Welcome to the Summer Solstice!

(And grateful for the technology giving me a window in which to write and post this.)

Only one way to open this week’s picture parade!

Now to the second set of pictures under the theme of

Hiding in Plain Sight

oooo

Yet another set of these incredible pictures in a week’s time; technology notwithstanding!

Picture parade one hundred!

Funny how time passes!

Last week’s picture parade had me wondering where the next set of pictures were coming from. But then dear, long-term friend Dan Gomez emailed me some fabulous pictures that, in turn, had been sent to him. Thanks Dan!

Another set of wonderful pictures along the same theme next Sunday. (That will be mid-Summer’s Day in the Northern Hemisphere!)

Happy Birthday Pharaoh

Our beautiful, grand Pharaoh is twelve today!

Yes, twelve years ago today Pharaoh was born at Jutone Kennels.

Here’s the photograph of Sandra Tucker, owner of Jutone Kennels in Devon, England, holding puppy Pharaoh the day I first met him: 12th August, 2003.

Because this wonderful dog, this treasured friend since August, 2003, has meant so much to me, I am going to devote the rest of the week to memories of these gorgeous years.

For today, I will close with a few photographs taken of Pharaoh when we were all out walking yesterday afternoon.

oooo

Happy Birthday old chum!

Wild Nature

Best laid plans of mice and men!

For reasons that I am still unclear about, yesterday slipped through my fingers before I knew it. That’s the worst mental state for me when I am trying to be creative over a new blog post. So it came around to 4:30pm yesterday and I knew that I was faced with two choices: not post or use something stored as a ‘draft’.

That’s what caused me to look through my draft posts folder and offer you this for today.

The videos are short but nonetheless beautiful.

They are the products of an Australian film company: Riggs Australia.

The list of nature films made by Riggs is impressive; to say the least.

Here’s a couple of examples of their wonderful filming.

This 4 metre plus female great white had just bitten Mark’s cage and was circling when he turned on his camera …. at 1.09 he see’s it approaching from behind his cage. He’s been down at 26 metres for over half an hour and is forced to make a decision. Stay on the bottom and run into decompression time or confront it ….
