Labradors make excellent receivers. Pearl set the baseline. Gone now for five years, I’m so glad I snapped this memento while she was in her prime.
Loved by many, my dearest loyal friend, walking companion and photo model has passed away. I miss him so much already; he will stay forever in my heart

This is yet another portrait from a session that I always intended to revisit. A spontaneous moment in a frozen, windswept cornfield with Katie. And one of the takeaway images was a quick grab shot with an iPhone camera. Absolutely no urgency or sense of time. Just a quick capture as she looked back at me. My mindset then was "we'll come right back here in day or a week and do it all over again". Surely more and even better photos would result. And I would look back at this as a mere practice run. But a week later the corn was harvested. And shortly thereafter it snowed. And the session just got pushed back until it was eventually forgotten. Now each passing day tugs me a bit further away from the moment I pressed the shutter on this photo. It's like getting dragged inexorably out to sea by a rip tide. I saw Katie the other day and her hair was styled in a multi-color mohawk. I just smiled as I realized the proverbial shoreline had finally slipped from view. Not that she didn't look stunning in a mohawk, it just would not have fit into the moment I had tried to create here. We'll do another session some day, of that I'm sure. But this moment in the barren cornfield is now firmly part of the past, and there is simply no going back.

Here is Amtrak 121 running through on a Monday in January of 2024. Had to take the opportunity before the roads got to bad to get a Metroliner in the snow and it was quite a sight to watch 11 cars make a big snow cloud and with only 1 ACS-64!
M90 ucciso in Trentino .
Le stelle sopra di me e la legge morale dentro di me. (Kant)
Non avete il diritto di distruggere la Terra e i suoi abitanti. Siete uomini piccoli piccoli, non siete Dio. Le future generazioni vi chiederanno conto dello scempio.
M90 killed in Trentino.
The stars above me and the moral law within me. (Kant)
You have no right to destroy the Earth and its inhabitants. You are little men, you are not God. Future generations will ask you to account for the massacre.

African leopards (Panthera pardus pardus) are one of the two big cats, along with the lion and included in the big five of Africa, that inhabit the continent of Africa.
Queen Lorian, a very famous and senior female leopard, was found dead yesterday morning, mauled to death by either Lions or another Leopard. She has left behind a 14 month old son, Roho who shall to fend for himself in the wild.
This was my latest sighting of her during a photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

One of many mages taken on a camping trip in Surat Thani last year during a heavy storm and one that sadly can no longer be repeated after this area of jungle was recently cleared. The muted tones reflect my current mood and probably better suit the image anyway. I'm slowly putting together a 'mood' wall and this one will go off to the printer tomorrow and hopefully become part of it. That's if I don't cheer up by then which would be rather annoying..
Thank you for passing through :)

Ukrainian Air Force pilot Colonel Oleksandr Oksanchenko, “Grey Wolf”.
Departing Fairford
Sadly was killed after his jet was shot down near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
He has died a hero, and I am sure every one would like to remember him for his superb displays.
RIP Oleksandra.
