Caracal - The caracal is a medium-sized wild cat.
The caracal is distinguished by the presence of long tufts on the tip of the ears. No trace of pattern in its short dense coat, but its white under belly is spotted. It is a slender, long-legged cat, medium size with a relatively short tail.
The caracal, also known as the desert lynx is widely distributed across Africa, central Asia, and southwest Asia into India.
The name Caracal is derived from a Turkish word “karakulak” meaning “black ear.” As the name implies, the backs of the ears are black and topped with long black tufts about 1.75 inches long. This tuft is the characteristic that Caracals do share with the members of the lynx family.
The Caracal is the largest member of Africa’s small cats, and it’s most formidable. Males can weigh as much as 40 pounds, and females as much as 35. They stand between 16-20 inches at the shoulder, and are 35-39 inches long.
These cats can fly! As can be seen in my Album of pictures.
A caracal in one leap with its large paws and strong legs can swat down multiple birds at one time. I have read trained caracals have taken down as many as 12 birds!
The caracal is a carnivorous cat. It mainly consumes small mammals and birds, but It can also prey upon the young of larger mammals, such as the impala and antelope.
Hope you enjoyed!

I had the pleasure of working with Danielle this past weekend. I just wanted to thank her for a killer shoot as well as Mahesh for donating his beautiful home for the shoot.

Wildflowers I shot during my hike yesterday. I added the flood fliter for an added effect. Sometimes these flowers can be so darn pretty. Hope you like :-)
As fancy as the previous version was, I think still nothing beats good old BW...

"I'm feeling so lost" she whispered with dread,
bowing her neck and resting her head.
My heart lunged in pain as she started to sob,
while I played with her ebony hair.
"I need a clean slate, I need to start new,
I need to stop running and hiding with you"
I shivered with thought as I felt her detach,
my heart felt a pang of the blues.
"I'll take you away where no-one will know,
your name or your face or your sins of below."
She gazed at me with hope, "But is there such a place?"
"Down where the wild flowers grow."
I couldn't let go, could not let her leave.
The way that this world would have loved to decieve
her innocent eyes, and her purity true -
makes me sick to the whitest of sleeves.
I left her to soak with the earth and the ground,
to naturally rot to a pretty, pale mound.
I left her alone, but I know she will be
where the wild flowers grow, and easily found... by me.

This shoot was all about Big crazy WILD hair. Biting handcuffs, applying lipstick like a Rockstar and a little Bad Habit of smoking. Hope you all enjoy. I had fun doing it.

Just around 120 wild dog in the Kruger Park about the same number as cheetah. This against around 1,000 leopard and 1500 lion. Over 5,000 hyena. These dogs are persecuted on all fronts - lions, farmers, hyena - the list goes on.
We should pray everyday for the teens who are forced into prostitution. Everyday they have to make money for their pimps, serving customers who look for sex, (one case a teen served as many as 50 men - day and night). If you can please do something to help them. They are not difficult to find. Most taxi drivers know where they are or their pimps usually advertise them on the net.
More proboscis monkeys high up in the tree. Even with my 70-300mm lens at full zoom, I couldn't get any closer, tey were that high up in the trees. Detailed notes as well as real close-ups of proboscis monkeys, both male and female, appear in my Sandakan and Lubok Monkey Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary set.

This is one of the wild ponies that live on Assateague Island. It was probably a good 1/4 to 1/2 of a mile away from us – glad I had my 300 mm zoom lens.
I love the fragrance which drifts in the air as I pass wild rose bushes while on a walk near our place at St. Ives, BC, on the north shore of Shuswap Lake. (16-05-23-3489)

Because the land technically used to belong to Malaysia, as KTMB owned the land, the grass and trees around the area tend to be rather unkempt, as compared to other patches of land in Singapore.
Wild Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) is also known as the 'Lent lily' or 'Easter lily' since it often blooms and fades within the Lenten period. The wild Daffodil is smaller than horticultural varieties, with paler petals and a deep yellow trumpet-like tube. The leaves are grey-green, thin, long and flattened. It grows in groups so can be quite an impressive sight. This native Daffodil is found in damp woods, fields, grassland and orchards. It is a rare plant but can be abundant in some areas.
