So often, when we feel lost, adrift in our lives, our first instinct is to look out into the distance for the nearest shore. But that shore, that solid ground, is within us.
The anchor we are searching for is connection, and it is internal!

I could pretend this shot of Canis Major was a deliberate statement about the isolation and vulnerability of the human condition. It was actually, of course, a complete balls-up of a shot which nevertheless has a kinda something.
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) currently living with his brother at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and part of SDZG's Cheetah Breeding Center, one of only nine such facilities and part of the cheetah breeding coalition.
In 1900, there were over 100,000 cheetahs across their historic range. Today, an estimated 9,000 to 12,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Africa. In Iran, there are around 200 cheetahs living in small isolated populations.
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
It's always a thrill to come across these amazing predators whilst in the park... These mammals are extremely vulnerable to extinction and there are doubts about their chances of survival..

Great Wednesday everyone!
Pose - by yours truly ;) Trying to get back to making poses (slo..w..ly... lol)
So... this answers the age-old question "what's the last thing a rabbit sees?"
On a different note, if you're familiar with Sam the Eagle (The Muppets) then I think we know who was the inspiration for the character.

IUCN status: Vulnerable (VU)
The Sarus crane is the tallest flying bird in the world standing 152-156 cm tall with a wingspan of 240cm. It has a predominantly grey plumage with a naked red head and upper neck and pale red legs. It weighs 6.8-7.8 Kgs. It is a social creature, found mostly in pairs or small groups of three or four. Known to mate for life with a single partner, its breeding season coincides with heavy rainfall in monsoon. Nests are constructed on water in natural wetlands or in flooded paddy fields. Usually a clutch has only one or two eggs, which are incubated by both parents for a period of 26 to 35 days. The juveniles follow their parents from the day of birth.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation and are declining in large parts of the global range.
Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph).- Source Wikipedia

Human activity is the main reason for the decline in the Three-wattled Bellbird population; the declines in the population can be contributed to the immense amount of deforestation in it’s non-breeding range (BirdLife International, 2000). These areas have been deforested due to the logging industry and “the conversion of natural forests to banana plantations and cattle-ranches” (BirdLife International 2018). The conservation of the bellbird is centered around two of its key food resources and without those, the species is in jeopardy of extinction (Hamilton, 2017)

In Aug of 2018....The IUCN has up-graded this EVENING GROSBEAK from least concern to VULNERABLE statues.. (One step closer to "Endangered".)

I had my laptop stolen from my house... there was a robbery last night whilst we were all out of the house. I lost a lot of work.. both photographs and written work. I have learnt to back up my work the hard way. I haven't lost a massive amount, as I back up now and again, but still it's frustrating. We had CSI round today to take finger prints, was so interesting to watch them dust around.
So annoying, there were quite a few pictures I'd wanted to upload... but now they are gone :( this is just an old shot I found, I had more hair then haha.
Well apart from that I have had nice things happen to me. Having such fun work experience at the moment, assisted a filmed photo shoot for a magazine cover, and will be assisting another cover shoot again soon. Such great experience, I'm learning so much.

This little beauty suddenly burst open and revealed the stamens with lots of yellow pollen, something I had never seen before...
Dicentra's flowering period: April to May, arching sprays of dainty, rose-pink, heart-shaped flowers appear in late spring above fern-like, fresh green leaves.
They come in white and pale pink too.
A single flower of Dicentra spectabilis, about the size of the tip of my thumb, it will never cease to fill me with wonder and marvel at the intricacy and beauty of Nature.

My photograph 'Goodbye my lover' was used as album art for a song cover of Jeff Buckley's 'Last Goodbye' by musician Patrick Thomas!
Patrick is an extraordinarily talented musician & I'm beyond honored that he asked me to contribute art. I had never heard 'Last Goodbye' before & was completely astonished with how it perfectly represented the emotions I felt when I took that photograph.
To listen to Patrick's cover of 'Last Goodbye',click here.
I truly feel that forms of art can play off of each other to create an unbelievably powerful emotional experience.
This is one of them.
I send a warm thank you to Patrick Thomas for his compassion & gratitude!

Southern Ground-hornbills are both culturally and ecologically important. They are hailed across their sub-Saharan range as the thunderbirds or rainbirds. They are also a valuable flagship species for the savannah biome as they are easily recognizable and with such large spatial requirements, any successful conservation action in even one of their expansive territories benefits all the other savanna and grassland species, including threatened species such as vultures, wild dog, and cheetah. Their populations continue to decline towards being "Critically Endangered" in South Africa. The reasons for their decline are predominantly loss of habitat to bush-encroachment and development, overgrazing, large-scale monoculture, loss of large nesting trees, besides secondary poisoning, lead toxicosis from spent lead ammunition, and electrocution on transformer boxes.

We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone.
I'm sorry guys, the previous photo sucks! I'm going to re-do that concept probably!
Please press L or don't look at this at all.
Part IIII
So... these past days I was taking part on a workshop. I was invited to go as an assistant to the lecturing photographers, but I was then told that I'd participate on the challenges as well.
Which I wasn't prepared for.
The challenges consisted in telling a story with 36 clicks only. I started many and gave up on all of them, specially because it's impossible to tell a tale of self-portraits with 36 clicks only. I usually take 15 to get one good shot that I like.
Anyway, I ended up with a very mediocre story to show, which I'll share later, but going through the photos I took, I think that if I had more time and was allowed more clicks maybe I'd have something more interesting to show... hahaha
One of the things I learned from the other people participating on the workshop was to accept some kinds of light x shadow situations and angles that I wouldn't even think of using, but that actually work on a photo and look good and create an interesting atmosphere.
I took this photo on a friday morning and sunday morning we all presented a slideshow with our stories. And one of the slideshows was telling a very dramatic story, with a very dramatic kind of light.
This is the link to the video, if you wish to see: THE FARM INCIDENT (password = pwya)
If I hadn't seen Caio's slideshow I would have discarted this photo as a photo in which I had gotten the light wrong. Even if there is this vulnerability in the image which I like and which I so rarely see in myself. But in which I was most of the time during the workshop. I even had nightmares for two nights all going about my mediocrity. Heh...
In this photo, it seems like a moment in time was frozen as I was walking in to a scene. Me gusta.
