It was the annual Steam Rally at the Lincolnshire Showground, and I was helping to man the Lincolnshire Mills Group marquee. The sun shone fitfully through storm clouds, and the pleasant smell of the many exhibits was in the air. Suddenly there was a loud roar, I dashed out of the tent, and just in time saw the Red Arrows doing a fly past over the Showground.
The red panda is a cousin of the raccoon, while the more famous giant panda is more closely related to bears. These engaging animals make their home in mountain forests and bamboo thickets, where they live in small groups or alone. They are active mainly at night and spend their days sleeping in trees, out of the reach of most predators. Red pandas are primarily vegetarians, with bamboo shoots a favorite food, but they also eat small animals.
The number of wild red pandas is declining as their bamboo forests are cleared for human development.

This May will be two years of my having my Nikon D90 and for all the times I've been visiting the St. Louis Zoo with my camera, I've never seen the Red Panda. Finally, on Monday I was up at the Zoo early in the morning and this beautiful girl was out. I spent quite a long time shooting photos here. At this point she had actually noticed me there and almost posed for the photo. This was a great day for shooting at the Zoo, I'll be sharing more from this day for sure.
Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
Enjoy!
This is a rare exception when I photograph a captive animal. My neighbor is a Falconer. He trapped this red tailed hawk when it was a yearling. The two hunt together almost daily during hunting season. The feathers are quite beautiful. I am amazed that the animal doesn't fly off. Marshal says he will let it go next year. Explored at 305 on Monday, Feb 23.
The Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae found in most of North and much of Central America.The Red-winged Blackbird is sexually dimorphic; the male is all black with a red shoulder and yellow wing bar, while the female is a nondescript dark brown. Seeds and insects make up the bulk of the Red-winged Blackbird's diet.
My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June :
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I :
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun :
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while !
And I will come again, my love,
Thou’ it were ten thousand mile.

There are about 18 nearly identical photos here on flickr. Still, a kyoto photo shoot is not complete without your own.
Last shot from the Japanese Garden on one of the last sunny days before our next fun rainy season...tons of opportunities to shoot with rain in the mix...I want to try to catch some shots like Chris Pokorny does. He is a brilliant artist out of Portland. Check out his work when you get a chance...rain is his friend and wow he does a great job with it! Tried again to capture a good shot of the "other tree" at the Japanese Garden again. We will see what the public has to say. Thanks for looking!!!
Not like the Taylor Swift song. Today my office is doing a donation for the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women campaign. To show our support (along with our donation), we're all wearing red to work today. Seeing as red is one of my least favorite colors to wear... my options were limited. But you can always rely on plaid! Each year, thousands of women die every year from cardiac events - but we can change that because 80% can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. Sounds good to me! So pass it on to the women in your life - take care of yourself!
