Cuteness overload! 😍
From the Zoo's website:
SPECIES: Red Panda
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Ailurus fulgens fulgens
HABITAT: High-altitude temperate forests with thick canopy cover and dense bamboo understories
DIET: Herbivorous. Bamboo constitutes 85% of their diet and they also eat a variety of fruit.
LIFE EXPECTANCY: 15 – 20 years
THREATS
The global red panda population has declined by 50% in 20 years and there may be as few as 2,500 remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and fragmentation is the primary threat and it is compounded by increasing human population, climate change, natural disasters, logging, inadequate enforcement of laws and regulations, poaching and a recent increase in the capture of live animals for the pet trade. While this sounds grim, there is hope for this species thanks to the dedication of AZA accredited facilities and their partner conservation organizations.
COMMITTED TO CONSERVATION
The Buttonwood Park Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan (SSP) for Red Pandas. The goal of the SSP is to cooperatively manage animal populations within AZA accredited zoos to ensure the sustainability of a healthy and genetically diverse population while enhancing the conservation of this species in the wild.
With the grand opening of the Zoo’s very first red panda habitat in 2019, we became a Partner in Conservation with the Red Panda Network by becoming a significant contributor to the Plant a Red Panda Home campaign and subsequently a Reforestation Sponsor in 2022. Red Panda Network is the world leader in red panda conservation. Conservation of wild red pandas and their habitat is done through research and monitoring, policy and advocacy, community-based conservation, education and outreach, and sustainable livelihoods. BPZOO has contributed over $12,000 to Red Panda Network over the past four years.
INSIDER INFO
The Zoo’s breeding pair of red pandas, Jacob and Marie, celebrated their 5th and 4th birthday in 2022. Marie was brought to New Bedford based on a breeding recommendation as part of the AZA’s Species Survival Plan.
On June 4, 2020, for the first time in our 126 year history, a red panda cub was born! Through a fun gender reveal enrichment activity, Jacob announced the cub was a boy. Five names were chosen from our Red Panda Pal subscribers and put to a public vote. Our community enjoyed watching Kodo grow up and in 2022, he moved to another AZA accredited zoo to start a family of his own.
“If you can’t see my mirrors, I can’t see you” - so says the safety notice often displayed on the back of trucks.
These bizarre looking vehicles with their ingeniously adapted load space were a feature around Pushkar where I suppose they were stuffed with animal fodder servicing the nearby camel and livestock market.

Thats a lot of stuff to get in my interior shot of the Opera building in Oslo.
Hopefully the sun to the left manages to balance of the romance on the right...
I really don't know:p It might just explode and reveal a parallel world where there is nothing but romance and opera and the sun never sets...
And if it does... Well I`ll see you there:-)
One of the hazards from playing video games at an advanced age is pixel overload, which can lead directly to crossed and wandering eyes--even in dogs.

I’m finding out that when I reach the point of sensory overload, I can go to the greenhouse and just watch things grow.

Some days go by so quickly, I'm afraid to blink. Others never seem to end. Today was just that. Every time I turned around, there was another project waiting for me.
We took a little trip into the city yesterday and while interesting to see, the din of gridlocked traffic, crowds of theater goers, tourists, wedding parties, panhandlers, and kamikaze cyclists, all conspired to exhaust me with a bit of sensory overload. The three hour drive home brought us to a favorite sunset haunt, where we ran into an acquaintance, who was also there to enjoy a little peace and quiet. That's him on the paddleboard, by the way.
Everything about Proxy Falls in Oregon is an overload. Emotional overload, water overload, moss overload, stunning overload ... breathtakingly overloaded. Photos of this beautiful waterfall don't do it justice because it's so much grander than you can imagine. Had I used Andy as a frame of reference he would be so small in the photo that you would barely see him.
Our 3 day trip to the Columbia River Gorge ended at Proxy Falls and that gave us a few days to practice and be ready for the grand finale. After days spent hiking to a number of waterfalls, several breweries, and a few hours stuck in the snow, we spent the night in Sisters, Oregon at a hotel that made both of us think that we should have been there with girlfriends/wives and not each other (think modern log cabin vibe with jacuzzi and fireplace!). A short jaunt in the car, an easy hike, and a scramble down to the falls and we finally made it to Proxy!
We arrived early so we could have time to figure out what compositions we wanted. The sun stayed behind the trees and out of the way until just after 10:30am, giving us over 2 hours to shoot with beautiful soft light. Once the sun came out we watched as the classic “light beams” came out. Ultimately I decided not to use those photos because I felt they distracted from the stunning waterfall!
Knowing how wet things would be here I had picked up a few extra micro-fiber cloths to ensure I kept the lens clean from droplets. I didn’t want to pull an Alan Chan and find my shots ruined when I got home. I went through every cloth I had but I came home happy and droplet free!

I hate more than 3 seconds exposures on waterfalls because I always get the blown highlights and loose texture on the water, like this one with Shanghai. That's why I love HP5, with HP5 I can go up to iso 3200 to get to that 1 second perfect exposure, and it behaves so well.

Yes, there are so much beauty around now (almost overloading) but this evening it's raining...so not going to be out with the camera. :) Have a great week everyone!
my eyes are popping out right now.....wish I had the patience and the know how to paint something like this so I could hang it on the wall to wake me up in the morning!!!
Yay more robots! This was the concentration swap. I chose @clevy because I love his style and his art made me more comfortable drawing science fiction and fantasy things. Thanks bro! colored pencil on black paper (12×8)
