Big Horn, small foot by David Barr

The Desert Bighorn sheep are truly amazing and majestic creatures! With their slender legs and small hooves, they seem quite top heavy. Weighing in at around 200 lbs, and only around 40″ tall at the shoulder, they are astonishingly agile and graceful, and can run as fast as 40 mph! Their rubber-like hooves allow excellent mobility on steep rock faces providing them with remarkable stability while climbing. Until fairly recently, it was very unusual to see them at all in California unless you were high in the desert hills of a remote area. However, the shortage of rainfall has forced them to come into lower elevations to seek water.

HMS Belfast by Nicolas Barison

HMS Belfast is a Town-class light cruiser that was built for the Royal Navy. She is now permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum. Construction of Belfast, the first ship in the Royal Navy to be named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of ten Town-class cruisers, began in December 1936. She was launched on St Patrick’s Day 1938. Commissioned in early August 1939 shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Belfast was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany. In November 1939, Belfast struck a German mine and, in spite of fears that she would be scrapped, spent more than two years undergoing extensive repairs. Belfast returned to action in November 1942 with improved firepower, radar equipment, and armour. Belfast saw action escorting Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union during 1943 and in December 1943 played an important role in the Battle of North Cape, assisting in the destruction of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord supporting the Normandy landings. In June 1945, she was redeployed to the Far East to join the British Pacific Fleet, arriving shortly before the end of the Second World War. Belfast saw further combat action in 1950–52 during the Korean War and underwent an extensive modernisation between 1956 and 1959.
In 1967, efforts were initiated to preserve her as a museum ship
