Gracias al apoyo de AccionXelarte, el próximo domingo 26 de abril participaré en la subasta en mi cuenta de Instagram, Acción X el Arte entre las 12 y las 10 hora peninsular española. El arte en España es uno de los sectores más precarios y más necesarios, el arte es lo que nos distingue de los animales.
Pondré en venta la serie Errance, unas fotografías que están en el libro fotográfico editado en Francia llamado Errance. No os la perdáis ! #accionxelarte #accionoorelarte
Os dejo aquí algunas de las fotografías que estarán en la subasta.
Andean aka Spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus) enjoying an enrichment box filled with a variety of treats. Born in the Salisbury Zoo Maryland on 1/23/2015, she is now living at the San Diego Zoo.
San Diego has been working closely with the Spectacled Bear Conservation Society in Peru since 2006 in an effort to learn more about these elusive bears and help ensure their survival.

This is the third in a short series of images I made one night in Waterfront Park under the cherry blossoms. The other two in this series have already been posted and they are back there somewhere, lurking the past of my stream. The idea was to make a series of self-portraits around the loose concept of vulnerability. Anyway, was just trying some new things, like usual.
Never fails to amaze me what that simple, plastic Holga can do.

I tried adding a background texture again. I find it pretty funny to add a chalkboard 'cause the model is going to be a teacher soon.

Did you know, snow leopards cannot roar due to the physiology of their throat, and instead make a non-aggressive puffing sound called a 'chuff'?

Beautiful Vulnerability
by
Lucy Godden
Wide eyed you take shelter
Under the boughs of this tall tree,
In the pale moonlight darkness,
You struggle to see
Pointed branches,
You catch a glimpse of the way,
The direction is yours,
In the shrill wind you sway
Each day a new leaf,
you grow, you grow,
'Til eventualy a tall elm,
The unquenched need to know
Your roots will always lead you back to me,
From the seed that has sprouted,
Your beautiful vulnerability.

The South African giraffe or Cape giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) is a subspecies of giraffe ranging from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique. It has rounded or blotched spots, some with star-like extensions on a light tan background, running down to the hooves. In 2016, the population was estimated at 31,500 individuals in the wild.
The South African giraffe has dark, somewhat rounded patches "with some fine projections" on a tawny background colour. The spots extend down the legs and get smaller. The median lump of males is less developed.
The South African giraffe is found in northern South Africa, southern Botswana, southern Zimbabwe, and south-western Mozambique. After local extinctions in various places, the South African giraffes have been reintroduced in many parts of Southern Africa, including in Swaziland. They are common in both in and outside of protected areas.
South African giraffes usually live in savannahs and woodlands where food plants are available. Giraffes are herbivorous animals. They feed on leaves, flowers, fruits and shoots of woody plants such as Acacia.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the body that administers the world’s official endangered species list, announced in 2016 that it was moving the giraffe from a species of Least Concern to Vulnerable status in its Red List of Threatened Species report. That means the animal faces extinction in the wild in the medium-term future if nothing is done to minimize the threats to its life or habitat.
An adult male sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) basks in the open in his conspicuous breeding colours. Not only is he vulnerable to predators such as kestrels but he is also on a particular scrap of heath that requires urgent management (although a small amount was done last winter) to prevent gorse encroachment. Five years ago I recorded around 60 animals in less than half one hectare, yesterday numbers seen were around 10% of that. Taken during a licensed survey, and the individual lizard was not disturbed.
lots of variety here...purple swamphens, black-winged stilts, which are residents, Eurasian teal and Garganey which are winter visitors, and the raptor, a marsh harrier...
Appreciate life, it's fragile. Its delicate. Know that this in this world you are not bestowed everything which you ever dream of. For some, their dreams are close, yet unreachable. No matter what happens, one thing remains, if ye want it. Togetherness. Hold on to it. Let no storm weaken you.

We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy. ~Walter Anderson
With sincere, undying graditude to my husband for taking me as I am, breaking down the wall of protection around my heart, and allowing me to trust again. Your unconditional love for me has brought a depth of healing you may not ever fully comprehend.
For 365 and FGR's group pick Black and White Self Portraits.
View On Black I never thought I would say that, but it does look cool.
Now I love my stages of vulnerability because in life I have to allow myself to be in situations where I could fail, but to be in this place feeling completely comfortable, without fear or any worries and be aware that things may not work out as I planned or want them to but instead of this being a reason for me to not move forward for it to be a motivation because it is allowing me to experience something new, it is only when I leave my comfort zones that I truly grow and evolve and learn something new about myself and the world we live in. And for me most importantly this is an aspect of love, of applying love into my daily life, I always want to keep an open heart and an open mind & if I were to instead close myself off to every experience, every situation that made me feel a little vulnerable or because of the chance that I might fail would be like I’m closing myself off to love completely and that is something that I never ever want to do, I always want to be open to love.

i was always kind of scared when we were alone
my open arms, they were so vulnerable
they were extended - fragile and thin
just pulling you in.
you tried to hold on
but then you let go
why was i
so vulnerable
Hummingbirds are very territorial and they often attack each other using their beaks as swords.Once I saw one pin another on the ground standing on his wings while he poked him in his chest with his beak.

taken on my old point and shoot
first time I've taken a real self portrait since the summertime
taken while ill, in the early hours of the morning
This is my black. I alone
Am the authority, and I know no further
Than I've got, if that be anywhere.
I inherited no maps.

Share with you one of my favourite songs :) The Rose
The moment you get over the fear of losing and rejection, you will realize how close you can be with that person.
The more you try to hide things that we think will scare the person off, the greater distance is created.
It requires courage to make yourself vulnerable so as to enjoy the deep connection, genuine intimacy and love.

Channel-billed Toucan has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22726222/94915148
Toucans are a classic tropical family, known for their colours and very large bills. In the tropics, there is often rain as can be seen here. (This image was taken from the verandah of Asa Wright Nature Centre, a great place to hang out during a shower — or anytime, the birds are fantastic!) This bird is in a Cecropia tree, recognized by the large leaves.
Sambar deer horns are highly valued which often makes the animal a target for hunters.It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.
The Norber Erratics are the finest example of glacial erratic rocks in Britain. Thanks to an unusual geological phenomenon, many of the dark ancient boulders are balanced, precariously, on white plinths of limestone, forming natural sculptures.
The erratics are massive sandstone and slate Silurian boulders that were carried to their current location by a glacial ice sheet. They were deposited on the limestone shelf when the glaciers melted at the end of the last ice age, between 12,000 and 17,000 years ago.
The strange balancing act is the result of centuries of erosion that followed, whittling away the more vulnerable limestone except for in the protected areas directly below the older Silurian rock. There are over a hundred of these peculiar perched erratics scattered around the slopes of Ingleborough Hill in Yorkshire Dales National Park, with the slate boulders generally found higher up the hill than the sandstone.
