El rei de la casa by Miquel Bohigas Costabella

El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.

Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.

Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.

The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.

Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.

The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.

Canadian River Cattle Company Ranch 10 by Charlie Middleton

www.chassmiddleton.com/property-details.php?property_ID=16

Location: The ranch is located along the Canadian River in the western Texas Panhandle.

Acres: 71,059 Acres, more or less

Terrain: Approximately 29 miles of the Canadian River runs through the middle of this scenic ranch. The topography varies from rolling uplands to elevated mesa points descending to wide river bottom country. This is truly a beautiful ranching property.

Water: The ranch is exceptionally well watered by the Canadian River, numerous creeks and springs, water wells and earthen ponds.

Improvements: The Canadian River Cattle Company Ranch is considered to be exceptionally well improved. The main lodge has over 7,000 square feet and features 6 bedrooms, 6 and 1/2 baths, and a rustic trophy/game room. Other improvements include pilot's quarters, hand houses, a manager's house, barns, pens, etc. All improvements are very well maintained.

Access: Access is provided by a graded road to the southeast corner of the property. There is no public access through the ranch, and the front gate can be locked to assure privacy. For the convenience of the owner, a 4,500' paved landing strip and airplane hanger are located adjacent to the main lodge.

Hunting/Recreation: The Canadian River Cattle Company offers some of the best hunting to be found in this area of Texas. Recently, two state record mule deer have been harvested, and numerous other trophy quality mule deer were taken from this ranch, but not entered in the Texas Big Game Awards Contest. The ranch also offers quality whitetail deer, antelope, turkey, quail and waterfowl.

In recent years, elk, lion, and bear have also been sighted on the ranch. Without question, this game is following the Canadian River Corridor, which is a major travel route for wildlife.

Price: $475.00 per acre

Remarks: The seller will convey all of his mineral and water right interest. This is one of the most productive, scenic, large blocks of real estate to come on the market in recent years. The ranch has many different historical points of interest, and in an effort to preserve the size, open space, wildlife, and history of this outstanding ranch, the owner placed a conservation easement on the majority of this property. This carefully planned easement will secure the unique features of this ranch for generations to come.

Some hope, for a change by David Farrant

View larger on black.

I was working on this image last Tuesday, the inauguration day of Barack Obama, and intended to upload it then, as modest tribute to the hope and optimism of that day. I tried several treatments and wasn't very happy with any of them, then was drawn away by the countless things in work and life that compete for time and attention. Five days later, I still don't know if this is good, bad or humiliating... but here it is, anyway.

Much attention has been paid to Obama as inspiration, but what I really admire is the incredible combination of perspiration and organization that characterizes this man and the people he brought together. What once was a long-shot run for the presidency evolved into perhaps the best political campaign in history, with every base covered brilliantly: the policy tightrope, fundraising (the most by anyone anywhere ever?), media campaign, use of the Internet, the ground war and "get out the vote", and more. Most impressive, and what made all else possible, is Obama's rare gift for inspiring and motivating a wide range of people -- even those who otherwise would be adversaries. Here is someone who became President of the USA, not by dividing and diminishing people -- as we have seen too often in politicians (like the previous president) -- but by bringing people together and drawing out their belief in a better world, and their desire to make it happen.

I am amazed that anyone could run a campaign so effectively, or a presidency, or anything on this scale... when I can barely process a photograph, or find my house keys!

Anyway, there is much promise in this new president (especially compared to his predecessor) and some hope, for a change. May he live up to that hope, even in part.

I blended a few background textures -- 2 from the (former?) Flickr user Ghostbones, who I'd gladly link to, but his account seems to have been deleted. The other texture used (very faintly) is the iconic image of Obama by Shepard Fairey... can you see it?

Still crazy after all these years: John Doe & X @ Avalon, 2005 by Matthew Ireland

view large on black

I'm now done uploading old concert photos shot with a P&S. Here's the legendary X in concert with Juliana Hatfield at Avalon, Boston, December 2005. In the early 1980's, X led the Los Angeles punk pack. The band's raw sound was infused with rootsy rockabilly, folk, and country blues, borrowing as much from Gene Vincent and Woody Guthrie as The Clash and Buzzcocks. X has been described as "not just one of the greatest punk bands, but one of the greatest live rock acts of all time."

Boston's hometown darling Juliana Hatfield opened the show and joined X for several numbers.

listen: I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts (More Fun in the New World, 1983)

I've been meaning to tell you

I've got this feelin' that won't subside

I look at you and I fantasize

You're mine tonight

Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I wanna hold you so hear me out

I wanna show you what love's all about

Darlin' tonight

Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I've got hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With those hungry eyes

Now did I take you by surprise

I need you to see

This love was meant to be

[SOLO]

I've got hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I've got hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With those hungry eyes

Now did I take you by surprise

With my hungry eyes

I need...

Hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With my hungry eyes

A trainer with his horse, in the small village of Sohan, near Islamabad. Horse dancing is a tradition of Punjab province: the horses are not ridden but conducted by the man nearby. Normally, in festivals, drums are also played to guide the horse. The horse dances mostly on his back legs, kneeling, standing up, or tapping his front legs on the ground. Trainers are taught from master to "students", as an oral tradition.

I woke up in a mental funk, I was sore, and slept way later then I should have. I ended up cleaning as fast as I could before Mom got home, and ended up riding over to the community building to pick something up. I ate cookies for breakfast on the way.

After that, I got dressed, and we went up to get some of my stuff at Jess' house. Stuff I had left from our sleepover, that I wasn't up for carrying around at old port fest. We drove all around her neighborhood looking at houses, we got lost for a while but made it out alive.

I got to see Jake for a while, we met up at DQ and just sat in the car and talked. It was good to see him, I haven't for too long.

I got home, Tess and I went on a walk and met up with Alexa who was out with a bunch of friends. We all hung out, took pictures, spent time together. It started pouring and went swimming and now Alexa and I are re watching the Heroes series.
