Five years ago to the date (July 6 2008), when I was nine years old, my dad and I were hiking in the south district of Shenandoah National Park and my dad spotted a large female Black Bear at the base of a tree. Two little cubs scooted up the tree, and two trees to the left, a third cub. These were my first ever bears. It's hard for me to believe that that was just five years ago given that since then I've seen many bears, both Black (primarily) and Grizzly, and authored a children's book ("Oh No, Gertrude!": www.oh-no-gertrude.com) with stunning photos by photographer Rodney Cammauf (www.wildlifeasart.com).
My dad and I headed up to the park this evening to celebrate five years, and we had a great time. We took a short hike on the Appalachian Trail to the very spot where we saw that mama and three cubs five years ago, and saw three bears. The bear in this movie is an adult female and she was seen very near where I saw the mama and three cubs five years ago. It was so special to see this bear, she really reminded me of that mama bear :).
I normally don't post videos here to flickr but I wanted a post to honor this day and during my dad and I's time with this bear the woods were very dark so video was the best option. The other two bears didn't give photo opportunties.
Thank you special mama and three cubs five years ago and thank you to the mama bear today. Looking forward to the next 5 years of bear watching!
The Big Five. Leopards (Leopardos). Kruger Park. South Africa. Oct/2018
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Leopards are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are generally smaller, more densely packed and without central spots. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers. The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph)
Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of around 20,000 square kilometres in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west.

O leopardo (nome científico: Panthera pardus) é uma espécie de felídeo nativo da África e da Ásia. É, com o tigre, o leão, o leopardo-das-neves e a onça-pintada, um dos cinco grandes felinos do gênero Panthera. A espécie apresenta cerca de catorze subespécies regionais distribuídas pela Áfricae Ásia, embora haja controvérsias quanto ao número. É também conhecido informalmente pela denominação de «onça» em Angola
O leopardo possui de 1,30 m a 1,67 m de comprimento e entre 60-70 cm de altura na cernelha - dependendo da subespécie - e pesam entre 30 e 90 kg. O mais pesado leopardo encontrado possuía 96,5 kg. As fêmeas são menores e têm cerca de dois terços do tamanho do macho. De menor porte do que a onça pintada, o leopardo é conhecido por sua agilidade

Che Guevara's currency... I found it in the September 2009 booklet for Institute Of Contemporary Arts in London. No idea, who created this image. They didn't credit it. I scanned it as a contribution to let's do money-art!? New Directions discussion thread created by utu
The official opening takes place today of the downtown Chilliwack campus at Five Corners.

I love taking pictures of money. Currency used to be a work of art, with some of the most amazing engravings, but now US currency is pretty "bland". But, with a little nudging of the colors, you can make them have a bit more "pop"!

Day Five: You can tell a LITTLE better on this photo, though it still doesn't really do it justice. Again, not the thick fur as advertised, but definitely fuzzier. Then again, maybe she's just collecting fuzz from the air. ;)
