Anyone who likes to photograph birds of prey knows just how difficult they can be. Their excellent visual acuity means that they usually see us well before we see them. But that same ability frequently has them departing long before we can get close enough for a meaningful photo. In most places, the photographer has to be quite stealthy and remain well hidden. In Florida, however, I find that it simply means finding the birds that inhabit areas well visited by humans. Many of these birds have become tolerant enough to observe, and some even seem to like watching humans. At the very least, they probably enjoy the great variety of scavenger prey that follow human encroachment into their environment. Those little bits of food that fall off your plate attract a multitude of insects and small animals, making it easier for our banded red-shouldered hawk to pick up a bite to eat. #RedshoulderedHawk
We have been on the road for six days, (1600 miles) and I have only worn these shoes the entire time. I have never stuck with one pair of shoes for days in a row in my life. But they have had to share space with my camera. A little too cozy.

An Anhinga and turtle share space on a protrusion in the pond at Spring Lake Eco Park in Lorida, Florida.
So far, whenever I've visited the park there has been an Anhinga at this spot. It's the first time I've seen a turtle there.

Johanna Turner was selected as one of Disney Conservation Fund's 2019 "Conservation Heroes" for her work changing public perception of sharing space with large carnivores and contributed data for a study using camera traps to determine population density and habitat use of multiple species in Southern California. Johanna is thrilled to have served as a principal photographer for the Apple TV series Earth at Night in Color, featuring urban wildlife filmed with ultra low light senstive cameras. Work continues on a couple of National Geographic series. More information: www.cougarmagic.com and johanna turner photography.

Construction of a highway crossing vegetated bridge (US-101 Ventura Freeway) in the city of Agoura Hills in Los Angeles County to specifically protect mountain lions, wildlife-vehicle collision is finally set to begin in 2022 and is scheduled for completion in late 2024 or early 2025.
US-101 separates the Santa Monica Mountains to the south from the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains to the north. US-101 is a formidable and virtually impenetrable barrier for many wildlife species including mountain lions, bobcats, gray foxes, coyotes and mule deer that inhabit and travel between these two mountain ranges. In particular, mammals with large home ranges such as mountain lions and bobcats need large, connected habitats to hunt, breed and thrive. The construction of US-101 divided this previously continuous habitat range into isolated habitat fragments and resulted in severely restricted movement between two mountain ranges. For mountain lions in particular, the consequences of this restriction results in increased inbreeding, territorial fighting and very low genetic diversity within the Santa Monica Mountains. This bridge is a 5 minute drive from our house and I plan to take some photos of it when it's completed
after several tense minutes between Pearl and Dora, Dora decided to chill out and Pearl was finally able to settle onto the other cushion of the loveseat, and everyone went back to sleep.
Going back through some images from this summer and fall. It occurs to me that one of the most thrilling and fulfilling parts of wildlife photography is the concept of shared space. It’s possible to photograph some wildlife from the confines of a fenced area or a vehicle, but the most engaging photographs tend to put the photographer on the level with the subject. There are times when that is clearly not possible and one would like to do it in a way as to not impede an animal during its normal activities. This brown bear left her cubs to tend for themselves on the river’s edge while she attempted to fish. Unfortunately, tides were still too high, as she is actually standing on her hind legs. Salmon can escape a bear easily when the water is too deep. #BrownBears #BlondBear
This youngster was waiting for one of the parents
to bring him some food, and they did. They eat many things.
I've seen them eat, snakes, lizards, frogs, and now turtles.
It's always nice to share space with them while they go about their lives.
Stay safe everyone!
under the soft drizzle of an amsterdam day, two sit close yet worlds apart. the umbrella, a shield against the rain, seems to represent the quiet thoughts each keeps hidden. a scene of quiet connection, where even in shared space, individual worlds remain distinct.
In spite of the shortage of land on the .04 square kilometer island, room has been made for both indoor and outdoor basketball courts, arguably the national sport of the Philippines. Like in many small barangays or villages across the country, covered courts serve as basketball venues and community halls, hosting games, fiestas, and public events. Built in shared spaces, they’re a unifying force—central to daily life, pride, and identity.
Have you ever been on a subway, or any other shared space with strangers, and started to wonder what that person next to you is thinking? On the few occasions I've had the chance to do so, I noticed a handful are talking with friends but most rarely make eye contact with one another - they're absorbed in a newspaper, a smart phone, listening to music, or just staring without seeing. It's almost like riding an empty train.
Short ballet 'Dido's Lament - tribute to Nitro'
When: Friday 5 January 12 PM SLT
Where: @ Nitroglobus Roof Gallery

Milena Carbone, inspired to choreograph Henry Purcell's classic from his opera "Dido and Aeneas," found the perfect muse in her friend Dido Haas, who eagerly embraced the idea to honor Nitro in their once shared space, the Nitroglobus gallery.
This twenty-minute ballet is a montage of four interpretations of Purcell's work:
- Jessye Norman's original operatic rendition,
- A modern interpretation by Elisabeth Fessler on trumpet, with Cristian Ganicenco on trombone and loop station,
- Annie Lennox's classical duet with a choir, a poignant video creation during the COVID era,
- And Christina Pulhar's jazz-infused version.
Dancers Dido Haas and Lalitha Carbone will bring these musical narratives to life against a backdrop of four videos, creating an immersive experience within a darkened cube.
The excellent poster by Milena features dancer Lalitha Carbone.
My mint is literally swarming with flies, bees and many other insects.

A bear track in the snow along Montana Highway 49 just above Lower Two Medicine Lake. Going to the Sun Road was closed originally due to the Sprague Fire, then due to the first snow of the season. So we had to drive around the park to get to the west side. Along the highest point of Hwy 49 we stopped to take a few photos and right next to our car was this large bear track. It looked very fresh and we must have just missed a passing bear.
Today was my first fast of Ramadhan, I was awake all night yesterday ,. as Ramzan is a moment with its own uniqueness..I had spoken to Raju Langewal the Pandal committee member, that I wanted to shoot the Raja , he told me to come by 12 pm...today.
So barefeet I hopped into a cab and reached the pandal at Lalbagh , I was carrying my Bandra Samachar Press Card too..
I shot the Raja extensively , my efforts to shoot on the stage were unfulfilled..but I will some day.
Lalbagh Cha Raja for the Hindus and Ramzan for the Muslims as a Mumbaikar are two heartbeats of a single heart.
The Raja touches everyone, there were Sikhs , Parsis Gujratis all standing for hours in the queues , some had stood all night, some had walked from the suburbs barefeet..but the most enduring were the kids with excitement and smiles on their faces and senior citizens too..
And it had rained generously , but the rains did not dampen the spirits of the lovers of Lalbagh Cha Raja..He is the Ultimate , he is Lord who removes Obstacles , He removes Ignorance , he is the Lord of Sweet Success and Poetic Prosperity.
I have just broken my fast as I write this ..I came home not before shooting Ganesh Gully ka Raja and the Tejukaya Ganesha, also sharing space with Lalbagh Cha Raja within walking distance from each other.
On my way towards Dadar TT..I saw the Dharavi ka Raja patronized by the Tamil migrants of Mumbai, going on a bullock cart , he had already gone a long distant , I jumped out of my cab and ran after him, I shot pictures of him..
So this is my tribute as a blogger to those who cant make it to the Pandal for some reason or the other , they can have a darshan through my pictures shot with a passion and devotion bound to humility.
I also remember my photo guru Prof BW Jatkar who passed away recently ..I hope Lalbagh Cha Raja grants his soul eternal peace ..the Professor was a devotee of the Raja.
This is a part of my series on Hope and Hindutva a message of Peace.

George was curious. The door leads into a building in the wallaby habitat. The kangaroos are sharing space with the wallabies while construction is underway next door to the roo habitat.

Two Nottingham NET (Nottingham Express Transit) trams passing each other in Market Square. The nearest one is named after the Nottinghamshire and England cricketer Stuart Broad MBE. Having ridden this tramway network I must say I'm highly impressed with it.
Shared Space - Ashford Kent.
Pedestrians crossing a section of the ring road in Ashford, Kent are encouraged to step out in front of cars as all road users – whether on foot, on a bike or in a car – share equal priority.
The scheme is designed to improve road safety by spreading uncertainty. Similar "shared space" schemes in the Netherlands have suggested that motorists take more care when they are forced to engage with potential hazards, rather than simply following signs.

This is a rare plant which thrives in certain parts of the New Forest , sharing space with our native wild daffodils abd specific to scrub found within deciduous woodland.
Those hairy buds will eventually bloom into pink and purple flowers. The name probably came about from the leaves being used in old herblore as a cure for respiratory ailments including TB.
Colorful Sorrell-Larkin Special SR-200 at Laguna Seca Raceway,
being lovingly restored and raced by the currant owner.
This SR-200 body was based on an earlier Sorrell design, the SR-100, that debuted at the 1953 Petersen Motorama to rave reviews. The Sorrell-Larkin Special SR-200 never quite lived up to its competition goals, but the crisp lines of its sleek fiberglass body and patriotic colors are visually striking.
It actually started life as an imposing Lister-Chevrolet, which changed hands a few times before it suffered a spectacular crash at the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix at Riverside in 1960, flipping end over end and catching on fire.
After the race, Bob Sorrell, a talented artist who worked in aluminum and fiberglass, acquired the wreck and took it back to his shop, where he and Jim Larkin shared space. Sorrell figured he could turn the pile of scrap into a competitive car by making some enhancements to the frame, brakes and power. Plus adding a new fiberglass body that the two men had developed a couple years earlier.
Ironically, the revamped car crashed again at Riverside in 1962, near where the Lister had back in 1960. It caught fire, which spread to the magnesium wheels as well, and the blaze couldn’t be extinguished. Track workers had to use a skip loader to cover the inferno with dirt in order to extinguish the flames.
Photos show the Sorrell being recovered from its grave and sadly sitting on a car trailer
It took almost 10 years for the Larkin brothers to complete a fresh recreation, but due to their advancing age and declining health, they never went racing in the SR-200. So they sold it to Wes Abendroth, a vintage racer and restorer of sports car specials. With an eye toward posterity, he set to work putting it back to its original competition trim and livery.
The engine is a 355 ci Chevy (CR 10.5:1), delivering 360 horses, or slightly more than 1 hp per cubic inch, which was a lofty goal first reached back in 1956. Power runs through a close-ratio four-speed transmission and then to a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end with a 3.89 ratio and four-link setup with a Panhard bar. At the front are coil springs with dual arms and special adjusters. Brakes are discs, both front and rear. Total weight is 2,200 pounds.
Even though it has a race car look, the Sorrell-Larkin is street legal and even has a cassette player in the dash. Otherwise, the trim is full-on race car, and what a patriotic race car at that.
In this b/w picture, the essence of daily travel is distilled into the quiet introspection of passengers aboard a public vehicle. The interplay of light transforms ordinary scenes into a tableau of silhouetted figures and ghostly reflections, evoking the silent stories that unfold in the shared spaces of our journeys.

outside mercado barceló, the queue for a concert stretches down the street. when the rain begins to fall, the line softens â dissolving into quiet islands of friends like this one. cardboard, umbrellas, shared playlists and calm anticipation. they've made a home out of waiting.
Side by side in Bloomington with the old Chicago & Alton building behind them, the 6023, a SD40A, and the 8043, a Paducah rebuild, share space where Alton Route and GM&O beauties once lived.
Hiking alongside the dyke surrounding the "Elysian Fields" (community pasture) in Minudie, I came across these two wild strawberry plants, one with leaves that have turned bright crimson with the coming of colder weather. Here they share space with sprigs of sphagnum moss. This late in October cold nights have greatly cut down on mosquito activity making a walk in this marshy area far more enjoyable than it would have been a month earlier.

Looks a lot like when I moved in. Makes me sad on lots of levels. ETS has been my home for five years and I honestly think the world of all the people there. I will miss sharing space with them every day.

Last weekend, there were hundreds of monarchs on the fen farm's prairies as migration peaked. Today, there were none. There were plenty of these pretty painted ladies sharing space with honey bees on the blooming goldenrods though.
For me there is nothing better, on a dreary morning, than the recollection of a beautiful day spent in nature. It’s hard to beat the exhilaration of sharing space with bears in their own element. In a place where they have survived for millennia, we are only visitors, relegated to carving out small areas and brief seasons in which to live. Man, the most invasive species, has yet to this conquer this domain, and hopefully they never will. #BrownBears
I felt fortunate to catch the two bees sharing space together. Nature shows us that there are times of harmony.
I had this wonderful encounter while out walking on Monday, and then again today. She has two younguns, but they are slightly more skittish when we are sharing space. I love their winter markings.
Back on the mainland, a view from the small hike to Lake Achard in the Alps in Chamrousse. I found this interesting photo thanks to the clouds that there was that day that allowed some small natural contrasts, one can see on the photo of shadows areas that share space with clearer areas, one could almost talk about natural dodge and burn: D
