One of my wife Patti's favorite images of mine. It was also featured on our 2007 Christmas card for those of you who were lucky enough to get one.
Not the sharpest image, but I enjoyed catching one of the zookeepers offering Murphy a kiss as he arrived in the giraffe barn.
How this simple act can dramatically strengthen your relationship
In my 30 years working with couples, I’ve noticed that most people have an easy time describing what they don’t want in their relationship. If prompted, they’re able to rapidly fire off the many issues that they feel are creating d...

Cette tulipe m'a séduit. Elle m'a fait penser à mon épouse et notre petit teckel qui porte le nom de «Buddie».

A December trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire recently provided excellent conditions for a bit of endangered species photography. The weather was dry, overcast and no wind for a change! The park was also very quiet.
A fair few of the animals were out and about, providing me with some good opportunities.
Thanks for visiting my Flickr page. Happy to receive feedback / comments re my images.
I rather crudely awakened Yuba (accidentally - really!) to take his picture and he demanded affection as recompense for losing part of his nap.
Simply said from the heart, "I love you!"
Day 9 of my Valentine countdown! I see love represented everywhere I go and in everything I do! I'm hoping to capture that in my countdown! Love you, Matt!

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” —Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

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 only a little affection for this FO--and as you can see, I have no idea how to wear it or put it on.
These photos are fuzzy by accident - but I think thats great - because it is the general idea that matters!
My friends held hands like the monks do in Asia and laughing, said -" take a picture - Buddhists holding hands - it's ok to be gay - either way - doesn't matter!"
They are both straight.
I am around, but one of those busy times (probably for everyone). I'll drop in to see your gorgeous photos asap.
I was a bit far, and on the other side of the window, to get this perfectly, but it is too charming not to share. The cardinal pair (Rhett and Scarlet, or a new couple?) enjoyed feeding at the dish of corn, and then now and then, she would pick a piece to feed to him. I think it went vice versa, too. Ain't love grand?
(I don't know if little sparrow is surprised or jealous, but he has twirled some lovely songs, so think he's hopeful.)
A little touch under the chin goes along way . Keeping her camels pacified before the Christmas parade .

I've been hoping to get a shot of this behavior - male Great Egret presenting nesting material to female.
Not too much needs to be said here. Tyrol's warm glowing eyes and Vienna's closed eyes are anchored by mutually endearing smiles. Interestingly their heads are tilted away from each other but their bodies are close up even leaning on each other. I like the light and shadows and Tyrol's dimple. This is warm and cozy and good for the wearied like having a healthy affection workout. Washington DC, 15 October 2016.
These are all just catching-the-moment photos. You know, the look-what-is-happening-and-grab-the-camera-sitting-next-to-you-fast approach to photography. In Vidalia's case, the camera still had the 100mm macro lens with an 8-point-star filter. Not ideal for indoor photography with ambient light, but still, catches the moment. In Mr. Grigsby's case, he and Bogart were sharing a patch of sunlight from the skylight.

My friends can view the larger size.
I woke up one morning and these flowers had suddenly bloomed into glorious deep rose blossoms! It was very windy and my camera was handheld, but I still liked the result.
"In traditional herbalism columbine was considered sacred to Venus; carrying a posy of it was said arouse the affections of a loved one.
Nicholas Culpeper recommended it to ease the pains of childbirth. In modern herbal medicine it is used as an astringent and diuretic.
Aquilegia vulgaris (European Columbine, Common Columbine or Granny's Nightcap) is a species of columbine native to Europe. It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1.2 m tall, with branched, thinly hairy stems."
