"Bobcat Looks Back" by Patti Deters. This lone bobcat (Lynx rufus) was seen walking through a remote area of the Sonoran Desert near Tucson, Arizona. I was sitting at a photo blind when this beautiful wild creature suddenly appeared. The bobcat was extremely silent as he slowly walked through the area, totally ignoring me and not seeming to have a care in the world. You can see the ground is full of pebbles and little rocks, but the bobcat made not a single sound - an important hunting skill for this solitary predator. As the animal was about to go behind a rock, he turned his head and looked toward the photo blind - the only time he ever acknowledged I was there. This was my first (and will probably be the only) time I've ever seen a bobcat up close in the wild. These elusive wild cats are mammals and are sometimes referred to as a lynx, catamount, or wildcat. Whatever you call them, these feline carnivores are stealthy and oh so beautiful.

She taught me about Husky/Malamute Love!
Her Vet said,"I'm in love with your dog"
She is the reason I love Huskies.
Because of Sonja, I 'looked for' Anna and Ruby.
Badger wasn’t harsh but the sun was on this morning. First time I’ve ever had a badger in sight like this that lasted only a few seconds - Mrs Badger sure was a hardy looking critter and was a welcomed surprise while I was watching Meadowlarks.
I made this in the hotel at BrickCon. It's four legged. It's olive green. I make clanky noises when I stomp it around. What more do you want?
Found at EVolved Creatures, and is part of the Ember's Cauldron Shopping event!

This was definitely the highlight of my winter vacation! These sweet artic foxes full grown are small in size, length is only between 18 to 27 inches and in the wild live only 3 to 4 years They have chubby little round bodies to preserve heat, and mainly feast on lemmings. They are almost pure white to help camouflage them from other predators such as red fox, golden eagles, and grizzly bears!
We can't do without it any more. Electricity is essential to our economy, society and to our personal lives. We need it at home and at work. More and more applications depend on electricity. Think of central heating, cars and now also trucks and large industrial production processes, such as at Tata Steel, Yarra and Dow Chemical.
TenneT has the task of installing an electricity grid at sea. This way, offshore wind farms can be connected to the onshore electricity grid. Onshore houses the greatest demand for electricity. If each wind farm had to design and construct its own export connection, it would be very expensive. The export cable determines roughly 40% of the business case of a wind farm. That is why the Dutch have a system that standardizes and coordinates this. Until 2030, TenneT will build eight identical platforms and position them offshore. These are the “sockets” for the offshore wind farms.
Hollandse Kust south
TenneT is currently installing 2 sockets for the Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) wind energy zone. HKZ Alpha and Beta. Together they will provide the offshore connection for Vattenfall's 1.5 GW wind farm from the end of 2022.
Collision with Beta
On Monday, January 31 2022, storm Corrie caused an empty bulk carrier of 200+ meters to drift. After a collision with another vessel it drifted through the construction zone of HKZ. It just missed Alpha and later collided with the chassis or support jacket of the platform Beta. This has caused damage, but not to the extent that the jacket had to be replaced or had to be repaired onshore.
Topside
On December 27, 2021, the superstructure, also called topside, was placed on the jacket. TenneT is now carrying out the final installation work. In order to do this quickly and efficiently, the employees do not sail back to land every day. A working/hotel platform has been placed next to Beta. In this case, the Seafox 7. This is a four-legged, self-lifting large ship without propulsion. The ship offers space for accommodation, construction work and maintenance. It’s specifically designed to withstand harsh offshore environments and conditions, it can operate all year round in water depths up to 40m. The Seafox 7 offers permanent accommodation to 113 persons on board (POB).
Getting bigger
The topside of Beta is roughly 30 meters high, 60 meters long and 35 meters wide. In short: it is not a small object. In the future, the sockets will become larger. Because the wind farms further out to sea will become a bit larger and, due to the longer distance to land, require a different connection technology. Those platforms then become 5 football fields in size. In any case, so large that, despite a lens of 16 mm, you can no longer easily get this in one photo from so close.
Technical Stuff
This is a single non-HDR photo. The EV range of the Canon R6 is such that one in many cases doesn’t multiple shots. And that's a very nice feature when you're on board a moving ship. This shot was taken at: 250ISO, f8.0, -2/3EV, 1/250 and at 29 mils.
Post-production was done with Lightroom. Mainly balancing the (back) lighting conditions. Finally, I added the copyright signs (in Photoshop). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the frequent copying of my photos. So, don't bother commenting on that.
one island in the great ponds of Drottningholm where all dogs can run free and play, a popular place indeed for all fourlegged buddies and their owners :-)
...and it will all go away.
"When your master criticize you, try to fall down on the soft rug, close your eyes and pretend to sleep. When you open your eyes again, it will ALL be forgotten."
Nope. You´re so wrong, buddy.
If someone steals a slice of my favorite smoked ham, I will remember that.
I had the pleasure of enjoying a morning coffee with one of my best fourlegged friends.
Hard to beat, really.
Love is...
Love is feeling cold in the back of vans
Love is a fanclub with only two fans
Love is walking holding paintstained hands

Mercy is yet another cat from the shelter. She absolutely has the softest fur. And the most gorgeous stare.
Well, the weather was just perfect for it that day - isn't today though ;) Some more below of a very special couple of hours with my fourlegged friends on the moor :)
For the protection of our wildlife, and all the other fourlegged friends in our neighborhood, I don't "fire" regular fireworks on New Year's Eve.
However, I do have other stuff in my "gunwardrobe".
Like this, for instance.
It is almost silent, and will create a great atmosphere for photos, but also, most likely, stir up and scare the neighbors...
It would be fun. But not so much fun if the FD shows up.😬

Compared to american or european horse, "pinoy" horse is small in body and legs but they are strong, fast and agile.
