Found on a Broom seedpod. Unfortunately I don't have a clue who it belongs to. Any assistance on ID gratefully received.
Fox pups are using one another for target practice to perfect their mousing skills. They are spending more time in the woods and following their mother on short trips away from the den. I've encountered them several times along the driveway and the mother fox is always the first one to see me. Every time, she barks a warning and sends the pups running full speed back to their den.

It was getting really cloudy by the time we left the fair and by the time we got in the car it started to rain. The juxtaposition of bright colors and dark rain clouds is quite striking now that I look at it again.
*Krusty Pup is apparently a well known fair corn dog vendor (served with a side of freakishly yellow American mustard). I love corn and good kosher dogs but this I just could not eat.
Pup's name is Tango Hombre -- as in "Tango Man" -- but with the alternate spelling of "tengo hambre" (which suits his appetite).
We spent the longest time coming up with his name, and had just about settled on Tango Jack. We really liked the sound of Tango (two distinctive syllables, with strong consonants and long vowels), and we liked the initials TJ (after Thomas Jefferson, a long story), and the idea was to use the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...) but when we looked up J and found out it was Juliet, we had to adapt. So that's the first half of the story, and we even filled out his papers with that name. But, after further discussion, the pun won out. His papers were changed, and they are in the mail. Finally and officially: he's Tango Hombre.
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.
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.
Amazing Wildlife spectacle, Every November and December, grey seals come to the Donna Nook coastline to give birth to their pups near the sand dunes
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.

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.
I had the pleasure of watching this young coyote pup for half an hour hunting for voles. Even at his young age he had all the killer instincts catching over 10 of them before he got full and just started playing with them.

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)

I wake up this morning to sunny skies. Yeah. On my way out the door to shoot some photos, I'm rousted by my neighbor. Look the fox is out and so are her pups. If only you had your camera...
I parked the car in the middle of our street because I had only heard about the Fox and I didn't want to miss it. Nobody has seen the pups though. Keep in mind, we live in the city! There has been a fox roaming the streets during the day and that in and of itself is unusual. we live off come canyons and we know their are coyotes, and racoons and possums and such, but they are rarely seen.
Sure enough, there's the fox across the street. I open my camera bag, immediatelt take off the ultra-wide and through on my telephoto lens and start shooting. The rest as they say is history.
So cute! They were so calm that I finally ended up close enough to pet them. Very strange! Again, I live in the city.
Each year from late October to December, Donna Nook in Lincolnshire becomes one of the best places in the UK to witness the grey seal breeding season. This incredible natural event sees hundreds of grey seals returning to the dunes to give birth to their pups.
Female seals (cows) come ashore to deliver their adorable white-coated pups, while the much larger males (bulls) fight for dominance and the chance to mate. The pups, born with their distinctive fluffy coats, are nurtured by their mothers for about three weeks, during which they rapidly gain weight on their mother’s rich milk.
This annual spectacle draws nature lovers and photographers alike. It’s a chance to witness these amazing animals up close in their natural environment, all while respecting the conservation efforts that keep this habitat safe for them. Donna Nook’s viewing area ensures visitors can enjoy this unique experience without disturbing the seals.

Grey Seal pup at Donna Nook Lincolnshire - Peeping over the sand dunes,only a couple of Days old this One.
Our three pups turned 15 today. From right, Cholie, Salty and in back Frodo. They are joined by their older sister Sadie front left. And we're thinking of and missing their litter mate, our dear, sweet Ruby Darlin'. These are the last dogs we raised from puppies, we still call them "the pups."
I have to say it is not such an easy thing to get these dogs to pose for a photo. We will celebrate with a party and "pup-cakes" this weekend.
BTW, if anyone is thinking of criticizing me, those are spruce cones back there, not dog turds. ;-) However, other criticisms are welcome.
Point Lobos State Park, California
On the beach were resting seal pups. I think the green number is glued to his forehead. I read that somewhere that when they rescue a seal pup, they tag them before release. It's an odd thing to see

I wanted to finish the little Frodo series with a short video, but I can't get it to upload, then I found some old prints....
Last Tuesday I had the good fortune to witness and photograph the birth of an Elephant Seal Pup. From my first shot to the birth it only took about 1 1/2 minutes! As soon as the baby emerged a flock of gulls arrived to 'clean up' the afterbirth and photo bombed many of my shots, but I was still able to document the whole process. My favorite shot is of the pup (totally covered with sand) seeing mom for the first time. It is a sweet moment with both mom and pup gazing at each other with curled pink tongues.
I just learned a few things about the potted palm tree on my upstairs deck. Unless I'm mistaken, it's a "sago palm." (Which -- in spite of its name and its appearance -- is actually not a palm at all; it's a cycad, one of the most ancient of plants that has been around since prehistoric times.) The beautiful new growths coming up from the base under the soil are called pups. They can be removed gently from the mother tree, then potted, and will grow. I also learned that all parts of the plant are poisonous to humans and animals if ingested, and the seeds especially have a high level of the toxin cycasin.
