“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.”
Caimans are calm. 90 percent of their lives, they are lazy in the Sun or still waiting to pounce. Crocodiles remain perfectly camouflaged, often spending hours in the water. Only the eyes and nose sticking out.
Caïmans sont calmes. 90 pour cent de leur vie, ils sont paresseux au soleil, ou encore en attente à bondir. Crocodiles restent parfaitement camouflés, souvent passer des heures dans l'eau. Seulement les yeux et le nez qui sort.
Kaimane sind die Ruhe selbst. 90 Prozent ihres Lebens liegen sie faul in der Sonne oder still auf der Lauer. Perfekt getarnt, verharren Krokodile oft stundenlang im Wasser. Nur Augen und Nase schauen heraus.
1. During migration, 75 percent of the sandhill crane population can be found along a 75-mile stretch of the Platte River in Nebraska.
2. Sandhill crane offspring can be ready to leave the nest and even start swimming just eight hours after they hatch. Although the chicks are independently mobiles, they will stay with their parents up to 10 months after being born.
3. A female sandhill crane usually lays two pale-colored eggs with brown markings. She shares incubation duties with her mate for up to 32 days.
4. Both parents build a nest from cattails, sedges and grasses, but it’s unknown which parent chooses the nesting site. Nests can be up to 40 inches across and 6 inches high. (Read more: Meet the Best Bird Dads Around)
5. The oldest known sandhill crane fossil was found in the Macasphalt Shell Pit in Florida and is estimated to be 2.5 million years old.
6. Sandhill cranes mate for life and attract their partners via a courtship dance with moves like jumping into the air, bobbing their heads and stretching their wings to span up to 7 feet.
7. During migration, these cranes may travel more than 200 miles a day. They’re fast fliers, reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour.
8. Most of their diet (90 percent) is plant material, including waste grain, roots, berries, and nuts. Insects and snails are on the menu, too.
I found this one along Joe Ovestreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
Though only about 20 percent of Iguazu National Park is located on the Brazilian side of the border, this side offers some of the most dramatic views of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The torrent of water is staggering! Despite the heavy spray from the falls, I managed to get this 1 second exposure using the walkway railing to brace my camera and a neutral density filter to cut down on the light.
I don't know if I can call this a Lifer, but I never came across such a little fawn just laying five feet away off the path. Bucks County PA.

A tiny percent of rain —and lack of wind—drew me outside to photograph wild daisies of some sort. Borrowed my husband's Nikkor 200mm macro/prime lens and rested it on the trusty monopod. On my knees shot.
I know, based on my husband’s reaction, that this will appear too shallow for many. Don’t worry; I don’t expect you to comment ;-)
Primate DNA is only five percent different from ours. Like us, they feel jealousy, envy, love, shame, grief, depression... They are very social beings, they are sensitive and each one has a different personality, according to the experts, as happens in humans. They develop tools for specific purposes, which involves reasoning, anticipating the future and acting with the tool. They adopt orphans, which demonstrates social bonds, empathy and altruism. They have self-awareness, cooperative problem-solving and learning by example and experience, so they have symbolic capacity and a culture of their own, which they pass on from one generation to the next. Chimpanzees even surpass humans in certain memory tasks. An ape at the age of two is able to do small sums and use tools, while a two year old does not even know how to do sums or reason the why of the tool. They give pets to their children and they even learn words in sign language, being able to establish a conversation with their caregiver. They are able to teach their offspring sign language so that they can communicate with their caregivers. And so on. And they share a very important trait with humans, a trait not found in any other animal... laughter.
This image is dedicated to Bobby. Bobby was a chimpanzee used for decades as a laboratory animal at the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico. He was born in captivity and at a very young age participated in biomedical experiments. By the age of 19, he had been anaesthetised more than 250 times and biopsied as many times. His life was spent in solitude inside a tiny metal cage. His body was bruised and scarred. In a deeply depressed state, he was incessantly self-harming, a clear sign that he intended to end his life. In 2002 he was transferred to Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana, USA. Dedicated to Jeannie. Jeannie was in the service of science for nine years. At the age of six, she began her career in the pharmaceutical laboratories of Merck, Sharpe and Dohme. Shortly afterwards she was donated to the Buckshire Corporation and ended up at LEMSIP, Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates in New York at the age of 22. During that time she participated in several invasive experimental protocols including repeated vaginal douching, multiple cervical, liver and lymph node biopsies. She was infected with HIV and hepatitis C, and participated in rhinovirus vaccination protocols. She was anaesthetised more than 200 times. She died at the age of 31 at the Fauna Foundation, Canada's only primate sanctuary. Dedicated to Newt. Newt was born in 1979 at LEMSIP. At the age of four months he was sold to the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio, Texas. Newt was HIV-positive and was widely exposed to hepatitis B virus. Before he was four years old, he began intermittently self-harming. In 2003 he had his canines removed. Newt's clinical reports indicated that he had bites and lacerations on his hands, fingers, thighs, arms, legs, wrists and scrotum. A psychiatric report determined that Newt was in a profound state of insanity and derangement. He was attempting to commit suicide and end his life. This image is dedicated to all primates who have suffered psychological and physical torture, deprivation of liberty, abominable experiments and death in scientific laboratories, pharmaceutical, automobile, cosmetic, aeronautical, aerospace multinationals... and dedicated especially to Bobby, Jeannie and Newt.

Silvio Rodríguez - Al final de este viaje / Al final de este viaje (1978)
We are the prehistory that will have the future. We are the remote annals of man. These years are the past of the sky. These years are a certain agility with which the sun draws you into the future. They are the truth or the end, they are god. We are left, those who can smile in the midst of death, in full light.

Making sense of what I've heard and what is on my mind.
.....
PS: When I look into the eyes of an ape, all I see in them is sadness and eyes that ask me, why, why? And I can only lower my gaze to the ground, while I shed some tears and feel a deep shame... shame of being human... a "Homo stupidus".

BELLOW SEA LEVEL
26 percent of the country, which means "low lands" and is called "Nederland" in its own language, is one-fourth below sea level. The lowest point is minus seven meters. And again, only 50 percent of its territory is one meter or more above sea level. In other words, half of the Netherlands is sea-to-nose… 21 percent of its population of 17 million lives in regions below sea level. The highest point in the country is Vaalsberg, only 322 meters!
deniz seviyesinin altında
“Alçak topraklar” manasına gelen ve kendi dilinde “Nederland” olarak adlandırılan ülkenin yüzde 26’sı, yani dörtte biri deniz seviyesinin altında. En alçak noktası eksi yedi metrede. Ve yine topraklarının sadece yüzde 50’si deniz seviyesinden bir metre veya daha fazla yükseklikte. Yani Hollanda’nın yarısı denizle burun buruna… 17 milyonluk nüfusunun yüzde 21’i deniz seviyesinin altındaki bölgelerde yaşıyor. Ülkenin en yüksek noktası Vaalsberg ise sadece 322 metre!
Warwick Bar Conservation Area covers an area of 16.2 hectares (40 acres) where the Birmingham-to-London Grand Union Canal meets the Digbeth Branch Canal.[1] It was designated such status on 25 June 1987.[2] It covers the entire length of the Digbeth Branch Canal through the Eastside area and a section of the River Rea. To the south is the Digbeth, Deritend and Bordesley High Streets Conservation Area.[1]
The conservation area includes three of the statutorily listed buildings in Birmingham, each built by the canal company in the 1840s and 1850s, and a locally listed canal warehouse built in 1935. In total, there are five listed buildings and six locally listed buildings.[1] One locally listed building, the former Co-op furniture factory works (1899) on Belmont Row was destroyed by fire on 11 January 2007 in a suspected arson attack. Seventy-five percent of the building was damaged by a fire which caused the roof to collapse and which also destroyed seven arched windows.[3] On 18 January 2007, the façade of the building, which had survived the fire albeit smoke damaged, collapsed in on itself in high winds owing to the lack of support it received after the fire had been put out. This building had been due to be redeveloped as part of the Ventureast regeneration project
My Texture
This Cooper's Hawk and I looked at each other across my backyard while we pondered why the sparrows and finches were absent today :)
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.

I should have taken more care with this shot. As it was I pulled the car up on the very tight hair pin bend above Crowdecote and jumped out to grab a hand held shot or two before any traffic made a fuss of me blocking the road.
I didn't take any time to do this as I was heading cross country to grab a shot of some poppies which I thought 60/40 percent chance would have been ruined by the heavy rain and thunderstorms in the last few days. I reasoned there was a greater chance of seeing mist in the valleys again this year than of seeing poppies so I left Chrome and Parkhouse in the thinning mist and carried on east as quickly as possible.
And of course when I got there the poppies were soaked, dead and dying.

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae);
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. – Wikipedia

My mother in law gave me this square decorative, painted glass plate for a gift a few years ago. When I decided to use it for this week's theme, the image I liked the best was of the very tip of one corner, so it's about 5% of the actual plate.
When we were visiting my mother in law at the beginning of January, she suffered a massive heart attack. When her heart stopped numerous times, the doctors performed CPR, breaking her ribs in the process. After surgery, the doctors came out and told us that at nearly 91 years old, only 5% of people in her age group survive an event like that. So she was one of that very small percent.
Recently, we went back and have spent the past week looking after her. She is a tiny, strong, independent and very positive person. Every day we could see her getting her strength back more, recovering, and she was smiling through her pain. By the last day, she got up before we did, moved her walker out of the way, made her own breakfast, and when we got up, she told us about her plans for next summer's vacation. That woman inspires me!
I will try to catch up with all of you over the next couple of days:)

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae). The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (331 to 551 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 401 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species.

The sound show to top them all...
CSX "Local" freight M780 has three old GP38/40 series motors grinding in notch 8 up the two and a half percent grade up the Cumberland escarpment. With 39 loads of Lhoist mineral traffic from Anderson on the drawbars it wouldn't be a simple run back up the mountain. The 39 loads were determined to be weight enough to require the manned Cowan pusher to hop on the rear and shove them over the hill after riding down on the rear of Q647 an hour earlier. For quite a few minutes you could hear the roar of both turbo and non turbo EMD 645 engine blocks howling as they gave every ounce of power to lift the heavy train up one of the steepest grades on the CSX System. When they entered the high rock walls of Big Hormady Cut the noise was absolutely deafening. One of the all time best man vs nature soundshows.

Seventy percent of Point Pelee National Park in southwest Ontario is marsh that is dominated by cattails and ponds. Twenty-one percent of the park is forested areas. Ecologically it is important because the park contains more than 750 native plant species of which 8 species are considered to be rare, endangered or threatened in Canada.
