El 14 de marzo es el aniversario del nacimiento y muerte de Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente y al igual que otros muchos me gustaría rendirle un pequeño homenaje con esta foto de sus grandes amigos, los lobos, tomada en el Centro de Interpretación del Lobo Ibérico.
A Praça Rodrigues Lobo é um espaço de referência da cidade de Leiria, Portugal. É um polo de desenvolvimento e animação da cidade e do centro histórico da mesma, sendo dos primeiros locais onde se instalou a população que saiu das muralhas do castelo para viver perto do rio, zona que ficaria conhecida como Rossio. Desde a Idade Média que a praça funcionou como feira, até a construção do Mercado Santana. Hoje a praça tem um importante papel na vida comercial e social da cidade, sendo um espaço de lazer e convívio nas muitas esplanadas ali existentes. A praça adquire então o seu nome, praça Rodrigues Lobo, em homenagem ao poeta leiriense do século XVI, Francisco Rodrigues Lobo. A praça é um dos principais pontos turísticos da cidade, com a sua calçada à portuguesa, a realização de iniciativas culturais e de lazer e a vista para o Castelo.
Rodrigues Lobo Square is a reference space in the city of Leiria, Portugal. It is a center of development and animation of the city and its historic center, being one of the first places where the population that left the castle walls to live near the river settled, an area that would become known as Rossio. Since the Middle Ages, the square functioned as a market, until the construction of the Santana Market. Today the square plays an important role in the commercial and social life of the city, being a space for leisure and socializing on the many terraces there. The square then acquires its name, Rodrigues Lobo square, in honor of the 16th century poet from Leiria, Francisco Rodrigues Lobo. The square is one of the main tourist attractions of the city, with its Portuguese-style sidewalk, the realization of cultural and leisure initiatives and the view of the Castle.
A lone wolf (the Lamar pack alpha male, I was told by a Park Guide) checking the willow stands along the Lamar River in Yellowstone National Park in May of 2011.
When wolves were reintroduced into the Yellowstone ecosystem in the mid-1990s, there were few willows along the Lamar River. After humans hunted wolves in Yellowstone to nonexistence 50 years earlier, the elk population exploded, and herds over-browsed the willow stands. Soon, the willow were nearly gone and there were other deleterious effects on the habitat, too. Within a decade after being reintroduced, the wolves had set that right and vegetation along the Lamar River valley was returning. Elk populations in Yellowstone declined of course, but they have also retreated away from the river valleys and are not threatened. Definitely, they are not browsing the vegetation as much. An old story, but one that I love.
I was also told by one of the Park guides that several days previously to this a lone wolf had brought down and eaten an adult elk. Ravens joined in, too, I bet.
This White-tailed Deer presented a golden photo opportunity while my brother and sister in law and I were visiting Point Lobos state park at Carmel, California on April 22, 2010. I was able to stay close to him, as he was near the road and I could take my photos through the car window.

Entre las diversas especies de lobo existentes en nuestro planeta, una de ellas es la que conocemos como lobo de Alaska, cuyo nombre científico es el de “canis lupus pambasileus”.
Como podemos deducir por su nombre, se trata de un animal que vive en Alaska, en cuyos bosques han encontrado su hábitat ideal. También se pueden avistar algunos ejemplares en la zona noroeste de Canadá.
Cabe destacar que el lobo de Alaska es el lobo de mayor tamaño de los que se conocen actualmente, pudiendo alcanzar un peso de 75 kilos.
El lobo de Alaska tiene un aspecto físico que recuerda mucho al perro de raza Husky, siendo generalmente su pelaje de color gris, mientras que la frente y el dorso son de color negro.

Point Lobos has several different points, with associated bays and small beaches; one of them was the wondrous pebble beach [below]. I'm guessing the many-colored pebbles came from the conglomerate rocks that form the point.
The tide was on its way out - but this was still an unsafe place for a camera, due to the salty spray in the air.

Quite a walk but worth it!!
