I've really been having the urge to shoot naked lately and most of my pics have been with skin I've finally figured it out today. I've been feeling very vulnerable lately I feel like I've been putting my self out there in all aspects of my life and its very scary.
But I've done it knowingly and on purpose and I'm not gonna run scared into my hole again! I'm staying out there and letting people in letting people see me and whatever happens because of it will happen and I'm not gonna run away!
A really good example is this "person" (hey you) some of you asked about since I wrote what I wrote on day 141 and after ive replied "NO" to your question "do you have a boy friend?" the response was the same " be careful!! You might get hurt" but that’s exactly the point. No I don’t want to get hurt, nobody does, but Its about putting myself out there I have to be in those situations that make me FEEL!! In those situations that make me vulnerable I've been staying away from that for years! And if I want to learn how to open my heart I have to start doing things that are scary! And I have to go on roads I don’t know where they will lead me but I have to go !! I have to be there
Besides my old and wise soul knows that no one can ever hurt me only I can … and my heart is by far the strongest most balanced and wise organ in my body! It is time though to let people in to have a look around…
The pics the curator chose for august are also making me feel very very very vulnerable and very OUT THERE very naked!! That’s also been throwing me off abit im starting to get really scared. People are starting to notice me and look at me I walk in the street and people are looking (well men mostly) but it never use to be like that! I was always in the back round never in the front! but i think Im in the front now ...of my own life!
And it’s a weird place to be when your use to the dark alleys of your anxieties! And i think that’s why I feel so naked… I feel raw!!
And now is when it gets tough! Staying in this rawness and not running away and putting all my guards up again! thats the hard part.
--------------------------
I hope I don’t sound arrogant and conceited!!
(see that me juging my self !!)
The Indian rhinoceros is a rhinoceros species native to the Indian subcontinent. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, as populations are fragmented and restricted to less than 20,000 km2. Moreover, the extent and quality of the rhino's most important habitat, the alluvial Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands and riverine forest, is considered to be in decline due to human and livestock encroachment. As of August 2018, the global population was estimated to comprise 3,588 individuals, including 2,939 individuals in India and 649 in Nepal. Kaziranga National Park alone had an estimated population of 2,048 rhinos in 2009.
Nearly 85% of the global Indian rhinoceros population is concentrated in Assam, where Kaziranga National Park contains 70% of rhino population. (Wikipedia)

This very large male rhino had just had an altercation with another very large male. He is leaving the scene of the dust-up with a couple of wounds to his shoulder and a couple of Eastern Cattle-Egrets on his back. The ranger that was with us was not concerned with the injury.

Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) feeding on eucalyptus in the Australia Outback habitat of the San Diego Zoo.
Koalas prefer the more nutritious leaves at the top of the trees, usually eating one leaf at a time. Of the nearly 900 species of Eucalyptus in Australia, koalas eat approximately 70.
Conservation status: Vulnerable
Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) - one of two relatively young brothers traveling together in the Sabi Sands region of South Africa. They caused a big stir with our rangers and trackers, as they are not frequently seen in this area. There are large prides of lions and the terrain is marshy and not supportive of cheetah's style of hunting. It is surmised they left their mom and were wandering the reserves around Kruger NP looking for territory to call their own. We encountered them over several days and there will be more pictures to recount our adventures with them.
Conservation Status: Vulnerable

Le grèbe castagneux est classé comme espèce vulnérable en Finlande. C'est un oiseau difficile à observer car il passe le plus clair de son temps caché dans la végétation.
La tête, la nuque, la poitrine et le dos de l'adulte sont de couleur noire. Ses joues, sa gorge et son cou son marron-rougeâtre foncé et ses flancs son marron foncé. Une petite tache jaune située à la base du bec est nettement visible. Le reste du bec est noir avec une extrémité claire. Ses très grosses pattes sont verdâtre foncé et son iris est marron-rougeâtre.
Les juvéniles sont plus clairs que les adultes, avec une calotte, une nuque et un dos foncés, des joues, les côtés du cou et les flancs étant marron-jaunâtre, tandis que la partie basse du cou et la poitrine sont marron-rougeâtre. Des motifs plus foncés et plus clairs restent visibles sur leurs têtes, et ce pendant une grande partie de l'hiver.

The Little Grebe is classified as Vulnerable in Finland. It is a bird difficult to observe because it spends most of its time hidden in the vegetation.
The head, neck, chest and back of the adult are black. His cheeks, throat and neck are dark reddish-brown and his flanks are dark brown. A small yellow spot at the base of the beak is clearly visible. The rest of the bill is black with a clear end. Its very large legs are dark greenish and its iris is brown-reddish.
The juveniles are lighter than adults, with a dark cap, nape and back, cheeks, sides of the neck and flanks being brown-yellowish, while the lower part of the neck and chest are reddish-brown. Darker, lighter patterns remain visible on their heads for much of winter.
Be vulnerable
Be raw
Say how you
feel without fear
of judgement
and without
worrying about
the response.
Ask for what
you want.
When you're true
to yours by
speaking your truth
you've done all
you could do,
that's enough
peace of mind.

the same Lioness as the one posted for World Lion Day.
A young mother that just had her first litter of small cubs.
We found her when she was trying to find out where the main pride was. Lions are very social .
Before this shot she had been roaring to give the other adults of the pride an indication where she was.
A Lioness will wait to join the pride with her cubs until the cubs are somewhat older and more resilient. Until then she keep the cubs at a safe den site and leaves her den to hunt and to drink.

The number of Southern Ground-Hornbills outside formally protected areas in South Africa is declining due to loss and transformation of habitat, poisoning, persecution and electrocution. The species is listed as globally Vulnerable and have been uplisted to Endangered in 2014 in South Africa.
It is the largest hornbill species in the world.
A masked lapwing or spur winged plover, Vanellus miles, chick that I think was less than two days old. Unfortunately, the parents did not stay very close to it so I did not get a reasonable photo of the chick and one of its parents together. Its height was less than the height of its parents knees (see next photo). I kept my distance because masked plovers will defend the chicks and they have spurs on their wings with which they could attack.
Masked lapwings do not always choose good places to nest. They have been known to nest on railway tracks. This pair probably nested on the ground in the backyard of a house. They would often go onto quite a busy road and did not stop the chick going onto the road.

Taken as the sun was beginning to set and the giraffes had come to the waterhole , It is a common sight to see these giants arrange their bodies in such a way that they are able to get down to drink but it is a very risky and vulnerable moment for them. If there are any lions in the area they make for easy prey while drinking . Usually they come in groups and there is one or two that will stand guard. So gentle giants !!!!
wishing you an awesome and blessed day !!

La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster (Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation and are declining in large parts of the global range.
Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled into the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph). – Wikipedia

Snowy Owl has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22689055/205475036
Despite not being overly concerned about harassment (as mentioned in connection with another image www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/51958273022/in... ), this first year female Snowy Owl certainly kept an eye on its surroundings. This of course was for potential prey, but also — as in this instance — for other birds that might harass it. I was watching from inside my vehicle and could not tell what it was looking at initially, but it was very intent on the object in question from some distance away and tracked what turned out to be a Black-billed Magpie as it passed by. Snowy Owls, like most members of the family, are subject to swooping fly-by’s by other species, even more so in the case of these owls since they are active in daylight hours unlike most of their relatives which are more strictly nocturnal and roost in a sheltered spot while the sun shines. The visual acuity that this bird displayed emphasizes their hunting abilities.
Greater one-horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) mom named "Tanaya" lives with her young female calf (born April 11, 2020) in the 40 acre Asian Plains Field exhibit of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Conservation Status: Vulnerable primarily due to habitat loss, poaching threats and illegal traffic in rhino horn.
