Today I dropped off my framed photo of snow buntings to the @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social. Twenty-three birding photographers, including myself, will have our photos in a temporary exhibit called The Art of Birding. The exhibit opens on Saturday!

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.
I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.
And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

The success of Emily Wilson's translation had nothing to do with Christopher Nolan. The hardcover edition came out 9 years ago and was a huge success. The paperback has been in steady demand since 2018. My store has sold 75 copies (a lot for 1 book for us) and 66 of those were before January.
“A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.”
“West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.”

Another original #watercolour for everyone to ignore: a #watercolor #cartoon I've made for my husbear's birthday. Yes, I'd been focused on the drawing and marked the date wrong ("Feb" instead of "Jan"). Yes, cave #bears went extinct ca. 20,000 years ago. Let's see YOU draw the damn card 😂. Enjoy!

It's been an exhausting year in Little Bearville. Time to nest, for a little while (at least), with hopes of good fortune for you and yours in 2026. #HappyNewYear to you 🎊 🐻

Made off with a nice haul of classic National Geographics at a community book sale this weekend. Got the famous one with the spooky-lookin' lady on the cover and that cool holographic skull 💀. Reminders of better days.

The first proper meal I've cooked in our new, little bear den. #Beef #stew with mushrooms, potatoes, baby carrots, caramelized onions, a big beef roast, one can of Cream of Celery soup, a packet of onion soup, and a 1/3 cup of red wine. Cooked on Low in the Crock-Pot over eight hours. #food

I've long outgrown Frank Herbert's "DUNE" books, but Asimov's "Foundation" seems to be taking its place (due entirely to the fantastic Apple TV+ show).
Also, Jared Harris has fast become one of my favourite actors.
Space graphic glommed together by me, ca. 2018 🚀.
