Had to snap these two who were on their way back from Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, having won big at one of the stalls :-) Settings all wrong on the camera but I liked her smile enough to post it. He smiled in the next shot but it was even blurrier..
Soft and cuddly
I never normally shoot at f2.8 or 50mm but I love having to option to do so though

Nope, although their name "teddy bear cholla" might sound inviting, best not to snuggle with these sharp Sonoran succulents, On a related note, did have a "run in" with one of these fellows one time. Needless to say, I'm a little more cautious now. : flic.kr/p/2nWjv4p .
Look at those eyes!
There were young fur seals of varying ages at all the sites where we found them. This one was in the middle of the age range. Some looked a week or two old and others a few weeks older that the one posted here.
The fur and elephant seal populations in this region have been hit hard by avian influenza. It has jumped from birds to these mammals. And, as you likely have heard, cows in North America have been infected in multiple regions, as have some people.
Evidence of the disease was particularly noticeable in the younger seals, but no age was being spared. We saw a fair number of dead animals, some even floating out at sea. Birds that will eat carrion, like the giant petrel, skuas, and gulls, would feed on the carcasses.
I sure hope the affected mammals, and the various bird species, in the sub-polar region develop immunity to the active strain(s) soon.
That Make You Say Awww !

So etwa muß der Lokführer die Dömitzer Eisenbahnbrücke empfunden haben / That must have been the locomotive driver's perspective while passing the Dömitz railway bridge
Kudzu, the smallest of seven goats at Belmont Audubon Habitat, is also the sweetest. She's watching me and waiting for pats and/or brushing. I did give her a good brushing, with the wide-bristled human hairbrush. Goats find it very stimulating.
I captured this on Sunday after the snow storm
This Belgian shepard was very friendly, just like a big cuddly bear
Sorry to those who don't like creepy crawlies... though you won't be reading this as your eyes will be closed by now...!
The Weta
The weta is an amazing insect, found not just in New Zealand but also in South Africa, Australia, and South America.
Weta is strictly a New Zealand name that derives from the Maori name of wetapunga that was given to the giant weta. Wetapunga translates roughly to "God of ugly things".
They are nocturnal and flightless. Different species have different diets. Most weta eat other invertebrates but one group of weta endemic to New Zealand (the tree and giant weta) have evolved to eat mostly leaves, flowers and fruit.
Weta may have survived virtually unchanged since the Mesozoic era, although there is no fossil evidence of this. In this respect, they can be compared with the tuatara.
My but did you notice those claws .. all the better to climb gum trees with . Kenny Koala taking it easy.

Flickr Friday: Daily Bread
In French, "daily bread" has a slightly different meaning from English. For us, it means something that a person does everyday or goes through everyday. I have been stuck in bed for a week now after ankle surgery, and my little Pixie, although worried (and scared by all the nurses and strangers invading his territory), is being very patient and quiet. So, these days, my daily bread is a lot of napping together and cuddling with the cutest little cat.

J’adore ce temps de l’année quand les petits sortent du nid. Il a l'air bien ce petit viréo avec son nouveau plumage tout doux.
I love this time of year when the little ones emerge from the nest. This one looks so cuddly in those soft new feathers.
You better shut up! Orcs don't wanna sleep alone, too!

This is one of the rare outdoor pictures that needed as much pampering as my indoor pictures. Finding a nice, mossy spot was one thing, finding one with enough light on dull, grey days to take a picture, the tough part. This is the third trial, even with a hint of sunlight.
