This image, originally captured on film in 1987, depicts a royal guard. A lot of Windsor Castle is open to the public, but this image is a peek into the royally private part of the castle. The lonely soldier standing guard in front of his sentry box, the flagstones beneath his feet glistening with the wet of the recent rain, and the magnificent stonework. I think it's a cool image; I hope you do too.

Polar bear, Ursus maritimus, which means "sea bear". Polar bear mother and her cub walking on the coastal Tundra. This bear has not had anything to eat for about 8 months. She is waiting for the ice to freeze on Hudson Bay so that she can hunt for Harp Seals. Adult female polar bears weigh from 330 to more than 550 pounds, 150 to more than 250 kilos. The cub is 10-11 months old & still breast feeding. Polars Bears are endangered due to global warming. It is estimated that the Churchill population will be unviable in 30 years, and it is the largest single Polar bear population. Canon 500D, zoom lens.

All too often we think about the Jungles as being the 'carbon emission traps' for the World... but it is a Watery Planet which we live on. With some 70% of the Globe area covered by water ~ it is the 'carbon fixing' ability of the Phytoplankton ~ the 'blue-green' algae's ~ which are the key to survival on this Watery sphere... which 'we' call EARTH! If we are going to 'fight the battle' and 'fight the battle well' ~ we must realize and understand that 'we must' protect and defend ~ 'our' watery backyard... Some of the fishes, like this 'double-striped soap-fish' ~ seem already poised ~ standing guard and at the ready ~ hidden within the 'black coral forests' underwater ~ but they will not fight ~ like 'jungle warriors!' As...

Just another day out saving the crops.
