A backlit sow grizzly tours the Thoroughfare Valley in Denali National Park.
They look good this year with their new winter coat that they will soon ware into their winter dens.
This is a variety of helleborus, I believe it to be helleborus argutifolius. The older folks around here call this Sow's Ear. I don't know how it got that name unless someone once tried to make a silk purse out of it. ;-)
The Parable of the Weeds. Matthew 13
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

STAY AWAKE.
It was a very tall one, so ended up being backlit and looking a bit odd. Taken with extension tubes, hence the shallow depth of field.
Seen in Wentwood, Monmouthshire
The bears have arrived ! All summer we've been wondering what happened to all of the bears. Just weren't seeing many this year, until last week. Monday day I saw 13 different bears ! And we got to see this beautiful family on the way in, and on the way out of the park. The berries have ripened !! Yea !
Colleagues, poets, Earthlings! There is a chance to enroll in history. What is needed is the name for a newly discovered civilization (read the story below). It would be nice if it sounded friendships for the ear accustomed to listening to English language, but this is not a condition.

Sower is a colonizer.
Traveling through the universe searching asteroids and other small (low gravity) celestial bodies.
The ship covers the complex being - a derivative of plants.
Parts of "plant" being can perform differ actions such as providing fuel to engines,seed and fertilizer production , navigation, and "thinking"(;) Special manipulator places the seeds in the ground along with a portion of the fertilizer.
From the plants are born a humanoids completely dependent on mother plants (as a part of the mother plant) - these humanoids care about plants and spread the seeds from mother-plant on the surface of asteroid; this way the colony grows .
Sower was built from space scrap among other things, remains of cruise liner "Patagonia" and fragments of the Space Station Ring-37
Failed to establish any dialogue with the Sower ...

LA: Cicerbita alpina
(syn: Mulgedium alpinum)
EN: Alpine sow-thistle
DE: Alpenlattich / Alpenmilchlattich
HU: Havasi csorbókavirág / Havasi kakicsvirág
Big plant, gorwing up to 1 - 1.5m height. it is endemic to the Alps between 1000 m and 2000 m altitudes, but can be found in other mountain ranges in Central-Europe, and also on the Scandinavian peninsula and in Scotland.
Farmers love this plant, as they believe it increases the milk production of cows, hence the "milch" (milk) in the German name.
The plant is related to the common chicory.
I never do vertical shots! So i'm glad i finally took a few i actually like. I haven't taken any shots of Lauren in a while, i think since our last shoot lauren has gotten better at modeling and my lighting and shooting skills have improved. Im excited to see what we'll do in the future!
