I was not very close, this is a highly cropped shot with a zoom lens. Still, he knew I was there. Crows had alerted me. This is the male of a pair I've followed for several years. Check out that claw pointed at me.

The three wise monkeys are a pictorial maxim, embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".
The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
Lafcadio Hearn refers to them as the three mystic apes in his Glimpses of unfamiliar Japan
Tavern Puzzles are reproductions of a type of puzzle traditionally forged by blacksmiths to amuse their friends at country taverns and inns. Keeping with tradition, a museum-trained blacksmith from Long Island has reproduced some of these antique designs as well as his own original designs. All the puzzles are handcrafted and individually assembled. Each puzzle is mechanical in nature; removal of the object piece does not rely on force or trickery. This one is called "Wise Guy" and is considered intermediate difficulty. Just remove the ring... I have a dozen of them, one of which I have yet to solve.

Another raptor being readied for release back into the wild by the Hyland Park Preserve Raptor Center. I would love to get a shot at one in the wild one day. Whenever I see them it seems they have seen me first and are already in flight. Such beautiful animals.

52 Weeks of Ollie
Since I seem to have lost my photo mojo, I briefly considered doing a Year In Photos project; starting January 1. But yesterday came and went and I never did figure out a theme, let alone actually get the camera out to shoot anything. So, inspired by Dexter, I decided to do a 52 Weeks of Ollie project. This seems much more manageable.
So, here he is. We are teaching him the oh-so-useful-trick of balancing things on his face.
And if you left these glasses at our house, please let me know. They may not survive too many more training sessions.
A Rocky Mountain Bristlecone pine can live to an average age of 1,500 years and have been found to be up to 2,400 years old. They usually found at elevations of 7,000 feet to 13,000 feet.
Update on Charlie, Well fingers cross it maybe good new, as our vet thinks it may be a parasite which Charlie has picked up from the soil, although Charlie is wormed regular the standard dog wormers don't work on this particular parasite, so Charlie has new medication, which he has to take for a week,
So it is all finger cross and hopefully Charlie will be all better.
Thank you everyone for the kind and very wise messages, it has been a big support for me though this very worrying time.........
THANK YOU !!!!

Thank you
Two 6400 meters peaks, Taboche & Chola Tse, accompany you on the trek from Thukla to Dingboche & onwards to Lobuche. As you walk alongside on ridges at 4500 to 4900 meters, these lofty giants look so close that you feel that one mad run uphill would make you summit them; the wise know better!
With a silent prayer at the Buddhist Stupa, many deep breaths & countless steps through this vast empty land between these spectacular giants was one of the most endearing walks on the Everest Base Camp trek.
