“The river is moving.
The blackbird must be flying.”
—Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
Happy Mono Monday!
Depending on the region, leopards may mate all year round. The estrous cycle lasts about 46 days and the female usually is in heat for 6 - 7 days. Gestation lasts for 90 to 105 days. Cubs are usually born in a litter of 2 - 4 cubs. Mortality of cubs is estimated at 41 - 50% during the first year.
Females give birth in a cave, crevice among boulders, hollow tree, or thicket to make a den. Cubs are born with closed eyes, which open four to nine days after birth. The fur of the young tends to be longer and thicker than that of adults. Their pelage is also more gray in colour with less defined spots. Around three months of age, the young begin to follow the mother on hunts. At one year of age, leopard young can probably fend for themselves, but remain with the mother for 18 - 24 months.
The beautiful Luluka, female Leopard, gave birth to a cub in August, 2020. They normally move their dens every 2-3 weeks, so as to keep other predators away from the cub. Luluka was seen holding her cub in her jaws and moving dens nearly 3 kms away.

This van is around the Exchange District quite a bit and has had a few different murals and such painted on the side. This is the latest version. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
With enough horsepower to move the Earth this Commodore lays a patch.
What has become an annual event that just keeps on keeping on, is the Auto fest Spring car Nats held in Shepparton. Here is a link to the event organisers page, autofest.com.au/.
The event has been going for over 30 years, and for many there is no better way to spend the weekend than with like-minded people, as the entrants burn rubber with an excess of horsepower, that is thankfully quite obscene : )
There was and is everything from the go to woe, handling events, drifting, and of cause burn outs! Burnouts bouncing of the rev limiting, literally hitting the redline burnouts. How much rubber do they burn, enough so I can smell it from my house nearly a mile away : ) PS the smoke signals might be cultural appropriation, so some one should bring along a Pontiac and make it officially ok : P
Jack Danniels www.jackdaniels.com/en-au has a bar, so Tennessee is represented, although in the main part, not much American iron turns up at the event in comparison to the Australian contingent and Japanese cars.
V8s are the flavour, although you might be surprised like I was this year to see a Honda S2000 turn up, a pleasant inclusion, with one of the all-time great 4 bangers in it.
Black snot is a thing, that is if you can handle the close quarters action! You might like to take some year plugs, even then for about mile you will still be able to hear the cars at it.
As a car enthusiast I enjoy the day, friendly people getting their thing on, and having a great time.
PS. Make sure you drink lots of water, and keep hydrated!
A nice sunset, captured on my old but trusty Canon S100, one of the early prosumer compact camera pioneers. It's been superseded by iPhones but I still like using it.

Sometimes small changes can make all the difference in a landscape photo. For this shot, the cloud band was right at the top of the butte which really didn't do us any favors. So we decided to climb up the steep embankment behind us. Once we got high enough, the cloud band was above the butte and the shot worked!

they have lasted nearly a month! took these from the original giant bouquet i took home in april.

I shot and edited this at my Glasgow workshop in Scotland last week. I will post a blog about my travels lately, so I won't go into a ton of detail here....but lets just say my new dream is to move to Scotland. I am in London now and have been for 3 days. Tomorrow I begin a teaching stretch of 3 days of workshops, and then I head back to the states on Monday. It is amazing how I have been traveling for a full month almost and while I am itching to be back home with my love, I am also wishing I had just a bit more time to see new things. Ah, wanderlust :-)

Just for the fun, I have playing around with overlays and stuff. I had this picture of this rural road in the morning sun, but I needed some traffic :))

Quite a while since I've done a collection job but I was happy to help out West Kent Buses helping with the last two of a job lot of five Olympians. This pair were new to Centrewest for route 83, but have been well travelled around the First empire since. These are T893KLF and T899KLF, which last worked at First Kernow. They are seen in the yard behind Taunton Bus Station.
