Jewel of the West: Photographing the Grizzlies of Great Bear Rainforest
By Geoff Allen, Our Canada
Why You Should Go to Great Bear Rainforest
When we finished lunch, we reloaded our skiff and went out for an afternoon viewing. Fortunately for us, we were able to see Lenore—the matriarch of the Glendale Cove grizzlies. The huge sow was napping at the head of the river’s inlet at low tide, waiting patiently for the salmon to start running. What was truly amazing was that the water level was so low; Jackie jumped out of the skiff and manually pushed us into a more optimum spot for viewing the big, snoozing bear. Unfortunately, the salmon weren’t running yet and after about an hour of lying around, she woke up, had a drink from the river and wandered off towards the forest. (These photos prove why British Columbia is one of the world’s most beautiful places.)...http://www.readersdigest.ca/travel/canada/great-bear-rainforest/4/Thursday, March 22, 2018
Sia - Never Give Up (From The "Lion'' Soundtrack)
Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”...https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/ozymandias
Stunning images capture the world around us
Manuel Armenis's Old Friends won the Street Photography section. Armenis, who took this picture in Hamburg, Germany, said the woman in the picture was the "most graceful lady of her neighbourhood, despite the burden of old age".
"Always stylish, colourful, in good spirits, smiling, never complaining, even though the everyday is a struggle and a challenge for her.
"And never to be seen without her best friend - her little dog."...http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-43472907

Japanese towns struggle to deal with an influx of new arrivals: wild boars

HIRAIZUMI, Japan— Rapidly shrinking towns and cities across Japan are experiencing a population explosion. Not an explosion of humans, though. An explosion in wild boar numbers.
Across the country, wild boars are moving in as Japan’s rapidly aging population either moves out or dies out. The boars come for the untended rice paddies and stay for the abandoned shelters.
“Thirty years ago, crows were the biggest problem around here,” said Hideo Numata, a farmer in Hiraizumi, human population 7,803, precise boar population unknown.
“But now we have these animals and not enough people to scare them away,” he said, sitting in a hut with a wood stove and two farmer friends. At 67, Numata is a relative youngster around here. His friends, Etsuro Sugawa and Shoichi Chiba, are 69 and 70 respectively. One of their farmer neighbors is 83...https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/japanese-towns-struggle-to-deal-with-an-influx-of-new-arrivals-wild-boars/2018/03/05/59af237e-1722-11e8-930c-45838ad0d77a_story.html?utm_term=.fdbcf1933840

Wolfdogs are popular, but are often abandoned

The popular TV series Game of Thrones features animals that are a cross between a wolf and a dog so many people buy them but later find they don’t usually make good pets. As a result, they are often abandoned and the only sanctuary in Canada that shelters them is at capacity, reports CBC News.
“People are intentionally breeding them and it’s not an ideal thing. There is a market for them because people want to have cool, exotic pets,” Alyx Harris, manager at Yamnuski Wolfdog Sanctuary told CBC.
The sanctuary is located about 40 kilometres from the western city of Calgary and shelters 23 wolfdogs in seven enclosures. One of the animals named Nova is a cousin of Ghost from the Game of Thrones drama...http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2018/03/07/wolf-dog-cross-pet-aggressive-game-thrones-shelters/

“To be, or not to be, that is the question” By William Shakespeare
photo by Iva DeMartelly
(from Hamlet, spoken by Hamlet)
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life...

'Mega-colonies' of 1.5 million penguins discovered in Antarctica

Guardian News
Huge “mega-colonies” of penguins have been discovered near the Antarctic peninsula, hosting more than 1.5 million birds. Researchers say it shows the area is a vital refuge from climate change and human activities and should be protected by a vast new marine wildlife reserve currently under consideration.
The huge numbers of AdΓ©lie penguins were found on the Danger Islands in the Weddell Sea, on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is a difficult place to reach and has seldom been visited.
