In my two trips to Tanzania I saw so many Lions I lost count. One thing I noticed is that they all have very distinct faces and manes. There are golden manes, black manes, curly-haired and even short-haired manes. I've posted a number of Lion portraits and each one is very unique. And still I never tire of their beauty. So here is yet another portrait of a beautiful Lion from Ndutu. January 31, 2017

January 17, 2018-Flowing Mane. I let regals mane grow out a few years ago. Before i kept it short for the show season. I love his long mane and how the light catches it.
Quick shot for tonight. Till tomorrow, still in this.
An Icelandic horse stands in a field just north of Hveragerði, Iceland near the golf course.
The Icelandic horse is a unique breed that descends from an ancient breed of horse brought by Norwegian settlers to Iceland in around 1100 AD. Archeologists confirm that this breed of horse is now extinct everywhere but in Iceland where its isolation preserved it. The breed, known simply as the Icelandic Horse, is known for its surefooted ability to cross rugged terrain.
It displays two gaits In addition to those common to other breeds, the typical walk, trot, and canter/gallop. The first, called the tölt, is a four-beat lateral ambling gait that is known for its explosive acceleration and ground covering speed while providing a comfortable ride. The second gait is the skeið, or "flying pace". Skeið is fast and smooth and used for pacing races and not long distance travel. Using this gait a horse may be able to reach up to 30 miles per hour (~50 km/hr).
The Icelandic breed is a small horse weighing between 330 and 380 kilograms (730 and 840 lb) and standing an average of 132 to 142 cm (52 to 56 inches) high. It is known for its spirited temperament. The breed comes in a variety of colors and color patterns. The Icelandic language includes more than 100 names for colors/ color patterns exhibited by the Icelandic horse. Some have very impressive manes or as I say “hairdos”. Over time, the Icelandic horse has developed into several strains.
Because the Icelandic horse is hardy and long-lived it has become popular internationally with large populations in Europe and North America. The horses, in Iceland, have few native diseases. To protect the breed, Icelandic law prevents horses from being imported into the country and does not allow for the return of exported horses to Iceland.

The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), also known as the giant jellyfish or the hair jelly.
Seen here in Crinan Harbour it is the largest known species of jellyfish.
Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea and in western Scandinavian waters south to Kattegat and Øresund.
Contrary to my title most encounters cause only temporary pain and localized redness. In normal circumstances, and in healthy individuals, their stings are not known to be fatal.
Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

I have a lot of hair.
This was the result of me downloading GIMP and playing with it.
I've had a picture planned for ages now that I really want to do, but requires a lot of timing and planning: both of which I haven't had much. However with 2/4 of my flatmates gone, leaving only one who uses the downstairs bathroom, hopefully I'll be able to get what I want!

We went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens to photograph hummingbirds. Unfortunately we didn't see or hear one....we have more in our yard! What we did see were beautiful flowers everywhere! The gardens have never looked better! This beauty reminds me of lion's mane for some reason.
