Malaika, the super mom cheetah of the Mara has once again successfully raised both her sons to adulthood. They are currently nearly 16 months old and shall soon be on their own to fend and feed themselves whilst Mamma goes away to raise another litter.
Photographed early in the morning in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
My Mom passed away on 04/10/2010. please remember her in your prayers. Mom even though you are not with us anymore but our love for you will shine brighter than the sun forever. May God bless your soul Mom (Amen)
Very early every morning the adult Sandhill cranes would pass through the water hyacinth and other water vegetation on a path from their nest to the berm where they would spend the day. The two baby colts would follow. The babies were sometimes very relunctant to make the final cross to dry land. On this morning the baby was not going to cross the water. Mom tried to encourage it but nothing was working.....She finally found a bug to coax it over...It worked. The water was about 2" deep...but when you are only about 6" high that must have seemed very scarey!!
한국 힘내라!!

They occupy our pillows as soon as I and my wife woke up.
my other idea for the 12:12 Project theme of "where it all began" was to make a portrait of my mother, since she is visiting -- but then someone else posted a polaroid of his mother, so i chose the yarn image (previous) instead. but here is mom.

(one more photo 'from this day' in the comments)
It's been many decades ago, but my memory is still fresh with thoughts of how my mom used to chase me after she discovered one of my many sins...
This is the mother of the two cubs that I posted yesterday.
Tom, I know if you look at MOM upside-down it spells WOW...;-)

Please keep my mom Queen MaiaCer Lysette in your prayers. She was rushed to the hospital with a possible heart attack.
Please all the prayer warriors pray for my mom.....She is loved by many and the glue that holds our family together.
Lord I humbly come before you and ask that you put a hedge of protection around mom.
Give her doctors the wisdome and the steady hands and only in Your Name Lord give her complete healing.
Amen
On the day we visited the New Orleans Art Institute, award winning local art was prominent throughout the museum. This struck me as a unversally tender and comforting interaction. The colors in the background added ethnicity to the scene. It was lovely.
This is a picture of me and my mom. Somebody had asked what sport I was onvolved in. I have done rowing for a number of years.
Eakins Oval, Philadelphia. With T4's greatly improved nest-building skills, Mom doesn't really have to do much these days. However she does still bring the occasional branch, and spends a few minutes each morning inside the nest tidying up.

National Chocolate Cake Day!
This is not your ordinary… everyday… came from some box… chocolate cake. Nope. This is ‘Mom’s Chocolate Cake’. Officially it might be called a Chocolate Icebox Cake with unsweetened whipping cream ‘frosting’. But in our family it is and will always be, Mom’s Cake.
For years, this was the cake my mother made me for my birthday in October. For as long as I can remember, Mom would make my favorite cake for my birthday. When I was in grade school, it was an angel food cake with mint ice cream. Then sometime after grade school, I was introduced to this cake… and I was hooked! For decades this was my birthday cake. Through my teens… then my twenties… and into my thirties this was my birthday present from Mom.
When Mom passed, I feared that the tradition would fade to memory. Then several years… and cake-less birthdays later… I met Yvonne. Hearing the story of Mom’s Cake, Yvonne sought out and recovered the recipe. Today she honors my mother’s memory by carrying on her birthday tradition. Mom’s Cake is now not just my favorite… the whole family really looks forward to October. Thanks Mom. You are missed, but never forgotten.
Happy National Chocolate Cake Day. (January 27)

Our female hawk greeted the morning perched in a plane tree. This time of year she hunts, and then she sits. Rinse & Repeat until mating season gets going in late winter.

"Mom" seems to have laid an egg in the nest on Eakins Oval. One or two more will follow in the next few days.

This is a picture my dad took of my mom 40 years ago on Chiemsee in Bavaria. This was shortly after my parents became engaged.
in 1962 mom would have been 33. This was taken at the top of the Jolly Cut at Mountain Brow Park in Hamilton, Ontario.
Twink really does like her raincoat....
She's just afraid the other dogs will
laugh at her. They are really JEALOUS!
Ella and mom at the wedding. She looked like a little princess herself. And although she looks angelic she has the most raucous laugh you could ever imagine.
There has been ongoing mourning throughout the country for Nelson Mandela. A sense of sadness all over. A sense of loss and gratitude. here was a man who with his personal charm and vision united instead of divided. yesterday my son sent me a wonderful link, one that really spoke to me about the great love all of us here have for him. It is a flashmob, at a woolworths store with the Soweto Gospel choir. If you have time and inclination here it is, I think its wonderful

Thank you all so much for your kind words this week
Just returned from the monkey temple down the road from our place.
Never know what to expect upon arriving and this trip was no different in that respect.
Coming around a corner at the base of the mountain I could hear festive music unlike the other day when all I herd was temple dogs barking and monkeys fighting.
Getting closer I observed workers putting up bleachers and a stage along with canvas shade with plastic chairs common here in Thailand.
Music sounded old Thai and very pleasant to the ears.
Spotted some shade under a big old tree close to where the bananas had been, pulled in and dismounted with camera in hand.
Slowly walked over where some monkeys were devouring a pile of Jack Fruit, found a safe comfortable spot and just started watching.
Seemed to be a number of females young and old, most with new born baby's in tow.
After about 10 minutes I noticed the females were having some kind of dispute among them. Soon it was obvious what was taking place !
Older females were attempting to kidnap the baby's from the younger females, which is only a guess on my part.
Many ideas come into play, sense there was a new Alpha Male ruling the tribe maybe they were trying to kill off the old Alpha's off spring. Maybe they were jealous, maybe I don't really have a clue !
A couple kidnappers ran off into the jungle with a new born never to be seen again. This is real life in the jungle. Brutal at times, Beautiful at others.
This little guy was terrified but reunited with his mom only seconds after this photo, she was only an arms length away and keeping a close eye on him.
Right after arriving the sun broke through the overcast sky and the temperature sky rocketed as did the humidity!
Figured a rain storm was about to take place at any time, so I shot fast.
Didn't take long and a couple of rain drops hit my hat, large like a marble and fast. Stepped back under an over hang of rock and boom sky opened up.
While standing there big vans started pulling in full of Thais here for some type of Buddhist ceremony.
As fast as the rain came it ended but one could see this is only the first of what the sky had in store for us.
Fired off a couple hundred more shots and figured this is good for today as lightning was now starting to make it's presence known in a violent display of noise and light.
Pulled the rain cover over the Think Tank Bag, mounted my ride and headed for home before being caught up in another down pour that was on it's way.
4 clicks from home the sky once again opened up right behind me and started to do it's thing.
Leaned forward, twisted the wick on my scooter and went for it.
Had no choice, rain was right on my heals, falling faster and faster and catching up quickly.
Came flying down the drive way and into the carport just as the whole sky lit up and opened up, close one...;-)

Of course WeeNee and The Worm were nice and dry waiting for my return, they both had been stretched out on the steps under cover with out a worry in the world.
For the most part I made it unscathed, slightly wet on the back and top of shoulders, no big deal at all.
Right now it's hard to see the other side of the river it's coming down so hard, monsoon will be here in June.
As for the duct tape, knife, and tape is if I get bit, wrap it and head for help. Knife is for what ever use it needs to be used for.
For the next week or so there will be a number of monkey photos coming, hope your up for it. Thanks in advance ..;-)
