This female mallard took great care to keep herself between me and her family of 8 very young ducklings on a little stream in Osmington. Dad was nowhere to be seen, probably having a lie in.
Although she was wary of me being there, I was pleased I'd happened by on my early morning walk. When I turned around to leave, a huge fox was walking towards us. He and I were both so surprised that he turned tail and fled, and I didn't get a photo!! But it could have been a worse morning for the ducks...
i haven't posted in almost two weeks.
i don't think i've ever been absent for that long?
i don't know why, nothing's really inspired me enough to upload it.
but here i am with (hopefully) lots of new work! today i went to The Center for Birds of Prey where they were having their photography day, and i was able to photograph a multitude of falcons, eagles, and as you can see here, owls. all the birds were so beautiful, and i'm so happy to be able to get lots of shots that i wouldn't be able to normally. wildlife photography is fun! haha
so, if you guys don't mind seeing more pictures of all the birds, i'll upload some more of them throughout the week! this is the only real conceptual photo i planned, but i may use some of the pictures as stock images and stuff like that in the future. <3
This is my 3rd of 12 image for 12:12 Men. An instant film project with 11 other photographers around the world that take an image every month with a constant theme. It is a challenge for each of us to create something each month based on that theme. 12 different views each month for an entire year. Portraiture is my love and will definitely be a recurring theme in this project for me. This months theme was Animal Instinct. I have always been attracted to knowledge over most things so when I thought about what animal instinct I would most resemble, it would be an owl.

Another leaping salmon shot from Stainforth Force. There were still lots jumping the falls today, easily as many as there were last Monday and again it was a brilliant spectacle! I noticed that the salmon I saw today were more colourful and imagine that's down to the length of time the fish have been in the river system with its peaty water.

Take it as what you will. It could mean so many things...I think I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
"There is in the human body a certain instinct for what is beneficial to us, as there is in the heart for what is our moral duty, an instinct which no authorisation by a doctor of medecine or divinity can replace.
We know that cold baths are bad for us, but we like them: we can always find a doctor to recommend them, not to prevent them from doing us harm."
(from "The Captive" by Marcel Proust - French novelist, 1871-1922)
This man was stepping into the cold holy waters of the Ganges at Lal ghat in Varanasi (Benaras)...
-------------------------------------
"Il y a dans notre corps un certain instinct de ce qui nous est salutaire, comme dans le cœur de ce qui est le devoir moral, et qu’aucune autorisation du docteur en médecine ou en théologie ne peut suppléer.
Nous savons que les bains froids nous font mal, nous les aimons, nous trouverons toujours un médecin pour nous les conseiller, non pour empêcher qu’ils ne nous fassent mal."
("La Prisonnière" de Marcel Proust - Ecrivain français 1871-1922)
Cet homme pénétrait dans les eaux glacées et sacrées du Ganges en bas de Lal ghat à Benares...

Elle a l'air bien paisible et imperturbable, cette vache allaitant son petit près de l'étang de Regnière-Écluse...Mais dès que je me suis immobilisée et ai voulu prendre une photo, ses yeux se sont portés sur moi et m'ont regardé droit dans les miens... "T'approche pas plus !" 😉

Hello, this is a dramatic moment, cached when this wonderful dog was drinking water in a font. After that, i promise you, this dog was very kind, but a simple thing like drink water, sometimes, becomes a wild instinct

" sometimes when faced with a very dangerous situation, you dont need to have a state of the art equipment, nor a masters degree from a reputable university to figure out what to do...
when the adrenalin kicks in.. and you feel the rush,
....just go with the flow dude "
Note: constructive critiques accepted, i'd love to know my mistakes and ways to make better images in the future.
