The three female African lions we've been following left the watering hole and set a path back into the bush. We suspected (and were correct) that the lead lioness was heading to where her cubs were hidden. Clearly our presence does not seem to disturb them.

For a giraffe, drinking water generates a conflict of interest between supplying a vital need (drinking water) and give up controlling foreign's threats. What do you prefer: live or stop controlling?

Black-legged Kittiwake has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable
www.iucnredlist.org/species/22694497/155617539
The perches appear precarious, but for Black-legged Kittiwake (such as the two on angled rocks in this image) such surroundings are their home during breeding season. Locations like these cliffs near the lighthouse at Svörtuloft in the Vesturland region of Iceland provide sanctuary from predators and easy access to feeing grounds during the time when they are rearing vulnerable young. Another Black-legged Kittiwake wheels through the air, one of many birds of several species that utilize this terrain. This was near the small town of Hellissandur on the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

Digital photographic fine art of the Giant Panda. The giant panda, also known as the panda bear (or simply the panda), is a bear species endemic to China. It is characterised by its bold black-and-white coat and rotund body. The name "giant panda" is sometimes used to distinguish it from the red panda. In 2016, it was reclassified from "endangered" to "vulnerable", affirming decade-long efforts to save the panda. In July 2021, Chinese authorities also reclassified the giant panda as vulnerable.
I read a story from animal rights activists about something that happened in my town. A cat, loved by the locals, was let inside a company building every evening so it wouldn’t have to be outside in the cold. One day, the cat didn’t show up in the evening because someone tortured it to death.
This is just an average story from the daily reality of animal protection. Hell is created by humans on Earth.
The photo shows a cat from a colony. These cats are neutered and fed.
I've had this capture in my head for a long time, and once a misty morning arrived I took myself to this lane and waited for someone to pass by. I waited until the guy in this image was just starting to fade into the mist before starting my captures. My aim was to capture both the solitude of a lone figure in the mist, and the vulnerability of a single person compared with the greatness of nature towering above, and framing the image. The ethereal light was just an added bonus.

Over 748 million people do not have access to safe water and 2.5 billion do not have improved sanitation, a condition that keeps people in a cycle of poor health, insecurity, and economic vulnerability.

Wattled crane (Grus carunculata), a large, threatened species of crane found in wetlands and grasslands of eastern and southern Africa.

With the water being low in the Sand River, elephants feed on the grass in the middle of the river and then cross over to the other side to continue their journey.
The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal with bulls reaching a shoulder height of up to 4 m (13 ft). Both sexes have tusks, which erupt when they are 1–3 years old and grow throughout life.
It is distributed across 37 African countries and inhabits forests, grasslands and woodlands, wetlands and agricultural land. It is a social mammal, traveling in herds composed of cows and their offspring. Adult bulls usually live alone or in small bachelor groups. It is a herbivore, feeding on grasses, creepers, herbs, leaves and bark.
Since 2004, it has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is threatened foremost by habitat destruction, and in parts of its range also by poaching for meat and ivory.
They can weigh 7 t (7.7 short tons). The heaviest male on record weighed 10.4 t (11.5 short tons) and was shot in 1974 in Angola. Females are much smaller at about 2.2–2.6 m (7.2–8.5 ft) tall at the shoulder and up to 4 t (4.4 short tons) in weight.
Elephants attain their maximum stature when they complete the fusion of long-bone epiphyses, occurring in males around the age of 40 and females around the age of 25.

A tawny eagle sits on the end of a dead branch in the warm late day light in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. It lives in open dry habitats such as the savannah plains. Once plentiful, it is now a vulnerable species due to loss of habitat and poisoning from scavenging on poisoned carrion. (Wildlife poachers poison carcasses so that scavengers can't help anti-poaching rangers locate poached wildlife. By circling above dead animals, raptors act as an early detection system for poaching activity).

This bridge was fortified in the 1940's; underneath if you go down to the river bank you can see where the lookout posts were. This is at the top of the Cuckmere Valley, near Alfriston, Sussex, UK. It was a concern that this area was vulnerable to invasion. I always feel a sense of loneliness at this bridge. Somehow forlorn. Waiting. Some sweethearts did not come home.

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!

"May we who are merely inconvenienced
Remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
Remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home
Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
Remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
Remember those that have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
Remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
Remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country,
let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen.
