Something I've been meaning to try for some time... Jumping Pine Marten! Ideally I was after some daylight shots of them doing this but they either didn't play ball or I wasn't ready.
Fortunately it worked well at night though - once I'd eventually got the settings right!
Jumping Spider on my shed wall today. These are miniscule and there is no way I would be doing macro close ups if they were house spider size. :))
For the doubters among my followers...yep, I got the yip.
When I posted the Red-tailed Hawk yesterday, I mentioned that it flew across the prairie dog town while I was attempting to photograph a jump yip. Actually, I had already managed to get that shot about ten minutes before the hawk entered the scene.
During each trip to Black-tailed Prairie dog country, I've been rather intensively observing the little rascals with the intent of increasing my odds of capturing the jump yip. The payoff was that I captured nine of them during our latest trip.
Some info on jump yip behavior:
Black-tailed Prairie Dogs have a vast "vocabulary". Some scientists consider their vocalizations to be a language. They can communicate the type of predator/threat, the size, the color and whether it's on the ground or airborne.
One of their communications is called a "jump-yip" where one will stand up, seemingly without reason, on its haunches, lean back its head and call out "wee-oo." One of the main theories for this behavior has been that it's a signal of "all clear". But research has shown that they perform the jump-yip before, during and after dangerous events. Some researchers now conclude the whole point of jump-yipping is for one prairie dog to assess the alertness and responsiveness of his or her associates.
On Saturday, armed with my wonderful mamma's help, I took Micah who has severe ASD to the beach for the first time in many years. This beach is at Semaphore Park and it is where I grew up, learned to swim and spent many summers. It seemed fitting that this would be the place to take Micah. He was so filled with joy that passerby's would stop and smile at him and talk to me about how happy he was. He ran through the tide pools and splashed along the shore, jumping, laughing and having the best time. He is such an active boy, it didn't surprise me that he would be running around full of energy. What did surprise me was when he sat down at the shore line and simply watched the water come in and out. So at peace and just being still in the moment. A very special outing for both of us.

(Colonus sylvanus). Angelina County, Texas.
We found this primarily arboreal jumping spider hanging out in our backyard garden.
I'd seen one of these earlier in the week, on a hibiscus plant. This one was on a Turk's cap. Jumping spider eyes are among my favorite macro subjects...
So this would be one of the few times that I had a specific song in mind and I just wanted to find the right photo for it! So a pair of street dancers would match nicely with one of the most famous hip hop songs ever. And since we are still around Saint Patrick's celebrations, a little info (thank you Google) about the song: it was filmed during a Saint Patrick's parade in NYC but since it was Saint Patrick's there are a ton of Irish or Bostonian elements in the video clip (like Danny Boy wearing a Celtics jersey). Oh, by the way, I took this photo in Boston (which is the US city with the highest percentage of population with Irish decent)!
House of Pain - Jump around
Jumping Spider, first time to take a click of one, interesting subject. This one was enjoying some type of ant for dinner.
They can apparently launch themselves to two-thirds of their body length at a speed of 80 kilometres per hour. Then they do the 'death roll' to bring you down into the water with them.
"You" are probably regarded as potential prey.
"You" probably don't want to be near the waters edge in croc infested waters...
My wife's family lives in Australia in an area where snow never visits. These kind of scenes never grow old for them to see whereas someone who has endured decades of Minnesota winters has to be jump-started to appreciate fleeting beauty during a mild winter thus far. A week of heavy morning fog only adds to a spectacular landscape around this unused barn.
Wanna run away
wanna fly away
away from this window
where they'll never find me

Winterberg is an important winter sports area in Western Germany. This ski jump monument is located at the town entrance.
Jumping Downs NR just outside Barham Kent, one of our top walks for Forrest, you can sit on a bench at the top of the hill on the left hand side and watch the Buzzards and owls hunting down the valley, or look for orchids, fungi, or wild flowers depending on season, a special place.

Se una rana si tuffa in una pentola d'acqua bollente, salta subito fuori perché avverte il pericolo. Ma se si tuffa in una pentola d'acqua tiepida, che viene portata lentamente a ebollizione, non si muove affatto, rimane lì anche se la temperatura continua a salire. E alla fine muore bollita, se qualcuno non la salva. Il nostro sistema nervoso collettivo è come quello della rana: serve una scossa improvvisa perché ci rendiamo conto del pericolo. Se invece ci sembra graduale, anche se arriva velocemente, restiamo seduti senza reagire.

Thailandia, spiaggia di Chaweng, Koh Samui. Una rana si adagia su una foglia esposta al sole equatoriale.
Buona giornata :)
