STALKING TIGER Slowly through the grass / The tiger stalked his prey / His movement long and languid / In the middle of the day / The sun was high and bright / As a vivid burning orb / His body moving slowly / Less heat there to absorb / Gazelles were moving fitfully / Around the waterhole / Nervous eyes were flitting wildly / As the world they did behold / A movement in the distance / And the animals did jump / The nerve ends all a jangling / Each one with quivering rump / Then like avenging angels / The tiger now does pounce / Gazelles are scattering wildly / With a death like spinning dance / And one of them is slower / No longer held at bay / The tiger now triumphant / As it finishes its prey Phil Sanders (aka Brummieboy) / 5/4/07 Thanks for the wonderful poem Phil!

This is the unframed version without a quote attached. There have been requests for this version. Captive “The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Who is you’re hero? / / Name: Panthera tigris sumatrae (Sumatran Tiger) Description: The Sumatran tiger has the darkest coat of all tigers. Its broad, black stripes are closely spaced and often doubled. Unlike the Siberian tiger, it has striped forelegs. Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Males average 2.4 meters (8 feet) in length from head to tail and weigh about 120 kilograms (264 pounds). Females measure approximately 2.2 meters (7 feet) in length and weigh about 90 kilograms (198 pounds). Distribution: The Sumatran tiger is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in habitat that ranges from lowland forest to submontain and montain forest with some peat-moss forest. Biology: The Sumatran tiger eats wild pig, big deer (called rusa), and small deer (called muntjak or barking deer). The specific range size of this tiger is not know, however the population density is approximately 4–5 adult tigers/100 km 2 (39 mile 2) in optimal lowland rainforest. As elevation increases through submontain and montain forests, the number of tigers in any given area decreases because there is less prey available. Status in the wild: 400-500 wild Sumatran tigers were believed to exist in 1998, primarily in the island’s national park areas, but no island-wide census or monitoring system has been possible. Tiger numbers have continued to decline because of poaching of tigers to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts. The last remnants of lowland forest are being eliminated to establish oil palm plantations and for shifting agriculture by recent settlers from other areas of Sumatra and Indonesia. Ongoing road development makes many formerly inaccessible mountain areas accessible to illegal logging even on the steepest slopes, and many mountainous areas are being converted into plantations for coffee and other products for international markets. Tigers are legally protected but are not highly valued. Captive breeding: For three years, the Indonesian Zoological Parks’ Association (PKBSI) has been working with the Tiger Global Conservation Strategy to develop a conservation program for Sumatran tigers. In addition to the 65 Sumatran tigers living in Indonesian zoos, there are 55 tigers managed by North American zoos, 100 in European zoos, and 12 in Australasian zoos. This captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. The Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Masterplan now has the potential to function as the heart of the Sumatran tiger population worldwide. It is designed to preserve sufficient genetic diversity to reinforce both captive and wild populations, thus fulfilling its goal to ensure that the in situ tiger program comprises verifiable founders permanently identified and registered in the Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Studbook. It also extends the capabilities of Indonesian zoo staff to professionally manage their tiger programs in Indonesia, and at the same time serves as a model for other range country tiger management programs in Southeast Asia.

One of the reasons I love Redbubble so much, is the inspiration that other artists give me. Some time ago my australian mate Michael Bermingham posted Old Yanchep Inn which to me is a timeless classic. Then Shelly Hiebert posted Sacred which is just a fantastic image. I always wanted to get a shot similar to both of those and digging through my archives back to 2007, I came across this image I took with my Nikon D50 in the Madison State Capitol building. A little HDR processing, converted to B&W, little noise reduction applied, some Dodge & Burn (which Kimberly Palmer first introduced me to) and this is what I came up with. Please also look at Michael’s and Shelly’s image, as well as Kimberly’s work.

One of most favorite songs of all time…song / The Power Of Love ~ Celine Dion / The whispers in the morning / Of lovers sleeping tight / Are rolling like thunder now / As I look in your eyes I hold on to your body / And feel each move you make / Your voice is warm and tender / A love that I could not forsake (first chorus) / cause I am your lady / And you are my man / Whenever you reach for me / Ill do all that I can Lost is how Im feeling lying in your arms / When the world outsides too / Much to take / That all ends when Im with you Even though there may be times / It seems Im far away / Never wonder where I am / cause I am always by your side (repeat first chorus) (second chorus) / Were heading for something / Somewhere Ive never been / Sometimes I am frightened / But Im ready to learn / Of the power of love The sound of your heart beating / Made it clear / Suddenly the feeling that I cant go on / Is light years away A picture of me and my man! Been together for 18 years now! / Thank you for viewing!

Music is powerful. It can set a tone, it can completely change a mood, it can lead and motivate the listener; music empowers both the one who makes it and the one who hears it… in infinite ways. Music is true magic. Just one look at my username lets everyone know how important music is to me. It is my primary art and main expression. I love being able to translate that love to visual art, and hopefully I can touch people with my images as well as my voice. /

“The stillness of the moment / The outside world cannot touch me here. / Everyday concerns melt away, meaningless. Contentment fills my heart. The Spirit of the Place is close / I sit within its sacred boundary. / It resides within me / We are joined soul to soul The surface of the river is calm / It stretches out from me / Reflecting the blue of the sky / As it winds its way on its journey The gulls glide on the breeze / Circling high above my head / Under the gaze of the sun. / I am enveloped in the heat of the day. There is always a story to tell / If you can find it / Looking under stones upon the beach / Are there secrets here? / I sense the power of this place / Moving in its own way / Leading me along the path / Of spirit and inspiration. Only the moment matters here / This reconnection to the Earth / Lost in the tracks of time I reclaim the past, reclaim my memory. / The Spirit knows its own truth / It weaves its own reality / Whispering in a quiet voice / It challenges me to understand.” ~ Poetry by Vanora Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.
