African leopards (Panthera pardus pardus) are one of the two big cats that inhabit the continent of Africa, along with the lion. The cheetah is also sometimes included in the big cat family due to their size, but it is technically not a big cat as it cannot roar.
The leopard has an exceptional ability to adapt to changes in prey availability, and has a very broad diet. Small prey are taken where large ungulates are less common. The known prey of leopards ranges from dung beetles to adult elands, which can reach 900 kg (2,000 lb). In sub-Saharan Africa, at least 92 prey species have been documented in leopard scat including rodents, birds, small and large antelopes, hyraxes and hares, and arthropods. They generally focus their hunting activity on locally abundant medium-sized ungulates in the 20 to 80 kg (44 to 176 lb) range, while opportunistically taking other prey. Average intervals between ungulate kills range from seven to twelve days.
The beautiful Kaboso, female Leopard of Double Cross area was elusive as usual but we did manage to sight her finally early in the morning, coming out of the bushes going towards her resting place. Photographed on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
Mount Albion Conservation Area, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I have always loved the colours that happen to this field in late summer, and have taken many photos in this same location. Development has overtaken this area. To the left and right of this image is now industrial land.
The crew of 6G54 undergo a crew change to ensure the correct driver is available on the correct route. 66783 making its way from Toton to Northenden Junction with a load of finishing ballast briefly pauses for a driver with Hope Valley knowledge to take over.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

So...yeah, I changed this background too, but I took some pictures with the old one (In case you guys see a contranst between the old one and the new one😋😋😋)

P.s. Tori and Newt are dating.
Storytime:
-Tori: Newt should be here by now, right?
-Clawdeen: Is he my boyfriend now?
-[...] Good point. *starts to FaceTime him* Newt, where are you?
-Newt: I'm... you know... here...
-Are you lost again?😯😯
-WHAT?! No, I'm not. I'm.. here

-Gosh, I love your accent.*Off the phone* GUYS, NEWT IS LOST AGAIN!
-Clawdeen: HA, what a nerd.
-Newt: I AM NOT BLOODY LOST!!😠ðŸ˜
Icebat and Ox hung on every minute of Barack's acceptance speech. We all agreed that we want to live in his beautiful dream of America.
I want it to be real.
Tho winds of progress howl and whine in his ears and waves of doubt crash over his procumbent form, he holds fast to his idyllic vision.
A little bit of everything in this consist pulling a train past Tower B12. The new connection from the WC to the CP was under construction and the southern most track has been removed.

At the onset of spring the kestrels have switched back their diets to caterpillar and other insects in the ground - easier picking than the voles they were after in the winter months. Downsview Park, Ontario
As is now the case in many parts of the world it is becoming increasingly common to refer to landmarks by the name used by the earliest settlers. We have seen this only recently in Australia with Ayers Rock being referred to as Uluru or in the U.S Mt Mckinley's name changed to Denali. Fitz Roy is gradually becoming more widely known as Cerro Chalten. The word 'Chalten' can loosely be translated as 'smoking mountain' which was a term used by the indigenous Ahònikenk. It was long assumed that this mountain was an active volcano.
Another tid bit of information; the sharks tooth shaped peak between Poincenot and Fitz Roy (the one in shadow) is commonly know as Aguja de la Silla, it in fact received a second name when it was christened by the 1952 French Fitz Roy expedition. Half jokingly they called it Pointe du Cinéaste (filmmaker’s point) for its striking appearance and unique location, and because they could foresee that the expedition’s film maker Georges Strouvé would have wished to sit on its very top to make the film of his life.
A change was called for as I think you might have been getting a tad bored with my day trip out.
This was taken the other night as a result of trying a new contouring product and eye shadow pallet.
here you see me modelling my play suit thing. It doesn't look great when I stand up but it nice for relaxing in do those little jobs around the house.
I will show a full length photo.

Labourers working on a resort construction project,
take a break and head towards their base.. situated on the neighboring island,
where food and lodging is arranged.
Recently, the Labour Ministry reluctantly announced the figures of 'legal' immigrant workers in Maldives at around 75k. Not big.. they must have emphasized, when considering the amount of projects currently underway.
But it is very big, when compared to the local population, currently at around 350k.
That is roughly 1:4 ratio of foreigner to every Maldivian citizen. Young and old included.
In some local village Islands which are in close proximity to construction sites, the figure escalate to alarming levels, which also lead to much tension between groups and hence lead to many unwanted social problems.
There are approximately, 30 newly leased resorts, 11 airports and over 60 harbour dredging projects.. in addition to the numerous building construction projects underway (or about to begin) in the Capital City and in the islands.
If this is not big, then big is certainly on the way shortly.
The Government is taking steps to develop three mega cities in the following zones.. Gulhi Falhu, Bodu Mohoraa and Ihavandhippolhu.
Sooner or later, all of us feel the need of being in a wind of change and that's Polaris feeling at the moment. Her time here is over and she's ready to go.
So, she is been singing softly to herself this lovely song all the morning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJnpSYCiMc
--ooOOoo--
Tarde o temprano, todos nosotros sentimos la necesidad de un cambio de aires y Polaris está justo en ese momento. Su tiempo termina y está lista para dar un nuevo aire a su vida.
Quizás por eso, lleva toda la mañana canturreando esta canción: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJnpSYCiMc
The wind never stops blowing on this spot. It is shaping the landscape and everything around it, including ourselves..

Just like autumn leaves this is ripening sorghum changing colour , when it is fully ripe it goes a rusty brown colour . This is a seven shot pano .
This photo shows the climate changes taking place: I shoot this little grebe at the lakes of Colbricon, in the heart of the Dolomites, in August, at an altitude of 1927 meters, where it had nested (the couple had 2 chicks). Usually little grebes do not nest above 500 meters, and in any case in 50 years that I frequent the area I had never seen one. In the same period I saw a couple of grey herons at the Calaita lake, at over 1600 meters above sea level: even in this case I had never seen herons in the area.
Apparently the higher temperatures, especially at night, and the frequent thermal inversion are changing the habits of the fauna...
