......to contemplate roses is to punctuate one’s days with poetry.” -Anne-Sophie Rondeau, The Grand Rose Family
The name Lumad grew out of the political awakening among various tribes during the martial law regime of President Ferdinand Marcos. It was advocated and propagated by the members and affiliates of Lumad-Mindanao, a coalition of all-Lumad local and regional organizations which formalized themselves as such in June 1986 but started in 1983 as a multi-sectoral organization. Lumad-Mindanao’s main objective was to achieve self-determination for their member-tribes, or, put more concretely, self-governance within their ancestral domain in accordance with their culture and customary laws. No other Lumad organization had had the express goal in the past.
Representative from fifteen tribes agreed in June 1986 to adopt the name; there were no delegates from the Three major groups of the T'boli, the Teduray and the Subanen. The choice of a Cebuano word was a bit ironic but they deemed it to be most appropriate considering that the various Lumad tribes do not have any other common language except Cebuano. This is the first time that these tribes have agreed to a common name for themselves, distinct from that of the Moros and different from the migrant majority and their descendants.
There are 18 Lumad ethnolinguistic groups namely, Ata, Bagobo, Banwaon, B’laan, Bukidnon, Dibabawon, Higaonon, Mamanwa, Mandaya, Manguwangan, Manobo, Mansaka, Subanon, Tagakaolo, Tasaday, Tboli, Teduray, and Ubo.
According to the Lumad Development Center Inc., there are about eighteen Lumad groups in 19 provinces across the country. They comprise 12 to 13 million or 18% of the Philippine population and can be divided into 110 ethno-linguistic groups. Considered as "vulnerable groups", they live in hinterlands, forests, lowlands and coastal areas
Katawhan Lumad are the un-Islamized and un-Christianized Austronesian peoples of Mindanao, namely Erumanen ne Menuvu`, Matidsalug Manobo, Agusanon Manobo, Dulangan Manobo, Dabaw Manobo,Ata Manobo, B'laan, Kaulo, Banwaon, Teduray, Lambangian, Subanen, Higaunon, Dibabawon, Mangguwangan, Mansaka, Mandaya, K'lagan, T'boli, Mamanuwa, Talaandig, Tagabawa, and Ubu`, Tinenanen, Kuwemanen, K'lata and Diyangan. There are about twenty general hilltribes of Mindanao, all of which are Austronesian.
The term Lumad excludes the Butuanons and Surigaonons--even the said two ethnic groups are native to Mindanao and the word tells it so--because those two are Visayans and Lumad are not ethnically related to them, which creates a contradiction because the word lumad literally means "native" in Visayan.

Northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) are songbirds with crests on their heads and orange-red, cone-shaped bills. Males are a brilliant red color except for a black mask on their face. Females are shades of light brown, with reddish highlights and dark coloration around their eyes and beak. Cardinals get their bright colors from the pigments found in berries and other plant materials in their diet. Cardinals are medium-sized birds, with the male being slightly larger than the female. Cardinals are year-round residents within their range. During mating season males are fiercely territorial, driving off competing males in their territory. Cardinals are considered monogamous, mating with the same partner each breeding season. Pairs of male and female cardinals remain with each other year-round. Pairs usually do not stray very far from each other. The cardinal is a very popular bird and has been named the state bird of 7 states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Pretty soon the Red Yucca will make little round, green seed pods and still keep blossoming. It's a favorite to see on the Oso Creek Trail.
Red Squirrels at the British Wildlife Centre, First visit and even though we live in Scotland it wont be the last.
The Red Panda or Lesser Panda, Ailurus fulgens ("shining cat"), is a mostly herbivorous mammal, specialised as a bamboo feeder. It is slightly larger than a domestic cat (40-60 cm long, 3-6 kg weight).
The Red Panda is endemic to the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos, Nepal, and Burma. Red Panda is the state animal in the Indian state of Sikkim. It is also the mascot of the Darjeeling international festivals.
There is an estimated population of less than 2,500 mature individuals. Their population continues to decline due to habitat fragmentation. Info from Wikipedia.
Seen at the Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire.
A large, long-tailed gamebird. Males have rich chestnut, golden-brown and black markings on body and tail, with a dark green head and red face wattling. Females are mottled with paler brown and black. They were introduced to the UK long ago and more recent introductions have brought in a variety of races and breeds for sport shooting.

Found this little guy perched over a tiny pool of brackish water that was only about 3x3 feet but contained a hoard of little gnats. The pool was situated 10 yards away from the ocean and was surrounded by marsh grass and Pickleweed. He posed nicely for numerous shots. This image was one of my favourite from the opportunity as I liked both the pose and also the bokeh.

Adorable little red panda climbing around in her tree. Probably the most adorable animal on earth, what a shame that they are endangered.
Feel free to add some tags if you thing that I missed something!
I hope you enjoy, I always love visiting her whenever I get the chance.
I shot this from the Lee Higway over pass - over 66. ( Rt 66 and Exit 69) . I really love it , even tho it is not technically prefect.. I really tried to use the train tracts to create some interest between the empy tracks and a highway full of bikes for miles and miles.The pop of reds did not realy hurt either :)
