during my Etosha visit i have been surprised from the large number of Black-shouldered kite (elanus caeruleus) ...for sure the Etosha open areas are perfect for them..but although they were common i had big problems to approach them..as soon as you stop the car they fly away and although many attempt i had just a few occasions to get a nice shot.so it has been....

I was challenged by my very dear friend Ethan to partake in the #guardyourlight challenge that T E E J ✿ launched spontaneously a few days ago on her Flickr.
I was inspired and snapped this last night. Now it's my turn to challenge some talented artists to keep it alive and do something inspired by those words !
Friends, if you've been tagged,
grab your cameras and "Guard your light! "

”You have this way of seeing the Light in others. You have this way of noticing what is beautiful and unique about those around you. And I just hope you know, the same Light you see within others is shining within you too. You have this way of holding up a mirror to others and making sure they feel seen, and this is a very valuable thing. But sometimes, that can make you feel a little less seen yourself... a little less valuable, and less important than everyone else. So in case no one told you lately, it’s okay to turn that mirror around and see you for you, too. And know that no matter who does or does not notice you, Light is running wild within you. It shows up in your laughter. Your stories. Your presence. And I am sorry for all the times no one has taken the time to let you know this, in the same way that you have done this for so many others. I just wanted to remind you this is true: the same Light you see in others is shining within you, too.”

Compositionally Challenged Week 20 - Active Space
After looking in my bird books, I think this is a Swainson's Hawk.
We watched the hawk for several minutes while it moved from one branch to another before it took flight carrying a piece of bark.

My neighbor's beautiful Husky. She is very loving, sweet and gentle. But, she's also a protector, so you'd better not mess with her owner because Sasha will defend and protect her.
Challenge #196: Selective Color
The challenge calls for "My Favourite Things". I have lots of favourite things to choose from but visiting the Sumatran Tigers at Australia Zoo is really a great pleasure.
"Australia Zoo is home to some of the last surviving Indonesian species of big cat – the Sumatran tiger!
Found throughout the forests and grasslands of Sumatra, these big cats are the smallest of all remaining tiger species. They are an impressive and powerful hunter with the ability to jump up to 5 metres (16 feet) in length! Using their stealthy stalking abilities, they will successfully hunt deer, pigs, jungle fowl and fish. Sumatran tigers have a range of vocalisations and communication tools. Their roar can be heard up to 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) away. Crikey! Like all tiger species, their beautiful orange and black striped coat is unique to every individual, just like our fingerprints!
Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered species. There are fewer than 350 left in the wild. These beautiful animals are victim to the illegal wildlife pet trade, illegal poaching for traditional medicine, illegal hunting for pelts and meat, as well as experiencing rapid deforestation and habitat loss. They are a species that is facing certain extinction without our protection."

Using very old Photoshop photo manipulations of a guitar magazine ad from 2000. Because the original files are so old, when they're blown up to contemporary size, they become very grainy, which is actually quite a nice texture. It suggests a harkening back to the glory days of the guitar circa 1960's and 70's.

Music Links:
1.) "Raise My Rent" - David Gilmour, ( Guitarist for Pink Floyd ). From his first solo album "David Gilmour" ( 1978 ). One of my favourite pieces of his extraordinary and very signature playing. For me, when it comes to guitar, he's the man.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuqqyhNO0Dk
2.) "Firth of Fifth" - Genesis, from their album "Selling England by the Pound". ( 1973 ). A full band ensemble piece with Peter Gabriel ( pre-solo career ) on vocals. The middle, instrumental section features the extraordinary guitar work of Steve Hackett, who, like David Gilmour, has an immediately identifiable and signature sound. One of the greatest guitar solos of the period and a top favourite in all styles for me.
