A lazy moment in the life of a polar bear at at the Oregon Zoo. I am going to Churchill next year to see these beautiful animals out on the tundra. There has been a 13% decrease in the Polar bears in that area due to global warming. There is only a short time during the year for viewing these bears, as once the ice solidifies, they migrate in search of food. During the several month hibernation, they have had no food. They replenish their bodies off of seals and other sea going mammals. The polar bears are considered the most dangerous of all bears. While viewing them in their natural habitat, you never leave the gigantic dune buggies. For several days and nights, you sleep, eat and view the wildlife from the dune buggies and from the viewing decks. The bears are considered to be too dangerous to allow people to step down on the tundra (other than the scientists).

This painting was done from a photo I took in Bladen when we were in the U.K as it is where Churchill is buried and near Blenheim where he was born.

“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” / Winston Churchill If you haven’t guessed – that statue is the silhouette of Winston Churchill looking upon Parliament from a small park adjacent. The sound of Churchill’s voice will echo in iconography of Great Britain for a long time. Although well before my time, it’s one of the first things I think of from London, its fierce survival in war time.

Another Aurora. This one captured in Churchill, Manitoba Canada. I was there to photgraph Polar Bears. When an Aurora was spotted we were taken out on the tundra to view it. We were allowed out of the bus for only a few minutes due to fear of polar bears and bitter cold. I had time to grab a couple of shots. Not the best quality, but will give some idea of the beauty of the Northern Lights.

I took this photo in Paso Robles, California at the Justin Winery. Churchill is a basset hound who doubles as the winery greeter…definitely a people dog. (I adore dogs and cats…would adopt every one in the shelters if humanly possible.) Thanks for stopping by for a visit! FEATURED in California Sound with sincere thanks to the hosts!

Race Info / Track: Churchill Downs / Date: May 7, 2009 / Race: 5 – Maiden for Maidens, FIllies Two Years Old / Length: 4 1/2 furlongs on the dirt Horse Info / #2 Wild Forest Cat / Florida Bred Grey Filly 2 years old / By D’wildcat, out of Bon Caro by Bon Point / Owned by Lewis G. Lakin and Diane and Roger Stanton / Trained by Steven M. Asmussen / Jockey: Brian J. Hernandez / Results: finished 1st Camera: Canon Rebel XT w/ Canon 75-300mm lens / as is, from the camera, just cropped in photoshop Weather: Very cloudy… track was a mess until Race 6 when it was upgraded to “good.” Panning shot of the winner of Race 5. Loved how I caught the jockey biting his lip. For anyone who knows me, you know I do that while riding, too. Bad habits die hard. Once I managed to bite down over a jump on my old pony in a riding lesson and I nearly bit through my tongue! I am passionate about all horses, but have always had a dream to own and train my own racehorses someday. It probably won’t happen until I retire, if it does happen, but that’s the fun thing about dreams… you can have them even if they aren’t likely to happen. Although, I have been trying to get a plan together for getting friends together after college graduation to go in and buy a share of a racehorse with my boyfriend and I… so maybe it’ll happen sooner than I think :0) Thanks for your views and comments friends! My first attempt at horse racing photography. Enjoy! ♥ Louisville, Kentucky

Taken at Churchill National Park in Lysterfield, Victoria. I wanted to try something a bit more ‘out there’ with this shot, I wasn’t content with an ordinary sunset shot, as attractive as it was. Let me know what you think of it, because I’m not quite sure what to think! I like it but I’m not sure if its just ‘too much’. Shot with a Nikon D200, 28-70mm lens at 48mm, F/16, 100 ISO, polarizer. 9 shot HDR, tone mapped twice, once for the foreground and once for the sky. Merged/mapped in Photomatix and assembled in Photoshop. BEST VIEWED LARGER The story: Lawrence Norton and I decided to go and explore some fire access trails at Churchill NP which is only about 5 mins from my house. During the nightmare bushfire season this year not even this little park was safe. So with his trusty old FJ40 Landcruiser we managed to get to the top of the hill beneath these massive electrical towers, where we caught an awesome sunset. Because the fires had only just been extinguished in that area barely a few days earlier, police and the CFA were still on the lookout for suspicious behavior, and a police helicopter spotted us and was circling above us at one stage looking at what we were doing. The chopper eventually flew away but then about half an hour later we realised exactly why it was so curious as to what we were up to; a fire had broken out in the valley barely 200 meters from where we were shooting. Fire trucks were driving right past us and by that stage it was getting dark so they didn’t spot us. It was an interesting evening!

After an Australian bushfire, there is an eerie silence. There is no birdsong. There are no cicadas. Native animals have deserted the area. You cannot even hear the racing, scorching northerly breeze – because there are no leaves to rustle in the heat. Every single sound that we associate with our bushland has disappeared. Gone. Vanished. There is nothing. You can hear the rasp of your own breathing as you walk through the tracts of land that have been claimed by voracious flames. This was taken just after a bushfire raced through Churchill National Park here in Melbourne on 30 January this year. I photographed the actual fire from a ridge and could scarcely believe how it claimed an entire valley in about nine minutes. Later, after the roads were re-opened to the public, I shot this as the sun began to sink past the blackened gums and eucalypts. It was Nature’s promise of another day. Less than two kilometres away from where I took this shot, the Rowville CFA (Country Fire Authority) crew was busy fighting a fire that had only just started. They had it under control in minutes. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/180 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm. 107-4761

I’ve photographed this team of working horses on a couple of occasions. Their colours certainly compliment each other.

Ever so curious, this polar bear is eyeing our little boat to see what we’ll do next. Extremely powerful muscles make the polar bear an expert swimmer. Using its forepaws to propel its body through the water, hind quarters just sail along behind the bear. Perfectly adapted to the Arctic, the polar bear reigns supreme over its realm. Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. July 11, 2009. Canon 40D, Canon 100-400mm lens, shutter 1/500, f/7.1, focal length 300mm, ISO 400.

An Inukshuk (“likeness of people” in Inuktitut) on the shoreline of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. Stone Inukshuks have been constructed for eons by the Inuit in far northern arctic latitudes. Inukshuks were frequently used to designate direction; some have ‘arms’ longer on one side to point the correct path toward a distant village on the featureless arctic tundra. Still other Inukshuks designated a food cache, trails, or hunting grounds, all of which were crucially important to arctic dwellers. This particular Inukshuk stands in sub-arctic Churchill, Manitoba, Canada along the coastline of Hudson Bay. As dusk took over from this long lasting arctic sunset over Hudson Bay, beluga whales fed on capelin (an oily bait fish) in the frigid water just off the beach amidst ice floes. All was silent other than for the cries of seabirds intermingled with whale breaths. I guess this sums up why I love the arctic. Canon 50D, Canon 10-22mm lens, shutter 1/200, f/10.0, exposure bias -1.33, focal length 17mm, ISO 400. Churchill, Manitoba, Canada July 12, 2009

/ Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. / Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour!” – Winston Churchill – 1940 Churchill and Hitler figures at Madame Tussauds – London

A young mom and her twin cubs catch the sent of an approaching female bear downwind. Normally the mother bears tolerate female bears to a certain extent, however, this young mom panicked, pulled her cubs to her with a growl and they took off running. / The cubs are in constant danger from male bears, and the moms keep a wide berth around the males. / Thankfully these are healthy cubs. There was a good ice flow after these cubs were birthed allowing for the female to catch seals and to remain healthy while nursing these bears. These are 10 month old cubs, they will stay with their mom for 2 years learning everything needed for survival in this tough environment. / Sadly the year previous to this was not so kind to the bears. These bears are dependent on the ice flows for their main meal (seals). The warming weather in the previous year did not allow the moms to feed and many saw starving cubs when they took the trip to Churchill. Typically it is lucky if one out of the two cubs survive. On our trip we saw quite a few very healthy moms and twin cubs. / From The Bears of Churchill Collection / deridorityphotography.com / All proceeds from any sales of these images go to Polar Bears International.

A polar bear is semi stuck in a snowbank hole he dug. After a while he gave up and enjoyed his relaxing position. He spent quite a bit of time being entertained with surrounding pieces of kelp. / While polar bears can be comical and playful they are one of the most dangerous mammals on earth. During my stay on the tundra, a worker at the interpretive center a short distance from the Tundra Buggy Hotel we stayed in, was attacked by a mother bear. One of her two cubs distracted her long enough for the worker to escape with his life. / When shooting the bears of Churchill pack long fast glass with you (rent if needed) as well as an extra camera body with a wide angle lens. The lighting is flat and low so expect to bump your ISO up to accommodate and over ride any movement in the tundra buggy. Also set your camera to fire in bursts to make sure you end up with at least one image in your group that is in focus. Use the autofocus to obtain original focus on the eyes and adjust as needed. The action can be fast, with bears or fox on both side of the tundra buggy and the bears can be far away and then all of a sudden right under you (this is where the wide angle comes in). / This image is from the Bears of Churchill Collection / deridorityphotography.com / All proceeds from sale of these images go to Polar Bears International. / Deri
