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.
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)

In Affectionate Remembrance of Henry Morley who died at Chittering Brook on the 6 December 1876 aged 74 years.
One of the oldest settlers who successfully contended with the early difficulties of the colony. Was universally esteemed by his neighbours and deeply mourned by his relations and immediate friends.
Also Sarah his wife. Died August 2 1884 aged 79 years.
Now that's a epitaph. Although I can't confirm it I suspect he was related to Charles William Morley after whom the suburb (Morley) is named.
Tigger was quite affectionate this morning - I tried to take her picture but she was concentrating on rubbing against my chair in the kitchen so the result was a little blurry...
The Collie breed originated from Scotland where they were used as a hardworking sheepdog. They are still used today to work/herd animals on farms. The Collie was first registered by the AKC in 1885 and was grouped as Herding. The Collie is intelligent, loving, affectionate and social. This breed is great with kids because they are so mile mannered. They make great watchdogs and protectors
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.
The roses (from Latin pink) are the planting plants of the Rosaceae family. The genus encompasses between 100 and 250 species.
The love of a cat is eternal,even if it puts its tongue in my mouth!😂😂😂
The Sphynx of my artist friend Elena Conti is very affectionate.
Known affectionately as the "Hamburger galaxy", this is an edge on spiral galaxy that is part of a small group of galaxies called the "Leo Triplet"
Its probably had gravitational interactions with the other 2 galaxies in the group which has resulted in a warping of the plane of the galaxy as seen towards the left hand edge.
Deeper images show a tail of stars from the right of the galaxy trailing off towards some of the other members but its just too faint here.
Cold galactic dust and hydrogen clouds are well seen edge on here, along with the glow of the galactic core and a peripheral blue edge from spiral arm stars.
In a way , not unlike the view we get of our Milky Way galaxy.
There is even a small, faint dwarf galaxy seen just above NGC3628, just like one of our own Magellanic cloud galaxies.
LRGB subs x 8 processed in PixInsight. Ive started to use selective colour masks which is working well for enhancing galactic cores and spiral arms whilst leaving everything else untouched. Used a little TGVDenoise just at the end for noise reduction in the background.

Big, boisterous, and affectionate, the Otterhound was bred in medieval England for the now-outlawed activity of otter hunting. This scarce breed is known for his dense shaggy coat, webbed feet, acute sense of smell, and affinity for swimming.
Affectionately known as Battleship rock off Wreck Island, Georgian Bay. Depending on the water level it is either a peninsula or single island, in the shape of a submarine (more or less). This year the water level is approximately 40cm higher, so now it sits as an island.

These two were having a blast running up and down and all over this maple tree, then they stopped for a little snuggle. They were also preening each other. I got such delight out of watching them.

This was supposed to be a sort of contemporary NASA cab rover like you might see in a 'Mars 2030' video but it went a bit left of field.

An affectionate pair of Puffins at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
We spent a lovely day on Sunday at Bempton Cliffs, on the Yorkshire coast. There were plenty of Gannets and other birds such as Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Razorbills and Fulmars but the Puffins always steal the show.
A couple more shots below.
This is my gorgeous baby Moriarty (named after watching far too much Sherlock Holmes) sitting watching the snow fall.
He is so soppy and affectionate as well as being the most beautiful cat in the whole World, I know I'm slightly bias, but those eyes!
Moriarty is a Ragdoll. I chose the breed Ragdoll because of their laidback temperament, beautiful blue eyes and affectionate behaviour, and he definitely lives up to it.
Here's a bit of info about Ragdolls, for anyone who's interested in the breed.
Ragdolls are large, laid-back, semi longhaired cats with captivating blue eyes. The Ragdoll is a pointed breed, which means that the body is lighter in colour than the points (the face, legs, tail and ears). The Ragdoll cat is carefully bred to produce large affectionate animals in three patterns, two with white (mitted and bi-colour) and one with no white (colourpoint). The ideal Ragdoll is a well-balanced cat, with no extreme features. Neutered males will usually top the scale at 15-20 pounds; females are proportionately smaller and usually weigh between 10-15 pounds at maturity. Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full coat colour at two years, and full size and weight at four.
Ragdoll cats tend to be more interested in humans than some breeds of cats. They are known to run to greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, flop on you, sleep with you, and generally choose to be where you are. Many Ragdolls have been taught to come when called and play fetch. They are gentle cats, and usually play without extending their claws. Ragdolls tend to be floor cats, not jumpers. The Ragdoll's semi long coat is plush and silky, and requires minimal grooming to keep it looking its best. They should be combed with a steel comb on a regular basis to find and remove any loose hair or tangles. Quality coats consist mainly of long, soft guard hairs. Ragdolls, just like all breeds of cats, will shed, usually with the change of seasons. The absence of the thick, dense, insulating undercoats results in reduced shedding and matting. In all, Ragdolls are well behaved, and easy to care for perfect pet for our modern, busy, lifestyles.
Ragdolls were developed in the 1960's by Ann Baker; a breeder in Riverside California. The origin of the Ragdoll breed consisted almost entirely of free-roaming cats. Ann bred Josephine, a domestic longhaired white female that was found running loose in her neighbourhood, to other cats she owned or found. The offspring of this female had unique temperament traits that were very endearing. By selecting individuals with the look, temperament and criteria she wanted for her breeding program, she created the Ragdoll breed.
Phantom FG1, affectionately known as 'Black Mike' due to the types's unique paint scheme. It's paint scheme comes from it's role as display aircraft for 111(F) Squadron, Royal Air Force.
The aircraft is seen here at RAF Cosford, where is has been moved to form part of the RAF100 Static Exhibition at the RAF Cosford Air Show 2018. (www.cosfordairshow.co.uk).
Affectionately called by the Italians as the typewriter, the Altare della Patria, also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II ("National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II"), is a monument built in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. Was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885; sculpture for it was parceled out to established sculptors all over Italy, such as Leonardo Bistolfiand Angelo Zanelli. It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1925.
