'Brown' Black bear
Northern Minnesota
Black bears come in more colors than any other North American mammal. They can be black, brown, cinnamon, blond, blue-gray, or white.
I had the pleasure of coming across this beautiful cub with its mother and two other siblings( who were black) a few times over the week.
It was great to watch their behaviour and how cautious they were when an older bear approached, the cubs would be straight up a tree and out of harm's way.
This is Black Tor Fall, where the stream comes swiftly round a heathery bank to glide over moss-covered stones; where dripping ferns margin the waters, and the mountain ash waves her branches gracefully above them.”
Taken at Arenal Observatory Lodge in Costa Rica - a very intriguing place - basically a lodge near the base of a volcano. A very active volcano. The coolest thing would be to see it erupt at night when it would send car-sized boulders of hot lava into the air which would then break up into little bike-sized boulders as it came tumbling down the rocks. Funny place - the big attraction is the volcano, not the wildlife. I was working with the front desk one morning (trying to fax home) when a lady from the states comes to the desk and says, "Excuse me, could you tell me what time the volcano will erupt?".
Just got my flash back from the Canon wizard repair shop. Awesome. If you haven't heard it from me already - Canon service absolutely rocks. Fixed my flash for a very reasonable fee, and put on a new cover to boot (my old one had lots of little plastic burn/melt holes from the better beamer working backwards and frying any ants crawling on my flash!).

_______________________________________________________________________
Black Ice is the 15th Australian and 14th international studio album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It was produced by Brendan O'Brien and released internationally on 17 October 2008. Guitarists Angus Young and Malcolm Young got together in London in 2003 to start composing tracks. Delays to its development occurred due to an injury to bass guitarist Cliff Williams and a change of labels from Atlantic Records to Sony Music. Recording occurred on March and April 2008 at The Warehouse Studio in Canada, the same studio as the band's previous album Stiff Upper Lip, the eight-year gap between them is their longest between successive studio albums. O'Brien tried to recapture the rock sound of the band's early work, as opposed to the blues orientation of predecessors Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip, and made suggestions such as adding "soul crooning" to Brian Johnson's singing. Black Ice has the longest running time of any AC/DC studio effort.
Black Ice was launched exclusively in physical formats, as the group does not sell its music digitally. Walmart got exclusive rights for the North American distribution, and was released along with an extensive marketing campaign which included displays focusing on AC/DC memorabilia. Three singles were issued, "Rock 'n' Roll Train", "Big Jack" and "Anything Goes". Black Ice went to #1 in 29 countries, including Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US. It was the second best-selling record of 2008, behind Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, and had shipped 6 million copies worldwide by December. Critical reviews were generally positive, praising the music and resemblance to the classic AC/DC sound, although some critics found the work overly long and inconsistent. Black Ice was nominated for many awards, including the Grammy, Brit, Juno and ARIA Music Awards; and was supported by a world tour between 2008 and 2010.

I had a great time shooting bees yesterday.
They were more cooperative than usual... so expect more bee shots
A beautiful evening spent down at Black Nap Saltwick Bay, Its a pain in the arse to get to when the tide is in but when you get light like this its very much worth it.
It was also nice to have the company of my mum Lennie who enjoyed herself but wreaked her work shoes. (Sorry mother x )

CAPTAIN ANOUNCES ...we arrived ahead of schedule only 40 light years and we are at the black hole within nanoseconds.
It's amazing that we dont get pulled into the hole .... where all matter including light gets drawn in.
WE have the most modern barrier known to the inter-glactic travellers. Behind the disks on your space view is THE BLACK HOLE.
