This is Braveheart, the male wildcat that I saw at the British Wildlife Centre six weeks ago. You can just see small raindrops clinging to his fur.

This will be the last post from Wildcat, at least for a while..:)...so, maybe I will post something other than a waterfall tomorrow! I am off to work, I'll check everyones latest uploads when I get home tonight!
An Intermountain Power coal train loads at the Andelex Rosources, Inc. facility on the Utah Railway at Wildcat, Utah (west of Helper) on Sept. 18, 2009. By 2013, Wildcat was expanded to include crude oil transloading from truck to rail, known as the AES Oil Loading Terminal.

Wildcats are clinging on by a claw and Scotland is their last refuge from extinction in Britain. Thankfully, over 30 zoos, wildlife parks and private collections have come together as members of a breeding programme to help ensure their survival.
The Royal Zoological Society for Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity and lead partner for the Saving Wildcats project, has been managing the UK captive population since 2015 to make sure those wildcats can support the restoration of the species in Britain. In 2020, RZSS celebrated a record breeding year after 57 wildcat kittens were born within the UK conservation breeding programme.
“Wildcats are one of Britain’s rarest and most endangered mammals, which means every kitten is a potential lifeline. Over the last few years, the members of the wildcat breeding programme have demonstrated the immense value in working together to secure a future for this iconic species.”

Gestern war ich im Wildpark - immer eine gute Gelegenheit um etwas neues zu probieren. Hier hatte ich viel Glück, dass die Wildkatze recht nah saß und ich ein Bild mit dem Makro machen konnte. Der Hintergrund hatte dazu diese tollen pastellartigen Farben und so entstand letztendlich dieses eher ungewöhnliche Bild.
I've been to the wildlife park yesterday. It is always a nice way to try out something new. This wildcat here sat nice and close so I had to use my macro lens. The background had those nice pastel like colors and that is how I was able to get this picture.

Back in the late 1950's and early '60's, orchid breeders were fascinated by the complex Oncidae
alliances that they could create. Many were crosses of warm and cool growing varieties in the hope that they could be induced to grow in a broader range of conditions.
One such inter generic cross was the merging of Oncidium, Miltonopsis, and Odontoglossum. The cross was named Colmanara after the famous English breeder, Sir Jeremiah Coleman.
In 1992, Rod McLellan registered his cross of Ons. Rustic Bridge X Onc. Crownborough and named it Colm. Wildcat.
Like most other Colmanara's, Wildcat is a cool to intermediate grower. Wintertime lows can
comfortably reach 55-60 degrees. Summer daytime highs should be kept below 80-85 degrees F. These conditions can be met even in West Central Florida if you grow them in bright shade and high humidity with good air movement.
Wildcat is a complex cross, made up of seven or eight species. Colors of the parents cover the
spectrum from crisp clear yellows, browns, mahogany, and ranging through heavy waxy maroons and reds. -Wikipedia

I saw this Scottish Wildcat the British Wildlife Centre in 2023. Sadly, I haven't managed a visit there in 2024 (yet)
This is one of the Scottish Wildcats at the British Wildlife Centre. She seemed to be doing some particularly contortionist yoga moves - or maybe I'm anthropomorphising a bit.
This is the lowest waterfall on Wildcat Branch in the Wildcat Wayside Park the Mountain Bridge Wilderness in Cleveland, South Carolina, which sits literally right at the roadside of Highways 11/276 near the entrance to Jones Gap Park. During the warmer summer you'll find many cars parked in the pull-off and the shallow pool will be filled with children sitting in the falls and frolicking in the water. As I've passed by over the past few years, an ice cream vendor was also parked in the pull-off selling ice cream to the children and families. The flow here is not that substantial, but it is still a photogenic and enjoyable place for families to visit. It was planned in the early 1930's and was originally known as the Greenville Wayside Park until it was incorporated into the Mountain Bridge Wilderness and renamed after the branch flowing through the park. There is a well-maintained and popular loop trail that passes four waterfalls here. On my way to Big Fall Creek Falls, I decided to stop, make a few photos and hike the loop trail and here is the first.
Named "Callie" by the Saving Wildcats project, she is one of many Scottish Wildcats bred and released into the Cairngorms National Park.
She was initially tracked and has had successful litters since her release. She now frequents the Glenmore area, including the Reindeer Centre where she hunts the ducks that steal the reindeer feed - which is where I saw her.
It really was quite something to witness this up close and such a great project restoring the presence of these cats in the Scottish Highlands.
The fall colors are just beginning to change here in eastern Iowa as seen on this road in Wildcat Den State Park.
I spent a wonderful day at the British Wildlife Centre on one of their photo days. Great company and lots of great subjects but these wildcats and their kittens were my favourite of the day!

A four pack of 45 series EMDs are in the process of loading 84 aluminum IPP coal hoppers at the Tower Resources loading facility at Wildcat, Utah.
Today, this expanded terminal is busy loading Uintah Basin waxy crude oil from trucks to tank cars by Wildcat Midstream Partners.
Uintah Basin waxy crude oil is a unique, high-paraffin, low-sulfur, and low-metal crude, prized for producing high-quality lubricant base stocks and low-sulfur marine fuels. Most of the product here is transported by rail to the Port of South Louisiana on the Gulf Coast.
