I've affectionately named this yard rat Stumpy, as she apparently lost her tail to some unknown predator. Seen here as she contemplates whether or not I've put a fresh coat of Vaseline on the bird feeder pole.
The squirrels get their own supply of peanuts, but they prefer the sunflowers seeds at the top of the pole...
The Fox Red Labrador also called the Red Fox Lab, and sometimes known as the Ruby Labrador, is a stunning dog. He is a Labrador Retriever like any other, but with the color of a red fox. Despite being labeled as red in color, he is technically just a deeper shade of the traditional yellow Labrador. Like any Labrador, he is energetic and fun to be around, but at the same time, he is also affectionate and gentle with his family, which is why he makes such a great family pet.
More 'affectionately' known as Pigeon.
STRANGELY, though they are among the commonest of birds, and pretty much universally disliked, we very seldom see them in our backyard. Don't know why. This shot was taken at the edge of the woods, along the railroad tracks.
For the challenge

Topaz is a precious, affectionate little filly who enjoyed the attention and was looking forward to being turned out. Her handlers were taking excellent care of her.
Per Kentucky Equine Adoption Center: Topaz was born in June 2023. She is full of personality and is sure to spread joy to everyone she meets. Topaz is halter broke and enjoys a good grooming session. She has a big puppy dog personality and loves to cuddle. Topaz is super brave and very fond of humans. Because of this, we suspect she will be a very fun and uncomplicated filly to train when she is older. We have seen her gait and trot.

Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.

What we affectionately call "The Batmobile" is my Father-in-Law's 2006 Mercedes AMG CLS 55. It has a 469 HP 5.7 liter V8. It's top speed is electronically limited at 155 MPH.
While at his house, I noticed the cooling fan was making a funny noise and would not shut off. He called Mercedes and they came right out and disabled the fan. The Batmobile is scheduled for service tomorrow anyway, so I'm sure they'll fix it there.
These aren't particularly good photos, but I had the camera on-hand for my daughter's birthday party and couldn't resist snapping a couple of pics.
A mother Sambar deer (Rusa unicolor) with its fawn was sensing the situation as they became too close to myself to their comfort. But fortunately they happily accepted my presence and continued their feeding on young grasses by the road. The shy baby looked quite adorable, very affectionate to its mother always hiding behind her, But the real problem with this shot was that they were against the light. Fortunately the Nikon prime made them look fascinating against the beautifully lighten green and yellow backdrop bokeh. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.

I came home tonight and there were a couple of crows on my telephone wire making noise. I looked up and they were being affectionate to each other. I took a photo but it wasn't the best quality. I came back outside after dinner and having a shower and they were back together on the other side of the road still being affectionate with each other. I got a better photo but after I took their photo they flew away. It was really nice to see and made my evening a little bit more enjoyable.
With the distance from my home in Stevensville, Montana to the National Bison Range in Charlo at somewhere around 90 miles,
I get my bison-visit-and-photo-session fix at the local Bitterroot Bison Ranch here in Stevensville. Not that the National Range,
with a herd of some 400-600 isn't worth the drive. It most certainly is, with both very dramatic scenery and an up-close-and-personal bison experience nearly guaranteed. If you're ever close to it, put off the visit to the local duck pond and make your way over and into Bison World for sure.
I caught this intimate moment while at the local version of Bisonville here in Stevi on a very cold November afternoon
some years ago. And, having just come across the image in the files while looking for something else, I thought you might want to get in on the intimacy yourself, just for the fun of it. And it
was fun to catch a special moment like this, even with fingers half frozen and with barely any feeling in the nose on my face.
Speaking of nosy.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself xD

The Wellenweber Antenna, affectionately called "The Elephant Cage" by the troops.
Wikipedia: The Wullenweber (the original name introduced by Dr. Hans Rindfleisch was Wullenwever) is a type of Circularly Disposed Antenna Array (CDAA) sometimes referred to as a Circularly Disposed Dipole Array (CDDA). It is a large circular antenna array used for radio direction finding. It was used by the military to triangulate radio signals for radio navigation, intelligence gathering and search and rescue. Because its huge circular reflecting screen looks like a circular fence, the antenna has been colloquially referred to as the elephant cage. The term wullenwever was the World War II German cover term used to identify their secret CDAA research and development program; its name is unrelated to any person involved in the program.

Known affectionately to the locals as strawberry chickens, the lesser and greater flamingos of Walvis Bay and Sandwich Harbour were one of the highlights of our tour on this part of the Namibian coast.
Affectionately known as Chapell's Pond or just The Pond this is where I practically lived all through my growing up years! There were no cattails growing in it then. On this end it was shallow and when little we had to stay and play on this end, but all the "big kids" were at the Other end and that is where all the action was and of course that is where the little ones wanted to be! Your right of passage was when you could swim the whole length of it alongside of Dad and then finally you were allowed to play with the big kids! In the upper right corner of the photo you can see a part of the pavilion that was added by my sister and her husband. It's fantastic with electricity and a refrigerator! No running water so camping there was still a bit of a wild camp. Our tent was pitched further right than that and a little closer to the outhouse!! I forget the exact count, but something like 4 or 5 beautiful weddings have been held here with one more coming this summer. And for once I was up before Anita and the Grandbaby so had a lovely wander around looking and remembering. :)
Designed for stacking efficiently in docking stations the G1 is more often affectionately referred to as the 'brick'.
This vehicle is affectionately know as "Teddy" after non-other than President Teddy Roosevelt, who the original owner admired. This car was manufactured in Canada and the original owner lived across the border in Minnesota.
This picture here was taken at the present owners estate, Stone Haven, a home build in the 1800's and restored and now part of the National Register of Historic Places. Another story in itself.
The present owner was told about the car from a friend who knew the original owner and the car was sold knowing that it was going to see a new life.
There was a team of "Hooligans", as they are affectionately called, who over the past 8 years have assembled and reassembled Teddy several times. Modifications, improvements, and innovations seem to evolve over time. The project was really a labor of love that has brought a group together that will be friends forever.
I feel privileged in just a small way to be taken in by this group and to photograph this marvel of a car. Bonds are formed in different ways and Teddy has been a bond that has brought an amazing group of people together. More pictures to follow.
We affectionately referred to this leopard as Mr. Grumpy, as he did not tolerate our company without making his displeasure known. He was kind enough, however, to give us some nice poses before finding a place to himself in the forest. (Panthera padres). (Sony a9iii, 70-200 f/4 lens at 197mm, f/4, 1/1000 second, ISO 3200)
Italian Greyhounds (Iggys) are small, sleek, elegant toy sighthounds known for being affectionate, playful, and dainty, resembling miniature Greyhounds with delicate frames, long necks, and slender legs, thriving as companion dogs that love to cuddle but also have bursts of speed and need regular exercise, though they are sensitive to cold due to their thin layer of flesh and hair. Despite their delicate looks, they are surprisingly fast and agile, needing playtime and mental stimulation.
