They are so defenseless and vulnerable when they're this young and yet, there it was, out and about, even though making uncoordinated short flights, already learning all about the big scary world :) Happy Earth Day
The yellow on the wing tells me it's a Goldfinch but I could be wrong so help confirming or correcting the ID
Thank you very much Shaun for confirming the ID of the bird

"Libera la vulnerabilità,
essa, risiede in ognuno di noi,
ciò non significa sintomo di debolezza."
Angela Sclaunich
One of four "scrub jays," all of which have a blue necklace and previously considered a single species. This version is endemic to special scrub oak habitat in Florida and is considered vulnerable due to the loss of this habitat. Recent research indicates only 10,000 or so individuals exist and climate warming is leading to decreased nesting success. (“Living Bird” Cornell Lab of Ornithology Vol 44, Number 2)

One of the most beautiful things in Iceland for me personally: Glaciers. The immense size and shapes... Just love it and photographing it is very satisfying with all the shapes and colors. Unfortunately these giants are melting fast. So powerfull and immense, yet so vulnerable
If I gave you every piece of me, I know that you could drop it
Give you the chance, I know that you could take advantage once you got it
If I open up my heart to you, I know that you could lock it
Throw away the key and keep it there forever in your pocket
If I gave the opportunity to you, then would you blow it?
If I was the greatest thing that happened to you, would you know it?
If my love was like a flower, would you plant it, would you grow it?
I might give you all my body, are you strong enough to hold it?
If I show you all my demons
And we dive into the deep end
Would we crash and burn like every time before?
This is Seward Johnson's full-size reconstruction of Edouard Manet's painting "Olympia", which is in the Musee d'Orsay. It is most striking -- one steps through a door into a full-size bedroom, with the prostitute Olympia and her servant (and cat) rendered as though one had stepped into the painting. All in all, an astounding feeling to view this marvelous piece of art.

Lionesses give birth to 2-3 cubs at a time. Usually, a couple females give birth around the same time. The cubs are then raised together, sometimes nursing communally.
Lioness with cubs are vulnerable to predators like hyenas, leopards, and black-backed jackals, cubs have a 60-70% mortality rate. They are sometimes trampled by large animals like buffaloes. Furthermore, when another group of male lions takes over a pride, they kill all the cubs so they can sire their own with the lionesses.
Female cubs stay with the group as they age. At around two years old, they become capable hunters. But young males are forced out of the pride at that age. They form bachelor groups and follow migrating herds until they are strong enough to challenge male lions of other prides. In general, a group of males stays in power in the pride for around three years before another bachelor group takes it over. – Wikipedia

The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal with bulls reaching a shoulder height of up to 4 m (13 ft). Both sexes have tusks, which erupt when they are 1–3 years old and grow throughout life.
It is distributed across 37 African countries and inhabits forests, grasslands and woodlands, wetlands and agricultural land. It is a social mammal, traveling in herds composed of cows and their offspring. Adult bulls usually live alone or in small bachelor groups. It is a herbivore, feeding on grasses, creepers, herbs, leaves and bark.
The description of the species was published in 1797. Since 2004, it has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is threatened foremost by habitat destruction, and in parts of its range also by poaching for meat and ivory.
They can weigh 7 t (7.7 short tons). The heaviest male on record weighed 10.4 t (11.5 short tons) and was shot in 1974 in Angola. Females are much smaller at about 2.2–2.6 m (7.2–8.5 ft) tall at the shoulder and up to 4 t (4.4 short tons) in weight.
Elephants attain their maximum stature when they complete the fusion of long-bone epiphyses, occurring in males around the age of 40 and females around the age of 25.
This image was taken from Nare Point while out walking the Lizard Peninusla near the Helford River.
Looking across towards Falmouth, the weather was clearly turning for the worse with imposing dark clouds blowing in. The small white sailing boats in the mouth of the estuary looked increasingly vulnerable to the change in conditions, while providing a great sense of scale.

Last week I took my friend Alfredo and his bf Casey to do a shoot in Central Park and when we finished I wanted to take some extra shots for a nice portrait of them together that conveys feelings of love, intimacy and vulnerability. After editing it a bit I noticed the foliage looked kind of heart shaped so I just enhanced it a bit to make it more prominent.
About being vulnerable.

❆ Magica Terra, sei il simbolo della perfezione, sei il mio canto della Vita, sei il mio buongiorno di ogni di, non ho contato i miei passi sul tuo suolo poiché infinite sono le tue bellezze.

❆ Le Montagne vivono solo dell' amore dell' uomo.
Dove le abitazioni, poi gli Alberi, poi l erba sono esaurite, nasce il regno sterile, selvaggio, minerale.
Tuttavia, nella sua estrema povertà, nella sua nudità, dispensa una ricchezza che non ha prezzo: la felicità che si scopre negli occhi di chi la frequenta.

This is a self portrait that I took a little while ago, but I never had the guts to post it, I cropped it a little higher though, and now I feel better putting on the internet... I was experimenting with lighting and shadows.
does age bring on a certain vulnerablity?
"When we were children,
we used to think that when we were grown-up
we would no longer be vulnerable.
But to grow up is to accept vulnerability...
To be alive is to be vulnerable."
Madeleine L'Engle
Happy Birthday to vulnerable me~
Sometimes I just want to ask people what makes their heart happy, where they retreat to when things get hard, if they prefer to be in the mountains or at the sea or maybe they love both, what kind of weather their soul needs, and which thoughts stand out when they are drunk in the middle of the night.

If you weren't aware, our endemic Hoiho or Yellow-Eyed Penguin, is the rarest penguin on the planet with populations believed to be hovering around 1,700 breeding pairs. Around 600 are believed to be distributed around the South Island and Stewart Island, with the rest residing on our Sub-Antarctic Islands further south.
Predation by introduced pests, habitat loss, and human disturbance are all key contributing factors to the decline of the Hoiho's numbers with major and strict interventions having to be put in place to try and protect them where we can. Viewing hides, frequent trapping, and restricted access areas have been set up in coastal regions where these penguins frequent in an attempt to bolster their chances of rebounding.
Hoiho feed 2-25km out to sea each day, with parents taking turns incubating eggs, and frequently spend all day out at sea hunting, leaving early in the morning and returning late in the afternoon. Notoriously, upon returning to shore, individuals will usually wait and scope out the beach for threats before trekking up into the vegetation they've nested in. Humans are regularly identified as a threat and the penguin will wait in the water, slowly digesting the precious fish it needs to feed its chick with while it waits for the threat to pass.
To me, this image highlights this stunning penguins vulnerability. Something about the way this individual is precariously positioned above the ocean struck a chord with me about just how fragile their existence is. Living on battered, cold coastlines like this and dealing with as many day to day challenges as they do, it's no wonder that it's a struggle to survive. The least we can do for them is to ensure human related stresses and threats don't compound that further.

This is another one of the category "on flickr about one million times already" but I like it that I made it to achieve this style that I have seen so many times.
Thats why I want to show it.
Everybody who feels bored about it please move instantly or tell me in the comments. I like it.
