En cette superbe journée de juillet, les Éperviers de Cooper juvéniles pratiquaient ce qui semblait être un jeu pour l'instant: la chasse. Nous avons été quelques personnes à assister à cette scène mémorable. Les trois jeunes tournaient autour d'un tronc d'arbre et volaient dans les branches pourchassant un écureuil qui ne semblait pas apeuré par une fin de vie imminente. Ils s'y sont mis à trois et n'ont pas réussi à capturer l'écureuil. Leur technique de chasse maladroite se raffinera certainement dans les prochains jours sous les judicieux conseils des parents. Malgré le manque d'expérience évident à l'oeil, je trouve que ce jeunot à déjà la prestance d'un redoutable guerrier!

The route that the competitors followed to reach Motu Nui: they came down the inside of the crater, following a narrow road up to Kari Kari, which is the crater’s “bitten” wall; from there they climbed down the cliff to the sea and swam the 2km to the Motu Nui, the small islands where they needed to find an egg.
One of the brightest, boldest rainbows I've seen welcomed me as I approached a region of Glacier Park long known for it's mystical and spiritual aura. Named Two Medicine by the Blackfeet peoples who have for centuries sent their young warriers here on vision quests and spiritual seeking.
I too feel that pull and need to return here for rejuvenation, rejoicing and relaxation. Never fails to set my soul singing and reboot my spirit.
Some earlier scenes/moments I've enjoyed from this special area below……..
We're finally having some Spring-like weather here. :-))
Hope you are as well.
Thanks for your visit!

No 2 'Prince' Small England Class 0-4-0 ST + T built in 1863 by George England & Co is the Ffestiniog Railway's oldest operable steam locomotive which was returned to service in 2013 in time for the 150th Anniversary of steam on ths 'Wonderful Welsh Narrow Gauge Railway'.
Pictured here 'Brightening Up' a gloomy Friday 13th May 2022 sees it departing Penrhyn at 11.20am with the day's first 'Woodland Warrier/Crwydrwr y Goedwig' service from Porthmadog to Tan y Bwlch and return. This service gives families and those with dogs a one hour break to enjoy the nature trail to Llyn Mair. the pretty lake in the valley, and refreshments at Tan y Bwlch's Tearoom.
Penryhn Station is a request stop, with very limited parking, located on a hillside 160ft above sea level on the edge of Penrhyndeudraeth (English translation - headland between two beaches) and is used by local residents wishing to use the train and walkers heading to the hills.
It's also a great place to view the trains, with an open road level crossing nearby too. If visiting, I suggest using the lower 'Free Car Park' then walking the one third of a mile 'Lung Busting' ascent up the one in four narrow roads!
Certainly one way of keeping fit!

43159 Rio Warrier and 43025 Exeter power 1Z45 16.45 Saltburn - Princes Risborough, the return leg of UK Railtours' "Teddy's Nook". The preserved 125 Group HST is pictured passing Colton, south of York.
I'd originally planned to photograph the return leg on Tees-side, at Newport East Jn. where it was booked to cross from the Up Goods to the Up Main (a shot I'd done back in August 2012 - see this photo). However, when I arrived and parked the car nearby (you need to park a short distance away and walk up onto the bridge) the clouds had rolled in and weather maps suggested they were going to thicken. But, further south the clouds were forecast to stay away and I was actually driving home straight after photographing the HST... and I remembered the shot at Colton had still been clear of vegetation the last time I'd considered going there. But would it still be clear?
Provided I set off straight away and didn't get stuck in any traffic jams, I reckoned I'd make it with a little bit of time to spare - and I did. I was pleased to see a reasonable number of people here, and relieved to find the lineside was indeed clear where it needed to be.
1Z45 was on time as it approached York, following LNER's 1E21 (801204) - but 1E21 was a few minutes late, and 1Z45 was held just before York station while 1E21 set down and picked up passengers. As a result, 1Z45 was five minutes late when it reached Colton Jn., just after the sun had gone behind a band of thin cloud which took the edge off the brightness a little, particularly in the foreground. Of course, a minute or so later the sun cleared the thin cloud, but just too late. However, it was still bright when the train passed, and very little work was needed in Photoshop to improve the brightness.
This shot brought a very successful May to a close.

With power car 43159 Rio Warrier leading and power car 43025 Exeter trailing, the 125 Group's HST passes Cargo Fleet in Middlesbrough on the outward leg of UK Railtours' "Teddy's Nook". This was 1Z43 05.50 Princes Risborough - Saltburn, which ran via West Ruislip, West Ealing, Willesden Junction, Camden Road, the East Coast Main Line to Northallerton and Yarm; the train was operated by Hanson & Hall.
I'd stayed overnight in Sunderland on my way back from Scotland, but with a sunny day forecast spent most of it chasing this preserved HST before driving home in the evening. There was some very thin, high cloud about which took the edge off the brightness, while taking this shot not very long after 11am at the end of May meant a little treatment was necessary in Photoshop.
This was the first time I'd photographed the 125 Group's HST since all the coaches had been repainted into InterCity livery, and the first time I'd taken a photo of Midland Mainline-liveried power car 43159.

Much of this is the ruins of a 19th Century rebuild. The hill is man made . The Normans built a wooden fort here. During the 900s The Daughter of Alfred The Great built a fort here. Aethelflaed was a warrier queen who defeated the Vikings at Chester.

The 125 Group's HST, with power cars 43025 Exeter (leading) and 43159 Rio Warrier (nearest the camera) pass Coatham Marsh Nature Reserve (on the western edge of Redcar, working 1Z44 11.46 Saltburn - Saltburn via Hartlepool, Gateshead, Ferryhill and Stockton. This was UK Railtours' "Durham Coast Mini-Tour", and add-on to its "Teddy's Nook" from Princes Risborough to Saltburn and an alternative to spending five hours in Saltburn.
I'd considered coming here for the inbound working. However, there were several possible locations to do that but far fewer for the departure, and even fewer with the sun on the front of the HST (especially with it being booked to run on the passenger lines all the way to Bowesfield Jn.). So I thought this location would work quite well as a going-away shot... despite others I'd chatted to at Cargo Fleet arguing that a going-away shot of an HST on a double-track line doesn't look right! Personally, I'm not bothered whether a double-ended train is coming towards me or going away, and there are many locations which only work properly if you photograph the back of the train.
It did, however, mean that I was joined here by only one person, although there was someone next to the lineside in the nature reserve (shooting the train approaching, probably with the sun just on the sloping front) and I've also seen an excellent drone shot taken on the straight section just ahead of the train; however, I didn't have time to get much further than this bridge.
There was then plenty of time to get further north for a second shot, featuring 43025.

Another frame from Sunday's romp in the snow. Here is a white-throated sparrow braving the bitter cold in search of sustenance. I was only out there for an hour. They were there all day long! January 20, 2019
The Mochica warriors fought with clubs and shields. The combat, which was hand-to-hand, took place in open spaces such as deserts and coastlines. When one of the warriors ripped off his opponent's helmet and held it by the neck, the battle was over. The loser was stripped of his clothing and his clothes and ornaments were torn off. The victors moved the defeated warriors with ropes attached to their necks towards their final destiny: sacrifice.
The 125 Group's HST, with power cars 43025 Exeter and 43159 Rio Warrier pass Hugh Burnigill (near Croxdale, south of Durham), working 1Z44 11.46 Saltburn - Saltburn via Hartlepool, Gateshead, Ferryhill and Stockton. This was UK Railtours' "Durham Coast Mini-Tour", an add-on to its "Teddy's Nook" from Princes Risborough to Saltburn and an alternative to spending five hours in Saltburn.
After photographing this near Redcar, not long after leaving Saltburn, there was plenty of time to get further north for a second stab. Unfortunately, locations for a northbound train on the Durham Coast Line south of Sunderland at this time of day were pretty much non-existent (even for going-away shots), but two locations sprung to mind - here and Monkton (under the Metro wires, between Fellgate and Pelaw) - although shots at Pelaw would also have been possible, and I've also seen a shot on the Stillington line (Ferryhill to Norton) at Redmarshall (although the sun would not have been on the front of a flat-fronted train).
I decided to come here, partly in an attempt to create a late 1980s / early 1990s ECML shot (albeit late 1980s might have been just before the wires went up) and partly because last time I was at Monkton the shot was a bit messy as there was still work taking place in the new housing development (plus space is tight to get the angle just right, and I thought there might be a few people there). But when I got here I immediately regretted the decision, as I found the traditional shot from the road (opposite the farm) has been lost again to lineside vegetation growth. And it was too late to go to Monkton... I went to have a look at the shot at Sunderland Bridge, but going wide enough to be under the wires wasn't possible due to vegetation on the cutting side, so came back.
I did, however, note a bigger space between bushes slightly further round the curve, although when I arrived the sun wasn't yet really far enough round (which would have been a problem at Plawsworth). With plenty of time before the train was due, I went to have a look at what I could get. I took the pole, thinking it might help, but when I did a test shot with the pole extended by one section I found the return wire was clipping the top of the train, and the extra height made almost no difference to how much of the train was visible. So I didn't use the pole for this (and the return wire is still just clipping the top of the first coach, although is hardly noticeable).
After this, I considered chasing the train back to Tees-side for another going-away shot (there would have been plenty of places, and I had plenty of time). But I decided to stay to have another go at the Newcastle-bound 91 working (91105 again, as it had been when I'd photographed it on 11th April - see this photo, when the light dropped at the crucial moment). Unfortunately, being the end of May meant the sun was further round and more head-on than was ideal, plus there was some very thin cloud around again, and I think the shot I took in April was better! I then did go to Tees-side for the return leg of the HST tour (it had about an hour at Saltburn), but by the time I got there the clouds had filled in; I did come up with an alternative, though!

Ken & I took the granddaughter and grandson to a Christmas light show known as "Wonderland Under Warrier," in Rickwood Caverns. One of the first things we saw before entering the cave? A big turtle all done up in lights! Our daughter, Jamie, loved turtles and we felt like we had had a Christmas wish from her. We miss her every Christmas.

While teaching a photography workshop at Brick Pond I was demonstrating how to capture starbursts. This leaf cluster got into my view and created an intriguing effect. Looking forward to playing with this a bit more. Starbursts are created by stopping down the aperture to a narrow DOF. I typically like f/11 as a good starting point. But the more narrow you go, the more defined the star. The number of "points" in your star will depend on the number of blades in your lens. I believe this lens has 9 blades.
When photographing the sun, be careful to protect yourself and your camera. Be quick, keep your eyes averted and your shutterspeeds fast.
Hope you like our real Zulu warrier here Chisin :D
....we visited the South Africa Cultural village to understand the different characteristics of tribes and their customs. Okay - so this is a remake of the past and not as good nor that authentic...but it was educational nontheless.
Overlooking Oaxaca city are the ruins of Monte Alban. The top of the mountain where the ruins are located gives a great view of the city. The ruins themselves are facinating. I have put some more information about the ruins on the set folder for Monte Alban. The ruins are about 1000 years old. Some of the ruins are still being reconstructed. In later pictures I will put up some of the pictrographs which were originally thought to be dancers, but more likely were eviscerated warriers. In noticed quite a few similarities to Chichen-Itza El Castillo. Here is more on what my kids used to call chicken pizza. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Castillo,_Chichen_Itza
A black panther is the melanistic colour variant of the leopard (Panthera pardus) and the jaguar (Panthera onca). Black panthers of both species have excess black pigments, but their typical rosettes are also present. They have been documented mostly in tropical forests, with black leopards in Kenya, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Java, and black jaguars of the Americas in Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Paraguay. Melanism is caused by a recessive allele in the leopard, and by a dominant allele in the jaguar
This is the favorite son of a Masai chief. Each chief of each tribe has a favorite son. They may have many, but choose one and only one to greet visitors and negotiate sales for the tribes handcrafts.
This is a typical house occupied by the Masai people. It consists of cow dung as a bonding agent with sticks and straw. It has an open fire pit a cot with blankets crude shelving for cooking essential.
This is the man when asked how many wives he has (each son of a chief can have as many wives as he can support) said:
"I only have one wife, "one wife, one problem, many wife's many problems." I laughed until I almost cried..!!
Taken with my cell phone. This picture was not staged nor touched in post! He beckoned a tribe member to bring him an item I wanted to see. He was awaiting the item to arrive. I just could not pass up the terrific light.
As always, I thank you for the visit, and interest in my work!
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Hangman Creek, also known as Latah Creek, seen in late July meandering throuh a canyon in Eastern Washington State. During the spring months Hangman Creek fills with runoff from the mountains of Idaho and is a major contributor to farmland irrigation.
Years ago, this tributary of the Spokane River provided fresh water, fish, and wildlife, but is now listed as polluted due to overdevelopment, grazing, and toxic chemicals used in modern agriculture.
This creek also has an interesting, if somewhat violent history. In 1858, Col G. Wright ordered the hanging of Yakima chief Qualchan and several warriers along its banks.

Decididamente esta "gente" não tem uma vida fácil: ou são as lutas pelo conquista/defesa do território ou, ainda mais nesta altura, a azáfama na alimentação da prole...
Definitely these "guys" don't have an easy life: either the fighting for conquering/defending its territory or, even more frequent this time of the year, the bustle in feeding their chicks...
