« Ce que le public réclame, c'est l'image de la passion, non la passion elle-même. »
Roland Barthes
Castor et Pollux sont frères jumeaux issue de l'union de Léda et de Zeus et de Léda et de Tyndare. Castor et Pollux apparaissent comme le symbole de l'amour fraternel et désintéressé. Ils incarnent aussi une vision cyclique du temps. Transportés au ciel, Castor et Pollux deviennent la constellation du Gémeaux. Les deux étoiles les plus brillantes de la constellation passant alternativement l'une devant l'autre, comme Castor et Pollux qui alternent séjours aux Enfers et sur l'Olympe.

Une moment inoubliable ce matin-là au Parc national de la Mauricie. Plus d'une heure d'observation d'une famille de castors canadiens, passant calmement à quelques mètres du bord de l'étang, indifférents à notre présence. Séquence de nourrissage, jeux entre les jeunes, toilettage... La totale ou presque, hélas entre chien et loup. Mais qu'importe, le plaisir est ailleurs. Le soleil finit par percer et la dernière sortie d'un jeune individu me permet de saisir son portrait juste avant qu'il ne disparaisse dans la hutte familiale.
Cette espèce remarquable a véritablement "façonné" nombre des splendides paysages qui caractérisent aujourd'hui le Canada, ses barrages favorisent le développement d'une faune et d'une flore particulièrement riche et contribuent au maintien du régime hydrique et à la qualité des cours d'eau. Sous ses airs patauds et rondouillards, Père Castor est bien l'un des mammifères les plus emblématiques du continent américain.

À l'automne, le castor consacre plus de temps durant le jour à se constituer des réserves alimentaires pour passer l'hiver.
WCML divert? Well perhaps not!

α Geminorum. Distancia: 51 ± 0,8 años luz. En 1678 se descubrió que Cástor es una binaria visual cuyas componentes, separadas unos 6 segundos de arco. Cástor es una estrella binaria visual cuyas componentes, Cástor A y Cástor B, completan una órbita cada 445 años. Aunque la distancia media entre ambas es de 104 ua, la excentricidad de la órbita (ε = 0,34) hace que la separación entre ellas varíe entre 71 y 138 ua. Cástor es, en realidad, una estrella «séxtuple»: tiene una acompañante muy poco luminosa a unos 72 segundos de arco, Cástor C, cuyos paralaje y movimiento propio son iguales al del par Cástor AB.
La estrella principal de Cástor A es una estrella blanca de la secuencia principal de tipo espectral A1 V. Por su parte, la componente principal de Cástor B es una estrella con líneas metálicas —lo que ha llevado a que sea catalogada entre A2 y A5.
Compare con mis otras Cástor capturadas con otra cámara, en modo autofocus y otra distancia focal, por ejemplo

Episode 5 in the Caster Cottage series. Even though I've named it Caster House in the image. I think I couldn't make up my mind.

Ricinus communis, the castorbean[2] or castor-oil-plant,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus, Ricinus, and subtribe, Ricininae. The evolution of castor and its relation to other species are currently being studied using modern genetic tools.[4] It reproduces with a mixed pollination system which favor selfing by geitonogamy but at the same time can be an out-crosser by anemophily or entomophily.[1]
Its seed is the castor bean, which, despite its name, is not a true bean. Castor is indigenous to the southeastern Mediterranean Basin, Eastern Africa, and India, but is widespread throughout tropical regions (and widely grown elsewhere as an ornamental plant).[5]
Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses. The seeds contain between 40% and 60% oil that is rich in triglycerides, mainly ricinolein. The seed also contains ricin, a water-soluble toxin, which is also present in lower concentrations throughout the plant.
An unrelated plant species, Fatsia japonica, is similar in appearance and known as the false castor oil plant.

The statue of Castor, guarding with his Pollux twin the access to the Campidoglio in Rome. Castor and Pollux are known as Dioscuri or Gemini.
This is a variant on the classic approach, in which the statue is set against the blue sky. In case you prefer one version over the other, I would be grateful if you let me know. TYVMIA.

Castor es en realidad un sistema estelar séxtuple; tal vez por eso su policromía. Ya que el sistema binario visible sus dos estrellas principales son blancas.
