At nearly 8,000' Bryce Canyon is susceptible to every form of weather imaginable. The warm palette of colors that embody the walls, windows and hoodoos of Bryce fit the warm weather of summer to a tee.
When winter comes, however, with the occasional heavy snowfall, the cognitive dissonance of being surrounded by warm colored rocks topped by bright white snow in freezing cold temperatures adds to the surreal splendor that makes this place so magical.

Sparrowhawk [Accipiter nisus] f.
This little beauty appeared at The Pixies just after I had re-filled all the bird feeders...All the usual little songbirds, blue-, great-, and coaltits, nuthatches and chaffinches, were having a feast when, suddenly, they all disappeared into the trees.
I was thrilled to have caught this image but the implications of her presence here are really quite chilling...Of course, she has to eat, too, but the wee birdies have absolutely no chance against these lethal talons and beak.
She left this perch very soon after arriving and the wee birdies soon resumed their eating and seed- and nut-gathering.
The Circle Of Life? Ambivalence and cognitive dissonance...

Thank you peanut. No, his name is not peanut, it’s Cooper the juvenile Cooper’s hawk. Why thank the peanut? Couple of reasons. First, without the peanuts, this shot and many others would not have been possible for me to take in the comfort zone of my yard. Huh? Well, peanuts attract Jays and Jays attract …. Yes, you guessed it. Secondly, I am dealing with a bit of budgetary cognitive dissonance here. My dollar outlay for peanuts has reached new heights and is now my number one household expense. I spend more on peanuts than I do on gas (that’s both types of gas, the one for the truck and the heating kind for the house), phone, electricity (not combined, just individually), cable modem and tv package. There are of course benefits to this, mostly to the environment. It keeps me and my truck off the road polluting the atmosphere while taking pictures of Cooper in the yard instead of spending fruitless hours searching for him and his companions in the environs.
So, enjoy this shot and keep in mind how truly environmentally friendly it is even though produced by an Albertan.
By the way, it’s a juvie because he does not have the red eye that apparently can take up to four years to develop. I think I got that piece of wisdom from Don Delaney. It does not take me nearly that long to sport that red in the eye. One night of partying and …. maybe I should show Cooper.
And since this was taken on a Tuesday and it’s gone now, the choice is obvious. You are welcome Lou.
We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

1986 Mitsubishi Debonair V3000 Royal, created as a fountain on a raised platform at the site of a building which was demolished after the earthquakes. The work was part of SCAPE Public Art festival in Christchurch in 2022. This piece is the work of Eddie Clemens, an artist of New Zealand.
Le capucin à poitrine jaune fait partie des rares espèces de primates à utiliser des outils, comme des pierres en guise de casse-noix. Très expressifs par leurs mimiques faciales, ces singes sont encore aujourd’hui très étudiés par les scientifiques pour comprendre l’évolution des capacités cognitives, et par extension l’évolution de l’Homme.
ndémique de la forêt brésilienne, le capucin à poitrine jaune est l’un des primates néotropicaux les plus rares. Il est actuellement classé parmi les 25 espèces de primates les plus menacées. Il est dit en "danger critique d’extinction" . Quelques centaines d'individus seulement survivraient encore dans la nature.

The yellow-breasted capuchin monkey is one of the rare primate species to use tools, such as stones as nutcrackers. Very expressive through their facial mimics, these monkeys are still being studied by scientists to understand the evolution of cognitive abilities, and by extension the evolution of humans.
he yellow-breasted capuchin monkey is one of the rarest neotropical primates in the Brazilian forest. It is currently classified as one of the 25 most endangered primate species. It is said to be critically endangered. Only a few hundred individuals are believed to survive in the wild.

Rats always go for cheese, and rabbits always go for carrots, but we could do better than that. We do not always have to think immediately for our own sake and for our own comfort alone. Instead, right from the moment cognitive mind begins to function, we could think in terms of something more than that. As human beings, we could always go for sanity.

We interrupt the cavalcade of birds to recognize the advent of spring in Sugar Land, Texas. My neighborhood mandates 4 live oaks in every front lawn, which gives me cognitive dissonance every year. Live oaks, Quercus virginiana are--utterly wonderful--deciduous evergreens. In the spring, they drop last year's leaves just as the new buds appear. At about the same time, they produce enormous quantities of pollen, dusting every surface, and then drop the spent anthers along with the leaves.
Very weird for this Iowa boy to come outdoors in the warm spring and see the whole earth covered with fallen leaves and anthers. Fall comes in the Autumn, with crisp football weather, doesn't it? No, not here.
Any resemblance to the Minotaur of Greek myth is purely coincidental.
