I have uploaded a couple of examples of animal behavior...

Well, of course, he is yawning but it sure looks like a big laugh. Animals sometimes yawn when they are nervous. If that grizzly bear mom starts looking bored it is time to slowly retreat.

Polar bears have a remarkable sense of smell. They don't see terribly well but some people say they can smell a seal from 20 miles away. If a seal is under the ice they need to be as close as a mile. In this case he was probably smelling us. Fortunately, we were on a ship. I have walked near grizzlies but polar bears are really scary even though they are the ones that look cute.

One of four shots uploaded showing preening behaviour of a small, female, UK hoverfly.  She's about 8mm / 1/3inch long and hung around for long enough while cleaning herself with her front legs to allow me to get a sequence of shots.  Taken September 2013 and may never sell - but I like it.

I was in Calgary, Alberta Canada for about 36 hours last week.  I only got about two hours of free time - one was spent eating dinner, the other walking around downtown with the camera (while looking for a place to eat).  I ran across Juame Plensa's "Wonderland" sculpture in the plaza outside the Bow Building.  It was breathtaking. This is how I saw it....

Here's a favourite image from the 1980's shot on film that I uploaded a few days ago. This perspective would be virtually impossible to get today because visitors to these ancient Mayan ruins are no longer permitted to climb the pyramid that I took it from, plus the archaeological site has now been extensively "restored." Brings back fond memories of many trips to Mexico before all the cruise ships arrived.
