Balancing Act - This backyard Bobcat may not be wearing Air Jordans, but he's certainly got hops like a prime MJ!
Bobcats have longer hind legs than front legs and it's amazing how much jumping power they can generate from a standstill.
Recently, I've enjoyed capturing images of wildlife in urban settings. I think there's great value to showing how wildlife navigates the built environment and showcasing their importance to urban ecosystems.
Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)

David Attenborough says the world must act now on plastic after witnessing its impacts filming Blue Planet II
"We’ve seen albatrosses come back with their belly full of food for their young. You think it’s going to be squid, but it’s plastic".
“We may think we live a long way from the oceans but we don’t. What we actually do here ... has a direct effect on the oceans and what the oceans do then reflects back on us".
“It is one world. And it’s in our care. For the first time in the history of humanity, for the first time in 500 million years, one species has the future in the palm of its hands. I just hope he realizes that that is the case”.
"Almost 80 percent of the 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic produced over the past 70 years has been discarded into landfill or the environment, including the ocean".
"The plastic is thrown away since the 1950s will eventually form a layer sedimentary rock detectable by future generations".
"Tap-water samples from more than a dozen nations were recently analyzed for an investigation by Orb Media. Plastic fibers were found in more than 83 percent of the samples, meaning billions of people are drinking water contaminated with plastic particles".
"It is not yet known how the human body processes plastic after it is swallowed, including whether chemicals leach out of the plastic into the body and cause inflammation, or whether body tissue just seals over plastic".
"Blue Planet II returns to the oceans 16 years after the first series, The Blue Planet, was broadcast.
Its production team had noticed changes such as plastic in the ocean over years of making underwater films, said it's executive producer James Honeyborne".
"Greenpeace praised Sir David for speaking out. It called on the Government to introduce “deposit-return schemes”, whereby consumers receive a small deposit back when they return plastic packaging such as bottles for recycling".
“The good news is that there are things we could do right now to stop this plastic scourge,” said Greenpeace spokesperson Louise Edge.
Ms. Edge also called on companies to set a date for reducing the number of single-use bottles they produced and asked consumers to use less plastic".
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The three Araragi siblings show off their circus skills (mostly Karen’s amazing strength) in this week’s feature for the Smile on Saturday theme, BALANCING ACT.
Physics students will know why older brother Koyomi is seated closer to center than youngest sister Tsukihi. As always, the Araragis do their own stunts.
it's funny. you go into shoots sometimes and parents have this whole idea of what they may want; running around frantically telling their kids to button up, change their shirt, stand up straight, stop hitting each other, start smiling, I can go on--
"act natural" is a phrase I've heard so many times and I've noticed that it's typically said when their true character has already fully unveiled itself. ofcourse the smiling photo is doable, but boys will be boys. the only thing you can do is work with their mischievous ways. throw in a few props and make a story.
And the award for the best supporting act goes to........
37716 and 37422 outside York Thrall (Holgate) during the evening on Sat 16th December 2023.
These are 2 out of a total of 5 Class 37’s that were included in the line up, following the end of the locomotives use on the 2023 railhead treatment trains based at York. I feel a bit mean referring to these 2 as a mere supporting act. They were of course much more than that, although it's probably fair to say that the majority of attention went the way of the other 3.
The photo shoot was organised by the well respected Network Rail Director Chris Gee, and involved a huge amount of detailed preparation and organisation amongst both DRS and Network Rail, as well as numerous individuals. It was a great success and all of the proceeds raised (£3,000.00) will be donated to Martin House Hospice.
Against a rocky backdrop, a girl expertly makes her way across a log spanning a depression in the Oboke Gorge, Shikoku Island, Japan. Some fall vegetation, including the pretty tassels of maiden silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis) are included in the shot.
Terwijl ACTS 7105 wacht om te mogen vertrekken met twee ketelwagens, een van GATX en een van Wascosa, rijdt een fraaie Rolls Royce weg die al een tijd geparkeerd stond achter me. Gelukkig vond de bestuurder een ruime keercirkel noodzakelijk :-)
Op verzoek van de gemeente Groningen herstart VAM in 1998 het vervoer van huisvuil per trein. Direct na de opening van de aansluiting in september 1998 start ACTS een dagelijkse afvaldienst naar Wijster. Vervoerd wordt GFT-afval, grof huishoudelijk afval en RDF, een restproduct van de vergistingsinstallatie die biogas produceert.
Vanaf 2001 wordt het RDF middels een wekelijkse rijdende afvaltrein naar Schwarze Pumpe in Spreewitz afgevoerd. Twee jaar later komt er tweemaal per week een RDF-trein bij naar Bremen. De trein naar Spreewitz vervalt herhaaldelijk, die naar naar Bremen stopt in het voorjaar van 2009. In de loop van 2010 wordt het vuilvervoer bij Vagron geheel gestopt.
In 2008 werden naast de Vagron-containers beladen met RDF naar Bremen ook containers meegenomen vanuit Veendam. De containerdraagwagens en afvalwagens werden in Onnen gecombineerd en vanaf daar tweemaal per week via de grensovergang bij Nieuweschans afgevoerd naar Leer en Bremen.
Op 6 juni 2008 is ACTS-loc 7107 na de kruising met Arriva uit Leer vertrokken met trein 47728 richting Leer en passeert hier de brug over de Westerwoldsche Aa. Rechts is een deel van de Oude Remise, een voormalige locomotiefloods van de Staatsspoorwegen, uit 1876 te zien. In 1996 werd het gebouw opgenomen in een reeks van industriële monumenten in de provincie Groningen. De Oude Remise herbergt ondermeer een koffieschenkerij, de Stichting Bruisend Bad Nieuweschans, een toeristisch informatiepunt, een kunstencentrum en museum De Graanrepubliek gevestigd.
'Disappearing Act'
4/365
This morning instead of a thunderstorm, it was a very billowy fog that was brushing up against the windows. Even though it was just beginning to be light, I tumbled out of bed and ran around the house trying to find my snuggly parka and tripod and remote. Then I made a quick dash out the back and tried to play it casual for the passing cars as I ran along the road a little ways to the big field where the fog was sitting in clouds on the ground.
The ground was covered in silvery frost and the moon was still hanging over the mountain. Through the fog it looked very beautifully ghostly and soft.
These are my most favorite times in all of my life; little solitary moments when the world transforms back into fairyland again and I can disappear into it for even just a short while
^_^
Sunrise in Cades Cove at Sparks Lane on October 16, 2016. Heavy cloud cover to the North South and West erupted in color at sunrise because of clear skies to the east. This is the opening act of color that morning...best sunrise I have seen in a while, without a doubt the best I have seen in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Watching it build was a special treat.
** I can see you staring there from across the block
With a smile on your mouth and your hand on your c***huh!
The story of us it always starts the same
A boy and a girl and a c***huh! and a game! **
