I was happy to get this photo of a Yellow-faced honeyeater feeding on a bottlebrush flower they have come to my area on their southern migration. They are quick birds and they don't stay still for long.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you!
Sunrise at Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint. The sun rising above the bluffs behind us illuminating just face rock in a golden hue.
Sometimes the doing itself becomes the big scene. Like in this case, when Poseidon was throwing the surge 20 m over the rocks.
Thanks for coming and have a wonderful evening!

On a partly cloudy late Spring day, with the high altitude winds chasing the clouds across the face of the sun, a pair of California bush sunflowers along Arrowhead Lake Road raise their own yellow faces to the fluctuating sunlight above.

Two Robins measuring each other up near a bird feeder. These territorial birds are quick to see off a rival.
No need to whisper each other words of love, you both understand each other without even breathing!
Two unbeliavable beauties lasting forever in my memory!

We wish to thank all the Flickers who took one moment for their several views and nice very appreciated comments. Thanks friends!
Well, sometimes we find on our African pictures comments from people who doubt about our African activity. This is a reasonable reaction, that's why we decided to post some clarification directly on the pictures for all those who can pass through here. Of course all comments are well accepted and we will be glad to answer to all of you. This is part of our work.

We thank all people who comment our shots with our big cats with these kind of notes:

What many people don't realize is that once fully grown up those lions go to the canned hunting industry

This information can be very useful for people who are not aware about this big sad "industry". Just to let you know, we work in this center since 4 years and I can assure you that all our animals growing here will then be released in a safe area where no farms, no hunters, no shoots will be allowed except for Photo shooting. After so many years in Africa we are enough well informed about this kind of industry and , of course, we would not work and spend all our energies and money for such a market. Our aim is just conservation and breeding program. I could write papers and papers, but it t would be much easier for everybody to have a look in internet at our center : Mukuni Big 5 Safaris
www.mukunibig5.co.zm/volunteerp/
Many other information can be found just typing the name of the center or our names in internet, Facebook etc..
Here in Flickr we have many friends and contacts and they know very well that what we do for these animals is just focused to the safeguard of nature and wildlife.
Further to this, we also have deep information about other centers created for the canned hunting industry. It's not easy to fight them, the governments of many states support this business. But we do what we can through information and some other ways .
Al people interested, are very welcome to join us as volunteering or just for a visit during a possible trip in the area.
Thanks however for your comment which allowed us to give some more information to people .

Big and red as can be, I thought it odd all the happy, school-book like drawings of animals, all of which are available inside, though in a much less happy form. (At least for them.)
