The only endemic to the small island of Barbuda, off the larger neighbouring island Antigua. A brightly coloured inhabitant of thickets and scrub near water. The combination of blue-grey upperparts, extensively yellow underparts, white wingbars, and distinctive facial pattern are unique within its range. The song is variable, but most often is a burbling series of sweet notes given in three parts, with the middle part higher pitched. The call is a single loud sweet chip.
Vulnerable.

Are you
Someone that I can give my heart to?
Or just the poison that I'm drawn to?
It can be hard to tell the difference late at night
Play fair
Is that a compass in your nature?
Or are you tricky 'cause I've been there?
And baby, I don't need to learn that lesson twice
But if you really wanna go there
You should know I
Need someone to hold me close
Deeper than I've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo
Knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable
He's straight talking to my soul
Conversation overload
Got me feeling vertigo
Are you somebody who can go there?
'Cause I don't wanna have to show ya
If that ain't you, then let me know, yeah
'Cause training season's over
I try to see my lovers in a good light
Don't wanna do it just to be nice
Don't wanna have to teach you how to love me right
I hope it hits me like an arrow
Someone with some potential
Is it too much to ask for, who understands?
Can you compete?
Now is your time
Run when you hear that whistle blow
Are you on my team
Or stuck on the sidelines
Waiting for someone to tell you to go?
For someone to tell you to go
You should know I

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the family Felidae. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur, and have been known to hunt humans, although the species typically does not.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern.
The lion is a generalist hypercarnivore and is both an apex and keystone predator due to its wide prey spectrum. Its prey consists mainly of mammals – particularly ungulates.
Lions also hunt common warthog depending on availability, although the species is below the preferred weight range. Domestic livestock may contribute significantly to their diet. They usually avoid fully grown adult elephants, rhinoceroses and hippopotamus, as well as small prey like dik-dik, hyrax, hare and monkey. Unusual prey items include porcupines and small reptiles. Lions kill other predators such as leopard, cheetah and spotted hyena but seldom consume them. – Wikipedia

This beautiful creature is listed as "Vulnerable" by ICUN. You can still see them in the Masai Mara and other areas in Kenya, but overall, the numbers of Cheetah are declining in Africa.
Two realms apart but so interwoven.
A realm of reality and turbulance.
Another of dreams and pleasure.
One incapable of avoiding.
Another impossible to avoid.
One needed to fake for existence.
Only to fund the existence one wishes.
The one commonality, heart breaking....
Neither will allow true vulnerability.
Bowing down and gazing up.
Hoping for a strong palm to guide your gaze upward is a third realm never to be known.

American Robin chicks and eggs, (one egg is under the resting chick) on day one after hatching.
Well, I know I'm not telling this story in order, as I haven't sorted or posted the older Robin chicks from the first batch being raised in our holly bush, but I couldn't resist posting the start of batch number two...
I hadn't found the time to trim my now overgrown holly, when our family noticed the robins breeding again on our front lawn. Wondering if she would use the same nest, I postponed the trim. So glad I did! Two days later, and another stint at breeding, the female was back on the nest for two weeks of brooding.
As the last week the weather was beautifully warm, I had some hopes of taking a peek earlier in the chick's life, especially as the robins are now more settled and used to our coming and goings. Imagine my dismay when the weather tanked and we received some much needed rain right when the chicks hatched. In spite of that, with some careful watching, and during a break in the squalls, I managed to scurry up the step ladder to take a burst of shots.
Lighting was dim with the clouds and thicker shrub, wrong settings, not to mention a bad case of the shakes at feeling like a thief and not wanting to be caught taking a peek, left this image less than perfect. Slightly blurred at 1/30 second... barely good enough to work with and share with you. Wish I had managed better, but another opportunity never presented itself. As the chick's welfare comes first, when all is said and done, that's OK with me...
To view the whole story; an amalgamation of my photographs and videos taken of both broods and organized in a daily progression from eggs to Day 13, please see my YouTube video at the following link. The video is a little over three minutes long. youtu.be/6oRtUmY3dFY

Creature
Song by Jelly Roll
Lyrics
There's a monster under my bed
And at my window there's a dragon
I accepted the challenge
It turned me into a savage
I broke a promise to myself again
I don't know why I am so vulnerable
They try to help but I won't let them in
I guess rock bottom's where I'm comfortable
Both my feet planted when most people would've panicked
I embraced the storm, I found beauty in what was damaged
I'm not afraid of the boogieman
Instead, I look at him like he's a friend
There's not a monster out there in the world
That's scarier than the one that's within
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumblin' 'round
The demons screamin' in the distance
Creates such a humblin' sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
Not a sadist, no
But I'm hated so
While religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast
And that I've made it grow
When I spray this flow
I created more
Creatures unlike when I heated the mic
I'm a breed of the night but I'm tainted though
By the darkness, I'm binded
I sparked it and shined it
They find it 'cause mine is whoa
For that, they labeled me a demon seed
Want to disable N9na, see him bleed
Hinder me fatally and see them greed, no-oh (chea)
You would not believe the creature inside me
If you deceive Khalifahs are lively
We disagree when people defy me
Or tryna take his
Whatever the fuckery taught him, you don't wanna break this
You forsake his
What is sacred?
Then it's over, no matter what your faith is
I'm a creature
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumblin' 'round
The demons screamin' in the distance
Creates such a humblin' sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
Yeah, I managed to get myself in trouble, all of this pain
Yeah, I'm down and the double-dosin', liquor's always to blame
If I could keep myself sober, I'd keep my hands to myself
I take a shot and it's over, that's how I end up in Hell (I do)
I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring (yeah)
They get everything from their daddy, feel like I'm addicted to all things (yeah)
Yeah, there's no reason to change, gone too far now
And I'm stuck in my ways, back at the bar now
They said I'm a flirt and they right (yeah), I ain't perfect, aight? (Yeah)
So when I'm thirsty and perkin' and purposely searchin' for somethin'
It's hurtin' me so
I just get back up and go, I just back out of a show
That's how it go, I knock the back out a ho
And next night act I don't know (Okay)
I think they be laughin' at me, hands be grabbin' at me
Feel like God let it happen to me
That'd be blasphemy
And at least it be happenin' naturally (Okay, yeah)
I think I better let it go (Yeah)
Either that or I gotta let her know
And I can't do that
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumblin' 'round
The demons screamin' in the distance
Creates such a humblin' sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down
Niagara was constructed from 1812 to 1813 to protect the vulnerable American coastline on Lake Erie from the British and played a pivotal role in the battle for the lake. Along with most warships that served in the war, Niagara was sunk for preservation on Presque Isle in 1820. Raised in 1913, it was rebuilt for the centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie. After deteriorating, the restoration of Niagara was started again in the 1930s, but was hampered by the lack of funds caused by the Great Depression and remained uncompleted until 1963. A more extensive restoration was carried out in 1988 in which much of the original ship was largely destroyed. The incorporation of new materials and modern equipment makes it ambiguous as to whether it is or is not a replica. (Wikipedia)
The Niagara is the third reconstruction of the original. This two-masted square-rigged sailing vessel was launched in 1988 for the 175th anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie. (Erie Maritime Museum)

A ANTA é o maior mamífero terrestre do Brasil, está listada como VULNERÁVEL.
Esse é meu único registro que tenho desse lindo animal, que dá nome a esse local
A Anta estava em fuga, perseguida por cachorros...
The tapir was on the run, chased by dogs...
She managed to escape, but her cub did not.
Sadly, small animals and birds have suffered from persecution by dogs that are abandoned in the environmental park.
These dogs are natural hunters and are becoming a serious problem in the Brasília Mineral Water National Park.
