A Squirrel jump. I had waited a long time for a inbound jump . But I did not get one. I was ready to wait further but had to leave to catch a flight. So Finally happy with an Out bound Jump.
Il Jumping Cholla o "Cholla saltante" è un tipo di cactus molto particolare del su-ovest degli stati uniti. La sua particolarità è che dai suoi rami si staccano facilmente dei pezzi rotondeggianti, coperti di spine, che sembrano quasi saltare appena vengono sfiorati. E' veramente difficile rimuovere le spine una volta che sono penetrate.

Who said Draft Horses can't jump ?! Here you have the proof that they can ! Well.. They sure don't look as elegant as real jumper horses cause of their chunkiness but if you meet a log on the path of your riding trail, be sure that the draft will go over it ! They are bombproof (well.. some aren't) and they won't back up !

I love the green grass and blue sky, such a nice day out!
These are so tiny and I do struggle to get them in focus so this is the best of a bad bunch :))
In my garden West Dorset
Spending two days at Point Reyes during chilly but beautiful weather was again a great treat. I saw river otters, many raptors and 7 bobcats...but not one of them close enough for a good shot! A little frustrated i drove back towards San Francisco but i had my gear still next to me, you never know. And as i was driving bear valley road there it was, a beautiful bobcat in a field, i was so excited not to mess things up i used full zoom and when the bobcat starts running i just shot continously hoping i get it in at least one shot. so here is the result, bobcat on the run, no crop!!! Point Reyes, CA
Jumping spiders use their legs to pounce on their prey, which is typically other insects. Amazingly, jumping spiders don't have special leg muscles, like grasshoppers, to help them leap. They propel themselves by suddenly changing the blood flow in their body. Terminix
Jumping spiders or the Salticidae are a family of spiders. As of 2019, it contained over 600 described genera and over 6000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Wikipedia

As much as I try to keep content interesting and unique, living in the California Central Valley makes that pretty tricky at times. My life doesn't always give me the chance to shoot something unique, but when it does, best believe you'll see me take it! This is definitely the case here with this photo at Casa Loma, located within the confines of Donner Pass.
SPMW 4032 is seen leading its siblings around the S-curve at Casa Loma. It is en route to Truckee in preparation for the Winter season. 4032 is a former SP Jordan Spreader built in the 1960s, and still wears "SPMW" like it did back then. Winter starts in 16 days, but UP sure isn't waiting, and potential snowstorms aren't either. A decent-sized storm was forecast to ensue within a day or two, convincing UP that it was a good time to send them up the pass.
As for the shot, I had to jump (as the title says) out of my friend's car with hardly 5 seconds to spare. Safe to say I got lucky with this one!

...while sailing from Piraeus to Kythnos, Greece, we had the amazing luck of meeting a pod of dolphins which lead the way while jumping and dancing infront of us.
One of the most amazing summer moments!

For the doubters among my followers...yep, I got the yip.
When I posted the Red-tailed Hawk yesterday, I mentioned that it flew across the prairie dog town while I was attempting to photograph a jump yip. Actually, I had already managed to get that shot about ten minutes before the hawk entered the scene.
During each trip to Black-tailed Prairie dog country, I've been rather intensively observing the little rascals with the intent of increasing my odds of capturing the jump yip. The payoff was that I captured nine of them during our latest trip.
Some info on jump yip behavior:
Black-tailed Prairie Dogs have a vast "vocabulary". Some scientists consider their vocalizations to be a language. They can communicate the type of predator/threat, the size, the color and whether it's on the ground or airborne.
One of their communications is called a "jump-yip" where one will stand up, seemingly without reason, on its haunches, lean back its head and call out "wee-oo." One of the main theories for this behavior has been that it's a signal of "all clear". But research has shown that they perform the jump-yip before, during and after dangerous events. Some researchers now conclude the whole point of jump-yipping is for one prairie dog to assess the alertness and responsiveness of his or her associates.
Jumping Spider, first time to take a click of one, interesting subject. This one was enjoying some type of ant for dinner.
A tiny little jumping spider, smaller than a pea, so not too scary for me to get close to. I think the species is heliophanus, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I found this amazing little male jumper, Euophrys monadnock, in a pine and oak woodland at Cheyenne Mountain State Park near Colorado Springs, Colorado on June 8, 2017.
So this would be one of the few times that I had a specific song in mind and I just wanted to find the right photo for it! So a pair of street dancers would match nicely with one of the most famous hip hop songs ever. And since we are still around Saint Patrick's celebrations, a little info (thank you Google) about the song: it was filmed during a Saint Patrick's parade in NYC but since it was Saint Patrick's there are a ton of Irish or Bostonian elements in the video clip (like Danny Boy wearing a Celtics jersey). Oh, by the way, I took this photo in Boston (which is the US city with the highest percentage of population with Irish decent)!
House of Pain - Jump around
(Colonus sylvanus). Angelina County, Texas.
We found this primarily arboreal jumping spider hanging out in our backyard garden.
This tiny guy was waiting for me on the hedge when I got back from my lunchtime bike ride. So, I thought I might as well do a focus stack. It played along nicely (for some of it) and allowed me to get a straight-on head shot. This is a stack of 22 images,
