Sweet irony as I badly sprained my ankle last night and can now only barely walk. Really hope it'll be all healed in time for Christmas holidays...

Drove 5 hours to go camping. Sprained my ankle. 5 hour drive back the next day. Stick shift. Absolutely worth it!
Flynn loves a good game of tug. When he first came to me, we had to find ways to interact positively & build a relationship, without physical affection - Flynn was too scared to accept any patting or cuddling - he would however play tug & it proved a great at getting him to engage with me. He plays very nicely - matching the strength/determination of his human opponent, letting go the moment he is asked & when he wins a game, he will immediately come back & offer the toy to you, asking for another go. Oh & if he's with more than one person, Flynn will try to take turns with each of them - even when one is better than the other at playing ;-)
Poor Flynnie, this shot was taken on Wed, on his last proper walk this week. He has been showing mild, intermittent signs of lameness for maybe a week or two. It's his left hind leg which is bothering him, not sure what he's done - hoping it's a pulled muscle or sprain & not damaged ligaments. Anyway, I'd been trying to rest him but hadn't done a terribly good job at enforcing it. Wed afternoon it became clear we needed to be stricter because he seemed quite sore & he's now on very short, lead walls only until next week... which nobody is enjoying at all but hopefully will give him chance to heal up!
Being pinned down to the bed for days because of my sprained foot and having played glorious amounts of Zelda, i decided to dig up my tablet and start a digital painting from scratch. Thankfully i had patience this time and it didn't turn out shit like this one or this one. Here it is on Deviantart. I am quite proud of myself actually :3
I used my face as a reference.
Check out this awesome lips tutorial that helped me along!
Oh and here are the starting stages for laughs :D
!!!Should you like such a digital painting, feel free to contact me! But know i will charge 25 euros!!!
So, I fell Wednesday night, sprain my ankle
and twisted my knee and scared Buddy.
Right before one of the busiest days.
Can y'all relate?

"Jewelweed is best known for its skin healing properties. The leaves and the juice from the stem of Jewelweed are used by herbalists as a treatment for poison ivy, oak and other plant induced rashes, as well as many other types of dermatitis. Jewelweed works by counter-reacting with the chemicals in other plants that cause irritation. Poultices and salves from Jewelweed are a folk remedy for bruises, burns, cuts, eczema, insect bites, sores, sprains, warts, and ringworm. Read on to learn to make your own poison ivy treatment ice cubes with Jewelweed.
Jewelweed is a smooth annual; 3-5 ft. Leaves oval, round- toothed; lower ones opposite, upper ones alternate. A bit trumpet shaped, the flowers hang from the plant much as a jewel from a necklace, Pale Jewelweed has yellow flowers, Spotted Touch-Me-Nots have orange flowers with dark red dots. The seeds will 'pop' when touched , that is where the name Touch-Me-Nots came from. The Spotted Jewelweed variety is most commonly used for treating poison ivy rashes although the Pale Jewelweed may also have medicinal properties .
Jewelweed blooms May through October in the eastern part of North America from Southern Canada to the northern part of Florida. It is found most often in moist woods, usually near poison ivy or stinging nettle. It is commonly said that wherever you find poison ivy, you will find Jewelweed - however this is not true as Jewelweed will not grow in dry places for long, and does not thrive in direct sunlight. Poison Ivy will grow in sun or shade. "
Last April, I stepped on American sweet gum shells and I almost sprain my ankle.
Yesterday, this horse chestnut (the middle one) fell on my head. (sigh)

Anthophora furcata f, with sprained proboscis, probably damaged by an attack of a flying wrecking-ball Anthidium manicatum male, defending 'his' horehound stand. She tried in vain to access nectar by inserting her galeae into flowers, but without success, as the labial parts could not be moved resp. coordinated. Making the best out of a sad occurrence I labeled proboscis details ...
A couple weeks ago I posted on the difficulties of spotting Oophaga lehmanni in the wild, and its threatened status (www.facebook.com/paul.bertner/posts/1954323497983506). After deliberating for a week, while cooped up with the flu and a sprained finger, and rummaging online for records of O. lehmanni, I was struck not only by the overall dearth, but by the almost complete lack of 'in situ' images, with not a single one illustrating behaviour or a decent representation of the environment. For a critically threatened species, one whose risk of extinction is quite high, this to me represented a tremendous oversight. Though I'd already tried and failed to capture some behaviour shots on a short previous expedition, I decided to dedicate a week to the endeavour, if for no other reason than to have a record befitting such an elegant species.
Travelling to the same site as before, I settled in to photograph calling behaviours. Setting aside a week to get this rather modest shot was giving myself quite a lot of latitude I thought...I was wrong. Three days in and I had little to show for my efforts, resorting to shooting at 300mm + 1.4X TC, I was still struggling to surprise this elusive gem. Though I could hear the frogs calling, and could even see them doing so, creeping up on them and getting a respectable photo was proving an altogether different kind of a problem.
I tried remote shooting (however they rarely returned to the same perch, causing the framing to be off), I tried hides (though after waiting 2-3hrs in mosquito infested areas with the slightest movement causing the frogs to go diving back into root tangles proved frustrating to say the least). Nothing seemed to work, and I was beginning to despair.
This begged the question, "Why would a poisonous species which supposedly has no known predators be so timid?" The answer somewhat surprised me, "researchers". Apparently the frequent capture-release monitoring of the local populations has resulted in a rather poignant behavioural change. A species which would otherwise be fearlessly hopping the rainforest understory has had its buzzing call muted. It was a potent reminder of our influence on the natural world, whether it represents a kind of Schroedinger's cat problem, in which our very observation and monitoring of a species ultimately impacts its natural behaviours, or whether it's something more intrusive or sinister like manipulation for an aesthetic image or poaching, respectively.
We have to go further in I told the guide. And so we walked, and we walked and still the frogs fell silent at the sound of our approaching footfalls. 6 hours later, 2 of which we left the already weedy trail completely to bushwhack, and we came to a spot where we crept up upon a calling frog. It continued its buzzing call despite undoubtedly having already seen us. I made sure to shoot without flash and with a long lens to prevent any kind of potential habituation/aversion. Moments later a second male appeared from behind a leaf and they immediately began to wrestle. They flipped one another repeatedly, interspersed with calls. Rather evenly matched, this went on for almost 15 minutes. Finally the victor held his ground, whilst the vanquished retreated from the hallowed ground.
Upon reviewing the photos and videos, I felt privileged to have witnessed such a behaviour from a vanishing species. This is perhaps even truer than I'd originally thought, the two males despite their verisimilitude actually appear to be different species/sub-species. While one has all the characteristics befitting O. lehmanni, the other whose white fingertips, slightly broadened head and differing banding patterns indicates some degree of hybridization with the very closely related Oophaga histrionica. Perhaps extinction will not come in the form of habitat loss or extinction (though harbour no illusions that this undoubtedly plays its role), but through hybridization, and its absorption into a larger more robust population. To purists and hobbyists this would still represent a tragedy, though perhaps it's a gentler swan song, a muting of a call rather than its abrupt silencing.
