Well nothing quite gets the adrenaline going like your bus driver desperately trying not to crash into the absolute arsehole who cut in front of him... on the highway, on a rainy day, in the dark
Full credit to the driver for not hitting them and not crashing the bus. No one got hurt thankfully

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar: Took this photo of a wet Grizzly Bear a few years back in the Khutzeymateen in British Columbia, Canada. It's Canada's lone sanctuary for Grizzlies, and I hope one day, it will be the first of many. #wildlife

"Everbright On Dark Days" Female Northern Cardinal, 10"x8" Oil on panel
The days are dark and short, and my mood seems to follow. But sometimes a thin ray of sun cuts through for a moment, and lights up the things I love, reminding me of how wonderful and beautiful they are, and it keeps me going

Soon it'll be time to start sharing my Year in Review content, including my "Not Quite Best" and my favorite images and moments of the year. I wonder where these cubs will show up on the list?

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

A story in four parts. This second year polar bear cub wasn't feeling it anymore. Mom, however, reminded her that they needed to keep moving with a few potentially dangerous males nearby. However, the effects of the pep talk didn't last long :) #Mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿
