Mafuta is a rescued Serval based at Emdoneni Lodge. It is a cat rescue and aims to promote cat conservation. At present they have Servals, Cheetahs, African wildcats and Caracals. The animals they rescue cannot return to the wild as many were rescued as previous pets. However, they do breed and progeny are carefully reintroduced back to the wild.
Mafuta in particular was rescued as a pet.... his previous owner couldnt cope with him when he became a teenager. I remember him clearly when I visited 5 years ago. I took a low key image of him with his keeper. He's certainly very affectionate with keepers and guests.
Mafuta also likes the camera. Photographed at Emdoneni Lodge - Zululand cat conservation project - Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
This is Olive as Janet so affectionately named her, she was the hardest working mum you could have ever wished for. After the sudden disappearance of the male, she battled on with raising the three Owlets, working literally day and night finding food for them (I know this, as the trail cam picked up every food delivery) I have no idea when she slept, she was constant !!
All this is said in past tense, as she is no longer alive. Last Monday (6th) she was hit by a vehicle we think. After placing her up by my hide, she managed to fly up into the hedge, we were hoping she was just a little bruised. After nearly week of no sightings of any kind we feared the worst, but on Saturday evening she was down on the floor just feet from the hide. I whisked her immediately to the vets, but with all the virus restrictions, I just had to leave her at the door. I was promised a call on Sunday, to give me an update. Well, the call came, but it wasn't good news, she had a broken shoulder and had to be put down. Heaven knows how she flew on that Monday.
Would I have done things differently in hindsight..... I don't know. I was thinking of the three Owlets she had. It was like she came to pass them into my care.
I'm doing my best for them Olive !!!!

The Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen), affectionately called Maggie by most "Aussies", is truly an icon, here in Australia.
And it seems that the birds know it, as they can soon become very friendly, even when they have never seen you before !
This Magpie was sitting on my sister's fence, in Salamander Bay, when I started talking to her. She listened attentively, showing no fear at all, even though I was standing pretty close to her, as if it was perfectly normal to pose as a bird model for a total stranger :)) /
La Pie Australienne, connue en France sous le nom de Cassican flûteur, en raison de son chant melodieux, est appelee affectueusement "Maggie" par la plupart des Australiens. Elle fait partie des symboles de ce pays/continent.
Et il semble que les oiseaux le sachent car ils peuvent etre tres familiers, meme lorsqu'ils ne vous ont jamais vue !
Ce Cassican se tenait sur la cloture de ma soeur ainee, a Salamander Bay, lorsque j'ai commence a lui parler. Elle m'a ecoutee tres attentivement, en ne montrant absolument aucune crainte, alors que j'etais tres pres d'elle, comme si le fait de jouer les modeles pour moi etait tout a fait normal :))
Affectionately known as "The Mayor of Beck Street" Bob suffered a stroke about 6 years back that has effected his walking, but not his talking. He is always eager to fill us in on the latest gossip or to tell us an off color joke.
Speirs Point is a hidden gem located on the South Arm of the Alouette River where it meets up and joins the tidal Pitt River.
Nestled along this rural waterway, you will find a small community of ultimately romantic looking stilt and float homes, including a variety of pleasure craft and boat housing.
Situated on River Dykes Trail that is made up of walking and hiking routes.
An scenic and idyllic location for canoeing and kayaking.

A pair of Brown-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus) was swimming in leisure while keeping a close distance. Here the ambience and the romantic posture of the birds created a delightful composition. The Bokeh here made them look further charming. Pics was taken from Purbasthali wetland, West Bengal, India.
I tried to kept the same light, the same mood they lives in... it`s incredible how those animals are friendly and gentles... when I was there, that special lady was talking to them all the time... and most of the animals were gots so close to me, I was suprise the way they were intimately, affectionate... :|\\
Well lol what would you do?? Cupcake, my young golden girl comes for snuzzles.. Such an affectionate girl!! just an iPhone shot as I had to act fast!!
Affectionately known as Stac Polly by the Scots.
We waited for an hour and a half for a gap in the clouds, so that beautiful warm light fell on the mountain and its surroundings. The colours in winter are truly stunning.
Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That is much appreciated.
Please view at the full size of 1600. It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
This tree is affectionately called by locals, the Summerfolk tree because it stands at this spot where the annual Summerfolk music festival is held in our city. I have photographed it in many seasons and in different lights so it is always a challenge to capture it in a unique way. One huge limb broke off several years ago. The tree struggles to survive despite what Mother Nature throws at it. This was just a few days ago when we had our final dump of heavy snow. It’s the first time I have seen the tree this buried. Even the geese and ducks sank in the snow as soon as they landed near the tree. The Marina range light can be seen in the distance on the horizon that shows more snow coming.

Dana, my parent's foster greyhound, has become very affectionate and close to their other greyhounds. She always likes to rest her head on their backs. She is such a sweet and loving dog, I hope she finds a deserving home
Aberystwyth, affectionately known as 'Aber', is a town with wider horizons than its rural coastline setting and relaxed lifestyle might suggest. As a university town, it's a melting pot of cultures and ideas: museums, archives and galleries reveal a depth of heritage to be discovered; superlatives abound: first, oldest, longest, best ...
Aberystwyth is an ideal base to explore the landscapes of Ceredigion the Cardigan Bay coast and the Cambrian Mountains.

Something sunny to warm you up during these freezing winter days ;) Another sunset image from last November, taken with the phone camera, which gave me enough range to zoom into the scene. Zooming into the telephoto range on the phone is a mixed bag, and for me, the best use cases are wide-to-normal-range shots and close-ups. But it's good to have.
The "Golden Girl" of the title refers to the statue in the background, the Siegessäule (Berlin Victory Column), one of Germany's most important national monuments, that depicts the mythological goddess of victory, Victoria (obviously). The Berliners affectionately call the monument "Goldelse" (the closest translation is "Golden Elisa").
Today, its rather problematic (war and victory-related) origins in Prussian history have been overlaid by its function as a symbol of the Love Parade music festival (which originated in West Berlin in 1989 and took place in Berlin until 2003). "Siegessäule" is also the name of our biggest monthly, free publication of the queer/LGBTQ community.
Wishing you a nice weekend, dear Flickr friends, and stay warm (or cool, if you are on the summer side of Earth).
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
Affectionately named Scorpio.
Red Tail Hawk I have been following since he was a 'pup'. He hanging out in local park we walk in mornings. Sitting on railing as people pass by or hopping around on grass by pond, sometimes oblivious to us walkers. Gives me a hissing noise or stare down when I point camera, then remains doing funny antics. Bit of a moody fellow.
An odd, yet fun study.
Pic taken against a totally white cloud day.
affectionate play beween two lionesses, when the one turned over to look at me lying on the floor of the low slung safari jeep...a magical moment, but a feeling of vulnerability too! even though we were close I still wanted to crop this shot to show her expression...
An affectionate name for this bridge, which at high tide becomes completely surrounded by water.
It spans Biel Water, where it runs into the ocean at Belhaven, on the east coast of Scotland.
This was a little earlier in the evening than my previous post, not quite as stormy, with a hint of colour.
#8 most popular cats for 2022 by the Cat Fanciers' Association is the: British Shorthair. Covered in thick, plush fur with soft, round eyes, the British Shorthair is as cute as any cat could be. Adding to this is their friendly, affectionate personality. They’re playful and fun, though they also tend to be quite lazy! Your British Shorthair will spend most of its time lounging around, simply enjoying the relaxation. Though they’re very popular pets, their expensive pricing can make them unobtainable for many.

This little guy was affectionately named Buttons by the park staff at one of the campgrounds we stayed at on Vancouver Island. Although he ambled quietly towards our campsite at 6 pm both nights we were camping, he never bothered searching for food on our site. We had tucked all our food away in a locked metal bin on site. He simply climbed up the same tree as we watched him from a comfortable distance on our little deck. After observing him for a few minutes, I realized he was after the few apples hanging in the tree. He took a few bites from several apples and I waited until he showed himself in this opening in the branches. I was able to frame him nicely with a few apples hanging in view. When he was done, he would carefully and slowly slip down the tree trunk and amble off into the woods again. I wish all raccoons could be so polite. I have just this week put up the bird feeder in my back yard for our winter birds. I am hoping our backyard raccoons have gone to sleep with our recent snowfalls and will leave the feeder alone.
An immensely strong, heavy-duty worker of spitz type, the Alaskan Malamute is an affectionate, loyal, and playful but dignified dog recognizable by his well-furred plumed tail carried over the back, erect ears, and substantial bone.
In 1936, Jungle Gardens founder E. A. McIlhenny (affectionately known as “Mr. Ned”) received a magnificent Buddha statue as a surprise gift from two of his friends in New York City. After discovering the statue in a Manhattan warehouse (where it had sat unclaimed for years), they shipped it to Mr. Ned by rail - hoping that it would find a suitable home among the Asian flora of his gardens.
Mr. Ned created a beautiful shrine set within an opulent garden for the Buddha, which is said to be more than 900 years old. The Buddha quickly became a focal point for visitors and still serves as a centerpiece at the Gardens. In recent years, the shrine has become an active place of worship for local Buddhists, who conduct a number of ceremonies there throughout the year - most notably on Buddha’s birthday.
NGC 1566, affectionately known as the ‘Spanish Dancer’, is the second brightest Seyfert galaxy visible in the sky as well as one of the closest to us. Seyfert galaxies have a very luminous nucleus with many of the characteristics of a quasar.
Nestled within the heart of the Dorado Group lie NGC 1553 and NGC 1549, positioned in the bottom left of the image. Another galaxy NGC 1546 is located near the bottom left corner of the image.

Affectionately known as "The chick on a stick" The Victory Column (German: Siegessäule, from Sieg ‘victory’ + Säule ‘column’) is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Second Schleswig War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, 8.3 metres (27 ft) high, designed by Friedrich Drake.
Two lions - brothers - photographed in the Timbavati Nature Reserve in South Africa. It forms part of the amazing Kruger National Park. Seeing this affectionate behavior in the wild was both a privileged and emotional experience for me. I will never forget it.

Yes, I have a king-size bed. And yes, this is how we sleep. Dusty is by far the most physically affectionate dog I have ever known. He's a hugger, a cuddler, a pillow hog.
Notice how I am pushed up against the wall. Dash, bless his heart, is on the far side of the bed blissfully happy to be left alone.
Yes, my beard's a mess and I'm a bit out of focus. But, as Dusty would point out, HE should be the focus. And, he is.
