I think this is one of my favourite bear photos that I've ever taken, I'm proud of this one. The coastal black bears of British Columbia have such an interesting seafood diet and this shot captures it perfectly. This bear is ripping barnacles and mussels off a tree branch that was exposed by the low tide. Shot at 800mm from a bobbing zodiac 😝 ift.tt/2Mg3yeq - uploaded from ift.tt/Zaxgq2

In our moist winters, both oaks and pines get covered with various lichens and mosses. I think that the branching lichen here is an Usnea (old man's beard), but it might be a lace lichen (Ramalina). Maybe someone more expert on these matters can identify it? In any case, it simply uses the tree bark as a support, it is not parasitic on the tree.

Meat-eaters might not think about the meaning of the bones in front of them, free of flesh, blood, fat, and connective tissues. After all, after a meal there could be a similar bone on one's own plate. But this neat display of the butchered pieces of what once was a living creature is hardly routine or lacking in emotional response among people who choose not to consume animal bone, skin, organs, and muscle. Standpoint, frame of reference, and habits all affect the interpretation of what appears before one's eyes.

The 2018 Think development - Think WIDER conference, held on 13-15 September in Helsinki, Finland, showcased UNU-WIDER, its work, and the many people and institutions that are engaged with it.
The conference held panel discussions on all of the main themes and findings of UNU-WIDER’s research during 2009-18 — finance, food and climate change; and transformation, inclusion and sustainability.
The event aimed to mobilize evidence and action around the 2030 SDG agenda and its goals.
Usually she will look at me when I have the camera but I think I caught her in a deep thought, and she just ignored me.

I think the symbolism was lost on me... but I enjoyed the faucets on these. Like, I have no idea what the artist was going for including them, but they made me smile just by being there. Yes, I'm kind of weird.

(You know, it's kind of weird writing these up knowing the artists may come across them. I can imagine being all ready to read a critique from a real critic, or whatever, but some art-knowledge-nobody like me making flippant comments? That's got to be strange for them, too.)

The Haywain - John Constable(1821) - Toywea 1000 piece.
This was my 1st Toywea puzzle, a Chinese brand(I think). The quality is very good, thick pieces that fit very well, my only puzzlement(excuse the pun) was the pieces had letters on the reverse side so if you wanted you could sort them & make the puzzle too easy. I for one didn't like it & think they shouldn't be on them. The painting is close to my heart as I live quite close to where this was painted & I visit there quite often, so overall a solid 8.5 out of 10 for this puzzle...on to the next.
The Hay Wain – originally titled Landscape: Noon – is a painting by John Constable, completed in 1821, which depicts a rural scene on the River Stour between the English counties of Suffolk and Essex. It hangs in the National Gallery in London and is regarded as "Constable's most famous image" and one of the greatest and most popular English paintings.
Painted in oils on canvas, the work depicts as its central feature three horses pulling what appears to be a wood wain or large farm waggon across the river. Willy Lott's Cottage, also the subject of an eponymous painting by Constable, is visible on the far-left. The scene takes place near Flatford Mill in Suffolk, though since the Stour forms the border of two counties, the left bank is in Suffolk and the landscape on the right bank is in Essex.
The Hay Wain is one of a series of paintings by Constable called the "six-footers", large-scale canvasses which he painted for the annual summer exhibitions at the Royal Academy. As with all of the paintings in this series, Constable produced a full-scale oil sketch for the work; this is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Another small oil-sketch, the first in his experimentation with extending of the composition of the painting to the right, is now in the collection of the Yale Centre for British Art. Constable originally exhibited the finished work with the title Landscape: Noon, suggesting that he envisaged it as belonging to the classical landscape tradition of representing the cycles of nature.
Flatford Mill was owned by Constable's father. The house on the left side of the painting belonged to a neighbour, Willy Lott, a tenant farmer, who was said to have been born in the house and never to have left it for more than four days in his lifetime. Willy Lott's Cottage still survives practically unaltered, but none of the trees in the painting exist today.
Although The Hay Wain is revered today as one of the greatest British paintings, when it was originally exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1821 (under the title Landscape: Noon), it failed to find a buyer.
It was considerably better received in France where it was praised by Théodore Géricault. The painting caused a sensation when it was exhibited, along with View on the Stour near Dedham and Yarmouth Jetty, at the 1824 Paris Salon (it has been suggested that the inclusion of Constable's paintings in the exhibition was a tribute to Géricault, who died early that year). In that exhibition, The Hay Wain was singled out for a gold medal awarded by Charles X of France, a cast of which is incorporated into the picture's frame. The works by Constable in the exhibition inspired a new generation of French painters, including Eugène Delacroix. The French writer Stendhal, who visited the exhibition, wrote: "We have never seen anything like these pictures before. It is their truthfulness that is so striking." According to Christine Riding, Director of Collections and Research at the National Gallery, though, "In some ways, he's offering up a fiction: a highly curated landscape containing elements that have been added later to improve the composition and broaden its appeal (…) There's nothing natural about that landscape (…) It's all man-made (…) The fields are agriculture, a managed landscape".
Sold at the exhibition with three other Constables to the dealer John Arrowsmith, The Hay Wain was brought back to England by another dealer, D. T. White; he sold it to a Mr. Young who resided in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. It was there that the painting came to the attention of the collector Henry Vaughan and the painter Charles Robert Leslie. On the death of his friend Mr. Young, Vaughan bought the painting from the former's estate; in 1886, he presented it to the National Gallery in London, where it still hangs today. In his will, Vaughan bequeathed the full-scale oil sketch for The Hay Wain, made with a palette knife, to the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum).
The Hay Wain was voted the second most popular painting in any British gallery, second only to Turner's Fighting Temeraire.
