ekornzinho on ilha grande closeup
Image by thcsp
i love squirrels and have photoes of squirrels from norway, the uk, rsa, usa and now...brazil! this little guy i found on the ilha grande. it was a very small squirrel, no bigger than the black squirrels in new mexico. coincidentally there were some monkeys further up the hill that also were very small. maybe small is just the way it should be, to add some emphasis to the fact that it is the ilha grande?

Bullfight
Image by Mait Jüriado
It's quite hard to post those photos. Bullfighting is very long traditional event in Spain but people like me from outside of Spain might think it's brutal. For me it's more like documenting what I saw not I liked it so much. I think it should be forbidden.
From a technical point of view it has three parts called “tercios” or “suertes”: sticks, barbed darts and finally the matador’s stick with a red flag attached to it. The president of the fight, which includes six fights lasting 20 minutes each.
When the bull enters and during the first part, the matador in his traditional costume raises the red and gold flag. He makes sweeping motions with the cape and helpers both on foot and on horseback drive their lances into the bull, gauging the liveliness and characteristics of their opponent.
During the second part of the fight three pairs of darts are driven into the bull’s neck. In the final and the most distressing part of the fight the bullfighter becomes a killer.
This is the most dangerous part where he attracts the injured animal towards him. At the last moment he must kill the beast with a single thrust of his sword.
"For one week a year, thousands of locals and tourists gather, and pay to witness the a ritual which is advertised as glorious and entertaining (for the benefit of pompously dressed up males with questionable skills in avoiding collision with a big animal) but is in fact nothing short of gorry, gruesome and truly sad. Old and sick bulls are chosen to be killed in those rituals, and they are being weakened for weeks before the "fight".
They put laxatives in their food and heavy sandbags on their backs. They are often beaten. They file their horns down to the tender quick and they drug them. Prior to the Running, electric prods and sharp sticks are used to rile the bulls in a frenzy. Petroleum jelly is put in their eyes to blind them. Wet newspaper is stuffed in their ears and their vocal cords are cut to prevent the audience to hear their cries. Lances are driven into the bulls' neck muscles so they can't lift their heads. By the time the matador appears the bulls are weak from blood loss and disoriented from being chased in circles.
When the "fight" finally begins, the bull is already on the verge of collapsing, held only by his last instinct of survival. All dignity is stripped down from him and he is confused, desperate and suffering. Then, in the ring, the toreador slaughters the bull by stabbing the bull repeatedly in the spine. The bull's death is slow and not just ugly, it's petrifying and maddening. Often he wears long blankets to hide their entrails, which spill out when they are gorged and disemboweled."

Bull Terrier
Image by Llima
SOME FACTS:
In 1830, when combat between Bulldogs and bulls were at their height, lovers of this "sport" decided to create a dog that would attack even more vigorously. By crossing a bulldog with and Old English Terrier as well as some Spanish Pointer blood, they came up with the Bull Terrier.
Two of the most famous bull terriers are Bullseye the mascot of the Target Corporation and Spuds MacKenzie from the Bud Light commercials in the late 80's.
Kelly the Killer Whale
Image by roboM8
14/30 - Kelly was very fussy today. He said he wouldn't pose unless he had some fish. Then, he didn't believe that I even had fish. But when I put them right in front of him he tried to eat them straight away and thought I'd taken the photo. Smelly Belly's fact: A male killer whale is called a bull!
20080401 - Oranjello - 153-5309-diptych-153-5310 - playing with Clint
Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
He's a biter! In fact, if we knew how bitey he would eventually be... We might have not played with him so much! This guy has turned out be pretty insane! If you pet him, he'll open his mouth, just to be prepared in case he decided to bite you! He's starting to chill out a bit now (by July), thanks to anti-biting training.

Belgian Sheepdog
Image by Llima
SOME FACTS:
The Belgian Sheepdog is also known by the name "Groenendael."
The Groenendael takes its name from Chateau Groenendael in Belgium. It evenutually became known as the Belgian Sheepdog or in most parts of the world as the Chien de Berger Belge.
They do not tend to be friendly to all people, as they have been used over the centuries as guard dogs and herders and tend to remain quite reserved.

Toby the Tapir

19/30 - (Sort of a rushy day for me today) Smelly Belly had Toby here today. Toby wanted to go back home and play games with his friends and he thought it was unfair that he was chosen. But even after that Smelly Belly kept a smile on his face and I got to take the photo. Smelly Belly's fact: The trunk of the Tapir has changed little over millions of years in evolution.

Home Construction

Pat & Jim's new house is more tht a fixer upper. In fact is a complete rebuild. The previous owners really only left the foundation and subfloor intact.
Jim has been dilligently making the rounds of the local builing supply warehouses to get new framing and flooring. Pat has been very active in the building as well. Together they returned with construction materials four times in a little over an hour.
Busy as beavers these two!

Eastern Chipmunk preparing for winter (Tamias striatus)
Image by warriorwoman531
This chipmunk was very busy storing seeds for the winter. In fact, his full cheeks show he has a loaded mouth!
The eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) is a small squirrel found in eastern North America.
It has reddish-brown fur on its upper body and five dark brown stripes contrasting with light brown stripes along its back, ending in a dark tail. It has lighter fur on the lower part of its body. It has a tawny stripe that runs from its whiskers to below its ears, and light stripes over its eyes. It has two fewer teeth than other chipmunks and four toes each on the front legs but five on the hind legs.

The biggest challenge, once we managed to lure the monkeys out with bananas, was to cope with the fact that we where seated on the back of a huge elephant who really didn't care to accomodate the annoying photgrapher person (i.e. me).

BACKSTORY: Ripley's Believe It Or Not! museums kick ass! Definitely worth the ~ admission. We spent several hours looking at things and photographing. And no two museums are alike -- I've been to at least 2, possibly 3. Sure, they may have some of the same wall prints and statues, but the actual items are often one-of-a-kind. Find the museum nearest to you with their official museum locator app.
Also, note that I did not repost every one of Vicky & Ryan's pictures. You might want to click through and check out some of their other pictures from the museum as well!

Fun fact: there's a theory that suggests mastodon skulls were the origin of the myth of the cyclops. One look at the trunk hole in its skull, and you can see why.

Year of the Tiger
Image by StoneHorse Studios
I shot this maybe a year and half ago, but have struggled with decision whether it is a "keeper" or not. I love the pose, the lighting and that the fact tiger was amongst the vegetation, however, my problem was the chain link fence this was shot through. I got as close to the fence as possible to help blur it out as well as composed the image so that the Tiger's face was framed by one the links and as unobstructed as possible. However, I was still bothered with the resulting distortion and blur caused by the fence around the face of the tiger and spent a lot of time trying to sharpen and correct it in Photoshop without ever being satisfied with the result until ultimately abandoning the photo until now. With a fresh perspective I decided to approach it the opposite direction and enhanced the softness by using a dream filter, which seemed to help blend the distortion and blur with the rest of the photo, in a much more satisfying way. This is the result.
