in the late afternoon we found this female Tiger walking on a sandy road while she was marking her territory ( Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India )
It is the same female as in the image in the first comment box.
After a while she lied down and started flehmening.
The Flehmen response (also called the Flehmen position, Flehmen reaction, flehming, or flehmening) is a behaviour whereby an animal curls back its upper lip exposing its front teeth, inhales with the nostrils usually closed and then often holds this position for several seconds.
It may be performed over a site or a substance of particular interest to the animal (e.g. urine or faeces) or may be performed with the neck stretched and the head held high in the air.
Flehmen is performed by a wide range of mammals including ungulates and felids.
The behaviour facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ located above the roof of the mouth via a duct which exits just behind the front teeth of the animal. ( Source: Wikipedia )

I normally see this behavior in the fall during rut season. However, we saw it a couple of times during our last moose outing.
A male lion (panthera leo) exhibiting the Flehmen response. Whilst this may look like a threatening baring of teeth, the purpose of this action is to draw the scent of other lion's urine into the Jacobson's organ. This facilitates recognition of other pride members and/or a lioness in oestrous. Photographed in The Kalahari, in Botswana.

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

The beauty here arises from the interplay of perfectly normal physical and biological processes:
Sunlight is scattered by the moist morning air. Tiny water droplets in the mist primarily deflect the short-wavelength components of the light, while warm, yellow-gold light remains dominant. This creates the soft rays and the warm color palette. At the same time, leaves, grass, and water absorb and reflect light differently, creating contrasts and depth.
Our brains perceive this as "beautiful" because they have an evolutionarily positive response to patterns such as smooth transitions, natural symmetries, and color harmonies—for millions of years, these signaled safe, life-friendly environments.
In short: Physics shapes the light, biology shapes the landscape, and our brains create beauty from it.
Unser Gehirn schafft Schönheit
Die Schönheit entsteht hier aus dem Zusammenspiel ganz normaler physikalischer und biologischer Prozesse:
Das Sonnenlicht wird durch die feuchte Morgenluft gestreut. Winzige Wassertröpfchen im Nebel lenken vor allem die kurzwelligen Anteile des Lichts um, während warmes, gelb-goldenes Licht dominanter bleibt. Dadurch entstehen die weichen Strahlen und die warme Farbpalette. Gleichzeitig absorbieren und reflektieren Blätter, Gras und Wasser Licht unterschiedlich, was Kontraste und Tiefe erzeugt.
Unser Gehirn empfindet das als „schön“, weil es auf Muster wie sanfte Übergänge, natürliche Symmetrien und Farbharmonien evolutionär positiv reagiert – sie signalisierten über Millionen Jahre hinweg sichere, lebensfreundliche Umgebungen.
Kurz gesagt: Physik formt das Licht, Biologie formt die Landschaft, und unser Gehirn macht daraus Schönheit.

Thank you all for your kind responses.
This Kestrel had just swooped down in the lane before perching on the ridge of a nearby roof where it continued to look for prey.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
Je ne fais que très peu de photos en ce moment et ne vient que deux fois par semaine sur Flickr ...

Lions aren’t the only ones that do it, but in my opinion they do it best. They smell with their mouth using an olfactory sense organ they have behind their front teeth. They scrunch up their face to restrict their nostrils, expose those large canines and “sniff” the air with their mouth. It’s called the Flehmen Response, or simply, Flehming. Lions have community mailboxes which I’ve mentioned in previous posts. It’s a tree or bush where they deposit a message with their urine. Maybe something like “I’m patrolling and will protect my territory.” When they come to the mailbox, they will invariably demonstrate a Flehmen Response to make sure they don’t miss any messages. I’ve also seen males do it around females, obviously interested in something other than territory. (Panthera Leo) (Sony a1, 400mm lens @ f/6.3, 1/500 second, ISO 1250)
A Red Deer stag curls his lip in the Flehmen response. He's tasting the air to see if any of the Hinds in his harem are in season.

The National War Memorial, also known as “The Response,” is a cenotaph symbolizing the sacrifice of all Canadian Armed Forces personnel who have served Canada in time of war in the cause of peace and freedom--past, present and future. The memorial is the site of the national Remembrance Day Ceremony on November 11.

In response to my question about locations of good abandoned farmhouses, if any, in the area, a young fellow whom I met on the road said that he had a really creepy one. Of course, I said: "that is exactly what I want." He led me to this one.
This is the view from a distance in the driveway. It appears that there is a light in a window, which would make this uber-creepy. It is also interesting because I recently found an unexplained potential supernatural event at another abandoned (even though I don't believe in such things).
This one is explicable however. It is a refection of the setting sun in some of the remaining window glass. It was visible for only part of my circumnavigation of the house. Contrariwise, perhaps an apparition ceased creating this effect?
Regardless, this is a fine abandoned farmhouse which would have been creepy even without the glowing window. Close ups from other angles will be posted in the future.
A strange name for a terrace (town house) on Markyate's High Street. Behind the Georgian facade you would find walls going back to the mid-17th century. The gate does also tell you that small coaches or at least horses could be accommodated in the backyard. Before the railway arrived, almost all the houses in the village were in some way or another related to the support for travellers on their way between London and the Midlands.

During Swift Response 2023 exercise I was able to attend some practices at Bardenas Reales shooting range in Spain by USAF A10s. No real fire (not even BRRRRRRRT, because of the ammunition) but great flying demos, some of them for the media. A great day!
Mono-printed resist and discharge dyed silk - 63cm x 63cm
This is one of several pieces that have been created through a series of processes designed to help me 'get out of my own way' with work aligned more to feelings and moods which arise as marks are made. Spontaneous responses backed up with confident experimentation.
I didn't care too much for this piece in it's earlier stages as the mono-printed ink was heavy and lacked the dynamic textures that had been created on the other pieces, but later, as the work developed, the darkness became a core feature in itself.
As with all abstract work, interpretations are personal to the viewer.
Who is the creator?
I do not generally post he same image twice with different "treatments", but my emotional response to these two variations was strong enough to push me to post this second version. For me, this is a more primeval, more elemental image, so I wanted to share it as well.
(A response to Quote the Raven )
The officers were satisfied. My manner had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct: --It continued and became more distinct: I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definiteness --until, at length, I found that the noise was not within my ears. No doubt I now grew very pale; --but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased --and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound --much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath --and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly --more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men --but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed --I raved --I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder --louder --louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God! --no, no! They heard! --they suspected! --they knew! --they were making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!
"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
In response to smittyguy, yes it was very windy as I took this from the back of a moving motorcycle. I gave it a pretty hefty crop to improve the composition and get rid of all the really blurry stuff in the foreground.
I love to go to movies. In a theatre with a crowd. The crowd is optional, but prefered...
I probably average one a week during the course of a year.
A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS AND WORTHLESS OPINIONS...
I hate arriving late for a movie. If the show is about to start... be prepared to see something else or buy tickets for the next showing. "I'm very anal about this". The last time I walked into a darkened theatre was the final installment of "Star Wars". This was only because I had already seen it... I like to have my popcorn and be seated before the coming attractions... "coming attractions" ARE a part of the movie experience. Commercials, on the other hand, suck.
Jodie Foster is the only movie star who's films I go to just because she's in them.
Russell Crow is my favorite actor. I am still miffed that he did not win the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind". A film which won "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best S. Actress", and "Best Writing". All for a movie in which every scene surrounds his character. losing to Denzel Washington(a very good performance) in "Training Day"(an ok film)... so wrong.
... that said. I do think Halle Berry was brilliant in "Monster's Ball". The last ten minutes alone were worthy of an Oscar nomination. She had very little dialogue during this part of the film. The emotions were conveyed in her facial expressions and body language. "Simply amazing"
"As Good As It Gets" is that rare movie where I leave the theatre wishing the characters would just keep going... the only film since then to bring out this response in me was "Friends With Money". A movie for which I have yet to lend to anyone who liked it.
n the early 1970s, when Chagall came to the city for work related to his mosaic installed outside Chase Tower, The Four Seasons. In response to the city’s enthusiasm for his work
and the Art Institute’s great support, the artist offered to create a set of stained-glass windows for the museum. Over the course of three years, plans were clarified, and in the end, Chagall determined that the windows would commemorate America’s bicentennial. The resulting six-panel work celebrates the country as a place of cultural and religious freedom, detailing the arts of music,
painting, literature, theater, and dance. Because of his admiration for Chicago and its strong commitment to public art during the 1960s and 1970s, Chagall chose to dedicate the work to Mayor Richard J. Daley, a great supporter of public art projects. The windows were presented with much fanfare at a formal unveiling, hosted by the Auxiliary Board of the Art Institute, on May 15, 1977. He was 90 years old at the completion of the windows.
