Great Egret -
From Audubon
A tall, stately white wader of quiet waters. Common, especially in the south, it may wander far to the north in late summer. Nearly wiped out in the United States in the late 1800s, when its plumes were sought for use in fashion, the Great Egret made a comeback after early conservationists put a stop to the slaughter and protected its colonies; as a result, this bird became the symbol of the National Audubon Society.
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.
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.
As the little hero leaps out of his fire chief car,
he calmly shares with his furry partner,
“Spot, I think we’re gonna need to call for back up.”
Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the following amazing creations:

Let's keep looking out for one another, lifting one another up, and working together!
Keep shining so bright, my friends!
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.
Taken at Bempton Cliffs.
Taking a leap of faith with Base Jumper Nicole at the Black Dragon formation in Utah. During my last trip my friend Scott managed to arrange shooting some base jumping fanatics at an area near Moab. I was to shoot from above and Scott was going to be shooting from across the canyon for a side view. I have rarely needed to photograph in shutter priority mode and this was a chance to learn something new about my camera. It was such a rush to stand at the top and photograph the falling jumpers, so much so that I was having trouble holding the camera still without shaking, my nerves were on edge and since this was the first time witnessing somebody jumping off of a 500ft cliff was an adrenaline rush even without having a chute on my back. As she stepped off of the brink I could hear her speaking to god. 🙏

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.

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.
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
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.

For Macro Mondays - Candy
Allen's frogs are a favourite of the children, so I bought some for them so I had some candy for Macro Monday. Each frog is 1 1/2 inches long.
Happy Macro Monday!

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.
