Mt. Rainier reveals its majesty as it peeks from behind low clouds and reflects in the still waters of Bench LAke
The eyes of a black panther
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!
I have entered this image into the Scottish Photographic Federation’s Club Print Championship 2007 in the novice category. The first time I have entered a photo competition. This image was awared a Band 2 in the club competition – an above average image, to be highly commended.
Fall color explodes in the meadows around Mt. Rainier. A great day this was hiking with my 12 year old daughter.
Here is a beautiful photograph of a lion looking up to the sky, look nice on a print.
I saw this torn up photo of the Queen at an antique mart in Buenos Aires. I snapped a photo of it and restored it on PhotoShop. I still can’t get over how young she was here. I don’t think I’ve seen her this youthful and beautiful. Sold 1 laminated print to a fan in England.
I’ve always wanted to touch a lion but the whole killing and eating me would stop me from trying. So I’ll get up close and personal by painting him. This is based on a pastel chalk on Mormon board I did years and years ago. Its a massive piece that stares down at me while I’m at the computer.
a little play with the background around this majestic being /

Once back on his feet … er … wings … out into the wild he’ll go!! I love to hear them calling outside my house!! Based on the full size images that I have of him, I believe this to be a red-tailed hawk. From Wikipedia: “The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a medium-sized bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the “chickenhawk,” though it rarely preys on chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common buteos in North America. There are fourteen recognized subspecies, which vary in appearance and range. It is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo in North America, typically weighing from 690 to 1600 grams (1.5 to 3.5 pounds) and measuring 45–65 cm (18 to 26 in) in length, with a wingspan from 110 to 145 cm (43 to 57 in). The Red-tailed Hawk displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females averaging about 25% heavier than males. / The Red-tailed Hawk occupies a wide range of habitats and altitudes, including deserts, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, tropical rainforests, agricultural fields and urban areas. It lives throughout the North American continent, except in areas of unbroken forest or the high arctic. It is legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. / Because they are so common and easily trained as capable hunters, the majority of hawks captured for falconry in the United States are Red-tails. Falconers are permitted to take only hawks in their first year. Adults, which may be bred, are not permitted to be taken for falconry. Falconers prefer to train first year hawks, which have not been locked into uncooperative adult behaviors. / The Red-tailed Hawk also has significance in Native American culture. Its feathers are considered sacred by some tribes, and are used in religious ceremonies.” Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens on June 10, 2009.
