The Egyptian Goose is not really a goose, but is actually a Shelduck. It is a cross between a goose and a duck. It has many duck-like characteristics, but it also has some external goose-like traits. It is the most widespread of all the African waterfowl. These old-world shelducks were domesticated by the ancient Egyptians, who considered them to be sacred. The Romans and the Greeks also kept Egyptian Geese in domestic flocks.
Egyptian Geese are mainly found south of the Sahara in Africa, along the Nile River Valley, and in southern Israel. They were introduced into England in the 1700’s, and some feral birds can be found in the United States. They are usually found inland, close to wet areas, and can sometimes be found on the open plains.
The Egyptian Geese are terrestrial; they spend a lot of time ashore. They feed both day and night sometimes far from the water. They are good swimmers and divers. They mainly eat seeds, leaves, grass, berries, and herbs. They also eat locusts, worms, insects, and small animals.
Egyptian Geese stay in small flocks of family units for the majority of the year, and pair up only during breeding. They usually walk away from danger, seldom flying unless they are surprised. Their flight looks heavy and goose-like, with slow wing-beats. They may fly together in an irregular V-shape formation or in a long line.
Egyptian Geese are sexually mature at two years. It is believed they mate for life. They can breed year around, but usually breed in the spring or at the end of a dry season. They have a noisy courtship with much honking, feather displays, and neck stretching. Pairs nest alone and are excellent parents. They build their nests in a variety of locations including: trees, ledges, on buildings, on the ground, in burrows, and on cliffs. They also use a variety of nesting materials, but the nests are always lined with soft, downy feathers. The female lays 5-8 eggs which are incubated for 28 days. If the nest is built up high, the parents will call to the chicks from down below, until the chicks jump to the ground. The young chicks are reared by both parents. They fly at 11 weeks, but remain with the parents for more several weeks.

This is Tito, mother of Natito, with one of her very shy, five month old cubs. What a privilege to be able to see both mother and daughter in the same general area at a time when they both had a pair of cubs. It's always good to see a leopard, but to see one with a cub is a bit special. To see one with two cubs is extra special, but to see two, like this, each with two cubs is a very rare experience indeed.

This image has of late, once posted to the group "Explore", caused a couple of people from that group to accuse me of expressing a "left wing attitude of hate and violence".
Just to be clear, this image is not intended to express a political point of either major party. It speaks to the scientific fact that the loss of healthcare insurance being proposed by the current administration is going to cause a lot of people to die.
This image is metaphorical and symbolic. Not literal.
This, in essence, is a nonpartisan image. It means to speak to all Americans who are concerned with their health care be they Republican or Democrat.
Mother care also includes making the kids independant, the kids wanted to drink, but the response: go away, your teeth are too sharp by now.
Why Roll? Cricket pitches need to be not only true and safe to prevent injury to players, but must also provide a surface that delivers an appropriate level of bounce, pace and consistency over a period of several days or hours of use.
During the winter months the soil profile soaks up the winter rains and fills the pore spaces within the profile. As this happens the clay soil swells.
As we enter spring, the grass growth picks up, the roots start to pull the moisture out of the profile. The days get longer, increasing soil and air temperatures driven by sunshine help to dry the surface of the profile and pulls the moisture out of the profile, thus shrinking the clay profile leaving empty spaces, say like an Aero bar of chocolate. These spaces need to be closed down to create the solid block needed to create the consistent pace and bounce that is desire to play cricket.
OK, how about 30 days of photos taken from my bed?
This is Lola, barely able to reach the top, checking on me. My bed is one of the only places the dogs aren't allowed.
Isn't a merry-go-round such a powerful image for innocence and childhood? Summertime for me is filled with memories of carnivals, amusement parks and carousels. When I was younger I would opt for the car you could spin in and we would make ourselves so dizzy just spinning and spinning. What seat did you like to take on the carousel?

Intensive Care
A birth. So many doctors in the room over by the newborn baby, only one finishing with the mother. The father, over by the baby, with a terrible look on his face.
The mother is taken to her room. So tired from the long ordeal and drugs, yet confused as to why the baby is not in the room with her, as is the usual custom now.
She is alone, as if everyone has forgotten about her. She calls the nurse to see what is happening and is told that they do not have any information nor do they know where her husband is.
And then the doctor comes in, grim, to tell her two babies had died in intensive care so things were a bit hectic at the moment. He also told her that her baby was also sick and in intensive care. That was where her husband was, with the then unnamed baby. They would try to get information to her soon, but with the other deaths, it was difficult right now.
The mother cried, only heard the word kidney. The doctor gave her a shot and put her to sleep. ©Teag Mcgillivary
Mural "Caring Touch" by Dutch artists duo Studio Giftig at Bd John Fitzgerald Kennedy 2, on the facade of the city's hospital structure parking in Mons, Belgium.
Studio Giftig is made up of the Dutch artist duo Niels van Swaemen and Kaspar van Leek.
The falling Lisianthus flowers refer to the theatrical effect of applause or cheering. Lisanthus symbolises appreciation and gratitude. The people depicted are an experienced nurse and a doctor, who together depict the impact, dedication and human side of working in healthcare. The arrow points to the left, as in the past an arrow pointing to the left referred to in symbolic/spiritual context to ward off evil.
