Ticks are small, parasitic arachnids that can carry and transmit various diseases to humans and animals. Some common diseases associated with ticks include:
1. Lyme Disease: It is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted primarily by the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) in North America. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and a characteristic skin rash.
2. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF): It is caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii and is transmitted by the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) and the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni). Symptoms include high fever, headache, rash, and muscle aches.
3. Babesiosis: It is caused by microscopic parasites of the Babesia family and is transmitted primarily by the black-legged tick. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and anemia.
4. Ehrlichiosis: It is caused by bacteria of the Ehrlichia family and is transmitted by the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum) and the black-legged tick. Symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches.
To avoid tick-borne diseases, consider the following preventive measures:
1. Wear protective clothing: When venturing into tick-prone areas like forests or grassy areas, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Tuck pants into socks and opt for light-colored clothing to spot ticks easily.
2. Use tick repellents: Apply an EPA-approved insect repellent containing DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) or picaridin on exposed skin. Permethrin-based repellents can be used on clothing, shoes, and camping gear to repel ticks.
3. Perform regular tick checks: After spending time outdoors, thoroughly check your body for ticks. Pay close attention to areas such as the scalp, behind the ears, underarms, groin, and the back of the knees. Promptly remove any attached ticks using tweezers, grasping them as close to the skin's surface as possible.
4. Create a tick-safe environment: Keep lawns and outdoor recreational areas well-maintained. Clear leaf litter, tall grasses, and brush around your home to minimize tick habitats. Consider using tick control products or seek professional pest control services if necessary.
5. Check pets and gear: Pets can carry ticks indoors, so ensure regular tick checks and appropriate tick prevention measures for your pets. Examine camping gear, backpacks, and other outdoor equipment for ticks before bringing them indoors.
Remember, early detection and proper removal of ticks can reduce the risk of contracting tick-borne diseases. If you develop symptoms after a tick bite, seek medical attention promptly and inform your healthcare provider about the exposure to ticks.

It rained - a lot. At least for Portland. It rained fairly hard all day, only letting up late in the day. I risked my camera to get some shots of these water-resistant birds continuing their activities.

Cheetahs are very much at risk and currently classified as 'vulnerable' with only about 7000 left in the wild. This is as a result of a variety of reasons including habitat loss, contact with humans, climate change and also the fact that babies have extremely low survival rates with some studies suggesting the figure is as low as 10%.
I was very fortunate to see a mother and three youngsters when I was in the Maasai Mara in Kenya on my last trip. The good news is that this mother's litter of three(one pictured here) all made it to adulthood. Unfortunately a while after I was in the area the mother, Kweli, was reported to have disappeared.

dedication
this picture is dedicated to the valiant, tireless and overworked women and men around the world who, at great risk to themselves and to their families and friends, fight, sacrifice and increasingly die heroically trying to treat, save, comfort and console the infected and keep safe their communities.
in this time of great human suffering, uncertainty and angst, my heart weeps for these amazing people with tears of profound awe, sorrow and, most of all, thanks.
please, if you are able, raise your voice and your wallet to support and fight hard from the outside so that those on the front lines inside can do their best safely with the personal protective equipment they terribly need and so-richly deserve.
life is short. please do not forget to share the love you have while you can.
finally, many thanks to each of you for your consistent, heartwarming friendship and kind words of support. you put smiles on my face each and every day and i am deeply appreciative.
keep the faith and be safe.

While hunting for a composition, I came across this rocky area at Marshall Point. It looked like it had potential, so I examined it further from various perspectives. As in Risk Management, one hedges against the future hoping for the best outcome. And since it is always a crap shoot, we do our best to prepare as best we can.
The sunset may or may not arrive. But 80% of successful landscape photography is being there. After that, having a scenic landscape combined with sunset colours, help with the final result. The rest is in the form of technique and can be found on numerous YouTube videos.
The Milkweed Leaf Beetle lives much of its life eating and reproducing on the Swamp Milkweed plant. Though it can fly, it has little need to, once it is established on a plant. These Beetles slice open veins on the leaves and drink the liquid that pools out. Despite appearances, they aren’t related to ladybugs, and are quite a bit larger and more solid.
One of the things that many creatures feeding on milkweed have in common is the orange and black markings, most famously associated with Monarch butterflies. It is thought that other creatures resident on milkweed have that colouring as a result of natural selection. In effect, the creatures that look like Monarchs (i.e. are orange and black) are thought to share their toxicity to predators. This is called aposematism, and it is a neat thing to find in a swamp!
Like other imitators that flash the colours of danger, however, the Milkweed Leaf Beetle doesn’t actually pose a risk to predators (that is the genius of aposematism). While Monarchs absorb and retain concentrations of cardiac glycosides from the milkweed that pose a risk to predators, these Beetles do not store those chemicals in their bodies.
The winter weather is absolutely brutal as Metra 143 heads outbound with a Union Pacific Northwest Line train, passing under the searchlights at Clybourn Junction, Chicago. Windchills were well below -20 degrees F, and raw, ripping wind was driving powdery snow into every crevice. Risking frostbite and hypothermia like an idiot, I stood outside on the platform for over an hour here to document the (Covid-reduced) "rush" in some of the most intense winter conditions Chicago had seen in a few years.
This lion took over the small remaining piece of the feast but he sure risks loosing it as he chases off the vultures

I hold my breath and Mark is ready to catch a video😄 as Dustin stands at the edge of the Lake on a steel groin. He’s focused only on the shot, balanced above the water with that familiar mix of boldness and calm. It’s a moment that captures exactly who he is steady, curious, and always willing to step a little closer to the edge to see the world in his own way.
Catecholentwickler haben den Nachteil, daß sie als giftig eingestuft sind und als Warnhinweis auf der Flasche ein Totenkopf-Piktogram aufweisen müssen. Auch das Hydrochinon der Lithentwickler ist als gesundheitsschädlich eingestuft. Bei Konzentraten besteht für Anwender allerdings nur eine Gefahr, wenn man das Zeug schluckt oder darin badet. Es macht also eigentlich keinen Sinn, das Catechol aus dem Zweitentwickler nach Lith zu verbannen. Ein Austausch gegen eine ungefährliche Substanz ist möglich, aber nicht ökonomisch. Der Ersatzstoff ist erheblich teurer, im Grunde also eine nutzlose Spielerei. Ein erster Versuch zeigt auch eine etwas kontrastreichere Wirkung, was sich aber noch ändern ließe.

Catechol developers have the disadvantage that they are classified as toxic and must have a skull and crossbones pictogram on the bottle as a warning. The hydroquinone in lith developers is also classified as harmful to health. With concentrates, however, users are only at risk if they swallow the product or bathe in it. It therefore makes no sense to ban catechol from the second developer after lith. Replacing it with a harmless substance is possible, but not economical. The substitute substance is considerably more expensive, so it is basically a useless gimmick. A first attempt also shows a somewhat higher-contrast effect, but this could still be changed.

We're having a typical summer's day out here: nice in the morning, with a rising risk of thundershowers etc in the afternoon. This is one of our favourite sections of Fish Creek Provincial Park, near Mallard Point. Unexpected, I was able to add two new birds to my 2022 bird count. The Savannah Sparrow was #87. I am currently at 123 different birds...
I was noticing that many of the sparrows were 'posing' like this, gathering food in their beaks, then staying for a while on a shrub. What I think they were doing was looking out for predators, because their next stop would be the nest...
Risk and Reward - A New Year's photography resolution for me was to capture wildlife in the elements more. Photographing in the rain can certainly be risky (requires great care with equipment), but also rewards one with some of the best behavioral and artistic image opportunities.
I spent several hours photographing this particular male hummingbird who I've come to know over the years. I took almost 1,500 images, and of all those, this was the only one where the lighting, pose, colors, sharpness, and raindrops all came together to convey the rainforest mood I sought to capture.
I look forward to capturing more unique images in the rain this year!

Tonight, many people in Cumbria are at risk from severe and dangerous flooding.....my heart goes out to them. Let's hope dry London has taken notice....my son was flooded in July and has just returned to his house in December.

Limestone Quarry in Faxe, Zealand.
It is hard to imagine, that 20,000 years ago, this area was covered by massive ice.
63 million years of history, exposed by Denmarks largest man-made hole in the ground: A 110 acre open quarry that has been the site of limestone production for over 900 years.
