As the sun began to rise, this mated Great Blue Heron pair began an elaborate "dance". Each heron took turns puffing out their feathers, stretching their necks high and low, and spreading their wings. This intimate interaction was incredible to witness.

Known affectionately as the "longest bar in the world," the Düsseldorf Altstadt is a square kilometer of vibrant history and social energy. Within its narrow, cobblestoned streets, you’ll find over 250 pubs, restaurants, and breweries, many of which serve the city's signature Altbier - a dark, top-fermented lager. The atmosphere is a unique blend of Rhenish conviviality and architectural charm, where centuries-old buildings house lively crowds that spill out onto the pavement, regardless of the season.
Beyond the nightlife, the Altstadt serves as the cultural soul of the city. It is home to landmarks like the Schlossturm (Palace Tower) on the Burgplatz and the twisted spire of the St. Lambertus Basilica. Just a few steps away from the bustling bars, the district opens up to the Rhine Embankment Promenade, offering one of Germany’s most scenic riverfront walks. Whether you’re visiting for a quiet afternoon of museum-hopping or a high-energy night out, the Altstadt perfectly captures Düsseldorf's "work hard, play hard" spirit.
Affectionately called “Columbus Eclectic,” the combined architectural elements of Greek Revival, Gothic and Italianate come together to form a most welcoming style. Beautiful woodwork, mirrored glass doorknobs, a three story cupola and even original bedroom closets add to its allure. Mr. & Mrs. Dick Leike / National Register
Sometimes called a Bull-Pug, the Miniature Bulldog is a cross between an English Bulldog and a Pug, Puggle, or French Bulldog to create a smaller size bulldog that will be perfect for your family. English Bulldogs were bred to bait, guard, and control bulls while Pugs have been companions to royals since about 1600 BC. The combination naturally features the best qualities of the two, creating a small, affectionate pup who gets along well with people and doesn't require a large time commitment. They are peaceful and get along well with animals and people.

A lively mix of two of England's storied working Terriers, the Jack Russell and the Yorkshire, the Yorkie Russell is a small, energetic dog with a big personality. They are sweet, affectionate dogs with a playful attitude and are constantly seeking attention from their owners. Even maxing out at only 15 inches tall, these pint-sized pooches have no reservations when it comes to exploration, as their Terrier-bred nature means they are often brave and inquisitive, which can also get them into trouble.
This looked like a family hanging out together. Observing the wild mustangs was such an amazing event, I appreciate them much more now. I hope they can continue to live and be free out in the wild west. (they have been through a lot, check out all the marks and scars on their bodies and legs)
We have affectionately named this moose, "Bruce the Moose." He has visited our yard for four years in a row now, the first two with his mother. We are not sure where he goes when he is gone, but he will come back on occasion and is very comfortable with my wife and I. (not so much with our dog) While taking his photos, he will walk towards us, ears forward, not pinned back. We refuse to try and touch him or feed him because we do not want him to associate humans as kind individuals.
He does me a favor by eating the young willows, if he only knew that I would pay him for his services!
We both hope Bruce will visit us for many years. However, moose are hunted each fall and the chances of a moose this close to houses makes his chances of living a long life very low. I hope he beats the odds.

This photo was taken at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It's the first zoo I've been to where they allow you to pet and feed the giraffes. There is a boardwalk surrounding their habitat which is at the perfect hight to allow them to put their heads over the railing to grab food, clothes, cameras, etc.
My small dog Millie.
The name “Shih Tzu” means little lion, but there's nothing fierce about this dog breed. This pooch is a lover, not a hunter. Bred solely to be companions, Shih Tzus are affectionate, happy, outgoing house dogs who love nothing more than to follow their people from room to room.
Shih Tzu are classified in the toy group in most countries, with a height of eight to 11 inches and weight of nine to 16 pounds (four to seven kilograms).
As with most toy breeds, shih tzu are quick to mature, reaching adult size by about 10 months.
The shih tzu is often slightly longer than tall, with a sturdy body and a good-sized head. The muzzle is quite short, with an undershot bite. The head is rounded and the eyes are quite prominent. The tail is carried gaily curled up over the back. The gait is long and swift for such a small dog.
The shih tzu is covered with luxuriant, long, straight hair. This double coat does require a fair amount of upkeep, especially if left long on these short dogs so that it sweeps the ground. Any color is acceptable for the coat, but dark pigment is preferred around the eyes and on the nose. Shih tzu tend to be fairly hardy little dogs and often live to 14 or 15 years of age.
Personality:
Shih tzu are renowned for their perky, happy temperaments. They are lively and friendly. Shih tzu tend to get along well with people of all ages and with other dogs as well as other pets of different species. Rarely you will find a snippy shih tzu, but most are very sweet.
With their short muzzles, shih tzu are not big chewers, but they do enjoy digging and some indulge in nuisance barking. They have a big desire to be with people, whether that is sitting on your lap or taking a hike through the park.
Living With:
Shih Tzu are very easy to keep and quickly become obese if given too many treats. They do not need or want a mile hike every day, but they do enjoy walks and should be kept fit. Shih tzu do compete in obedience and agility with some success. Beware of exercising a shih tzu in hot, humid weather with the short muzzle, the breed is prone to heat stroke.
Hair is a four-letter word when it comes to the shih tzu. Most pet owners resort to a short year-round body clip, which looks quite nice and is very easy to care for. If you wish to keep the long flowing coat, you must be prepared for some serious grooming time. These dogs require weekly baths with oiling of the coat to help keep matting down and daily grooming to keep any foreign objects from catching in the coat. Dogs with the correct texture of coat do not mat nearly as much as those with a soft coat.
The shih tzu tends to require a large amount of personal attention each day. They thrive on human company and can easily become spoiled. They enjoy training and learning tricks, making them the center of attention. Shih tzu should be socialized to children early on, but they enjoy people of all ages. Do not count on your shih tzu to guard the house; he would probably welcome a burglar with open paws.
History:
The shih tzu originated in Tibet, probably back around the 7th century, and they may have simply been the smallest of the Lhasa Apsos there. Given as gifts to the Chinese emperors, the breed developed into the dog we recognize today. Fanciers speculate about crosses with Pekingese to shorten the face as well as selection for the smaller Lhasa-type dogs. The name shih tzu means "lion dog" in Chinese, which further confuses the ancestry because lion dog usually denotes the Pekingese.
The Chinese royalty kept and bred shih tzu and, when the British arrived, the breed made its way to England and then on to the United States. Unfortunately, the Communist takeover in China wiped out most of the native stock.
No one disputes that these charming little dogs were intended as companion dogs. Their primary function right from the start appears to be acting as delightful company.

The Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) is a member of the family Bombycillidae or waxwing family of passerine birds. It breeds in open wooded areas in North America, principally southern Canada and the northern United States.
Cedar waxwings are approximately 6–7 in (15–18 cm) long and weigh roughly 30 grams. They are smaller and more brown than their close relative, the Bohemian Waxwing (which breeds farther to the north and west).
These birds' most prominent feature is a small cluster of bright red feathers on the wings, a feature they share with the Bohemian Waxwing (but not the Japanese Waxwing). The tail is typically yellow or orange depending on diet. Birds that have fed on berries of introduced Eurasian honeysuckles while growing tail feathers will have darker orange-tipped tail-feathers. Adults have a pale yellow belly. Immature birds are streaked on the throat and flanks, and often do not have the black mask of the adults.
During courtship the male and female will sit together and pass small objects back and forth, such as flower petals or an insect. Mating pairs will sometimes rub their beaks together affectionately.
The flight of waxwings is strong and direct, and the movement of the flock in flight resembles that of a flock of small pale European Starlings.

The Puginese is a mixed breed dog a cross between the Pug and Pekingese dog breeds. Affectionate, sensitive, and independent, these pups inherited some of the best traits from both of their parents. Puginese dogs go by a few different names, including Pekeapug and Pugapeke.

Elegant. Proud. Clever. The Poodle is an impressive dog, as the many best-in-show winners from this dog breed can attest. But behind the blue ribbons, impressive hairdos, and regal attitude, you’ll find an affectionate family dog with an ancient history and many talents. Intelligent, loving, loyal, and mischievous are four words Poodle enthusiasts commonly use to describe the breed's personality.
All my animals are very affectionate but Squirty just goes beyond affectionate. He is the most 'in ya face' kinda cat i have ever owned and I mean that literally.
As a small kitten he was obsessed with my face and still is, he is getting better but at about 4am every morning he will lay on my face, around my neck, put his nose on my mouth anything to be really, really close to me.
If he get's tired and I am home in the middle of the day he will find me and paw at my face and give me head rubs until he is just too tired to stay awake any longer.
He is so darn cute and loveable. I have to say his affection has helped the hurt of losing Beaker.

"The Sydney Harbour Bridge, also affectionately known as the 'Coathanger', was opened on March 19th 1932 by Premier Jack Lang, after six years of construction. Made of steel the bridge contains 6 million hand driven rivets. The surface area that requires painting is equal to about the surface area of 60 sports fields. The Bridge has huge hinges to absorb the expansion caused by the hot Sydney sun. You will see them on either side of the bridge at the footings of the Pylons." ( From www.sydneyharbourbridge.info/ )
