Thanks for all your visits, faves, and comments. Much appreciated.
Found on a Broom seedpod. Unfortunately I don't have a clue who it belongs to. Any assistance on ID gratefully received.
This is Layla - she is 6 months old and a weimerainer. I call her the velociraptor. Sorry the photo is blurry but she never stops moving.

After many hours of patient and diligent tracking and stalking in the most inhospitable of conditions imaginable I finally caught up with and managed to photograph this young seal in it's native habitat. (The Natural History Museum London, cooling filter and weather effect added later in Photoshop.)

We came across this seal pup on the beach at Forvie. Photo is cropped as didn't want to go too close. Initially it was just lying very still and we thought it may be dead or injured as there was a dead seal just a wee bit further along the beach. Thankfully this one rolled over as a wave came in so we could see he was fine.
Every year, I look forward to that short timeframe when the pups emerge from their burrows. The day I shot this, it was VERY windy, so I upped the ISO so I could have a high shutter speed. I had the camera sitting on my drivers window on a beanbag and the wind buffeted my truck. Sheesh! I got home and and boy were the shots noisy. I had *just* purchased Topaz Denoise and decided to try it for the first time. Geez it did marvelously. Now I'm not so sorry I spent the money for the software.
Also, I shot this just before I got busted AGAIN shooting pups. I work on KAFB and know the rules about what is verboten to shoot. No worries, I don't care about base stuff, I just care about prairie dogs and owls. Friday, someone called me in as a potential threat. Two police cars and an armored vehicle came to check me out! Eventually they let me go saying it was OK so long as my camera was pointed to the ground. They apologized for scaring away the animals.
This day, Sunday, after I warned the gate guard to tell security, a cop came by. More friendly, but he said I had to leave period. Both times, I offered to show the officers the photos on my card. This guy was impressed by the quality of the shots. I'm not bragging about my shots, but duh ( :-) a 500 mm lens does take a bit better shot than a cell phone!!!! And that is kinda the whole point! :-)
I know the officers are just doing their jobs. I am still working how to get a "get out of jail free" card, though for the 2 weeks or so that I photograph the prairie dog pups. I'm not so interested the PDs when they're adults.
Where could that little pupper have gotten off to? I hope he's not getting into trouble!

The start of another project...
I'm planning on spending as much time as I can with a colony of Grey Seals through the Winter. The project started last weekend with my first visit to find this cute young pup.
I kept a good distance away so as to allow him to carry on rolling around and scratching. Mum was just to the right of this image and she slept most of the time.
Riding Mountain Park - This particular day was overcast and rainy but I was lucky enough that this coyote Pup came out to pose for a few photos before carrying on with foraging!

All losses are restored and sorrows end.

Reading and Northern train PNPV (Port Clinton to Pottsville) is doing a bit of switching on the west end of West Cressona Yard at about MP 1.1 on what is now known as the RBMN's Minersville Branch.
The rails through here are among the oldest in the country having opened around 1831 as the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad. Built to haul caul from above Minersville to a connection with the Schuylkill Canal it was animal powered until 1847 and then ultimately fell into the fold of the expanding Philadelphia and Reading in 1864. For the next 112 years this was the property of the Reading until that bankrupt road was folded into Conrail which operated this trackage for 14 years until selling it to the expanding Reading Blue, Mountain and Northern Railroad in 1990.
The town of Cressona was laid out as a railroad town in the 1840s and remains an important hub of operations for the RBMN to this day. The brick depot in the background was built by the RDG around 1911 and remains in railroad use as an office for the railroad's signal department, though I'm not sure when the last regular passenger train called here, but my guess would be sometime in the early 1930s.
Leading the train are two EMD end cab switchers from decidedly different eras, RBMN 1542 (MP15DC blt. Apr. 1982 as Southern 2426) and 803 (SW8 blt. Sep. 1951 as Lehigh Valley 270)

A five-day old Hawaiian monk seal pup stays close to mom on the shoreline. The tenth pup born on Oahu in 2024. After a morning feeding, mom and pup relax on the beach in the warming sun. Endemic to Hawaii, this species of monk seal was established in the archipelago millions of years before the human populated main volcanic islands emerged above sea level. The original seal-occupied islands have since receded to coral atolls and are now part of Papahānaumokuākea. A recently updated survey estimate by NOAA indicates a small, but encouraging, population increase to 1,570 individuals throughout the Hawaiian archipelago. However, Hawaiian monk seals remain endangered and among the rarest of marine mammals. The Hawaiian name for a monk seal is ilio holo i ka uaua meaning dog that runs in rough seas.
Arctocephalus pusillus
This pup was photographed in Narooma, NSW, Australia, near the Montague Island seal colony.
The area isn't regarded as a breeding colony and is 1000 kilometres north of where most pups are reared, in the Bass Strait. It seems that at least a few pups are being born this far north! This is consistent with the good news that the Australian population of Fur Seals is on the increase and back from the brink of extinction.

Northern elephant seals are not presently endangered. At one time, however, this species was thought to have been hunted to extinction. They were presumed extinct by the 1880's, after being exploited by hunters and whalers seeking to use the animals' thick layer of blubber as an oil source. Now you can see Northern Elephants gathered on the beach in a "rookery" where the females give birth, the males fight for dominance, and the newborn pups try to stay out of the way.
