Chinese Zodiac - Year of the Dog by Stephanie Smith

The Dog is part of a series of the 12 Animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac — the rest of the zodiac are coming soon! In the foreground is the Chinese character for the Dog. Here’s a close-up of the detail: / Those born in the Year of the Dog are said to be loyal, attentive, and idealistic. They are both intelligent and modest. If you were born in 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934, or 1922 you are probably a Dog, but double-check the exact dates if your birthday is in mid-January to mid-February because the Lunar New Year is on a different date each year. Wikipedia’s Chinese Zodiac page is a good starting point for more information about all of the signs and their meanings. This image is also available as a T-shirt, as a card, and in black-and-white. See the rest of the work in the Chinese Zodiac series! Drawn with a brush-pen on bristol paper; text and color in Photoshop. Copyright 2009 Stephanie Smith.

YeeeeeeHaaaaaa by jesika

Lucy loves to run. She’s a little bundle of energy, unlike her sister Lindi who is (only) blindingly fast towards her food dish – LOL! Just watching Lucy enjoy her little life is exhausting. / I’m trying to find the right colour settings for Barry Pany. This was “standard”, which is incredibly dull and boring, but a crop & a bit of contrast & brightening in PhotoFilter sorted that out. / 251009 / Panasonic G1 crop pf c+b+ / 251009 i’m coming, mummy One with the earth… / Mui-Ling Teh “This is the path I have chosen, no matter what circumstances may come, no matter how hard it is, no matter what I feel inside, I must stay on the path.” Unknown This sky where we live / Is no place to lose your wings. / So love, love, love. / Hafiz حافظ Human beings are members of a whole, / In creation of one essence and soul. / If one member is afflicted with pain, / Other members uneasy will remain. / If you have no sympathy for human pain, / The name of human you cannot retain. / Saadi “Of one Essence is the human race, / thus has Creation put the base; / One Limb impacted is sufficient / For all Others to feel the Mace ” / —Saadi (1184–1283) “There is only one sacred manuscript, the sacred manuscript of Nature, which alone can enlighten the reader.” Hazrat Inayat Khan All profits from my sales will be donated to Butterfly Conservation.

Bast of the Rising Sun by Lynnette Shelley

Bast is the Egyptian goddess with the body of a maiden and the head of a cat. She is the Goddess of cats, the rising sun as well as the moon, truth, enlightenment, sexuality and birth, fertility and the harvest, the home, music, dance and the arts, among many other attributes. She is also sometimes considered to be the Egyptian version of the Greek Artemis and Roman Diana. Halloween was originally celebrated as the Feast of Bast and Sekhmet. Sekhmet is Bast’s twin sister, who has a lion head. While Bast is associated with life, Sekhmet is associated with death and is the destroyer goddess). In this stylized, abstracted portrait, I portrayed Bast with a golden corona or solar disc to represent the rising sun and life. The triangles are a symbol of fertility as well as the creative power. Mixed Media (liquid copper leaf, gold acrylic, oil pastels, colored pencils, and black art marker) on tan Canson pastel paper. Original work measures 19×12.5 inches.

RED SQUIRREL by DilettantO

Digital artwork created for a WWF Numismatic envelope which can be found at: / http://www.wwfstamp.com/oxid.php/sid/9b1b46c5b80106301db3a7c6254bb713/cl/alist/cnid/6434677d3f0bb4f73.42955031 Everyone’s favourite woodland creature. / These adorable critters are very hard to find in the UK ( and possibly the rest of Europe) these days, their habitat having been taken over by the Grey Squirrel and of course, good old Homo Sapiens. They are a delight to watch if you are lucky enough to spot one. Greys are cute as well, but not in the same league as the Red. The Grey’s rather derogatory nickname of ‘Tree Rat’ is not far off the mark… / I couldn’t resist including the one in the background leaping across the other one’s tail. The kind of shot the photographer probably dreams about, but would probably never get.

Adirondack Air Time by bpelkey1

One of my personal favorites. Rainbow trout require clean, cool water with plenty of oxygen. All their requirements are met by the hundreds of spring fed lakes in the Adirondack Park in Upstate New York.

GRAZING by Sandy Stewart

A young Mule Deer Buck can be seen taking a break from the hot sun, foraging for grasses in a lovely grassy shady area along a hillside. The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) gets its name from its large mule like ears. The Mule Deer can be found in the western half of North America. / Mule deer prefer to eat high amounts of fresh grass. Mule deer rarely travel far from water or forage, and tend to bed down within easy walking distance of both. Young mule deer tend to forage together in family groups while bucks tend to travel alone or with other bucks. Most actively foraging around dawn and dusk, they tend to bed down in protected areas mid-day, but will also forage at night in more open agricultural areas, during full moons, or when pressured by hunters. Repeated beds will often be scratched level, about the size of a washtub. Temporary beds will seem little more than flattened grassy grounds. The Mule Deer on average, stand 101 to 106 cms(40 to 42 in) at the shoulders and is 203 cms( 80 in) or so from nose to tail. An adult buck will weigh from 68-136 kgs (150 to 300 lbs) on the hoof, with does averaging 56.6 to 79 kgs (125 to 175 lbs). The occasional trophy-sized mule deer buck may weigh in around 226.7 kgs (500 lbs). “PHOTO INFORMATION” Taken on July 18/09 at 4:20pm in Yellowstone National Park, US. / Taken in Raw, Adobe RGB and aperture priority. / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon EF 100-400 L IS USM lens. / Tripod; Manfrotto, including joystick head / Take at 1/400s, at f/8, 220mm, man col bal 6050 kelvin, iso 800. / Histogram adjustment, lab mode sharpening, lightness channel, unsharpmask ( amount 20 radius 5, threshold 1).
