Grizzlies comparing their jaws is a sign of assertiveness. These cubs will start doing this, then one will swat the other with an oversize paw and then it blows up into a full blown wrestling match.
It seems that animals know just how far they can go before one or the other gets hurt. I've seen them take a scratch on the nose or lose a clump of hair but usually they roll around, try out a variety of wrestling holds and then fifteen minutes later they go back to eating or just sit down exhausted near their mother.

Taken on a very pleasant May Day in downtown Pittsburgh from the 6th Street bridge, looking up the Allegheny river (E - NE direction). The Allegheny river meets the Monongahela river (at my back when I took this) and they form the Ohio river, which will eventually become the Mississippi river and will end up in the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans (many miles downriver).
In the foreground is the 7th Street bridge, behind it is the 9th Street bridge and behind that the rail bridge (black). The white building at right is the David L. Lawrence convention center.
As for the answer to the question: "How Many Bridges?" the answer is "Pittsburgh has 446 bridges" !
There are openings, horizons and steps that are physically impossible in this picture. The neat book picture includes a reflection from a black marble like surface. The book and the reflection are two separate perspectives and the join between them is false to create a line angled similar to that seen at the top of the book. The step down on the marble is in the opposite angled direction. Either the effect is unnoticed, or it might whilst being unrecognised cause a slight visual attraction as the viewer sees something seems not to be right. These very slight variations when regarded might give a feeling a little like that generate when viewing a much more revealing work by artists like Maurits Cornelis Escher.
I took a picture of this book on the release date of the book. I seemed to have angered one person and another person thought that I was advertising the book. Today I took this pictures and edited a few touches to it. The book has a provocative title and I do have the book as my centre piece here. I am neither trying to further offend, nor advertise. The links that I have always had with my picture are shared again here and they may reveal that this book is a positive perspective on the past and a bright vision for us to carry forwards.

This book is better described in the links below than I can do here, I have only just received it. “WITCHES of SCOTLAND is a campaign for justice; for a legal pardon, an apology, and a memorial for the thousands of people – mostly women - that were convicted of witchcraft and executed between 1563 and 1736 in Scotland.” From the ongoing campaign this book has been delivered. It has has a great jacket to light and the wonderful design covers a great document that delves into a previously often overlooked history.

To live in a house like that...It used to be a railway station...If you listen very carefully, you can still hear the whisper of the travellers...and the whistle of the leaving train...

How now brown cow" is a phrase used in elocution teaching to demonstrate rounded vowel sounds. Each "ow" sound in the phrase represents the diphthong. Although spelled "ow" in these four words, this same diphthong is also spelled "ou". Some examples of these homophonic are the English words "house", "blouse", "noun", and "cloud". The use of the phrase "how now brown cow" in teaching elocution can be traced back to at least 1926.
The phrase how now itself is an archaic greeting or interrogative expression
Princess Sara's Quest had to start with a reason somewhere and when I started having fun with the characters and following them around...
I had no idea where it would lead.
I've discovered other characters, and somehow Dragons got involved as well as monsters.
Then this seemed to occur ...
very much out of order of the rest of the story.
But this makes perfect sense in retrospect.
This would be the Dragon's Nest of the Legendary Egg that would save all Dragons.
Hmmmm.
And there it is....
I ventured to a portrait photo shoot class, after being really self-quarantining for 4+ months. A needed boost of creativity.
This lovely cardinal is missing her tail feathers as many of the other birds I see are. It is the molting process and she will get them back soon. They fly fine though a little differently with no tail feathers.

This is how we get it back,
a little inspiration,
after hours of shoveling
and snowblowing.
This is how we do it.
That ride in the woods.
So what if there is a foot of snow on the ground.
This is how we do it.
I never noticed before today but during snowstorms, there is a certain species of birds that likes to sing, or twitter, or do whatever. I liked it.
If anyone asks why I was crouching down by my back wheel,
I had a good reason :))
This is how we do it.

HPR really is a great paper for all alternative processes, sharp details (3D feeling, hard to reproduce with scanning) and great colour rendering.
Pouring Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) on Sodium Bicarbonate is fun, that's how the ghosts were created!
