Point Lobos is the well-deserving subject of the often repeated quote by landscape artist Francis McComas: "The greatest meeting of land and water in the world." I don’t disagree. (Point Lobos State Reserve, CA)
Finally got the Namaari hair, this is what I came up with first. Made some upgrades to the Main Man and tacked on that thing on the right to round out the group.

Rock detail, Point Lobos, Eddie Weston Beach, California coast. fujichrome, scanned from the archive. Loved this place but I was there so briefly...
Point Lobos: where the land meets the sea, where the often ferocious surf pounds and sculpts the shoreline, tearing, chewing and eroding the granodiorite and Carmelo Formations. At once beautiful and raw, relentless and indifferent, gorgeous and dangerous: all qualities that encapsulate the 19th century notion of the sublime, the sense that nature is equally gorgeous and terrifying, equally awesome and unpredictable, a force to be contemplated but always respected. Point Lobos, for me a home away from home, a place that I come to nearly every year to shed away all the trappings of city life, to reconnect with that awe that this wondrous and raw place contains, a place that inspired wonderful photographs by Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Cole Weston, a place that fueled the creativity of novelist John Steinbeck, the poetry of Robinson Jeffers, the paintings of Percy Gray and Guy Rose, a place that offers spectacular breathtaking beauty where you can witness thousands of cormorants nesting, gray whales migrating, seals basking in the sun, pelicans flying in formation, sea otters frolicking, the sea battered Monterey Cypress struggling and the sea ever moving, ever eroding, ever ebbing, a place where one’s reliance on the human construct of time slips back into the random unpredictability of existence, reminding one of the impermanence and transience of our unnecessarily cluttered lives.

Aún hay vándalos por la zona. Y alanos. Y niñatos.
¡Ay, Tania, Tania...! Haz eso en el dormitorio de tus padres.
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.
Our Mr. Lobo has grown exponentially as they do.... he's just turned 7 months and of course is full of the expected puppy mischief of stealing and digging.
I love this photo that I took......he was exhausted after a full day of running, playing, chasing, swimming...totally pooped. Such a darling...

Profundo cañón calizo formado por una antigua e intensa erosión fluvial del río Lobos. Se sitúa en las sierras de pie de monte que separan las estribaciones de la Cordillera Ibérica y la alta meseta del Duero. El río se encajona desde Burgos y continúa horadando las calizas cretácicas en Soria recorriendo más de 25 km.
Este espacio natural fue declarado Parque Natural en 1985 y comprende una superficie de 9580 has.
La formación más espectacular es el propio Cañón fruto de la doble acción erosiva, de desgaste y, sobre todo, de disolución de la roca por el agua, siendo más vivo el hundimiento del lecho al ceder las grutas subterráneas, por lo que aparecen las típicas zonas cóncavas o lermas en los flancos del cañón, que además son muy vistosas por los teñidos de óxidos y aguas que escurre
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.
