The largest cats in the World! This female is very large, but the males are quite a bit larger, weighing up to 450 kilos with their bodies measuring up to 3.5 meters in length - that's about 12 feet, not counting the tail! They live in northern Asia, and are endangered. Reportedly less than 500 exist in the wild. This impressive animal was photographed in its enclosure in the Greater Vancouver Zoo.
When I see lying trees waitin' to be planted something happens in a corner of my mind. Those black roots' containers are the short circuit, the sparkles of a mental process difficult to explain, with a central question: why do we crucify ourselves? Why to move a tree is more simple than to move a human being?

The eyes of the Koh Tao caecilian are minute, without lids, and are buried below the skin. Its sensory tentacle lies between the eye and nostril on each side of the body. Along the length of the body there are about 360 cutaneous ring-like folds. The body coloration is brownish-black above, with a yellow, longitudinal band on each side running down the length of the body.
The larvae are completely aquatic and have a short tail with a thin laterally compressed fin that extends from the body of the tail dorsally; it curves ventrally around the tip of the tail. The larvae have what appears to be a gill slit, called the gill spiraculum--a small chamber that encompasses the area where three gills are attached. There is a lateral line on both sides of the head and neck that serves as a sense organ for water movements.
Widespread through southeast Asia, including south and western Yunnan, central and southern Guangdong west through Guangxi to western Yunnan in southern China, and into montane northern Vietnam, Laos, northern and eastern Thailand. Presumed to be found in adjacent northeastern and peninsular Myanmar and southeastern Cambodia, including Koh Tao Island and throughout mainland Thailand. Exactly distributional limits are not known.
This species has an aquatic larval stage and a terrestrial adult phase. The adults inhabit loose soil along small mountain streams with abundant plant cover, also seen along moist shores beside pools or rice-fields. During April to May, females deposit about 30 eggs in a depression they dig close to water. Soon after hatching, the larvae make their way into the water where they feed on algae or plankton. Later in their development, they feed on aquatic invertebrates. Metamorphosis is completed at a total length of 180 mm. In captivity adults feed exclusively on earthworms.
Populations appear to be at high risk as they have declined rather quickly because of human activities including cultivation of the land, destruction of forest, and pollution, but there is little published data available to support these hypotheses.

Beneath the Kansas City skyline, a deuce of ex-Burlington Northern EMDs crawl toward Olive St up the North Main with a lengthy T KCS1 10R on the drawbars. This is a transfer job that moves tonnage from BNSF's Argentine Yard across the border to Kansas City Southern's Knoche Yard and return. Aside from a couple small engine modifications, today's train looks like something straight out of the 90s with this classic green & white SD40-2/SD60M combo. The lead locomotive, BNSF 1792 (BN 7048), and trailer, BNSF 1455 (BN 9278), were built back in March 1978 and February 1991, respectively; Once the pride of Burlington Northern's mainline fleet, these two now live out their final years of service held captive in the greater Kansas City area on trains just like these. This crew would expire on hours upon arrival at Knoche and wouldn't make the return trip back toward the BNSF until early the next morning.
A Norfolk Southern SD80MAC leads CP 939/NS 205 west on the Delaware & Hudson below a modern stainless signal bridge with original GRS searchlight heads.
In the last few months, it seems as if the SD80MACs are not exclusively in captive coal service in the Altoona/Johnstown area. It's a welcome change of scenery to catch this unexpected leader.

Saw this baby Black Tip in an aquarium in the local mall. Although i don't agree with it, the shark was moving around so gracefully i had to take a picture of it.
Cautiverio
Por cuanto tiempo te harás esperar a ti mismo por hacer lo que amas. Por cuanto tiempo esperarás por el momento correcto para decidir empezar. Cuanto más te encerrarás en tu burbuja de ideas y no explorarás la belleza de la realidad que es la vida. El tiempo sigue corriendo, y ese momento que esperamos para iniciar, ese momento que parece el preciso puede que nunca llegue, porque suele pasar, que no hay momento preciso, solo existen los momentos, y la decisión de iniciar un nuevo ciclo no será perfecto.
Nuestra mente nos juega trucos, y solemos caer fácilmente. Nos creamos un muro de ideas que nos restringen nuestros atardeceres, y solo queremos empezar cuando ya es muy tarde. ¿Tomar acción o quedarme esperando por el momento justo? Qué hacer...
Captivity
How long do you expect yourself to do what you love. How long will you wait for the right time to decide to start. The more you restring yourself in your bubble of ideas and do not explore the beauty of reality that is life. The clock is ticking, and then we hope to start, then it seems the right may never arrive, because as usual, there is no moment, there are only moments, and the decision to start a new cycle will not be perfect .
Our mind plays tricks, and we tend to easily fall. We created a wall of ideas that we restrict our sunsets, and just want to start when it's too late. Take action or stay waiting for the right time? What to do..
This is a wider view of the same whooping crane. At Christina's suggestion I have brightened it, and I much prefer the lighter take.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
