Trying to draw more of my other favorite gods, back to the time of Dionysus and his newly wedded Ariadne, again, setting to flew somewhere where the sun doesn’t set for their early honeymoon vacation; after sweet kisses that tasted of wine, honey and mead, and turning all of their wedding gifts into stars and constellations.

For the closeups shots, Dionysus’s jewelries and necklaces were based on both Mesopotamian, Egyptian and earlier Minoan Greek samples; since there are a few myths that he wandering to all over West Asia and some parts of India to teaching the world about wine making and its fermentation. While most of Ariadne’s clothings were based on murals of Minoan women and jewelries that were found in the ancient cities of Akrotiri and Heraklion in Thera. (Now near modern day Santorini.)

this white steller’s jay was seen in boulder county, colorado. the bird is not albino - it was seen gradually gaining more and more white feathers over time. suggested causes are illness, trauma or a mutation.

though the great tit is a small bird that isn’t particularly threatening, scientists made a surprising discovery about them: during winter months with scarce food, great tits feed on bats. normally feeding on a diet of mostly insects with added fruits, seeds, and nuts, great tits who were unable to find sufficient food preyed on bats hibernating in rocky crevices within caves. when provided more common food by researchers, the behavior stopped.

For all of it’s macabre feeding habits, the Loggerhead shrike’s song is surprisingly sweet. I’ve been admiring this species for quite some time and I was so thrilled to finally chance upon one in the wild!

In the dark nest cavities where  Gouldian finches breed, the luminous mouth markings of their chicks act as a beacon to help the parents feed them.

I'm not sure why, but I feel a sense of familiarity from this.
