Dog of the Acropolis

Happy Midsummer!

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 03:35:57 GMT

Midsummer is celebrated each year between the 20th and 26th of June, at the lightest point of the year. It is the biggest summer celebration in Finland, and signals the start of "the real summer". It is a celebration of light, summer and a "night less" night. The name "Juhannus", as the Midsummer is called in Finnish, originates from John the Baptist ("Johannes" in Finnish), who's commemoration-, and birthday is celebrated in Midsummer. Midsummer is also a Finnish Flag Day. The Flags are raised at 18.00 on Midsummer Eve and lowered at 21.00 on Midsummer evening.

Image: Cuttlefish. These guys a fascinating to watch as they are very expressive. Cuttlefish often use their eight arms and two tentacles to communicate. This one was quite interested in my lens, perhaps seeing himself in a reflection, and used several arm/tentacle positions to get a reaction. They are not fish at all but are related to snails and slugs (Mollusks). Their closest relatives are the Nautilus, Octopus, and the Squid. Cuttlefish are extremely intelligent and it is said their eyes are the most advanced of the Animal Kingdom. Handheld, ISO 1600, f/5, 1/20sec.

Zita

Sat, 08 May 2010 14:57:39 GMT

Zita es una monita de cara roja que fue incautada, junto con su pareja, por la policia. Parece ser que es ilegal tener estos animalitos en cas. La parejita fue llevada a un Centro de rehabilitacion que el dueño de nuestro hotel mantiene como parte de su proyecto Floresta algo. Desgraciadamente, estos monos viven a gran distancia de este centro y, cuando el macho murio de repente, la viudita se quedo sola. Hoy en dia es el unico mono de su especie en la zona y, me parece a mi, se siente triste ya que los monos son animales de grupo familiar. Me dio verdaderamente mucha penita verla sola por alli pero parece no se puede llevar a la zona de su especie pues las familias no admiten huespedes y seguiria en su soledad.

Image: A little closer look at a Pacific Seahorse in the new exhibit, "The Secret Lives of Seahorses".
ISO 1600, f/5.6, 1/50sec, handheld

From the Internet:
Natural History
Measuring up to a foot tall, Pacific seahorses are among the giants of the seahorse world. The Pacific seahorse is the only seahorse species found along the California coast, ranging from San Diego Bay to Peru, and is usually found in shallow beds of soft corals and gorgonians. This species comes in a variety of colors, including gray, brown, red, and yellow, which often match its surroundings.
Conservation
In Asia and elsewhere, dried seahorses have been used as medicine for thousands of years. But as the number of people living on our planet increases, the demand for seahorses grows—and the number of seahorses shrinks. Each year, tons of Pacific seahorses are caught, dried and shipped to Asia.

By supporting marine protected areas in southern California, visitors to and residents of California can help preserve the habitat of the western United States’ only seahorse species, which is “vulnerable” according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Image: Captured December '09. Male elephant seal resting up for the coming battles for mates. He has thrown sand up on his back, which scientist believe is done to help cool them off (sunscreen).

From the Internet:
"Elephant seals are sexually dimorphic: the males are much larger than the females and only the males develop the long noses and chest shield. Females grow to 9-12 feet and weigh between 900-1800 pounds. Males grow to 14-16 feet long and weigh in at 3000-5000 pounds, or more. Female elephant seals give birth for the first time around 4 years old, though the range is between 2-6 years of age. Females are considered physically mature at age 6 and can live to a maximum of 20 years. Males enter puberty around 4 years of age, at which time the nose starts to grow. The nose is a secondary sexual characteristic, like a man's beard, and can reach the astonishing length of 2 feet. Males reach physical maturity around 9 years old. Prime breeding age is 9-12, and they can live to a maximum of 14 years."

Elephant Seals

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:33:43 GMT

Image: Two younger males practice their intimidation/fighting display. Captured late December '09. This rookery is located at Piedras Blancas just north of San Simeon, California. It's the temporary home to approximately 15,000 seals throughout the year. From the internet: "The breeding season begins in late November when mature bulls begin to arrive and fight to determine dominance. The females start arriving in the middle of December and continue to arrive until the middle of February. The first birth is around Christmas, but most births usually occur during the last two weeks of January. The females remain on the beach for about five weeks from the time they come ashore. Amazingly, the males are on the beach for up to 100 days. The seals are fasting while they are on land, and both males and females lose about 1/3 of their body weight during the breeding season."

Elephant Seals

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 10:55:13 GMT

Image: Captured late December '09. This rookery is located at Piedras Blancas just north of San Simeon, California. It's the temporary home to approximately 15,000 seals throughout the year. From the internet: "The northern elephant seals come to the rookery twice a year – once in the late spring and summer for approximately one month to molt and once in the fall or winter to rest if they are young or to give birth and breed if they are mature. The rest of the year, ten months of the year for most of the animals, they are at sea. While at sea they are solitary and spend 80% to 90% of their time deep under water. They dive routinely to 1000 to 2000 feet (300 to 700 meters) staying down typically for periods of one-half hour before returning to the surface to breathe for 2-3 minutes. Individual seals have been known to dive to over 5000 feet and to stay down as long as 2 hours. This behavior continues, uninterrupted by visits to land or longer periods on the surface, 24 hours a day for periods of several months."

Those "boulders" on the beach are actually elephant seals.

Image: This rookery is located at Piedras Blancas just north of San Simeon, California. Five images merged to form the panorama.

From the internet:
"The Northern Elephant Seal, Mirounga angustirostris , is an extraordinary marine mammal. It spends eight to ten months a year in the open ocean, diving 1000 to 5000 feet deep for periods of fifteen minutes to two hours, and migrating thousands of miles, twice a year, to its land based rookery for birthing, breeding, molting and rest. The Piedras Blancas rookery, on Highway 1 seven miles north of San Simeon on the California Central Coast, is home to about 15,000 animals."

Momma and the Twins

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:33:31 GMT

Started the spring garden today with starts from Dwight Nursery. When I opened the tool cupboard for my gardening gloves I found a shredded glove and lots of glove bits scattered about. A mouse had turned my cupboard into a birthing room for her twins and was in the process of expelling them when I interrupted. I dropped gloves, shovel, box of starts and exchanged them for camera and surgical gloves. Mom posed for a few shots then disappeared momentarily before departing out a small hole in the top of the cupboard (I was quite puzzled until then as to how she had gained access). Now a very interesting conundrum: she left without her offspring, or at least visibly so. When I removed everything from the cupboard to clean it, I found no baby mice, and I looked very carefully. So... either she ate them or reversed the birthing. When I first saw her, the twins were half in and half out. The pix don't show that, but it was quite a sight.

A tribes men told me they do this because the donkey has a good voice and sharp eyes. They stand on a high point and look out for predators. Here he stands on an ants hill.

If they see danger they make it known and everyone runs.

Men don't have to worry that much because lions don't like our meet that much unless they are very desperate for food. But how do you know?

Hello 2010

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:45:23 GMT

May the New Year start with an explosion of creativity for each and every one of you...

This image, and the preceding one, are the first of the new Humpback whale-watching season here in the islands. The juvenile males arrive first, followed by the females, and then the courtship and child bearing activities begin, with surface activity peaking in late February.

My first attempt at shooting from a boat (Catamaran), and a humbling experience, realizing how difficult it is to shoot with so much motion going on, and such unpredictable behavior to capture. I will return and practice some more with a longer lens and steadier legs next time. Truly an amazing experience, this blessing from the islands and the sea...

As always, mahalo for your comments

Goodbye 2009

Happy New Year to all of you!

Brainard Recreation Area day hike greeting party.....

A fitting end to the hike (and series) we are greeted by several Gray Jays each hoping for a hand-out of any left over trail mix....a learned behavior that has obviously been rewarded by other hikers. :o)

In reference to my last submission....this is another of the 8-10 or so Gray Jays that were looking for a handout. If he/she would have stayed put I could have reached out and touched its perch.

"On Your Mark ... "

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:48:26 GMT

This is a Ruddy Abyssinian, "Nobgoblin" intent on getting the pheasant feather my husband, Ken, is using to tease him across the shooting table. Abys are wonderful photographic subjects: their fur is ticked, like a squirrel's, which makes their musculature more defined for the camera, they are VERY active cats and not afraid of being photographed or new situations. Ken calls them "monkeys on crack" ... because they are all over the shooting table. To get a shot of an Aby in a formal posed position is very difficult. An action shot is much easier! I love their look: inquisitive, curious, in the moment, and affectionate. They have a sweet face and always play in an entertaining fashion.

Nobgoblin was a good example of the activity of this breed. His back leg and tail were actually out of frame so I had to do some cloning of background to make the image publishable.

He was photographed at TICA's 2008 Jersey State Cat Show in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA.

Formal Dress

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:18:06 GMT

This is an unusual coat for a Maine Coon. I've never seen one like it in the ten years I've been photographing cats. This is BlaznArrow Comanche, a young Maine Coon male from Debbie and Alex McKniff. The tail of the Maine Coon should be a plume, and this boy sure has one. He is statuesque and large. His lynx tips are noticeable and he has a nice tight ear set. Eye shape is "on the money" and he is in top condition and beautifully groomed. He is an excellent example of the breed albeit in a minority coat color. He was a joy to photograph.

I call this "Formal Dress" because the black background makes the image all about him, just like a black tuxedo does for the human male. Suggestions for improvement are welcome!
