He made it on his own through a deadly desert. He crossed the ocean on a small boat that was hardly seaworthy. I think of my own childhood...
a (color) outtake of a series of black and white self portraits I'm taking for the cooper union hometest, that's entitled "descent into madness"
once it's complete, I'll upload the actual series in its entirety
I shot this through plastic
A recently fledged Blackbird Chick - wondering who I am. Snapped with my mobile phone.
The Blackbird - Turdus merula, is one of the most prolific of uk birds as it has adapted to live happily in woodland and house gardens. The female is the sole nest builder which takes about 11-14 days to make and will incubate the eggs but the cock bird will help feed his offspring. The pair will produce 2-3 broods a year and the youngsters fledge after 13-14 days. The song of the blackbird is delightful and will sing for hours.
The largest owl in Australia, this native apex predator has a wingspan over 1 m and is listed as vulnerable. This individual was hunting a flying fox nestled under the eaves of our garage in Epping NSW
The UK's coasts have many stretches of sheer cliffs where seabirds breed and the guillemot is one of the most numerous birds in the great 'seabird cities'. It comes to land only to nest, spending the rest of its life at sea, where it is vulnerable to oil spills. Dark brown and white, not as black as the similar razorbill, it has a 'bridled' form with a white ring round the eye and stripe behind it.
What they eat:
Fish and crustaceans
Measurements:
Length:
38-45cm
Wingspan:
64-73cm
Weight:
850-1,130 g
Population:
UK breeding:
950,000 pairs
110-120 year old male Galapagos Tortoise named "Oliver" from the Southern Isabela Island (Volcan Darwin region). Chelonoidis vicina. Living at the San Diego Zoo since 1928.
I am confused about what to title this photo because it is also about opening up spaces and accepting differences. Suggestions are welcome!

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.

This bird is protected as a natural monument in Japan.

South Island Kaka, Nestor meridionalis, 45 cm. / 17.7 in. Locally COMMON ENDEMIC that favors native forests in predator-free sanctuaries, occasionally visiting city and rural gardens and orchards. Nationally VULNERABLE with probably fewer than 10,000 remaining.
Ulva Island, Patterson Inlet, Stewart Island, New Zealand.

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.

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 :)

our naked, vulnerable places—when we allow for them—make us stronger and more brave.
[32:52, take a photograph that reveals something about yourself you’ve never shown before]
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.

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

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae). The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (331 to 551 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 401 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight. In the Pleistocene, the lion ranged throughout Eurasia, Africa and the Americas from the Yukon to Peru but today it has been reduced to fragmented populations in Sub-Saharan Africa and one critically endangered population in western India.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. - Source Wikipedia
If you weren't aware, our endemic Hoiho or Yellow-Eyed Penguin, is the rarest penguin on the planet with populations believed to be hovering around 1,700 breeding pairs. Around 600 are believed to be distributed around the South Island and Stewart Island, with the rest residing on our Sub-Antarctic Islands further south.
Predation by introduced pests, habitat loss, and human disturbance are all key contributing factors to the decline of the Hoiho's numbers with major and strict interventions having to be put in place to try and protect them where we can. Viewing hides, frequent trapping, and restricted access areas have been set up in coastal regions where these penguins frequent in an attempt to bolster their chances of rebounding.
Hoiho feed 2-25km out to sea each day, with parents taking turns incubating eggs, and frequently spend all day out at sea hunting, leaving early in the morning and returning late in the afternoon. Notoriously, upon returning to shore, individuals will usually wait and scope out the beach for threats before trekking up into the vegetation they've nested in. Humans are regularly identified as a threat and the penguin will wait in the water, slowly digesting the precious fish it needs to feed its chick with while it waits for the threat to pass.
To me, this image highlights this stunning penguins vulnerability. Something about the way this individual is precariously positioned above the ocean struck a chord with me about just how fragile their existence is. Living on battered, cold coastlines like this and dealing with as many day to day challenges as they do, it's no wonder that it's a struggle to survive. The least we can do for them is to ensure human related stresses and threats don't compound that further.
