These pics were all taken @150mm focal length or greater.
i seperated these fro mthe rest as i discovered them to be extremely soft especially when taken with the widest aperture available. Some pics taken at F/8 or greater are useable but still soft.
cos of these pics i have replaced my kit 50-200mm pentax lens with a tamron 28-300 which seems to be sharp all the way through the focal length ... gosh darn it ... i guess i have to go back to Chester Zoo :)))))

FWC releases female panther rescued as kitten in 2011
Biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) released a female Florida panther Thursday night at the Picayune Strand State Forest in Collier County.
The panther and its brother had been raised at the White Oak Conservation Center in Yulee since they were 5 months old. The FWC rescued the two panthers as kittens in September 2011 near the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed in northern Collier County after their mother was found dead.
“This panther is healthy and has grown to a size that should prepare her for life in the wild,” said Darrell Land, FWC panther team leader. “The goal in any panther rescue is to be able to release the animal back into the wild to aid in the recovery of this endangered species.”
The release was coordinated in consultation with partners from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Five other kittens of similar ages – three females and two males – have been raised at White Oak and released in south Florida.
“We are grateful for the work the staff at White Oak has done to prepare this panther and others for release,” said Land.
Biologists chose the Picayune Strand State Forest for the release of this panther after they evaluated the home ranges of other females in the region and found available space between them.
An estimated 100 to 160 adult and subadult panthers remain in south Florida.
Florida residents can support conservation efforts like the rescue and rehabilitation of this panther through the purchase of a panther license plate. Fees from license plate sales are the primary funding source for the FWC’s research and management of Florida panthers.
To report dead or injured panthers, call the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or #FWC or *FWC on a cell phone.

Happy Tails: Blizzard

Yesterday my family and I came to Lollypop looking for another dog. We decided on Blizzard because we already have a beagle and thought they would get along well. The woman helping us with the adoption was a little concerned about Blizzard getting along with our other dog. I just wanted to let her, and anyone else, know that Blizzard has made himself at home and is getting along great with our beagle, Shiloh! I've attached a picture as proof! Thank you so much for helping us make Blizzard a part of our family!

2011-06-30 - Newest Book Pile - 0014
Image by smiteme
Since moving into a larger place, my (already-too large) book pile has expanded from a stack of books on the bedside table to an entire book shelf. (It's only got three shelves, though; methinks I need to replace it with one that rises to the ceiling!) The magazines, which used to be housed on the top shelf, were recently relocated to the television unit so that I'd have more room for BOOKS!
Of course, I still have a few books stacked on my bedside table, for easy grabbing.
Reading! Fuck you reality.

Animal track casts are an excellent way to introduce and involve children in a hands on way with wildlife and wildlife behavior, inside and outside of the classroom. Older children can actually assist in the casting process; younger ones can assist in finding track, or, using previously cast tracks, make their own tracks (footprints and handprints) and animal tracks in any soft medium available.

C.Harper's Lady
Image by eyewashdesign: A. Golden
Charlie Harper hand-painted signature: for Todd Oldham by La-z-Boy Artist event: 27 Sep. 2006
ARTIST BIO:
Prolific illustrator, Mr. Charlie Harper, is an artist respected for his colorful & reductive illustrations of nature & animals. Charley-as he prefers-was born on August 4th, 1922 in Frenchtown, West Virginia and served in World War II during his tenure as a student at the Arts Academy of Cincinnati.
In 1947 Charley graduated from art school, married his college love, Edie, & received the first-ever Wilder Traveling Award. Charley & Edie honored the award by traveling for several months across the western United States. Upon returning from his inspirational travels, Harper began working for a commercial art studio in Cincinnati.
After only a few years, he set off on his own as a freelance illustrator for clients including the Ford Motor Company; Golden Press; Crosley Broadcasting Corporation & the National Parks Service.
Charley Harper is both an artist & a conservationist, having designed posters that shed light on our disappearing natural world. In 2005, Harper created a poster for Cornell University's Bird Laboratory. Charley, Edie & their son, Brett live in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the Cincinnati Museum of Modern Art will feature a retrospective of his prolific work starting 01 November, throughout 2007.
The work which appears here (Painted Bunting), is a limited silk-screen produced in 1952 for 'Ford Times', a now defunct lifestyle magazine produced by the Ford Motor Company and then later compiled for the now out of print book, 'Birds and Words'. Not only is Charley's appealing style clearly of the spare & modern tone we associate with the mid - century moment in art & design, he is also a capable naturalist who has been called, "THE Audubon of his time."
His depictions of flora & fauna convey with only the most necessary marks the essences of his subjects. He is also a humorist, yet does not anthropomorphize the animals he chooses to show us. One gets the sense that Mr. Harper doesn't feel the remove of human distance or superiority toward his subjects, while also respecting with a keen observational power the intricacies & sublime design that is occurring before our eyes & at all times in nature.
I was fortunate to have been a part of hosting an art exibit with him in SoHo. After 50 years, the bird silkscreens he produced for 'Ford Times Magazine' have come full-circle to help bring his name to the lips of several new generations...Go Charles!
His book, Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life designed by Todd Oldham, will be launcing in Spring, 2007. It is a collection of Charley's life's work from 1947-2006. Included will be: illustrated work from Betty Crocker's 'Dinner for Two', 'The Golden Book of Biology', 'The Animal Kingdom', 'Ford Times', National Parks Posters, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and many more!
The limited edition book, sized 18.5" x 13" (the actual size of Charley's silk-screen prints), is hardcover with an embossed box, includes a silk-screen print, 385 pages and over 500 images. The Popular Edition book, sized at 12" x 8.5" with an embossed cover, has 385 pages and over 500 images. It will be available Autumn, 2007.
Place of Elijah's Sacrifice on Mt. Carmel
Image by OSU Special Collections & Archives : Commons
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The one great name associated with Mount Germel is that of the prophet Elijah, and the one great event in the prophet's sacrifices in the sight of all Israel, when the solemn choice of the nation was made between Jehovah and Baal. Near the foot of the mountain overlooking the plain, stands a rocky plateau which tradition has fixed upon as the site of the two rival altars. Around one altar stood the four hundred priest of Ball, shouting hoarsely for their god to send the fire upon the waiting sacrifice, but calling in vain. By the other altar stood Elijah alone, the prophet of Jehovah, lifting his solitary voice to God. In a moment his prayer was answered; the fire fell from the heavens;the offering was burned; the water in the trench around it was licked up; even the dust upon the altar was consume and its stones were destroyed under the intense heat; while the people shouted with one voice. "Jehovah, He is God!""

Pigs who died in transit
Image by Farm Sanctuary
Pigs, who died in transit, dumped behind a truck at the slaughterhouse.
Quote from Lancaster Farming (October 27, 1990): "Death losses during transport are too high -- amounting to more than million per year. But it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out why we load as many hogs on a truck as we do. It's cheaper... Even with a zero death rate that might be associated with providing more space on the truck, the hogs we save would not be enough to pay for the increased transportation costs of hauling fewer hogs on a load."

Nala, Senior Dog Wishes to Share a Home with Seniot Human(s)
Image by rikkis_refuge
We have a beautiful mostly black Shepherd here named "Nala." She is 50 lbs, 8 years of age and spayed / vaccinated / tested, etc. She is housebroken, plays fetch, knows "sit" and "shake," and is an indoor-only dog. She is used to living with senior adults. She was brought to the shelter when her person was put in a retirement home and the grown son did not want her. (Don't you hate kids like this?)
Nala is selective with other dogs but tolerates those more submissive in nature. She does need to be fed seperately. She is terrified of children; we had an animal communicator work with her and the feeling she got was that Nala thinks children are going to hurt her and she has to get them first. Because she doesn't like children and is an adults-only dog, we are unable to take her to adoption events. Most animals are seen and adopted this way. Without off-site exposure it's very difficult for a dog To get a home.
She is a lovely dog and there are homes out there where an adults-only dog can have a good, safe life. After all, she had one before coming here! Anyway, could you please see if you know someone who will help her? She won't get any exposure sitting in here and the housebroken indoor dogs shouldn't spend months in a kennel.
Thanks a bunch,
Beth Hamilton, Director, Orange County Animal Shelter, 540- 672-1124.

No Photography, These Animals Are Highly Sensitive
Image by Thomas Hawk
One of the things that annoys me to no end is when I see "no photography" policies that are put into place in order to restrict flash photography. Recently I encountered an example of this at the new California Academy of Sciences, a wonderful and remarkable museum where my family has purchased a family membership and which I've already shot pretty extensively so far.
I have to give the Academy high marks for allowing photography in the entire museum for the most part. It's an incredible architecturally significant (and actually living) structure. The exhibits really are first rate and the fact that you can shoot there (and even wear a backpack) are really great. But I was disappointed recently when I visited and saw several "no photography" signs in the basement aquarium of the new museum.
People were ignoring these signs pretty much and shooting anyways, but that's beside the point. I sat and watched one of the "no photography" exhibits for a while and saw several altercations between photographers and museum patrons. One patron chided another for taking a non-flash photograph, "can't your read," she curtly said to the photographer, "it says 'no photography' why do people like you always think they're above the law."
The photographer said that they thought that the museum meant no "flash photography," (they were using an iPhone without a flash). The woman got agitated with the photographer and continued the altercation, "if they meant no 'flash' photography then it would say 'no flash photography'," she continued. "People like you are so rude," she chided the photographer again.
After seeing a few altercations like this I decided to investigate this policy a bit so I went to talk to one of docents. I asked her why the signs were there and asked if it had to do with flash photography. She told me that actually it did not. She said that cameras have lasers in them and that when the shutter opens the laser in the camera can shoot out and harm the fish. Now, I know that there are not lasers in cameras, at least not in my new Canon 5D M2 that I was shooting with that day," but I left it at that.
When I returned home from my trip I contacted the museum aquarium staff and inquired about the policy by email. The response that I got back was pretty much exactly as I expected. The museum staff confirmed what I assumed the reason why they had the "no photography" signs on certain exhibits was. They said it was to "be on the safe side, lest someone forget to turn off his/her flash."
Now while I can see why the museum staff has this policy in place, I still don't agree with it. My Canon 5D M2 doesn't even have a flash on it. I couldn't use flash on their exhibit even if I wanted to. And it sort of drives me crazy when people try to prohibit all photography based on arguments about flash.
So what's the alternative? Well, they could easily replace the "no photography" sign with a sign that says "no photography without museum permission, or museum permit," and point people to the staff offices for a permit. Here if there were photographers like me who really wanted to shoot those animals they could reconfirm and stress (if it's indeed that important) that any photography must be done *without* a flash. I could then return with my simple paper permit in hand and when that batty woman who won't mind her own business starts to chide me I could pull out my "permit" and show her that indeed I do have permission.
Of course as people mostly were just ignoring the sign anyways, while I was there at least, they could also just consider changing the sign to a more photographer friendly, "no flash photography," with an explanation that flash really stresses the animals out to put extra emphasis on it.
They also might want to consider telling their docents that digital cameras don't shoot laser beams. This is not Buck Rogers in the 21st Century -- it's a science museum, where it's probably better that policies be based on real actual science, not science fiction.
Florine[F]9
Image by tankgirlrs
While reading up on Florine I found out some alarming things dealing with the disposal of the of one of Florine's byproducts, Fluoride. When most people think of Florine or Fluoride they think of teeth and dentists.
However, it is primarily used for insecticides and poisons, etching glass like the markings on a light bulb, and the production of other materials like nuclear fuels, Aluminum, low friction plastics, and haloalkanes such as chlorofluorocarbons, which are used extensively in air conditioning and in refrigeration. (They have been banned for these applications because they contribute to ozone destruction.)
Some United States and Soviet space scientists in the early 1960s studied elemental fluorine as a possible rocket propellant, due to its exceptionally high specific impulse when used as an oxidizer. The experiments failed because fluorine proved difficult to handle, and its combustion product (typically hydrogen fluoride) was extremely toxic and corrosive.
Other uses in History of Florine was in the Manhattan Project which was the development of the atomic bomb, Hitler and Stalin were said to use it to keep prisoners docile and tame... then in the 1940's they started Water fluoridation.
This is where it gets scarey, Water fluoridation is the dumping of Fluoride into our drinking water and was presented to the public as a way to fight tooth decay, when in actuality it was NEVER conclusively proven to help at all. Not to mention that it is used, with results, for a lot of destructive and harmful things(see above uses) and it was also used in pharmaceuticals like anti depressants and mood stabilizers. SO why would the public, after just being told that Fluoride was in all of the newest and best insecticides for their crops, believe that it is also safe to be in there drinking water, in their children's water?
Why was it being put there at all?
In the 1930s, a lot of law suits were coming up for villages and farms that were down stream or down wind of a factory that used Florine to refine Aluminum and other products, claiming that their crops and animals were dieing and many of the people themselves suffered some sort of health issue including tooth decay. To avoid the lawsuits the companies quickly tried to find something that said it was safe to dump it, forging scientific reports to their favor. Allowing them to not have to pay for the proper disposal of the waste, and even get paid by the government TO dump it in the drinking supply because of its "helpful effects on teeth".
Some Facts about Fluoride (F-)
~low concentrations of F− in drinking water protect against dental caries (originally investigated in the 1930s by H. T. Dean et al (some literature refs here, at the bottom)
~below 1 ppm F−, there are no adverse effects, short term or long term
~2-3 ppm F− can turn teeth brown
~at 50 ppm F− harmful toxicity occurs
~150 mg of NaF causes poisoning, but this can be easily reversed with appropriate treatment
Unknowns that make me wonder... water suppliers CAN NOT accurately control the exact levels of fluoride that individuals receive, nor can they monitor the response in people drinking it. Our intake of Florine is from not just water, but also the air, since the factories also burn off the waste that way, and it is in toothpaste and other dental products. How do we know how much we are getting?? How do we know that the long term affects of low does of fluoride over generations isn't affecting us? Making us more docile? Affecting our development?
More and more scientist are coming forward speaking against Water fluoridation, urging the government to put a stop to it all.
WHY I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT WATER FLUORIDATION
Why I am now officially opposed to adding fluoride to drinking water
