the masses, communities, movements, infrastructure and media, both old and new. The challenge of this panel is: to explore new approaches to socio-political organization and mobilization, especially in the digital realm.
Moderated by Krystian Woznicki, this panel with prolific thinkers and researchers such as Natalie Fenton, Robert Latham and Jutta Weber will reflect on the data infrastructure of the public sphere, the role of digital media in the political field and a politics of re-collectivity that reconceives of conflict and struggle as progressive forces in democracy.
This panel, a copperation between Berliner Gazette and transmediale, has launched the Berliner Gazette annual project FRIENDLY FIRE.

The original speaker didn't show up for the "Machine Learning" teaser talk. Adewale Oshineye and Andrew Dalke jumped in with an improvised lighning talk.
I surprised this jackrabbit during a walk and he darted out of a shrub and started to run away, but then he stopped and looked at me. He knew I was watching him, and instead of standing still or running off as he would if he thought I was a predator, he moved around a little. I spoke to him softly and he just stood there. He even let me reach into my pocket to pull out my camera to photograph him.
At his position in the food chain I suppose he should consider anything bigger than him as a potential threat, but then if he has ever seen people before they probably didn't try to hurt him, and I guess he would have no fear of pronghorns, cattle, horses or burros (all four of which range freely in this part of Nevada). A full grown jackrabbit probably has nothing to fear from the air, so I suspect the only predators he really needs to worry about are coyotes and mountain lions.
Which means if you don't make any startling moves and speak softly you can probably hang out for as long as you want with a desert jackrabbit.
We have a few jackrabbits in our neighborhood in Hidden Valley, but many more of the small cottontails. Our local jackrabbits are far more skittish than the cottontails, and this fellow.
