.. a Japanese temari ball is made!
For the LCoF challenge: "homemade"
Homemade, but not by me! A friend who is experienced in making these beautiful and intricate Japanese balls brought me a beginner's kit.
No surprise that I can admit I didn't make the finished ball here, but Laurie did while she was here!!

More about temari balls, if you're interested:
Temari balls come in different sizes and are embroidered with complex geometric or ornamental patterns. They're created with simple materials including paper, rice husks and cotton thread, but temari artisans can create a staggering range of patterns including flowers, stars, birds, flowers or even waves. (Japanese tourist board website)
The balls are a folk art form and Japanese craft, originating in China and introduced to Japan around the 7th century A.D. Temari means "hand ball" in Japanese. Balls made from embroidery may be used in handball games and other such similar games

The flagship of the Grand Marais Harbor, Hjørdis shares the name of the mythical Norse goddess of war. We took a trip on this 50’ traditionally-rigged steel schooner.
Polar bear cubs stay with their mothers for 2.5 to 3 years learning valuable survival lessons. Here, in a snowy landscape with willow bushes and stunted trees, the lesson seems to have something to do with the sense of smell. The 2nd cub is barely visible behind mom.

I learned to drive on a car just like this. A 1953 Studebaker Commander. I have always thought it was one of the most beautiful cars in the world. It was stick shift and so much fun to drive.
Today’s bear picture is of a youngster (probably a year or two old) sitting and watching in search of what it is doing wrong…with a spattering of pity party mingled in.
The ranger assigned there to keep stupid people from doing stupid things said that the larger, thriving bears adapt several ways of catching the salmon where the scrawny ones concentrate all their time and effort on only one way to fish.
Some people could learn a lot from watching the bears!

Just because I thought these ropes lying on a dock in the late afternoon sun looked kinda cool.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

While feeding in a sedge grass meadow, a cute Alaskan brown bear cub learns a valuable lesson from its mother. Lesson for today: stand up on your hind legs and look around for danger. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti) juvenile Spain_9176
A rare eagle breeding only in Spain and Portugal, with some immatures dispersing into North Africa.
Very similar to the closely-related Imperial Eagle, but is darker overall and adults have a distinctive white leading wing edge on the shoulders which can been seen from below when flying. Juveniles (as here) are rufous and largely un-streaked on the upper-wings, underwings, and the breast compared to the heavily streaked Imperial Eagles.
Mostly found in remote forested landscapes, especially those with a high density of rabbits.
