I am confused about what to title this photo because it is also about opening up spaces and accepting differences. Suggestions are welcome!

The Barrington Land Iguana or Santa Fe Land Iguana (Conolophus pallidus) is a species of lizard in the Iguanidae family. It is one of three species of Conolophus. It is endemic to Santa Fe Island in the Galapagos.
Its generic name, Conolophus, is derived from two Greek words: conos (κώνος) meaning "spiny" and lophos (λοφος) meaning "crest" or "plume", denoting the spiny crests along their backs.
The Barrington Land Iguana is similar in every detail to the Galapagos Land Iguana except that the Barrington Island Iguana is paler yellow in color with a longer more tapered snout and more pronounced dorsal spines. The Barrington Land Iguana grows to a length of three feet with a body weight of up to twenty-five pounds.
Being cold-blooded, they absorb heat from the sun basking on volcanic rock and at night sleep in burrows to conserve their body heat. These iguanas also enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the island's finches; the birds remove parasites and ticks providing relief to the iguana and food for the birds.
Barrington Land iguanas are primarily herbivorous, however some individuals have shown that they are opportunistic carnivores supplementing their diet with insects, centipedes and carrion. Because fresh water is scarce on the islands it inhabits, the Land Iguana obtains the majority of its moisture from the prickly-pear cactus that makes up 80% of its diet: fruit, flowers, pads, and even spines. During the rainy season it will drink from available standing pools of water and feast on yellow flowers of the Genus Portulaca. Listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. - Source Wikipedia
Month 5/12
So me and my friend Alex started our own little project together. Every month, we're going to pick a concept. Every month, we are going to use up a roll (or two) of film on that concept. This month was vulnerability.
Replaced (again) because you like this one more.

Fossas are cat-like carnivores endemic to the island of Madagascar and are related to the mongoose.

A very young, about 8 week old Otter cub having its first trip down to the beach away from the sanctity of its holt - the mother would have hidden them in this rocky cave on the shore line for safety although there are no known predators on the Islands.

At least two rhinos are killed every day because of the mistaken belief that their horns cure fevers, blood disorders, cancers, and hangovers. In fact, rhino horns are made of the same material as human fingernails and hair. The place where a rhino horn is of most value? On a rhino. There are five rhinoceros species: black, white, Sumatran, Javan, and greater one-horned. Black rhinos are actually gray in color. The distinguishing factor between black and white rhinos in Africa are their lips; black rhinos have a pointed upper lip that helps them grasp leaves from branches above ground level (browsers), while white rhinos (also gray in color) have a square upper lip that helps them pluck grasses off the ground (grazers).

There's more to this story than just two lions mating as Mr Lion is one of the three 'Sala's Males' who had just taken over the pride - or what is currently left of the pride - and Mrs Lion is trying to protect her newborn litter. A lioness who has recently given birth would not normally be receptive to a male, but when faced with the very likely potential threat of having her cubs killed by a new pride lion, she may use her female charms to confuse him. And that's exactly what she was doing when we found them.
This is the Rekero Pride, a pride that has gone through some difficult times over the past couple of years and a pride that has now split. This lioness and her sister both have cubs. Her sister's were born a few months ago and from what we could see had been accepted by the new males. However, this lioness still had her newborns hidden in the den, so mating with the new males so early on in their relationship may confuse them into thinking they are theirs. When one male mates, his coalition partners generally don't come near. If the lioness then mates with another male, the situation gets more complicated and the males get more confused!
The female of the species is clever.
As a point of interest, the cubs in this pride - the three older ones and the newborns - would have been sired by one of the famous Four Musketeer coalition as the Rekero Pride was in their control prior to these new, much younger, males arriving on the scene.
CSX U072, operating with the local crew out of NMJ, storms west past the vulnerable Lincoln Depot approximately 13 miles after departing Mattawamkeag. Leading the charge is CSX 9025, which is rumored to be the last operating Dash 9 on the entire CSX system. Ironically enough, this is the first CSX widecab to reach the far east end since the CSX takeover, doubtful it will be the last but it sure is interesting to see up here. Second in line is the equally as unique CSX 9280, the only ex. Pan Am unit painted into CSX colors. Trailing are 40 cars from interchange with Eastern Maine Railway.

The whistling heron (Syrigma sibilatrix) is a medium-sized, often terrestrial heron of South America. There are two subspecies, the southern S. s. sibilatrix and the northern S. s. fostersmithi.
This species eats any small dryland and marsh animals it can catch. It often holds still but also walks very slowly and may use more active techniques, even running after prey or catching flying insects (notably dragonflies) from a standing position. It may allow humans to approach fairly close rather than leave a good feeding spot. It typically feeds alone or in pairs, but is sometimes seen in groups up to 100, especially before roosting for the night.
Although patchily distributed, it is common in many areas, with no population considered vulnerable. It benefits from deforestation and some agriculture. As a successful heron of dry tropical country, it has been compared to two species originating in the Old World: the cattle egret and the black-headed heron.
Skeletal resemblances to the night herons have led to a debate about whether the whistling heron is related to them, but since the 1980s it has been at least provisionally considered a relative of the genus Egretta, with little doubt that it belongs in a genus of its own. - Wikipedia.

The South African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus), also known as the Namibian cheetah, is the most numerous and the dominate cheetah subspecies native to Southern Africa. Since 1986, it has been classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN. The South African cheetah live mainly in the lowland areas and deserts of the Kalahari, the savannahs of Okavango Delta and the grasslands of the Transvaal region in South Africa. In Namibia, cheetahs are mostly found in farmlands. -Wikipedia

Yesterday i was both....today i was just exhausted....tomorrow...who knows?
i wonder if this is what it feels like to be voted off the island.
i shall remain in my bubble until i can no longer care...because not caring maybe is the cure for caring too much.
Hey guys! I'd really appreciate it if you'd like my page :)

They are so defenseless and vulnerable when they're this young and yet, there it was, out and about, even though making uncoordinated short flights, already learning all about the big scary world :) Happy Earth Day
The yellow on the wing tells me it's a Goldfinch but I could be wrong so help confirming or correcting the ID
Thank you very much Shaun for confirming the ID of the bird

Busseau sur Creuse, 23 France. Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking north towards the road bridge, which carries the D50 road across the river. I'm not sure how old this is, but I suspect it was built near the end of the 18thC. This was the first time I've used Foma 200 since it's recall, and sad to say, it still seems very vulnerable to scratches, but this might be due in part to the fairly primitive finish of the Hongmei! Taken for International Commie Camera Days 2013, with a 1970's Chinese made folding camera.
