Big brother to Yan and sister Smudge.
So friendly that all the neighbours know him. Some of them have had him follow them into their house and sleep on their beds!
Great meerkat impersonator, standing on his hind legs in greeting.
Formidable hunter. Soon to celebrate his 8th Birthday and still has random kitten like moments chasing his own tail and falling off the stairs

My first time seeing Big Ben since the five year renovation project, its great to see if with the scaffolding off. Its looks stunning. This image is a composite where I have replaced the sky with a sky of my own.

Big Ears the fox looks up at a helicopter. There were many helicopters flying low this past week, rattling the foundations of my house, and shattering what is left of my nerves. These are sad times. No child is born a racist, or born to hate. Our world needs more love, compassion and kindness. We have to stop hating and killing each other or we will all perish.
Big Ears the fox says, Being Kind is Always the Right Thing To Do!
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom

Found this pair of Wood Bison along the AlCan Highway years ago in northern BC.
I'm a big bison fan. They are my favorite critter in Yellowstone. I've been around them often, sometimes fairly close on the roads. But this bull and cow....look at his shoulders, chest and hump. Noticeably larger.
"Unregulated hunting in the 1800s nearly wiped them out, and by the middle of the 20th century some thought the animals were extinct. But then, in 1957, a small herd was found in a remote part of Alberta by the crew of a plane flying overhead. Since then, their numbers have rebounded to around 11,000 in Canada, as governmental organizations have helped breed and repatriate them to a few parts of their former range.
PS: some of you have noticed my lens was at 180. Yes, pretty near them. Was a lucky shot driving the AlCan, a herd was gathered along the highway. I just pulled over, dropped the window, said hi and click. Little risk.
However, they sadly hang near this high speed highway and some are killed each year from driver's not paying attention.
The wood bison differs from the plains bison, the other surviving North American subspecies/ecotype, in a number of important ways. Most notably, the wood bison is heavier, with large males weighing over 900 kilograms (2,000 lb), making it the largest terrestrial animal in North America. The highest point of the wood bison is well ahead of its front legs, while the plains bison's highest point is directly above the front legs. Wood bison also have larger horn cores, a darker and woollier pelage, and less hair on their forelegs and beard." Wikipedia
May they thrive and prosper.

The big church in Dordrecht is a fantastic find for anyone who is interested in religious buildings or medieval architecture. Alternatively known as Dordrecht Minster, the Great Church or the Church of Our Lady, this establishment is the largest church in the city. This church was ranked amongst the top 100 Dutch heritage sites on a list which was created by the department of Conservation in the early 1990s. It is noted for its Brabant Gothic style and its unfinished church tower.
The original plan was to construct an octagonal tower which would be over one hundred meters highs, however half way through the construction, it was noticed that the tower had begun to develop a significant lean. Like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the ground below the tower was too soft to support such a heavy structure, and the tower had begun to tilt. Because of the dangerous incline, the tower was never finished. During the 20th century, restoration work took place on the tower to ensure that the structure would remain safe for visitors. Despite the fact that it remained unfinished, the tower was still the tallest structure in Dordrecht for almost 500 years.
Der Name Big Ben (engl. Kurzform für „großer Benjamin“) bezeichnet die mit 13,5 t Gewicht schwerste der fünf Glocken des berühmten Uhrturms am Palace of Westminster in London. Der Glockenschlag von Big Ben gilt im Volksmund als The Voice of Britain (Die Stimme Britanniens).
Auch auf die Uhr oder den Uhrturm wird die Bezeichnung Big Ben häufig übertragen. Seit September 2012 heißt der Turm offiziell Elizabeth Tower. Die Umbenennung des ehemaligen Clock Tower erfolgte aus Anlass des diamantenen Thronjubiläums von Königin Elisabeth II. und wurde vom britischen Parlament gebilligt.
