Fall and Winter are my favorite fashion seasons. There always seems to be some take on ladylike style and the cold-weather fabrics (velvet, silk, leather, suede, wool, cashmere, tartan) are just delicious. This season, I was pleased to see not only the dark tights/peep-toe trend, but a resurgence of thick, chunky knits. No longer considered too casual for work, I’ve noticed many of my coworkers bundled up in yummy pullovers, turtlenecks, and cardigans instead of the usual blazers or fine-gauge twin sets. I didn’t want to be left out in the cold!
We've been asked about the light gray color that we've painted most of the rooms in our home and I haven't been able to answer because, well we lost the paint chip and hadn't written down the information anywhere! Now (1,5 years later...) it's found again and we're 99% sure that this is the color we've used around the house. We just bought 9 liters of paint in this color so I do hope that we are right! We're putting on a second coat of paint on the upstairs hallway and stairway walls and painting the basement room.

We had the good fortune to observe and photograph a wild Gray Wolf in Jasper national Park, Alberta, Canada at close range for several minutes. I contacted the Park Biologist for information regarding this individual since it was collared and am told that this is Wolf 112, a female from the Sunwapta Pack consisting of 4 adult wolves. There are 6 small wolf packs in the Athabaska Valley of Jasper National Park totaling 22 individuals. More information can be found here: www.jasperenvironmental.org/main-issues/wolf/

Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song. The most common call is a raspy mew that sounds like a cat.
The fountain located just inside the city limits of Grayville, Illinois. It wasn't running when I photographed it.

Dorian Gray (1928-2011) was a very elegant Italian actress in films by Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini. She was also a sexy seductress in comedies with Totò. In 1965, Gray completely vanished from the public eye.
Dorian Gray was born as Maria Luisa Mangini in Bolzano, Italy in 1928. Gray made her stage debut in 1950 and quickly became a known and acclaimed actress. However, after only five years she left the world of the theatre and devoted herself to the cinema. In 1951, she had made her film debut in the crime drama Amo un assassin/Appointment for Murder (Baccio Bandini, 1951) with Delia Scala. The role she played most often in films was that of a seductive sex kitten in comedies like Totò, Peppino e i fuorilegge/Totò, Peppino, and the outlaws (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1956). For this film, Peppino De Filippo was awarded a Silver Ribbon for the best supporting actor. She played another titular ‘bad girl’ in Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina/Toto, Peppino, and the Hussy (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1956). It was the top-grossing film of the year in Italy and is now considered as one of the classics of Italian comedy. The following year, she had the chance to demonstrate her dramatic talents in Michelangelo Antonioni's Il grido/The Cry (1957). She co-starred with Steve Cochran, Alida Valli, and Betsy Blair to great critical acclaim. At the peak of her popularity, she also took part in Le notti di Cabiria/Nights of Cabiria (Federico Fellini, 1957) featuring Giulietta Masina. The film was loaded with awards, including an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1958.
After 1957, Dorian Gray made several more films, but none ever had the shine of her works of 1956 and 1957. She starred with Vittorio Gassman in the comedy Il mattatore/Love and Larceny (Dino Risi, 1960). She also played in one of the Peplums of that era. La regina delle Amazzoni/Colossus and the Amazons (Vittorio Sala, 1960) In this sword and sandal satirical comedy she starred opposite two actors imported from America, Rod Taylor, and bodybuilder Ed Fury. Gray was among the all-star cast of the whodunit-comedy Crimen/...And Suddenly It's Murder! (Mario Camerini, 1960). She played the love interest of Foreign Legion captain Stewart Granger in the action drama, Marcia o crepa/Commando (Frank Wisbar,1962), set during the Algerian War. Her career ended by choice soon thereafter. In 1965, she made her final film, Fango sulla metropolis/City Criminals (Gino Mangini, 1965) with Tony Kendall. That year, awaiting the birth of her son, she retired completely from acting. She never made another public appearance. In 2011, Dorian Gray committed suicide by gunshot at her home in Torcegno. She was 83 years old. IMDb and other media, however, report her age as 75, since she herself claimed to have been born in 1936.

A shot of the mother and the juvinille Gray Gray Owl family from Oregon. This shot was difficult due to the dense foliage - took awhile of positioning to get a clear shot.

This is Wapiti Lake pack female number 1267. The reason she has a wildlife management and research number is that she has been radio-collared. But that's not the only reason she's easy to identify. She is not the alpha female of the pack, but she did the yeoman's share of guarding the bison - debilitated and not very mobile but still meriting close attention at all times - and of "supervising" the younger wolves as they practiced wearing the bison out to the point where it was easy to make into a meal. She appears in a large number of the photos in this series as a result. In many of the photos it's hard to tell if she's brown or gray - tricks of the changing light - but she's also unique in that her toes are white!
This winter I was lucky get a seat on a snow coach that took us into Yellowstone National Park’s interior roads, groomed only for over-snow travel in the winter. About 15 miles into our dawn journey, three black wolves emerged from the woods. We debarked to watch them; as the sky lightened, they moseyed onto the bank of the Firehole River where it parallels the road, then walked across a shallow spot in the to join pack mates who, probably during the previous night, had trapped a debilitated bull bison in the shallow water. We spent the rest of the day observing the wolves – there were probably 10 or 12 altogether – and their interactions with each other and their work of wearing the bison down to the point where it would become an easy meal. We were not able to stay until the denouement, but by the following morning it was widely reported that the inevitable had happened and the wolves were finally reaping the rewards of their many hours of work.
So why didn’t they just kill the bison as soon as they recognized it was an easy target? One possibility is that they had eaten recently, reducing the urgency to eat again. Hunting even compromised large hoofed and horned prey is energy-expensive and very risky: one well-placed kick or a stab with a heavy, thick horn, can be deadly. But progressively depleting prey by not allowing it to rest, eat, drink, or let down its guard for a second, threatening it for hours upon hours, biting off bits of its flesh, and de-energizing it to the point where it could no longer defend itself, was good work for juvenile pack members. In fact the young wolves we first saw in the road, with their headlight-bright yellow eyes and the typical long, spiky hackles of juveniles, did a lot of that work under the supervision of experienced adults. It was a great training session for the pups and an opportunity for at least some of the senior wolves to relax while dinner was being prepped for them.
All photographs in this series were taken with a long focal length lens at a distance sufficient to avoid disrupting the wolves’ behavior. Additionally, many of the images are cropped, which also makes it look like I was closer than I actually was. Although I selected many images in which the wolves appear to be looking at me, in fact most of them were looking at other wolves or at their prey and not at the human presence, which at times was substantial.
Never approach wildlife. Yellowstone National Park regulations require a minimum of 100 yards from bears and wolves, and 25 yards be maintained from all other wildlife. Even if you’re farther than that, you know you’re too close if your presence causes animals or birds to change their behavior.
