This male is one of three from the Sala Pride who were 'acquainting themselves' with the females of the Rekero Pride with a view to taking over. He doesn't seem to have much experience and looks rather confused about the whole thing. He approached these females which made them rather nervous with the cubs close by and one of them snarled at him. He just gingerly lay down beside them but the females weren't entirely comfortable. I didn't much like the looks he was giving the cubs but it seemed they were safe for the moment.
While there are many benefits to living in California, there are also plenty of worries. Wildfires, droughts, floods, earthquakes and more. On this recent trip to a Northern California beach, I saw a warning sign about tsunamis. Add it to the list.
Man is the only animal who enjoys the consolation of believing in a next life; all other animals enjoy the consolation of not worrying about it.

For Macro Monday theme.
A Worry doll from Guatemala. It is tiny and meant to ward off troubles and worries.
When I was in England I stumbled upon this man on the beach, half dressed, bruised and bleeding. He was shivering violently and his teeth chattered together so much his words were barely audible, but he managed to tell me he had carried this suitcase full of rocks all the way from France, or rather... swam with it... across the English Channel.
When I asked him "Why!!?", he explained that he was carrying out an old tradition; The suitcase full of rocks represented all his worries, and he'd swam the channel in order to take them, and leave them, far, far away. I wondered out loud if he was going to swim all the way back again. To which he replied, "Fuck no, I'm taking the Eurostar! ...Do you have any socks?"
We laughed and laughed, thawed our feet and hands on car air vents, and then went back to the placeI was staying, where we ate Mexican food, and I discovered he was actually a crazy Flickr photographer named Simon McCheung!! Small word, ay?
So ... there we are and I am trying this pose out, seeing if it works well, finding the right camera angle, and windlight for it, when she says, "Do you mind if I take a picture while you are working?" and I reply, "Sure, go ahead." So she does and posts it ways before I am even finished figuring all that stuff out, and TOTALLY STEALS MY PICTURE! I will get revenge, do not worry! Here is my version anyway, because ... well, just because it's my picture! lol
Don't worry, your screen is not freaking out. This bird is really this green. I had seen many photos of this bird but had never seen it until this trip. What an amazing green color this gem is.
Glistening-green Tanager - male
Brilliantly-colored tanager of Andean cloud forest in western Ecuador and western Colombia. Male is bright emerald-green with small red and white spots on sides of head. Female and immature are slightly duller and may lack head spots. Usually found in small groups that forage energetically in lower to middle levels of the forest, and often joins mixed-species flocks.

Par accident j'ai effacé beaucoup de mes anciennes photos dans mon catalogue dans Lightroom. Quel horreur. Pfff...Ce n'est pas un de mes moments le plus brilliants. Il semble que je peux retrouver de mon disk dur portable, mais ça prendra longtemps. Au moins qu'elles ne sont pas toujours perdues. Il faut trouver un autre chemin pour organiser mes photos....

By accident, I erased a lot of my old photos from my Lightroom catalog. It was not one of my brightest moments ! It seems that I can retrieve them from my portable hard drive, but it is going to take a long time. At least they are not lost permanentely. I must find a better way to organize my photos....
If you're feeling
all alone
Hanging up
in outer space
Don't worry
for too long
You're protected
by nature's grace.

Personal space and boundaries vary from culture to culture. In the Philippines, families and relatives share their boundaries without hesitation or worry. Here, two men who are horse handlers and relatives share a bench made from a fallen tree.
An airliner caught in a sudden thunderstorm experience emergency depressurization, but not to worry, Thor is here! (Wait, couldn't he have been the cause of the storm?) And that flight attendant is really determined to deliver that drink despite the conditions... Maybe this is a red beverage company commercial..

Dire Straits - Why Worry
Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunsh ine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
it does not always shine for me. but i know that it is right there. even i can't see it, nor can feel it. does God always available for us? the answer is, yes. even sometimes i can't see Him, i can't feel Him, i feel like being forsaken, but i know that He is still be with me. just like you, my friends. i can't see you, i can't touch you, i can't feel you. but i know that you are there. i think God is just like a friend for me.
"therefore i tell you, do not worry
about your life, what you will eat
or drink; or about your body, what
you will wear. is not life more
important than food, and the
body more important than
clothes?
MATTHEW 6:25
A Mayan custom is to tell your worries to these people and put them under your pillow at bedtime. The worry people absorb your troubles so that they have gone in the morning.
Pretty little things, they bring in important revenue to farmers and families in Guatemala. They are sometimes used by psychologists, especially with children.
“Rainy day. Just do not get wet. Just be set, let your worries wash away with every drop that falls. Happy rainy day.”-
One of these days
I will take a vacation
By a quiet and peaceful shore
Cool my feet
In that crystal water
And I won't have to worry anymore...

The cement pond at the Booty Ranch is our little slice of heaven...
Waiting, it haunts me.
Today it’s weighing me down,
I know that God wants me to be patient
and that I’m suppose to wait for the right moment.
If it’s suppose to happen.. it will happen.
God has this all figured out.
But I’m still just tired of waiting,
but I’ll trust God with this.
He has my life in His hands,
so there is no point in worrying.
I’m not sure that I’m completely comfortable posting this.. and it might end up being deleted soon.. but it’s just how I feel today.. and I felt like sharing.
