I've really been having the urge to shoot naked lately and most of my pics have been with skin I've finally figured it out today. I've been feeling very vulnerable lately I feel like I've been putting my self out there in all aspects of my life and its very scary.
But I've done it knowingly and on purpose and I'm not gonna run scared into my hole again! I'm staying out there and letting people in letting people see me and whatever happens because of it will happen and I'm not gonna run away!
A really good example is this "person" (hey you) some of you asked about since I wrote what I wrote on day 141 and after ive replied "NO" to your question "do you have a boy friend?" the response was the same " be careful!! You might get hurt" but that’s exactly the point. No I don’t want to get hurt, nobody does, but Its about putting myself out there I have to be in those situations that make me FEEL!! In those situations that make me vulnerable I've been staying away from that for years! And if I want to learn how to open my heart I have to start doing things that are scary! And I have to go on roads I don’t know where they will lead me but I have to go !! I have to be there
Besides my old and wise soul knows that no one can ever hurt me only I can … and my heart is by far the strongest most balanced and wise organ in my body! It is time though to let people in to have a look around…
The pics the curator chose for august are also making me feel very very very vulnerable and very OUT THERE very naked!! That’s also been throwing me off abit im starting to get really scared. People are starting to notice me and look at me I walk in the street and people are looking (well men mostly) but it never use to be like that! I was always in the back round never in the front! but i think Im in the front now ...of my own life!
And it’s a weird place to be when your use to the dark alleys of your anxieties! And i think that’s why I feel so naked… I feel raw!!
And now is when it gets tough! Staying in this rawness and not running away and putting all my guards up again! thats the hard part.
--------------------------
I hope I don’t sound arrogant and conceited!!
(see that me juging my self !!)

Be vulnerable
Be raw
Say how you
feel without fear
of judgement
and without
worrying about
the response.
Ask for what
you want.
When you're true
to yours by
speaking your truth
you've done all
you could do,
that's enough
peace of mind.

A masked lapwing or spur winged plover, Vanellus miles, chick that I think was less than two days old. Unfortunately, the parents did not stay very close to it so I did not get a reasonable photo of the chick and one of its parents together. Its height was less than the height of its parents knees (see next photo). I kept my distance because masked plovers will defend the chicks and they have spurs on their wings with which they could attack.
Masked lapwings do not always choose good places to nest. They have been known to nest on railway tracks. This pair probably nested on the ground in the backyard of a house. They would often go onto quite a busy road and did not stop the chick going onto the road.
Two of three female African lions (Pantera leo) that have been hunting together. After their meal, they went to the watering hole for a drink, then spent time relaxing and grooming nearby. The traces of blood on their coat are from their most recent hunt.

Taken as the sun was beginning to set and the giraffes had come to the waterhole , It is a common sight to see these giants arrange their bodies in such a way that they are able to get down to drink but it is a very risky and vulnerable moment for them. If there are any lions in the area they make for easy prey while drinking . Usually they come in groups and there is one or two that will stand guard. So gentle giants !!!!
wishing you an awesome and blessed day !!
In the Winter, White Squirrels have the advantage ,as they blend in with the snow on the ground and trees. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the year they stand out and are an easy target for prey. ( raptors,foxes,coyotes and domestic dogs)
Hyacinth Macaw- Vulnerable - The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot in the world and easily one of the most spectacular. It is an enormous bird weighing on average 1.5 kilograms (3.5 pounds) and is completely blue save its dark bill and bare yellow orbital ring and stripe at base of its lower mandible. It is completely dependent on the fruits of a number of palm species and has a necessarily massive bill to aid in the cracking of the tough exterior. Due to its dependence on palm fruit its range is regulated by the presence and abundance of its preferred species and is distributed in north central and south central Brazil into extreme north west Paraguay where it can be found in palm savannas, Mauritia palm stands, open dry woodland, gallery forest and the edge of humid lowland forest. doi.org/10.2173/bow.hyamac1.01
