after drinking from a puddle this juvenile pale chanting goshawk takes off with muddy feet, KTP, South Africa
I stopped to take some pictures but, the only one I really liked at this location was the one I took of my truck. Go figure.
Tourism reaches its nadir in mid-winter Saint John. And 2015 was no ordinary winter around the Maritimes-----record snowfalls all over the place.
Thanks for taking a look at ultrachool's photostream!

Two Robins measuring each other up near a bird feeder. These territorial birds are quick to see off a rival.
I was stunned to see such a big and well-maintained monastery at such a remote place, where it used to take at least four days of trek to reach even a few years back, with just a small village having hardly fifty households.
Yes, Lingshed monastery is one of the oldest remote monasteries in Zanskar valley. It was established in the 15th century around the same time when Kasrsha and Padum monstaries were also established in Zanskar, a region of Ladakh, which still lies cuf off from the mainland in winter due to unbearably low temperature,
The new monstery has replaced the old cave monasteries.
Taken in Lingshed, Zanskar valley, Ladakh Himalayas, India
in Sefton Park, Liverpool, England.
Few things clear the head better than a brisk morning walk in the crisp winter air.

Mercury Retrograde comes to an end later today (June 22), and not a moment too soon. Life has simply been more challenging over the past three weeks or so as anything to do with communication has simply faltered. These retrograde periods effect people in different ways, some worse than others. For me it's been a series of misadventures with computer apps inexplicably failing, emails that simply won't send, issues with cell phones and more than my fair share of mechanical failures, back orders and delays. I'm less prone to (although not immune from) the interpersonal misadventures that occasion the retrograde. People tend to become argumentative often as a result of simple misunderstandings. You say one thing but it is interpreted in an entirely different way. And the hallmark of the retrograde is the careless mistake. I think I'm less prone to the latter problems because I take great pains to speak clearly and double check my work during the retrograde phase. These are things I feel I have some control over, unlike the computer and technical issues that seem to lurk behind every corner. Even still, things get by me. One irony of the retrograde is not discovering the mistakes until we exit the retrograde. Many a time I've breathed a premature sigh of relief that I got through it, only to discover something I did wrong days or even weeks later. Certainly things go wrong all the time, not just during retrograde. It's just that things are more prone to breakdown during these periods. And there is often a cascading effect where one minor thing results in something more severe or damaging. People sometimes ask if I seriously believe in this "stuff". Personally I don't believe it's subject to a belief system, but that's just me talking. I lien the retrograde to a curve in the metaphorical road of life. To me it calls for taking one's foot off of the gas for a few weeks to ensure that we don't run off the road. Retrogrades are a wonderful time to reflect, just a poor time to execute. Life begins to get back on the rails tomorrow.
I might just try having a digital holiday for a few days to be present in the moment. I could even hug a tree. Yule log off too maybe? Ho ho ho.

Two Sandhill Cranes taking off from a stubble fleld. HWY 2, S of Meecham, Saskatchewan, Canada. 2 September 2020
2025-26: Judge commended out of 3783 entries in Photocrowd 'Minimalist Nature ' in October 2025
Added to Flickr's World Migratory Bird Day gallery at www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157716227229072
2020-21:Scored 22.5 in CAPA Prairie Zone competition: 'The exposure is good and the image is sharp. There are two distractions. The first is the yellow band across the top and the second is the bright area in the left of the water. A crop from the top and the left side plus darkening the water would fix this and make the Sandhill Cranes more prominent.'
No need to whisper each other words of love, you both understand each other without even breathing!
Two unbeliavable beauties lasting forever in my memory!
Dedicated to you Laura, my best life and travels' companion !

We wish to thank all the Flickers who took one moment for their several views and nice very appreciated comments. Thanks friends!
Well, sometimes we find on our African pictures comments from people who doubt about our African activity. This is a reasonable reaction, that's why we decided to post some clarification directly on the pictures for all those who can pass through here. Of course all comments are well accepted and we will be glad to answer to all of you. This is part of our work.
______________________________________________
We thank all people who comment our shots with our big cats with these kind of notes:

What many people don't realize is that once fully grown up those lions go to the canned hunting industry
www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jun/03/canned-huntin...
_____________________________________________
This information can be very useful for people who are not aware about this big sad "industry". Just to let you know, we work in this center since 4 years and I can assure you that all our animals growing here will then be released in a safe area where no farms, no hunters, no shoots will be allowed except for Photo shooting. After so many years in Africa we are enough well informed about this kind of industry and , of course, we would not work and spend all our energies and money for such a market. Our aim is just conservation and breeding program. I could write papers and papers, but it t would be much easier for everybody to have a look in internet at our center : Mukuni Big 5 Safaris
www.mukunibig5.co.zm/volunteerp/
Many other information can be found just typing the name of the center or our names in internet, Facebook etc..
Here in Flickr we have many friends and contacts and they know very well that what we do for these animals is just focused to the safeguard of nature and wildlife.
Further to this, we also have deep information about other centers created for the canned hunting industry. It's not easy to fight them, the governments of many states support this business. But we do what we can through information and some other ways .
Al people interested, are very welcome to join us as volunteering or just for a visit during a possible trip in the area.
Thanks however for your comment which allowed us to give some more information to people .
