It's actually quite hard to catch these tender moments. These deer have known one other all of their lives, but their visible social encounters are fleeting, or so they seem to us.
We came across a small pride of lions (Pantera leo) feasting on a dead cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer). It didn’t look like a fresh kill, but there was still enough meat to keep the lions’ interest. After filling their bellies, the lions drank in a nearby swampy area, then sat down to play and rest. Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Still standing. “All I have is the clothes on my back and love from this woman I call friend”, Is what she said to me. #streetphotography #affection #streets #streetsincolor #streetseries #streetsofcanada #streetsoftoronto #street #torontostreetphotography #streetpeople #lifeonthestreets #eyes #candid #streetcandid #vivitar300mm200mm #vivitar #vintagelens
A pair of affectionate Black-Browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) seen on New Island in the Falkland Islands on December 19th, 2024.
On September 20, 2021, I was invited to join two new friends for lunch on Georgetown Island, Maine, USA. My friend Brian was travelling with his dog, Riddle, who I had met during online concerts given by Brian & his husband Martin Swinger. Riddle is a charming dog, who honored me by "holding hands" under the table during lunch. Brian had told me that this is one of the ways Riddle shows affection! I've never had a dog or cat of my own, but have been blessed to know a few truly sweet souls who could communicate even with a non-pet owner! Riddle is one!
I've been hoping to get a shot of this behavior - male Great Egret presenting nesting material to female.

I went to an educational presentation by Sarvey Wildlife (pronounced Sarvee) this afternoon. I’ve been thinking about volunteering there instead of just sending money. I’ve worried I’ll be afraid to be that close to these amazing animals. I was surprised in the presentation though. Although they were only about 20’ away, I was not afraid at all. I didn’t even think about being afraid. I think maybe I should give it a try.
This is Freedom and Jeff and their story is at the link below. Freedom is now 12. She cannot be released back into the wild because of her injuries.
Even though these animals have been saved from certain death it is heart breaking that they cannot ever be truly free. It is hard for me to not attribute human feelings to animals. Like hoping that they are happy, content and enjoy life. I hope that they aren’t hurting.
Maybe they are thinking they certainly have the life. They never go hungry. They are loved. Many have the company of others of their species. They have shelter.

I learned a lot today. Like most owl injuries are from them flying into vehicles. They get “food focused” and unfortunately a car appears and they don’t react as quickly as they should or they just don’t see the car until it is too late. I learned that Peregrine Falcons can fly 200 mph!! Great Horned Owls lay their ear tufts down when they are mad (like a cat with its ears)... and much more.
I have a few more photos to post later. The owls we saw were Saw Whet, Great Horned, Barn, Barred (sp?). A Peregrine Falcon, Red Tailed Hawk and a Golden Eagle. He talked a lot and so did Freedom.
