Harley - Adopted!
Image by BenSpark
Updated again: Harley went to that family. They didn't do the things they said they would so Harley went back to the Shelter. However she was adopted again and is now in a good forever home.
Updated: Harley has been adopted. She is doing well in a family of 3 boys who are doing agility training with her.
Harley is up for Adoption at the North Attleboro Animal Shelter. You can learn more about her there as well as at The BenSpark
A few nice names for animals images I found:
Day One Hundred Fifty
Image by Dustin Diaz
150/365. Meow meow meow
Everyone, if you haven't met her already, this is Meow meow meow. (That's really her name). I had adopted her after as one of my (only) own after I met Erin. She is 84 years old according to this human to cat years calculator. It was only appropriate that she gets a special day like 150 (seemed like a good round number).
But of course, even if you're not into the strobist stuff... it's worth watching the setup for this one.
Also, a couple other things I want to mention. I noticed some folks have been requesting the 'ol black and white diagrams for the setup info since they are easier to study. I agree. But this is FREE information. Free as in beer. Other folks have requested that I remove the qutoed text on each picture. No. I'll keep doing whatever I think feels right.
Ok..
setup, camera, strobist info: see the video
A few nice service animal images I found:
Ethiopian cargo service
Image by Evgeni Zotov
On the way from Babile to Harar our minibus stoped to take aboard sheeps that somebody wanted to transport to Harar. They tied up sheeps' legs and loaded them onto roof one by one. There was just metal grid on the roof and all the way to Harar was bumpy. I asked those people if they care about condition of animals - 'coz they certainly broke some bones. It's ok, they told me, those animals are just for meat.
Later I saw such style of transportation again and again.

Elegance Defined - South African Giraffe - UPDATE
Image by Sheree (Here intermittently)
My ultimate animal -- and I love many -- especially gorillas -- is a giraffe. And I was not disappointed by our recent safari into Kruger National Park ... and another South African park near Hluhluwe.
Our guide got us so close to the animals, we could have touched them. The giraffes were spectacular with their elegant bodies and beautiful eyes.
Here is one of my favorite shots. Look at her gorgeous eyes. How do I know this is a girl? She has hair on her horns; the boys rub all the hair off their horns when they fight.
Slept in a "hobbit hole" for the past couple of nights...and all I could think about were the snakes and spiders crawling around outside. Yes, there are black mambas here.
Now we are spending a night on the Indian Ocean, the Dolphin Coast. Beautiful area.
No spiders or snakes in or around my bed.
Tomorrow, we are off to the mountains.
Blessings to all my Flickr friends,
~~Sheree~~

A few nice animal movie images I found:
Little Bubba 073
Image by Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue
Found in a barn with another (healthy) kitten severely emaciated I70 & Tower on 10/16/2009. Very friendly, eats well. Will be a few weeks before he is available for adoption, he needs to put on weight and be neutered.
Updates:
Little Bubba (not available for adoption yet) was left to fend for himself at a barn. With no food, he resorted to eating dirt, twigs, and possibly a mouse. He was terrifyingly thin, wobbly, and his lower half and the box he arrived in were soaked with watery diarrhea.
After all of the attention he had at intake, Little Bubba had very little strength to protest a bath and quietly endured the few tests we needed to run to see where we should proceed with his healthcare. He tested negative for FIV, FeLV, Heartworm, Panleukopenia, and Giardia.
During the next week he ate like there was no tomorrow, but continued to seep diarrhea and had great difficulty passing the hard stool that had been stuck there for so long, so off to the vet. With a weekend stay on IV's and lots of help under anesthesia, he was relieved of 14 (or so) hard masses of feces.
A week after that he looks more like a cat and less like an orange striped skeleton movie prop. His face and body have filled out more, his eyes less sunken, and he almost has the strength to walk a few paces before going back to bed. He still has trouble passing hard stool, but no longer seeps. He loves to be loved and has learned if he meows he gets pets and foods! He needs the calories, anyway. : )
Stay tuned for updated photos and such!

Seminole Canyon State Park, Val Verde County, Texas. One of the more remote state parks, tucked into the southwest corner of Texas about an hour's drive west of Del Rio.
This area has been inhabited since the very earliest days that humans set foot in North America, going back nearly 12,000 years - back during the last Ice Age when the land was more verdant with now-extinct animals still roaming the surrounding prairies and forest. But over the millenia, the climate changed to its current, arid desert landscape - and the Indians adapted.
All through these years, the local Indians drew pictograms all over the surrounding canyon walls and caves. In the dry climate, protected by overhanging rock walls, many of these pictograms survived through the ages. Some of the more famous sites, such as the Fate Bell and Panther Cave, are the feature attractions of Seminole Canyon, and can be visited by guided tour through the park.
However, I have not yet visited these sites - instead focusing on other areas of the park. On the first visit (March 9th, 2008), I arrived after the park had closed for the day. I walked along the short 'Windmill Trail', a small loop near the visitor's center. This trail leads down to a small year-round spring and the ruins of a water catchment system that was used by local settlers over the past hundred years.
The return trip (September 27, 2008) was much more fruitful - I chose to hike the Rio Grande River Trail, a six-mile out-and-back loop that leads to the far corner of the park, almost a stone's throw from Old Mexico. With recent rains it was fairly lively and green, with countless butterflies passing through on their annual migration. The trail starts alongside the original 'Loop Trail', the 1882 railroad alignment that was abandoned a decade later when a less strenuous route was forged and the Pecos River High Bridge was built.
The trail itself is pretty boring - a flat, featureless hike across a nondescript desert plain. But the main highlight of the hike quickly comes into view. There is a mile-long spur shooting off to the left called the Pressa Trail, which leads to an overlook looking down at a three-way intersection in the Seminole Canyon below. Here, the waters from Lake Amistad many miles away along the Rio Grande peter out; to the right, the waters are wide and deep, muddied from the recent rainstorms. To the left, the two forks of Seminole Canyon are mostly dry. From the top of the overlook, sheer cliffs lead staight down over a hundred feet to the waters below. The view is, well, *breathtaking* - and worth the trip.
Back on the main trail, a few miles later it comes to an abrupt end at the junction where Seminole Canyon merges with the Rio Grande. The location overlooks the Panther Cave pictograms, on the opposite shore far below, accessible only by boat. To the right, a few hundred yards away, are the hills of Mexico. Here, the water is deeper, the canyons steeper, the chasm wider. An impressive view, although not as amazing as the Pressa Trail overlook.
From here, it is a straight hike back along the south portion of the loop, my only companion a great horned toad trying to hide in the gravel of the trail. I would like to return to this park to take the guided tours, and there are other tours available nearby on private land to other pictogram sites as well. And I am told this park is also fabulous for bird watchers as well.

Evamy Ridge, Mount Royal Hill with Sarcee Encampment c. 1890
Image by ocean.flynn
An archival photo c. 1890 from the Glenbow Collection showing a Tsuu T'ina (Sarcee) encampment at the base of Mount Royal Hill looking down on Calgary, is layered into this photo taken from Evamy Ridge on Mount Royal Hill.
Evamy Ridge Park is located in Mount Royal along Hillcrest Avenue overlooking the Mission district in southwest Calgary. The park was built in 2002 by the Parks Foundation, Calgary and the Evamy Family. Evamy Ridge is located in Mount Royal and is dedicated to the late Michael Evamy of Calgary. The park includes a pathway, seating area, and gardens.
"The Tsuu T’ina (Sarcee) of the 19th century referred to the present-day location of Calgary as Kootisaw or the "meeting of the waters." Located between the Highwood and Elbow River junctions along the Bow, Kootisaw was a Tsuu T’ina camping and parleying site. [. . .] Buried beneath many of Calgary's parks, streets, and building foundations is abundant evidence that thousands of years earlier, other First Nations people lived along this stretch of the Bow River. The area's earliest residents probably began arriving soon after Glacial Lake Calgary drained, approximately 10,000 years ago, and the newly exposed land started to attract the plants and animals on which human beings depended for survival. Around 8,000 years ago, one group of Aboriginal hunters trapped a small number of a now-extinct variety of bison in the backwaters of the Bow, then a braided river with channels extending as far south as the present-day Mount Royal district. They left evidence of the kill at what 20th century archaeologists have dubbed The Mona Lisa Site on 17th Avenue, S.W. [A]rchaeological evidence and oral tradition suggest strongly that people of the Blackfoot Nation were present in southern Alberta for many centuries prior to the arrival of Europeans (Kootisaw)."
Lion (Panthera leo)
Image by cliff1066™
There are two separate subspecies of lions: the African and Asian lion. The African lion's former range included all of Africa, even within the Sahara desert. Now, they live in the savannas and forests south of the Sahara desert. The Asian lion (Panthera leo persica) lives in the Gir Forest of India. There are about 200 Asian lions remaining there, all that is left of what was a thriving lion population that was once widespread all over southwest Asia. They were hunted to extinction elsewhere, and the Gir forest, what used to be a sultan's game park, is the only place they have found refuge.
The lion's former range included not only all of Africa but extended farther east and northward. They occured as far north as Greece, and eastward through the Middle East to India. They became extinct in eastern Europe around AD 100, but their population remained steady throughout the rest of their range until the mid 19th century, when the invention and widespread use of firearms led to their extirpation throughout much of their range. They became extinct in the Middle Eastern countries in the early to mid 20th century, with the last reported lion killed in Iran in 1942. Lions were heavily persecuted in India especially.
There are no exact numbers for the number of lions occuring in Africa. Rough estimates range from 30,000 to 100,000 individuals. Eastern and southern Africa have the largest lion populations, with the numbers dwindling in the western part of the continent. Despite their widespread range throughout sub-saharan Africa, their population is very fragmented, and they are becoming relatively rare outside of protected areas. The only non-African population exists in the protected Gir forest of India, where an estimated 200 individuals survive.
Lions are the largest African carnivore, and the second largest of the "Great cats" (lions, leopards, tigers, and jaguars). Great cats are distinguished from other cats by their ability to roar. Lions are also the second largest cats in the world; the tiger is the largest cat.

Phone charge card
Image by timquijano
As with most services in China including utilities such as water and heat, you have to pay up front for phone services, so I purchased a card with which to do so. First, I attempted to use the English service by calling the number on the back of the China mobile card and pressing 2 for English. Little did I know, this was a trick! There are only options to do other things, how silly. After calling this number again because I can't believe how ridiculous this is, I work my way through the Chinese operating system, successfully pressing the correct sequence of buttons. This is harder than you'd think because they use formal terminology I guess and I don't know things like how to say the pound button in Chinese. Afterward, I look at the card, a picture of a tiger on the front is waving to me (it is the year of the tiger) with characters along the side saying things like protect animals.
Traditional Chinese medicine sources many ingredients from tiger parts, such as the male part. Eating this part is supposed to prevent/cure sterility. Well, now tigers are virtually extinct in China, so Chinese authorities regularly seize (illegal) loads of tiger parts traveling into China from East Siberia.
I was amused at the back of the card: Applicable to all China Mobile accounts within China, with the exceptions of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Hmm, I wonder why it wouldn't work for accounts in those places.
