Callimico goeldii (a species of primates from the family of marmosets). Photo from Zoo in Kharkiv, Ukraine
This is from a farm near Dawson Creek, British Columbia on a day when all of the horses were near the outside fence. The foals were quite shy and sticking close to the mares but I waited long enough for a couple of the foals to be separated from the others. The darker colt was a bit bolder and it almost seemed that he was being protective of his young filly friend.
This photo is dedicated to my friend Jenny, who most of you probably know because she is a fabulous photographer and one of the best flickr members. Nobody takes better horse photos and her grizzly shots are also world class. Well, when I think of Jenny, I think grizzlies and horses, in that order but come to think of it, her landscapes and hummingbirds are pretty darn good too!
So, this one is for you Jenny.... and if anyone needs to be steered to her fabulous photostream to see her horses, bears and more, find her here:

(by the way, hand held shutter speed 1/80, zoomed to the equivalent of 225 mm, not bad for a shaky old guy)
Friendly Beaches on Tasmania's east coast.
Fortunately the beaches are a part of the stellar Freycinet National Park. Courland Bay on the other side of distant Butlers Point is locked up by rich knobs that get well sh!tty when you walk on THEIR sand (which is a legal right for all Tasmanians). knobs.

Male Southern Hawker Dragonfly (Aeshna Cyanea).
The more time I've spent photographing these intriguing creatures this summer the more my affection has grown for them and vice versa it seems. This inquisitive fellah landed on my leg twice and then decided to land in my lens hood, literally in my lens hood! Sadly no pictures I'm afraid as his visits were far too brief but it did make me smile nonetheless.
I've got a quite a few more 'head on' shots of these guys in flight but I thought I'd show a different side to them today with a couple more images of them in flight also included below.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make & I hope you're not too bored of dragonflies!

Jack is the friendliest goat at Belmont Audubon Habitat, and will follow me around for pats and brushing. I have to put the camera down sometimes and use both hands on him.

09/06/2023 - Plumley West.
Remaining in colourful yet grubby Colas colours, Class 60056 hauling the Liverpool Biomass Terminal '6e09' Drax Power Station loaded biomass hoppers, hands me my second GBRf (Colas void) livery variant on my final day of a pleasant week in the North West.
Even though it’s only just gone 10:00a.m. the month of June offers some pretty harsh lighting.
However, having only five days to tick off this location I wasn’t going to turn down the temptation of two Class 60’s in a ten minute spell with Class 60062 also passing in identical conditions.
Flapper shows that he's mostly a friendly guy. A little bit of a face-biter, but mostly super sweet and cuddly.
I know you are admiring my 3-layers of yard clothes and my fashion sense. Duck-bite-proof clothing is ALL the rage.
There's not much left of the ghost town of Friend, Oregon. Just a schoolhouse, cemetery, a mysterious concrete building, and this old general store and post office. Named after George J. Friend, the town with a brief history is just another casualty of a railroad line being abandoned and, per usual, the town followed suit. It was the final stop of the Great Southern Railroad that ceased operation in 1936.

Street view of Takaka on the day of the Saturday morning market. This lady saw me pointing the camera and gave a friendly wave and thumbs up. I am presuming there were pony rides somewhere but given the rural nature of this township and area, she might just have been taking the pony to a friend's house. The town has lots of good cafes hence the Dangerous Kitchen behind. Takaka is both rural, alternative and a fair tourist destination for those hardy enough to cycle or drive over the Takaka Hills.

"Friendly Fox” by Patti Deters. This wild fox came trotting along as I was admiring a pretty misty morning in the woods. He didn’t seem concerned with me being in his space and was standing on a small hill of grasses and weeds, looking at the camera, long enough for me to take a photo. Almost like he was saying “hello”. These canines look a bit like a dog with their long nose and pointy ears, and this one had pretty rust-colored fur and big bushy tail. The white tip on the tail is what helps identify it as an American Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes fulvous). Overlays and textures added for artistic effect.
