Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.

Can't say that monkeys trained & chained to perform for tourists was one of the highlights of our Thailand trip.
A rare capture of this (West Country native) species, caught unawares. It is normally very difficult to capture this type of human as they tend to exhibit a typical aversion to the camera lens, often with behaviours of self consciousness and random facial expressions.
Mais uma, de há dois anos e meio neste caso.
Another one, taken two and half years ago in this case.

His tired gaze -from passing endless bars- has turned into a vacant stare which nothing holds. To him there seem to be a thousand bars, and out beyond these bars exists no world.
His supple gait, the smoothness of strong strides that gently turn in ever smaller circles perform a dance of strength, centered deep within a will, stunned, but untamed, indomitable.
But sometimes the curtains of his eyelids part, the pupils of his eyes dilate as images of past encounters enter while through his limbs a tension strains in silence only to cease to be, to die within his heart.

This sweet baby jaguar cub was born to parents that had been rescued after having been hurt. The Awesome man that cared and nursed the parents back to health was amazed when he realized that they were going to be parents. This is the little cub that was born in captivity !! Amazing to see and oh oh so beautiful !! We had just returned from the Pantanal, Brazil where we saw many jaguars in the wild and to see this young cub was a special very special moment. Love at first sight !! Costa Rica is rich with so many different adventures !!!!!!!
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day !!

The violaceous euphonia (Euphonia violacea) is a small passerine bird in the true finch family found in northeastern and eastern South America.It occurs in forests, second growth and plantations of cocoa and citrus fruit. The male has glossy blue-black upperparts and a deep golden yellow forehead and underparts. The female and immature are olive green above and greenish yellow below.
These are social birds which eat mainly small fruit and only rarely take insects. The violaceous euphonia’s song is a varied mix of musical notes, squeaks, chattering and imitation. [Adapted from Wikipedia]

Lanner falcons are medium-sized birds of prey. They resemble Saker falcons but the adult Lanner falcon has a more reddish head. In the wild they breed in Africa, southeast Europe and Asia. The bird in this shot belongs to the falconry of a local wildlife park and was bred in captivity.
This photo presents a sad picture. There are birds in the cage at the Mumbai Zoo and there are free birds that come and visit them and sit on a tree next to the cage. may be due to curosity or just to share the pain of caged birds.
Nina the barn owl from the Raptor Trust. Of course she's in captivity or I wouldn't have gotten this close. =)

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

this building in the makati cbd in the philippines had a very clear reflection of the opposite street where another building was being built.

I just loved this monkey...aka the CORONA FUNKY MONKEY! He seemed like a very happy monkey but for some reason, this photo makes me feel sad. :(
“So I'd been captured? So I was starving?
Did that mean I had to shrivel up and die?
I could still slither. I could still hiss". - Patrick Jennings
Deep down , we are all captives of our minds , of things that surrounds us , of people around us . All these makes us who we are , some can break free and some can't . But even in all these captivity , one can still imagine . One can still dream . Reality is an illusion , and this illusion makes life beautiful . We might see ourselves to be free but something will always captivate us . Something will always help us imagine , help us dream . It is hard to comprehend sometimes !
I don't know if my words made sense to you , call me crazy ! because to me they do :)

The photo is about a ice cream seller who is pushing his vehicle. And there are some vans kept captive with their wheels on the footpath beside the street.

It's my first entry on the new blog site and I'm glad to be able to take advantage of this occasion to wish all of my fellow Americans a Happy Independence Day on this 4th of July Weekend.

Thursday, 10 December 2020: our temperature just after noon is -4C (windchill -4C). Sunrise is at 8:29 am and sunset is at 4:29 pm. 'Winter' returned the night before last, after a number of beautifully mild days, bringing more snow and colder temperatures.
Seeing that our world was about to turn white again, I decided to make the most of the beautiful, mild weather on 7 December 2020. My plan was to drive SE of the city and call in at the Saskatoon Farm for a late breakfast. There are always photo opportunities to be found here, together with a warm welcome and smiling faces. One of my absolute favourite places to be.
This interesting place is maybe a 20-minute drive SE from the southern edge of Calgary. You can collect your own Saskatoon berries in season, look around their outside green houses, and their inside gift shop full of unusual things, and buy special baking, jams, teas, soups, pies, and so on. They also have a restaurant that offers great food.
Another reason for spending time away from home for a few hours was to keep me off my computer. A return to an extremely painful right shoulder, due to inflammation of the rotator cuff, is made even more painful when I type and keep clicking the mouse. This affects my whole arm, making it almost impossible to do everything, including things like putting on my winter layers. Oh well, I guess it balances out with my very painful left knee : ) For a few hours yesterday, I was reminded harshly that driving does not help things either. Still, so thankful that I am at least able to get out and take photos!
From the Farm, I drove a few familiar roads to see if there was a Snowy Owl anywhere to be seen. The answer to that was - no.
