flower nest.

a tiny nest made by a recently discovered and rare type of bee. built by plastering together petals from the flower onobrychis viciifolia. each nest usually houses a single egg and is a half inch long.

sharkigan.

i'm pretty into this shark cardigan {sharkigan} from topshop. i'm not sure if it would keep people away or draw them in, or which i would prefer. either way it'a a cozy take on the "huge animal face" trend.

pig iron.

Zhang Huan, ‘Zhu Gangqiang No. 10’, 2009. Ash on linen.

"in may 2008, an earthquake reaching 8.0 on the richter scale struck the sichuan province of china, killing more than 60,000 people. amidst the tragedy, there was a pig that lived, trapped, for 49 days after the quake, surviving on rainwater, rotten wood and a small amount of foraged feed. his survival was hailed as a miracle and he was given the name ‘zhu gangqiang’ (‘cast -iron -pig’). according to buddhist scripture, 49 days is the amount of time that a soul remains on earth between death and transmigration.”

what wonder.

sometimes i forget just how amazing the world is and it's really cool when i get a reminder.

at kinzua lake.

(jamestown, new york is the exact opposite of brooklyn, new york.}

yesterday we brought the dogs to the lake and remmington had lots of fun.

mermaids, whales, hot air ballons & ships.

my sister was watching antiques roadshow and saw a painting by ralph cahoon and thought that i would like his work. boy was she right.

the last thylacine.

the last known motion picture footage taken of a living thylacine, a now extinct carnivorous marsupial. just a few seconds of black-and-white footage of the animal pacing backwards and forwards in its enclosure, taken in 1933, three years before it's death from exposure and neglect. ugh. how could people be so terrible to a beautiful tiger-dog with a pouch??
