@{-->-- ...thank you all very much my friends...:)))

This here is the only offical path at Porta da Piedade to get down to the water. There are a view very adventurous declines elsewhere along the cliff. For this time I wasn't brave enough to try one of them.

I found that place when I already was on my way back to the car. Because when I arrived in the dark, I didn't know where to go an decides spontaniously for the complete opposite direction. I was almost a little bit annoyed, that I didn't start here. Why, You will see tomorrow.

 

Dies ist der einzige offizielle Weg am Ponta da Piedade um nach unten ans Wasser zu kommen. Es gibt noch ein paar wenige sehr abenteuerliche Abstiege an anderen Stellen. An diese habe ich mich diesesmal jedoch nicht heran getraut.

Ich habe diese Stelle entdeckt, als ich schon auf dem Rückweg zum Auto war. Denn als ich hier im Dunkeln ankam wusste ich nicht, wo ich hin muss und so habe ich mich spontan für die komplett entgegengesetzte Richtung entschieden. Ich hab mich fast ein wenig geärgert, dass ich nicht hier begonnen habe. Warum, das seht Ihr morgen.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Part of a herd in South Dakota, just off I-29. The traffic, the long grass which is a haven for ticks (yuck), stumbling through a ditch, all worth it for this stunning horse.

A beautiful Lioness we spotted while on a 2023 photo safari in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. She stopped her search for prey just long enough to show me those eyes.

 

In the savannas of Africa, female lions play a crucial and dynamic role in their familial groups, shaping the social structure and bearing the responsibility for the pride’s survival. Contrary to some common misconceptions, lion prides operate within a matriarchal social structure, where females hold the key roles in decision-making and coordination.

 

Lionesses are the primary hunters within the pride. Their exceptional teamwork and strategic approach to hunting are essential for the pride’s survival and well-being. Together, they deploy strategic hunting techniques, such as coordinated flanking and ambushing, to outwit their prey. Their synchronized efforts increase the likelihood of a successful hunt to secure food for the entire pride.

 

Male lions are typically responsible for protecting their pride from other males. However, the females play a vital role in defending the pride’s territory against threats such as leopards, hyenas, neighboring prides, and occasionally other males. The survival of a pride often hinges on the lionesses’ ability to protect their territory.

 

The lionesses’ strong maternal instincts are at the foundation of the pride’s social bonds. As a group, they are responsible for raising and nurturing the cubs. They teach essential survival skills, including hunting techniques and social behaviors, which ensure the continuity of the pride’s legacy. The pride communicates through vocalizations and body language, fostering a strong sense of community. The bonds formed among females contribute to the overall success and stability of the group.

 

In the lion pride, females emerge as the unsung heroes, weaving together the threads of survival, protection, and legacy. Their role as huntresses, defenders, nurturers, and leaders is integral to the pride’s success.

I call this image "Brave Heart" to give credit to our Red-winged Blackbirds who don't hesitate to attack raptors much larger and more lethal than they are. They are confident in their aerial skills, and I've never seen one attacked back, so it seems well deserved. After harassing this Red-shouldered Hawk for a few minutes the hawk was finally convinced to find more affable surroundings.

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

You can be the outcast

Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up

 

Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do

And they settle 'neath your skin

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you

 

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

 

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

     

I was in a hurry, already late going out, but stopped to take this photo of Bella through the window. She chose to jump up onto the windowsill again to see what I was doing. It's a huge step forward for her that only started this week - until now she was too scared of traffic to go near the windows at the front of my home. Morning sunlight is reflected on the window & also lighting Bella's fur.

Happy Caturday!
