Archive series 3 of 4 - and apologies for the pun!
Well after all that bonding it had to happen. Unusually for birds - from what I've seen, these took their time, so lots of shots!

This is a Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) propelling itself through the calm water and creating a small wave with its head. They can weigh up to 45kg making them the heaviest member of the Weasel family. They are even heavier than Wolverine and much heavier than Giant River Otter, which is a bit longer. Sea Otters were once abundant in the North Pacific but relentless trapping during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resulted in their extirpation from Canada by 1929. Their fur is the densest of any mammal on the planet which made them highly sought-after for their pelts. Between 1969 and 1972, 89 animals were reintroduced into Nootka Sound from Alaska. I photographed this one at Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island which is quite close to the original reintroduction site. The numbers here have built up impressively and the population now comprises several thousand animals. They are usually quite wary of humans, but they will allow approach to about 50m before they dive to safety.
This recipe turned out amazing this year. I toasted the nuts in the cookie recipe. Update to recipe in my blog at: brenhaas.com/snowball-cookie-recipe/
Thank you so much for checking this recipe out. It is truly one of my favorites.

The collective life force of all creatures past,present,and future is embodied in the depiction of animals or this dance mask.It's bentwood loop represents the border of the universe and encloses images of a humanoid spirit face,a seal,a fish,and a loon-ask within the grasp of a large human hand.A dancer would wear the mask in winter ceremony honoring the animals who gave their lives during the year and ensuring their return in the coming season.
Lots of this going on around here these days.
What you see here is the top of an 8 foot piece of 2x4 that i have attached to my patio rail so that I can stretch a thick piece of landscape fabric between it and the house to cut down on the stray light when using my telescope. When the female swallow stops her nest building for a moment or two and flies to the top of it, it seems to signal the male that she is ready and willing. He wastes no time in accomodating her. :-)

[RP Pic] "Crossing into Idaho without much in the way of trouble. Things are still pretty wild out here, but I haven't seen any Infected yet or had much trouble with thugs. Lotsa dry bones alongside the old highways though, a testament to the fact that while civilization may be making a come-back; it hasn't reached here just yet."
I'm making it here the south Indian style, I ground an impromtu Sambar masala and made it with a red chilli tadka.

Luisa Romeo, "The Styx, A Stereo Window".
Oil on linen
161 x 161 cms
There's just something about that hand pointing at Luisa Romeo's painting. It reminds me of Michelangelo's hand of God, but that's as far as I go with that comparison. Perhaps I was thinking of the mythical underworld and the Styx that needed to be crossed once life in this plane ends.
But the reality is more mundane. There is indeed a Styx River in southern Tasmania. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx_River_(Tasmania) And this painting reminds us of the old stereoscope slides from the past. Please do enlarge this photo and see the detail in her brushwork. I love the way she has captured the tannin rich waters, the result of button grass throughout much of Tasmania.
From the Catalogue:
"The preliminary drawings and photographic documentation were gathered where only a hundred metres away were scenes of major destruction and decimation of land through heavy handed forestry activities. The roads that were travelled to reach this sublime space, are the very same road networks that were established to cart away our very lifeline of existence. We have to consider the possibility these stereoscopes captured in oil and pigment will be the only way to view these landscapes in coming decades, assuming even they survive the wanton expansion of the human race. A reminder of what we could preserve from being mindful of the destruction caused by our collective narrow focus on fiscal gain prioritised over the earth's bounty of natural resources and beauty. What are we collectively losing from this practice of narrow focus financial gain?"
Plenty to debate there. I suspect the camera will have a bigger say than the brush, but that's a photographer's point of view.
