3/4 This behavior is the way miniature highland cows play. As a volunteer, standing at the same fence I showed you yesterday, I was reassuring younger children that the cows were not trying to hurt each other; they were wrestling the way people do.
Some of the older kids were cheering for the bovines. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" I often think "lower" life forms can be more civilized than humans.
Missed shot! Myrmarachne sp. (ant mimicry). This genus of jumping spiders imitate ants in behavior and movements. Photos of the back in the comments.
The secret behaviors of the timber wolves revealed in this photograph ascribe almost human attributes within the realm of affection and offerings of familial respect. We see activity pictured that normally stays well hidden from the human eye. It touches our heart and leaves us feeling as though a pet has just wandered through our mind leaving a lasting impression as less than fearless creature, but a caring and giving huggable friend. Yet their complexities we know exist.

So close were they to her, kissing sweet at first, frantically later, that she would almost feel she was part of the scene more than she would have ever wanted...

This digital photomontage features Sky, an adventurer and content creator who climbs the rugged cliffs of Karoulia on Mount Athos—an area historically inhabited by hermit monks since the 8th century. The caves were sacred spaces of solitude, inhabited by ascetics who traded handcrafted items for meager supplies and relied on collected rainwater for survival.
In this fictional narrative, Sky defies Mount Athos’s gender ban and squeezes herself into one of these remote caves, hoping to document her journey for social media. Inside, she finds the skeletal remains of a monk and ancient pottery. Though unaware of the legal consequences of disturbing such sites, her intent is not theft, but exposure—a digital relic-hunt that toes the line between curiosity and transgression. This piece explores the ethical tension between cultural preservation and the modern urge to document, conquer, and share.

Mannen en de afmeting van gevangen vissen: Het typische trofee-gedrag is waarschijnlijk nog een overblijfsel uit de oertijd, toen de man nog jager/verzamelaar was.

Men and the size of the fish they caught: This typical 'trophy behavior' of men is probably a relic from primative times, when he was still a collector / hunter.
The fish out of water has its own thoughts on this.

***************************
About a year ago, I created Flickr album for photos that I had started taking with my iPhone5s; and now I’m creating a new Flickr album for photos that I’ve begun taking with myiPhone6, which just arrived from T-Mobile this morning.
In last year’s album, I wrote, "Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.
"After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real” camera in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.
"But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.
"Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.
"And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.
"With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.
"Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...
"I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.
*****************************************************************************
Okay, so now it’s September of 2014, and I’ve got the iPhone 6. They say that the camera is better, and that the internal camera-related hardware/firmware/software is better, too. Obviously, I’ve got the newer iOS, too, and even on the “old” phones, it now supports time-lapse videos along with everything else.
I’ve still got my pocket camera (an amazing little Sony ERX-100 Mark III), and two larger cameras (Sony RX-10, and Sony A7), but I have a feeling that I won’t even be taking them out of the camera bag when I’m out on the street for ordinary day-to-day walking around.
That will depend, obviously, on what kind of photos and videos the iPhone6 is actually capable of taking … so I’m going to try to use it every day, and see what the results look like …
Like I said last year, “stay tuned…"
I don't see Red-tailed Hawks too often around south Florida so it's always fun to spot them around NYC where they seem more common....even nesting on the buildings in Manhattan. I'm not sure if this is Pale Male, the iconic hawk with many articles, books and documentaries written about him or this is one of his offspring.
I first saw this hawk chasing a pigeon as it swooped low over my head, missing its catch. I decided to try to follow it around the Ramble in Central Park, seeing it miss several more targets. My spotters were the loud Blue Jays who would begin screaming each time it landed, but there wasn't always a path that led to that location! I finally got lucky and a path took me right under the hawk where I guess it gave up on fresh prey and settled for a rather stiff, dry pigeon that it had stashed in the crook of a tall tree. It tugged the pigeon jerky out and dragged it up a branch and flew off out of the park.

This was only my third visit to this colony this year, and I hoped to see the new crop of chicks is large gatherings at the burrow entrances. They tend to gather in groups as soon as they learn to fly. I did see a few such groups but they were small (3 chicks max) so I probably arrive too late in the season. Most of the Owls were now on their own like this guy. This is likely a bird from this year's hatch... its chest is still mostly white.

Some dragonflies seem to never land... this is one of them. Most of my shots of this specie are flight photos. When I observed this guy (It's a male) to be hovering a lot in a selected close area, I just positioned myself and waited; the auto functions of the camera did the rest. The markings on the thorax and abdomen are diagnostic.

I took this picture while on a photo tour led by Jeff Munoz of Rainforest Photo Tours (rainforestphototours.com).
This photo and the one that follows form a set. The first photo shows (center left) a nest the little fuzz-ball of a wren has built high above the street. Carolina Wrens like to build nests in all sorts of man-made objects from hubcaps to cardboard boxes to watering cans to this, a tangle of electrical and telephonic wires under a big aluminum drum.
Thank you for coming. Your visit is much appreciated.
Knowing better, TRAINUT, KELEKA and myself were out in rural Dekalb County shooting long exposures of lightning. Here we have a 30 second exposure and a huge flashover of lightning that lit up the immediate area like a strobe. Earlier, one large curtain of lightning and/or a nearby ground strike set off these crossing gates. Of course the lesson was not learned. TRAINUT was off frame, on the rails photographing while light painting. After two close strikes that raised the hair on my skin after this shot, we were out of there! ... or was it the rain that caused us to leave!
