In celebration of Nature Photography Day, I thought that I would share an image from this winter of a momma moose and her juvenile offspring.
As we were making our way post sunrise shooting, we happened to see them foraging in the river, along with another bull moose. They seemed to keep their distance from the bull, but were always in the same vicinity. At first, they didn't seem to notice us photographing nearby, using our vehicle as a blind. Upon finally spotting us, the cow came a bit closer and stared at us for a few, but ultimately returned to her foraging in the water, along with the juvenile.
I loved the way that their reflections were present in the shallow and still water. It was the perfect way to transition from a day of early dawn photography to wildlife shooting the remainder of the day. :-)
This photo is one of the numerous images shared on the most recent blog post about Grand Teton National Park. Check it out at:

Learning and socialising - Young Elephant Rugby_w_0993
Elephant cognition is the study of animal cognition as present in elephants.
Most contemporary ethologists view the elephant as one of the world's most intelligent animals. With a mass of just over 5 kg (11lb), an elephant's brain has more mass than that of any other land animal, and although the largest whales have body masses twenty times those of a typical elephant, a whale's brain is barely twice the mass of an elephant's brain. In addition, elephants have around 257 billion neurons. Elephant brains are similar to humans' and many other mammals' in terms of general connectivity and functional areas, with several unique structural differences. Although initially estimated to have as many neurons as a human brain, the elephant's cortex has about one-third of the number of neurons as a human brain.
Elephants manifest a wide variety of behaviours, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, play, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory, and communication. Further, evidence suggests elephants may understand pointing: the ability to nonverbally communicate an object by extending a finger, or equivalent. It is thought they are equal with cetaceans and primates in this regard. Due to such claims of high intelligence and due to strong family ties of elephants, some researchers argue it is morally wrong for humans to cull them.
Aristotle described the elephant as "the animal that surpasses all others in wit and mind."
Dominic cannot wear his First pair of all-stars anymore, he tried to put them on today and he said " Momma, shoe tight!"
We then went to get him another pair, but these are still my favorite, they remind me of the baby that is growing up so fast I can hardly believe. I'm keeping them with all the other keepsakes that mommys like me keep close to their hearts.
Lately many things have happened around me.
News, surprises...basically a succession of strong feelings, good and bad ones.
And, in the meantime, i felt something changing in my "inner universe" too, let's say.
My thoughts and hopes about the future are starting to be more clear in my mind.
The feelings are more balanced than before, and i finally know which is my way to follow (well, even if I know that some more changings will come, but I think I'll be able to cope with them in a more serene way).
Anyway. I think this is all about growing up :)

my foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
my departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
at that particular time love had challenged me to stay
at that particular moment I knew not run away again
that particular month I was ready to investigate with you
at that particular time
we thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated
we thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding
at that particular time love encouraged me to wait
at that particular moment it helped me to be patient
that particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant
at that particular time
I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
and yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
and I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
and in the meantime I lost myself
in the meantime I lost myself
I'm sorry I lost myself - I am
you knew you needed more time, time spent alone with no distraction
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
at that particular time love encouraged me to leave
at that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
that particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left
at that particular time.

Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun.

I am going to keep having fun every day I have left, because there is no other way of life. You just have to decide whether you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.

Here is one of my son, so happy with his £20 note his Grandad gave him.
This morning I woke up and honestly didn't plan to shoot anything. Then I looked outside and saw the mass amount of fog. I knew I had to take advantage considering we are expecting snow tonight, so I packed up and ventured into the woods.
I've had this idea for a little while now and had sketched out various versions. I played around with different poses and such until I settled on this one. I felt that this was an image I didn't want to manipulate too much, mostly because it's one of the more personal photos I've taken. I'd love to share my interpretation, but I really like leaving that to the viewer initially. On that note, Happy hump day!
La mia fanciullezza fu libera e gagliarda. Risuscitarla nel ricordo, farla riscintillare dinanzi alla mia coscienza, è un vano sforzo. Rivedo la bambina ch'io ero a sei, a dieci anni, ma come se l'avessi sognata. Un sogno bello, che il menomo richiamo della realtà presente può far dileguare. Una musica, fors'anche: un'armonia delicata e vibrante, e una luce che l'avvolge, e la gioia ancora grande nel ricordo.

Peter Pan Sydrome
Peter Pan syndrome describes one's inability to believe that they are of an older age or to engage in behaviour usually associated with adulthood. This syndrome affects people who do not want or feel unable to grow up, people with the body of an adult but the mind of a child. They do not know how to or do not want to stop being children. The term comes from the fictional children's character Peter Pan, who never ages. While it is more commonly attributed to men, it can affect women as well.
We're here visiting I won't grow up
Little me & my Dad! A fun little photo that goes way back for me. Having another birthday this week and remember good connections to family and simple blessings of life. Be kind, take a few changes, give away some hugs, money and share time with those you cherish. Hang int there.

This is Crawley near Winchester, I grew up. beautiful countryside and a quite little village. Every thing I didn't want as a younger man. But every thing I'd love as an older me, life's funny like that 😊
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Recently, some people I know were discussing another person… He’s 70, divorced, and lives on his own. There are “big” silly things that make him happy. He’s bragging to people about those “big” little things that excite him… They say he has the mind of a child. They say he never grew up. They say he has the brain of a dog because dogs always get happy about “big” little things.To start with, I hate discussing people’s personalities when they are not present. And to end, what do people mean when they say to take life seriously?!! To stop and think that this world is full of hunger, wars, deaths, poverty, illnesses & misfortunes. That our bodies fail us till we die. That most of the time love comes with loss & pain in the end. To take life seriously… to change yourself & things around you for the better. Maybe dogs & children are the only ones who get it right! They love and find joy in everything!
