Yesterday, on my walk, I came across this lamb in need of rescue. I managed to lift it gently back into the field and its waiting mum!
After being rescued by BNSF 3913 down south, a VERY late Amtrak "Texas Eagle" passes an old firetruck in Higginson AR as it attempts to make up time.
Since cutting ropes can be expensive, not to mention dangerous, for most pick-off training we set up a system to take the load off of the "victim's" ropes in a controlled manner and untie him after attaching him to our ropes.
Knives and ropes don't mix well.
I'm tying a french prussik knot to set up a pulley above him.
Rescued as six week old kitten. Now age 12. Sweet natured but will defend self. Does not like to be held but likes to sit in lap. Devoted to "sister" cat Susie.
This baby woodpigeon I think was taken from the nest and couldn't yet feed him/ her self, it also had several holes in it's head, but luckily it is now making a full recoverery.
Hopefully it will start feeding it self soon : )
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and your comments are very much appreciated, take care,stay safe and have a lovely evening :))
Some photogs and I went to visit a birds of prey rescue facility. We learned a lot about these lovely birds. Even though they were tethered, it was still a challenge to get a good shot. One of the better ones I took. Thanks for your appreciation, Gail

I could make up a story about Elsie and say she does not take kindly to being asked to vacate the computer keyboard.
The truth is I caught her in mid-yawn as she was waking up from napping on my nice warm computer while I was at the gym.
Elsie somehow managed to put the machine into the shut-down-and-restart mode while I was away, so I am glad I saved my files before dashing out the door.
The funny thing is that this expression is not too different from Elsie's hiss, which is a wonder to behold.
A rescue drone designed to save lives, one of a family under development by an ESA-based start-up in the Netherlands.
Inspired by the refugee crisis, the Avy company has been working on robust, long-duration drones capable of detecting people in distress and, if necessary, dropping life jackets, life buoys, food and medicine.
The company was selected from more than a thousand entries as a finalist in the international Drones for Good competition in Dubai.
The company is currently based at ESA’s Business Incubation Centre in Noordwijk, receiving technical and business advice.

I was channel hopping last night when I came across ‘the rescue’ which if you haven’t seen is a documentary on the rescue of the 12 boys and their football coach from 2km inside a submerged cave in Thailand. It’s a documentary that showcases the power of humanity and what can be achieved when we all work together for a common goal. People from different cultures, beliefs and backgrounds all striving to reunited the lost boys with their families. What resonated with me the most though was the people most instrumental in the rescue where a bunch of civilian hobbyists who cave dive for fun. Though their passion and dedication they had amassed a skill set that very few people on the planet share. What was most striking was how one member of this elite group put it, "last to be picked for the cricket team but first to be picked for the cave dive rescue team". Now I am not for one minute suggesting that landscape photography shares any of the dangers associated with cave diving (unless that is you are a cave diving photographer - but I am guessing that is even more niche) but what it does share is that sense of adventure and excitement of discovering something new and the enjoyment found both on an individual level but also collectively among peers. It struck me that I had a very similar personality type to the cave divers, introverted with a slight awkwardness but with a quiet confidence in my ability to learn and grow from my passion. I wonder if anyone else finds this with the hobbies whether it be cave diving, photography or fire breathing?

Rescue
She stood among iron and stone, the sea’s salt still clinging to her breath, cradling the seal like a fragile ember of life. In Greenland, ice and ocean cradle countless creatures, yet warming waters and thinning floes betray them. The seal’s eyes mirrored both innocence and vanishing futures. To rescue one is to resist silence, to hold against collapse a world unraveling. Each heartbeat in her arms was a promise: that though glaciers recede and hunters of profit press close, tenderness remains a weapon. For as long as hands reach to lift the fallen, hope survives beside the threatened wild.

Rare event comes to a close! I was relieved to learn that the little RT hawk I observed yesterday morning (June 8, 2024) was found on the ground later in the day (still loudly vocalizing) and was soon rescued by our local wildlife rescue organization. This little hawk had survived three weeks in a bald eagle nest after being brought there as “prey” and ending up being raised and fed by the eagles. After observing his/her weakened condition yesterday and several attempts at eating blocked by the aggressive, larger eaglets, I knew that this outcome would be the only chance this young hawk would have for survival…fingers crossed! This is the last photograph I took that morning before this little survivor was forced out of the nest, fell to the ground, and was rescued.
This is another daughter's rescue dog, Bertha. Bertha was miffed that I didn't post her photo when I posted Opal's :) Bertha is part pit bull and part something else?? She has the body and big head of a pit bull and little short stubby legs which makes her look a bit funny. I have always been leery of pit bulls and though Bertha could knock me over, she seems very gentle.
I said that we carried on to the coast yesterday after a grey and drizzly drive in the Forest. It was equally grey and miserable with the added joy of a cold wind blowing, so we didn't stay long. Long enough to see the coastguard doing their air sea rescue training. I've seen them doing this before where they actually go into a small inflatable and get rescued from there. I think the sea was way too rough for that yesterday. So they 'just' had to put the guy on the winch down on the main boat. See photo in comments for that one
That's the Isle of Wight in the background.

A diesel-hauled Amtrak passenger train is not often seen on this section of the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak Keystone service train 649 apparently developed mechanical issues with motor 605 just east of Linden station earlier in the afternoon. After numerous attempts to resolve the issue, passengers were transferred to at least two other passing trains before a KN-701 crew arrived from Adams Yard with a rescue diesel. Once tied onto the lead cab car, Amtrak GP38H-3 525 (a former GO Transit GP40TC) led the train to Philadelphia. I'm not sure if any passengers remained on board, but it still made for an interesting sight passing through Edison over an hour and a half behind schedule.
