although I saw hippos every day during the Kafue trip last November I did not get great shots. Some of the encounters in the rather shallow water of the Kafue River were so close that taking an image was not a priority ...
This image was taken in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa a few months earlier

A day late, but Happy Caturday! I don’t know what it is about boxes, but Josie and Sebastian like them a lot. You should have been here to watch Sebastian take 10 minutes (at least) to squeeze himself into this one. ;) *Beth’s photo.
Another quick day in Marathon, at Banana Bay. Time flies, keep your family close and your priorities straight. Jesus loves you!!!
This RTH Male was enjoying some sweet nectar out of the Sicilian Honey Lily, also known as Mediterranean bells, Sicilian Honey garlic, or Allium siculum. Whatever the name is of this flower it sure is somewhat of a high priority nectar in the late spring for the Hummingbirds.
Thank you for all the views, faves, and comments.
Found some time, after taking down the Holiday Lights and Christmas Decorations, to scoot over to a local wildlife sanctuary; the trip paid off ;-)
Cooper’s Hawk:
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high-speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.
Once thought averse to towns and cities, Cooper’s Hawks are now fairly common urban and suburban birds. Some studies show their numbers are actually higher in towns than in their natural habitat, forests. Cities provide plenty of Rock Pigeon and Mourning Dove prey.

… and getting my attention. She doesn't quite accept my work on the keyboard when she wants attention (snuggling on my shoulder while I type is only good for a brief time.) She is more than happy to block keyboard access and ability to see display both. Tikki also gets attention by opera arias, moving pictures hanging from walls and sinking claws delicately into my leg but let’s stick with this. Happy Caturday 5 June 2021 “Getting Attention.”

To draw the monkey's attention, I snap fingers, gesture, whistle...., but the distraction proves too great to ignore.

So we went to the beautiful National Trust site Attingham Park. Clearly the priority was to check out the refreshments first! ;)
Three day lillies in the garden this morning! They bloom and fade in a flash, so ...work will just have to wait.
During a break of severe weather, BNSF 8064 wastes no time leading a high priority Z-train westbound for Denver as it heads out of Wiggins, Colorado.
I was targeting the duck lady, who had just devoted herself extensively to plumage care, when the autofocus of my camera (faster than me) paid more attention to this pretty kingfisher...
What a smart camera ;-)))
Worrying about the upcoming grade crossing wouldn't be the first thing on my mind as I headed across the North Dakota countryside on this farm road west of Douglas.
CP 3015 leads westbound crude oil empties on CP's Newtown Subdivision in late 2011, the year the four-axle restriction on this line was lifted.
To see what this looks like when the water is much lower, check out Robert Scott's image from summer 2017.
One of my most prized possessions: a roll of dutch priorty mail stickers. It allows me to send postcards all over the world.

This is a single image HDR shot at 1/5000 sec. shutter priority at ISO 160 with my Canon EOS-R. Processing as usual in Photomatix Pro, Photoshop 2023 and Topaz DeNoise.
I took a similar shot a few years ago but there were no clouds in the sky and I wasn't standing under a tree for the framing effect. Later I composited another sky into the image. This shot, taken on Saturday 12/18/22 doesn't have any compositing. I had to wait through a couple of planes approaching where there were people waiting to cross the street or whatever.
I've always loved this area. Lots of folks, including me, take photos of the planes approaching LAX from the little park a block up the street, but I love the retro shape of the Paradise Building entrance. (1981)
The plane is a Philippines Airlines Boeing 777.
I'm finally able to get set up at a computer desk to see what I captured during the 2 airshow weekend. Sorry it took so long but medical issues take priority.
A priority intermodal train is heading eastbound through downtown Elk River with the quietness of no horn. This was the last of four on this morning making for an interesting hour along Staples East.
Metra 148 pushes an inbound commute past the UP PALG3, waiting to gain access to the Geneva Sub and head down to Rochelle.
One of 10 GE ES44AC's honoring the BNSF Railway 25th Anniversary of the September 22, 1995 merger between Burlington Northern Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway leads BNSF Train H KCKLIN1 31A past a clear signal at Clarke on the BNSF St. Joseph Sub.
The logos of 8 predecessor railroads line the hood of the engine including CB&Q, GN, NP, BN, AT&SF, SLSF, C&S, and SP&S. This is the 3rd unit to enter regular service across the system with the anniversary lettering.
Who knows how long it's been since a locomotive featuring a Burlington Route herald knocked down these signals.

An Elderly Woman Was Standing At The Railing Of A Cruise Ship Gripping Her Hat Tightly So It Wouldn't Blow Away.
A Gentleman Approached Her And Said, "Pardon Me Madam...I Don't Mean To Seem Forward, But Did You Know Your Dress Is Blowing Up In this Strong Wind?"
She Replied, "Yes I Know But I Need Both Hands To Hold Onto This Hat."
The Man Fairly Shouted, "But Madam, You're Not Wearing Any Underwear And Your Privates Are Exposed!"
The Woman Looked Down Then Back Up At The Man And Said, "Sir, Anything You See Down There Is 75 Years Old.
I Just Bought This Hat Yesterday!"
