This seagull seemed particularly proud of himself. Thus I've named this after another favourite song of mine called Proud by Heather Small. Here's a link to the music video.

This happy family had just finished a river-swim when I arrived.
First: Important Things for Don to Consider… Grizzly Bears are agile and can run up to 45 mph. Grizzly Bears can climb trees but curved claws and weight make this difficult. They can also swim and run up and downhill.
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and northwest Montana are the only areas south of Canada that still have large grizzly bear populations.
Grizzly bears were federally listed in the lower 48 states as a threatened species in 1975 due to unsustainable levels of human-caused mortality, habitat loss, and significant habitat alteration.
Grizzly bears may range over hundreds of square miles, and the potential for conflicts with human activities, especially when human food is present, will make the presence of a viable grizzly population a continuing challenge for its human neighbors in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Males weigh 200–700 pounds; females weigh 200–400 pounds. Adult Grizzly Bears stand about 3½ feet at the shoulder.
May live 15–30 years.
Grizzly bears are generally 1½ to 2 times larger than black bears of the same sex and age class within the same geographic region, and they have longer, more curved claws.
Lifetime home range: male, 800–2,000 square miles, female, 300–550 square miles.
Food includes rodents, insects, elk calves, cutthroat trout, roots, pine nuts, grasses, and large mammals.
The grizzly bear population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem was returned to the federal threatened species list in 2009.
Scientists and managers believe the grizzly population is doing well. Grizzlies are raising cubs in nearly all portions of the Greater Yellowstone area. They are also dispersing into new habitat. Currently, they occupy 20,522 square miles in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Sometimes we forget how proud we should be, of the difficulties we went through, the decisions we made, the people we forgave, the fights we survived, the hope we kept all the way long.
We forget to keep being aware and conscious of all of this, all the amazing things we've done, and that's what gives room to our fears.
We should all, every now and then, have a break, and take time to proudly and kindly look at ourselves.
We're not that bad, after all ;)

I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. "Some" of my photographs may contain AI generated elements, such as backgrounds.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.
In the later 20th century, the area shifted its economic base to education, tourism, and services, largely based on healthcare/medicine, finance, and high technology such as robotics. Although Pittsburgh successfully shifted its economy and remained viable, the city's population has never rebounded to its industrial-era highs. While 680,000 people lived in the city proper in 1950, a combination of suburbanization and economic turbulence resulted in a decrease in city population, even as the metropolitan area population increased again.
During the late 2000s recession, Pittsburgh was economically strong, adding jobs when most cities were losing them. It was one of the few cities in the United States to see housing property values rise. Between 2006 and 2011, the Pittsburgh metropolitan statistical area (MSA) experienced over 10% appreciation in housing prices—the highest appreciation of the largest 25 MSAs in the United States, as 22 of the top 25 MSAs saw a depreciation of housing values Pittsburgh's story of economic regeneration was the inspiration of President Barack Obama to host the 2009 G-20 Pittsburgh summit.

Pheasants (/ˈfɛzənt/) are birds of several genera within the subfamily Phasianinae, of the family Phasianidae in the order Galliformes.
The family's native range is restricted to Asia.
Pheasants are characterized by strong sexual dimorphism, males being highly decorated with bright colors and adornments such as wattles.
Males are usually larger than females and have longer tails. Males play no part in rearing the young. Pheasants typically eat seeds and some insects.
The best-known is the common pheasant, which is widespread throughout the world in introduced feral populations and in farm operations.
Various other pheasant species are popular in aviaries, such as the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus).

An older photo, taken in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the young woman expressing her support of the then-new war, on the University of California campus, during a small, noon-time demonstration. I remember that some of the demonstrators were chanting "freedom isn't free", a military recruitment slogan of the era. This is non-commercial use and will be taken down immediately if there is any objection whatsoever to the inclusion of the person depicted in the photo.
