The impact of loss can vary depending on the age of the person experiencing it.
A Columbia University study found that losing a loved one can accelerate biological ageing, which is the gradual decline in how well organs, tissues, and cells function. This can lead to an earlier onset of chronic diseases and mortality.
The death of a loved one triggers the body to produce cortisol, which can lower immune function. Older adults already have declining immune systems as part of ageing, so they are especially vulnerable to illness during grief.
Older adults may experience social isolation and loneliness after the death of a loved one. Loneliness can increase the risk of health conditions like depression, stroke, heart disease, and suicide.
"letting things slide" Sidmouth, Devon, UK.
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.

This tiny, delicate little antelope is a dik-dik. They know they are vulnerable and scatter quickly when approached. What is remarkable is that this little once did not bolt and look how it is camouflaged.
It is different to capture them as they are gone in a wink of an eye. Their sensitive ears and big eyes help protect against predators. Look at those beautiful eyes. I'll show a close up portrait in a later post.

Great Wednesday everyone!
Pose - by yours truly ;) Trying to get back to making poses (slo..w..ly... lol)

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)
....a work on the subject of emotion using dolls, they express it so well !

Chestnut-collared Longspur has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22721040/180649581
This image of a breeding male Chestnut-collared Longspur about to land on a favourite perch clearly shows the long, spur-like hind toes that give the four members of the genus their common name. This image was taken near Travers Reservoir in southern Alberta, Canada.
Now, don't be fooled-- some say that this jungle beauty entices their prey into coming to them...

Vulnerable tree.
It was rather amusing to embellish this fragile tree, by giving it a fanciful crown. No significant post processing, but waiting for the right illuminated cloud to pass. The rising sun didn't reach the valley yet. Despite the modest light, the soundless lake surface gives rise to remarkable reflections.
I'm very grateful for all your visits and would like to thank you for stopping by, and any comments you may leave. Much appreciated, Frans...

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.

Happy Sliders Sunday!
Drinking water seems a real struggle and dangerous for giraffes. When they do, their neck is too short to reach the ground, so they take at least 15 minutes to spread their legs and bend down in an awkward position that makes them vulnerable to predators.
This giraffe came to the waterhole during sunset at Etosha National Park. Under the sunset, its reflection was glowing.

Female African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana) named Mkhaya or "Kaia" for short, born September 26, 2018 to mom "Umngani".
Little Kaia and her mom were in the training yard for a late afternoon meet-and-greet with the keepers. Umngani was working on a full range of husbandry behaviors while little Kaia was just getting used to interacting with the humans - getting back scratches, trunk tickles, and treats.

when something is taken when you least expect it.
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.

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.
