The bronze statue 'Maman' by the French artist Louise Bourgeois outside Mori Tower at Roppongi, Tokyo. It's a gigantic spider. It is not meant to scare anyone, instead it is actually a tribute to Bourgeois' own mother, who died when Bourgeois was 21. Her mother worked with weaving and tapestries, but was also helpful and protective - just as a spider. The statue is one of six casts made after the 1999 original at Tate Modern, London (the other five can be found in Ottawa, Canada, Bilbao, Spain, Leeum, South Korea, Bentonville, USA, and Doha, Qatar.
The sculpture is here because of the Mori Art Museum at the top of the building (well worth a visit) - and it's gigantic, being more than 9 metres tall).

This canopic jar is the baboon (Hapy), Like the Dybbuk box, maybe should not have been opened. Or, maybe, he was a smoker....
From the ancient Egyptian funerary practice comes the canopic jars. Each organ was identified with one of four funerary deities collectively known as the Sons of Horus: the liver with Imsety (man's head), the lungs with Hapy (baboon's head), the stomach with Duamutef (jackal's head), and the intestines with Qebehsenuef (falcon's head). It was their duty to protect the deceased and restore to him his body parts in the hereafter.

I'm the ruler of the earth.
I will smother you in riches,
Till you choke on sordid mirth..."

King Tut's iconic mask. Tutankhamun's mask and mummy arrived yesterday at my house (in action figure form), just in time for Smile on Saturday. (I was stumped on this week's theme prior to this.)

Created for the Smile on Saturday theme, SHADES OF GOLD.
Swirling ground-blizzards above treeline catch the morning colors. How can I say how much I want to be there again to feel the bite of the wind on my face and breathe the air that feels like ice water in my lungs?

Very small and very cropped and processed.... But interesting enough to share perhaps :)
Think this is a parasitic wasp, on an "aphid mummy", which what is left of the aphid after its been used by these wasps to incubate their young. But I'm probably wrong. Corrections very welcome :)
Phoenicopterus roseus / Flamingo / Plamenac
To my amazement and great surprise this couple showed up (I think a mother and a junior). For a long time they were just resting, bowed necks, barely moving. Handheld camera. :)
Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).
Grandkids (and their parents) have GOT to eat them ALL today!
Or else I will - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I spotted this Mummy blue-tongue lizard on one of my walks, her young one was just above her, basting in the sun.
Happy Birthday Marney
Spanish Bar Spice Cake, the recipe reminds me of the cake from my childhood that my Mom would buy.
Another little calf that we spotted in our travels - it seemed interested in my camera, but wouldn't come any closer - this is cropped.
By the look of that bulging pouch, there is a youngster inside. On the green in the middle of the Bunya Mountains village there were a couple of Wallabies munching grass in the warm early Spring sun. While this area often sees quite a lot of small Pademelons, I believe this is a Wallaby (a small Kangaroo) female, possibly a Red Necked Wallaby. Kangaroos, Wallabies and Pademelons - all Australian native animals are amongst our various marsupials that raise their young in a pouch.
The parents of this little one don't hang around when it's time to head south for the winter. This one will follow it's instinct and try to avoid summer storms through the European mainland perhaps crossing the Mediterranean Sea from France or Italy. It's a dangerous time for young birds, especially where fast birds of prey like this Northern Sparrowhawk in the next photo!
The genus name, Lanius , is derived from the Latin word for " butcher ", and some shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of their feeding habits.
The Red-backed Shrike bird (Lanius collurio) is a member of the shrike family Laniidae. The general colour of the males upper parts is reddish. It has a grey head and a typical shrike black stripe through the eye. Underparts are tinged pink and the tail has a black and white pattern similar to that of a wheatear. In the female and young Red-backed Shrikes, the upperparts are brown and vermiculated (wavy lines or markings). Underparts are buff and also vermiculated.
This 16 – 18 centimetres long migratory passerine eats large insects, small birds, voles and lizards. Like other shrikes the Red-backed Shrike hunts from prominent perches and impales corpses on thorns or barbed wire as a ‘larder’.
The Red-backed Shrike breeds in most of Europe and western Asia and winters in tropical Africa.
The Red-backed Shrikes range is decreasing and it is now probably extinct in Great Britain as a breeding bird, although it is frequent on migration.
The Red-backed Shrike is named as a protected bird in Britain under a Biodiversity Action Plan. The Red-backed Shrikes’ decline is due to overuse of pesticides and scrub clearance due to human overpopulation.
The Red-backed Shrike breeds in open cultivated country with hawthorn and dog rose.
