Breeze in Volterra
Where we sit, a breeze blows.
What we hear is buzzing.
What we are doing?
Drinking.
On the way a dozen butterflies
purposelessly through every wind.
What we are doing?
Biting.
Grasses bend and nod,
the butterfly passes by.
That is how they can move,
the earth holds their life.
Of the carrots from the freezer,
out of four, two are left.
What we are doing?
Nibbling.
Nothing else.

This coastal brown bear yearling is rolling on the ground and chomping on its claws while giving a glance in my direction. Probably looking to see what's making that shutter sound as the cameras click away around me, capturing some endearing moments in the life this young cub. Momma bear was very close by during this.

El Capitan is a massive granite monolith in Yosemite National Park, California, famously rising approximately 3,000 feet vertically from the floor of the valley. It is the largest granite monolith in the United States and is roughly 1.5 miles wide. Formed roughly 100 million years ago from igneous rock (granite), it was later sculpted into its iconic vertical shape by glacial action.
The name is a Spanish translation of the Southern Sierra Miwok name of "Tutokanula", often interpreted as "Rock Chief" or "The Captain".
The legend behind this massive “Rock Chief” in local Native American lore, was created to honor a lowly inchworm that successfully climbed the face to rescue two stranded bear cubs.
In modern times, El Cap has become the "mecca" of big-wall climbing offering over 70 established routes. Most parties take 3 to 5 days to summit, eating and sleeping (along with everything else) on portable hanging cots.
My son’s party of 4 took 4 days and 3 nights to summit! Serious nail biting time for all Moms involved!!!

CURVATURES

Leur présence discrète invite à ralentir, à observer les formes essentielles et à redécouvrir la poésie du vivant dans sa plus simple expression. Une pause visuelle où le naturel tend à l'abstraction

Adolescent male Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) battling on the surface of the bay. These guys play-fought right in front of us for almost an hour. Most of the action was going on under the surface, but there was plenty of biting and sniping on the surface.
Platypus courtship at Peterson Creek, Yungaburra QLD.
The female was not interested though and eventually got away from the male by twisting and turning. If interested she will repsond by biting onto his tail too.
Black-shouldered Kite
≠======================≠
This is one of the few young Kites we've seen in nearly 12 months.
This time last year we had as many as 16 young Kites working over the paddocks.
The female had remained on nest through some of the worst of our Spring weather with biting cold days and torrential downpours.
This is the only one of the clutch to make it.
Now we wait to see if they return of another try.

...it's a classic cheese burger, delicious, but small.
Very small actually...so small that I bit my index finger at the first bite.
To excuse my stupidity, I say I was very hungry and the smell was mouthwatering.

Published by Finch Publishing, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
It's available in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa at the moment. My publishers are looking to potentially open distribution deals with the UK and US, too. But that will come later (they're tight markets to pull from this little corner of the world!).
It can be purchased, as far as I know, from here, in the meantime.
It was only launched at the end of last month. It is based on my diaries. It has recently been endorsed by the Eating Disorders Foundation of Australia.
I am still a little sensitive about the title and cover. I chose neither.

Curious
Zebras are African equines with distinctive black-and-white striped coats. There are three extant species: the Grévy's zebra, plains zebra, and the mountain zebra. Zebras share the genus Equus with horses and asses, the three groups being the only living members of the family Equidae. Zebra stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. Several theories have been proposed for the function of these stripes, with most evidence supporting them as a form of protection from biting flies.

Records have been shattered as the polar vortex unleashed the harshest cold in years on the Midwestern United States during the final days of January.
After the polar vortex plunged southward, temperatures plummeted under 20 below zero F from North Dakota to northern Illinois during the morning hours of both Wednesday and Thursday.
Biting winds made the extreme cold more life-threatening as AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures dropped under 50 below zero. Frostbite can occur in mere minutes on exposed skin in these conditions.
This shoot was all about Big crazy WILD hair. Biting handcuffs, applying lipstick like a Rockstar and a little Bad Habit of smoking. Hope you all enjoy. I had fun doing it.
