Another picture from a beautiful morning in mid-April.

is where one is taken while gazing into the eyes of an animal such as this.

 

This is mama to the 3 littles you have seen so much of here since my last trip in Sept.

 

When I see her, I wonder if she was brought here to the camp area to fish with her mom when she was little? Chances are very good that she was. Does she maybe remember me?, my scent? Does she realize that I'm of no threat?

 

I guess I would like to think so but that may be way beyond the realm of reality. But it's a nice thought anyway.

 

View large and get a deep look into her eyes. See how it makes you feel.

 

This was cropped a tiny bit. There was a bit of unnecessary

space to the right of the sow. So I just took some off.

 

She is an extraordinarily beautiful animal.

She and her two cubs were resting in a shaded area behind this dead tree. Before she allowed the cubs to come out, she wanted to make sure it was safe to do so.

 

BTW, I was on the opposite side of the creek so I was not in any danger,,,,,

Common Sow Thistle to be exact !

Van Gogh said: " I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields."

 

The sower in particular was a figure that Van Gogh saw in terms of representing the eternal cycle of agricultural life, of honorable endeavor and tradition, and symbolized these qualities to the artist. The sun was also a symbolic element for Van Gogh, and in many of these paintings, it shines with an unearthly luminescence.

 

Van Gogh a dit: Je travaille mes toiles avec autant de diligence que les ouvriers dans leurs champs.

 

Le semeur en particulier était une figure que Van Gogh considérait comme représentant le cycle éternel de la vie agricole, des efforts honorables et de la tradition, et symbolisait ces qualités pour l'artiste. Le soleil était également un élément symbolique pour Van Gogh, et dans nombre de ces peintures, il brille d'une luminescence surnaturelle.

Rain on the left,sunshine on the right . Catching a rainbow and planting it was quite tricky:-)

Waiting for Spring......

Another archived shot taken while fishing in the Gulf of Alaska on 24 July, 2024.

 

In this shot, taken from a speeding boat as we changed locations, captures a female sea otter embracing her pup with one paw around its neck and another on the top of its head for the wake to come.

 

Our skipper did an amazing job respecting the seals, otters and sea birds that created a true obstacle course between our port in Homer and our multiple fishing destinations.

 

My sons and I were truly blessed by God with every aspect of that day!

 

This juvenile savannah sparrow did a little foraging of its own between feedings from a nearby parent. It found itself a juicy woodlouse, otherwise known as a sow bug. In Newfoundland, are sometimes referred to as boat-builders. However, they are not a bug and not even an insect. And, they certainly don't build boats. They are a type of isopod. They fall under the crustacean umbrella, and are more closely related to shrimp than black beetles.

This grizzly sow paused to give me eye contact as she climbed over the fallen trees. Another special moment!

Vergangenen Herbst hatte ich in meinem Fotostream bereits Bilder vom Keiler und vom Frischling gezeigt. Heute wird die Wildschwein Familie mit einem Foto einer Bache vervollständigt. Sie ist nicht so massiv wie der Eber, und sie schaut auch nicht so schlecht gelaunt. Dennoch sollte man auch ihr wohl nicht zu dicht auf die Borsten rücken. Ein Wildschwein ist kein Streicheltier.

Last autumn, I already posted pictures of the boar and the piglet in my photo stream. Today, the wild boar family is completed with a photo of a sow. She is not as massive as the boar, and she doesn't look as grumpy either. Nevertheless, it's probably best not to get too close to her. A wild boar is not a pet.

More photographs of these wild beasts can be found in my boar album

Walking across a gravel beach, a sow polar bear walks away from the photographer. Not sure where she was off to but it was a great way to end a day.

McNeil River, Alaska

This beautiful Grizzly Bear was working her way through a meadow eating dandelions. She had a cub with her and it was raining which didn't seem to bother them at all.

Banff, Albera, Canada

I had just finished photographing birds in the backyard, and went inside to download my photos, when my wife yelled for me to get the camera because there was a black bear raiding the bird feeders.

The bear emptied them both, and after I got a few pictures, I got a long stick and chased her out of the area.

 

That was my excitement for the day!

The Laurentian Sow, 1st-2nd century CE

Shugborough Estate was owned by the Bishops of Lichfield until the dissolution of the monasteries, upon which it passed through several hands before being purchased in 1624 by William Anson, a local lawyer and ancestor of the Earls of Lichfield.

TOSCANA-ITALY (Tempo di semina)

The light was terrible as it was pouring rain, and this Grizzly Bear (Sow) was gorging herself on dandelions.

Banff National Park, Banff, Alberta, Canada

The River Sow is a tributary of the River Trent in Staffordshire. Between 1816 and the 1920s, the section between Stafford and Baswich was navigable, and was known as the River Sow Navigation.

The river flows past Shugborough Hall.
