We just returned from 10 days on an icebreaker, the Origo, leaving Longyearbyen in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. It took us 2 days cruising to reach the ice. Fortunately, there we saw 4 polar bears--a female with 3 cubs, which is unusual. During the trip we saw a total of 12 polar bears, 5 of which were in photo distance. It was quite an experience to have respectful encounters with a mammal this large and realize that I was not the top of the food chain. This shot was taken from the Origo, others to come, from a zodiac. I want to thank Fllickr friends Ann Silvestre, and Mario Nonaka, for valuable information that helped us prepare for this amazing Arctic photo expedition.

Experimenting with a Mandelbulb Fractal I made and then put on my laptop screen.
I posed the figure in front of the screen to create this scene.
Added some LUTS and a starburst in ON1.
This was a fun rainy day experiment.
This Great Blue Heron has killed an adult American Bullfrog and is trying to swallow it whole. American Bullfrogs are our largest North American frog and they too eat anything they can catch and swallow. Crest Lawn Memorial Gardens, Howard County, Maryland.
As the Pacific salmon migrate from the sea up to their spawning grounds on rivers (where they die after spawning) they encounter apex predators such as grizzly bears, wolves and eagles. The salmon provide a valuable source of nutrition to the predators that help them survive lean winters. Cariboo Chilcotin, BC.

Cocoa Beach Airshow 2025An F-22 Raptor rockets skyward at Cocoa Beach Airshow 2025, afterburners ignited and vapor trails slicing through the clear sky. Captured mid-climb, the stealth fighter radiates raw power and aerodynamic precision. This apex moment channels the Raptor’s dominance and velocity, a visual strike of tactical supremacy in motion.

For the purposes of this comic, the only “canonical” texts are the first Predator film and the first Batman vs. Predator miniseries–all other comics and movies involving the Predator are ignored. As for when it’s supposed to take place in DC continuity–I don’t really care. By including the miniseries as history I’ve already placed it outside the DC canon anyway.
Sydney Beach goers have been suffering from multiple shark attacks recently following heavy rain bringing both bait fish and sharks into the shallow areas. Sadly a young boy died after one of the attacks. Nature has a way of striking back at humanity. Beauty and the Beast indeed.
This artwork from Wollongong late last year was found near by the Wollongong Library and is composed from multiple photos to try and get it into a decent photo.

Not exactly a Mona Lisa smile, but her eyes !! Enigmatic and meditative. But that's enough anthropomorphism...
Owls in general have poor eyesight. This lady has yellow irises, which means she is diurnal. Nocturnal subspecies have red irises.
The structure of the rostrum starts in the skull and is asymmetric. The concentrical soft feathers capture the soundwaves and lead them to the orifices of the ear canal. The ruffle of tiny mouses between autumnal grasses is enough to locate them with pinpoint precision. The same fine feather structure on the upper side of the relatively broad wings guarantees a stealthy flight.

DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES; THANK YOU FOR VIEWING, FAVING AND COMMENTING MY DIGITAL OBSERVATIONS.
When the prey looks up to see this, it's often already too late!

While watching these least chipmunks play around on the rocks, I got to see some cool behavior. Suddenly, they all became very attentive and grouped up on this rock. One was calling out with a little chirping call, while they all looked down from above. We were around 10,000 feet in elevation and the only predators that are supposed to exist up there, to my knowledge, are lynx, western garter snakes, and birds of prey. They were looking almost directly down, and I could see that there were no lynx or birds of prey around so the only thing I can think is that there must've been a garter snake around.
