Red Hartebeest calf about to disappear into the dense shadows of the bushes in Addo Elephant national park...hurrying to keep up with its mother and the rest of the herd. It wasn't a very strong calf and seemed to be lagging far behind, walking with its tail between its legs and not looking as robust as the others...this image seems to make it look better than it actually did in real life sadly.
Out and about early on Saturday morning, I happened to spot this Red Deer 'leaping' across the field.
Harthope Linn which is located in the Harthope valley in Northumberland. It's actually quite a bit further west of where the OS map locates it. I was initially very confused (not difficult these days!), since there is a waterfall around the point on the OS map, but it isn't this one!

During these uncertain times, a "leap of faith" is sometimes necessary. This male Vermilion Flycatcher was doing exactly that.
Wood Frog. In the Northeast, they have a darker band across their eyes and tympanum (ear). In North Carolina, there is a distinct subspecies which is endangered. These frogs can be heard as early as late February.
With its small strong wings this Puffin propels itself from high up on the cliff to the sea far below. Again using its wings it can swim to depths of 200ft or more.
An incredible bird that spends most of its life at sea ,only coming ashore each spring to breed.

A male Wood Duck takes off to defy gravity. I barely captured the eye.
From allaboutbirds.org:
"Wood Ducks pair up in January, and most birds arriving at the breeding grounds in the spring are already paired. The Wood Duck is the only North American duck that regularly produces two broods in one year."

I don't know where i'm going
Don't know where I came from
I don't know if that's the sun or the shining of a hand gun
I don't if racing down the road i'm taking is leading to a cliff
Or a subway station
I might need a doctor might need to be a patient
All I'm saying
Only thing for certain
Is there ain't no sure thing
No one knows what lurking
Well back behind that curtain
No, no, no there ain't no way of knowing
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Is a leap of faith

With nightfall close at hand I watched these youngsters hightail it across the meadow when they were startled by something.
In seconds they were bounding over the obstacle course of winter's discarded vegetation. It was a very enjoyable moment to watch as they leapt so high and effortlessly to get to cover. The one in the back overtook not only its sibling but caught up to the mother. By the time they made it to the woods, he took first place in the lineup.
With the meadow filled with all the clutter of windswept grasses, I decided to process this more like a drawing and soften the tangled framing and enjoy the movement they created.
This girl is in several dance groups and she always steals the show with her fluid movements and expressive face. I don't know who she is or her background, though I assume she also does gymnastics due to her size and strength. She brings a lot of passion to her performances.

DSC_3083. Migration of Wildebeest in Kenya! Unfortunately they had chosen a very steep point to descent to the river. Awesome became sometimes really awful!
They found a safe way to descent shortly thereafter!

After crawling down the cliff to get to that little ledge, the last bit is to leap into the water, hopefully without hitting a submerged rock.
Santa Cruz, California.
I seek freedom, the freedom of my spirit. Freedom to smile again, to stop seeing clouds in the sky of my heart. I jump, I scream, I cry... And although it seems that I don't arrive, I will not stop fighting for it.
Big Horn Sheep leaping on the rocks at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. As much as I would like to tell you I had hired a guide and spent days or hours tracking them down in the wild, I took this photo and about 150 others of them playing in the campground. They come in most mornings to get water and put on a show

At one point on the Baja trip we were surrounded by a superpod of Long-beaked Common Dolphins (Delphinus capensis). We estimated about 3000 individuals that made the sea effervesce as far as they eye could see in all directions. When I looked down there were dozens of them riding the bow and they remained with us for at least half an hour. Most were just rising out of the water en masse but a few individuals leapt clear of the water, like this one at the front.
We have Common Dolphins in British waters but this is a different species; Delphinus delphis that has a shorter beak and a kinder looking face. Long-beaked Common Dolphins are only found in warmer waters around the tropics. But both species have the hourglass markings on the flanks.
I decided to wrap up my hooved wildlife series with a shot that actually shows some hooves. This Mountain Goat kid was only three or four weeks old, but it could speed across the boulders at the top of Mt. Evans like it was flat ground. Great fun watching that.

I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away, oh-oh-oh
You're not a voice
You're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for, I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?
