Another in the farming series, this John Deere tractor is in charge of raking the cut hay into wind rows for the baler to take the next step.
22.05.13 - Swan Triplets

As promised here are some more shots of the baby swans down at the Old Fishponds. It turns out that there are only 3 cygnets, there probably were more originally but nature is hard on these little guys.

Here is a very different looking baby from the same place;

Sandies.
A pair of sandhill cranes, one distinctly larger (the one in the rear), but both seemingly adult from their plumage and conformation, so possibly a breeding pair.  Their feathers are very rust-red in color, presumably from preening with iron-rich muds.

Sandhill cranes breed in the wetlands around Kent Lake in the Kensington Metropark.  They have become acclimated to the presence of people.  Since most people obey the request not to feed the cranes, these magnificent birds tolerate the presence of people without begging food from them, and hence becoming dependent upon them.  When the birds are feeding near one of the hiking trails, you can approach literally to within a few feet of them and they continue on about their business.  Pretty cool!

Warrior dance where local girls are 'kidnapped', Dobu Is, D'Entrecasteaux Islands, PNG

See more photos from Dobu Island here: http://goo.gl/XU5VS

According to the anthropologist, Nancy Sullivan: "Relations between men and women were managed almost entirely by magic. Without a love charm to arouse and create desire, desire does not exist to the Dobuan. Men and women mate, he (Reo Fortune) reported, only because men are constantly exerting magical power over women, and women over men. But this custom made men and women wildly jealous of each other. If their own natural charms were not enough to draw and hold a mate, then they were constantly searching for and testing out counter-magic to deflect competitors and win over the wayward affections of their mate. Needless to say, the pursuit of happiness was anything but peaceful. It created malicious rivalries with suspicions of poisoning and even death between rivals, lovers, spouses and their families.
