Sweden has very few wolves left. A lot of people hate them passionately. The haters aren't mainly sheep farmers or reindeer herders. They are weekend hunters. Because wolves kill and eat hunting dogs, and in Sweden a #hunting dog is a family member. How would you like a beast that threatened your family?

Robin in the clouds is a hand-painted acrylic painting in square format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small European Robin with a bright orange breast sits on a branch in a tree, surrounded by foliage in various bright shades of green. Gentle shades of blue, purple, yellow and green blend harmoniously in the colourful background, like the sky at sunrise in the morning.

La foto está tomada desde bastante lejos y es de un águila volando bajo un cielo azul sin nubes con las alas totalmente desplegadas. Se adivina un cuerpo blanco con manchas oscuras. Las alas también son blancas salvo las plumas remeras que son de color negro. Lleva la cola cerrada..

Anyway on a more serious note: is there an animal with four animal names in its name? Or more?

Just saw a leopard catshark on the telly and started wondering.

Eg:
1 dog
2 whale shark
3 tarantula hawk wasp
4 ???
4+ ???

bright day - the hedgehog
wakened from hibernation
by the smell of spring

Hedgehog in spring is a watercolour painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small hedgehog with brown spines sits in bright green grass against a calm blue sky. He curiously stretches his nose into the air and sniffs the fresh spring air. He seems to be smiling. The loose brushstrokes of the watercolour lend the scene a gentle and peaceful aura.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

Our Robin fluffed up on a frosty winter's day, enjoying the warming rays of the morning sun...

It's spring now and the little bird is already looking slimmer again... 😄

Robin in a holly bush is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A robin sits on a branch in a holly bush and looks to the right. It is surrounded by green leaves and red berries. The background is painted with loose brushstrokes in different shades of green, which form a strong color contrast to the red winter berries of the bush and the red-orange breast feathers of the bird. The Ilex is also called Holly or Christmas Holly. The evergreen branches with the red fruits are often used for Christmas decorations.

Robin in Colors is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A European Robin stands amidst splashes of vibrant colors on a plain creamy white background. The bird's bright orange breast contrasts beautifully with its darker feathers.. The colours of the plumage are repeated in the splashes of colour in the abstract background. The songbird looks in a friendly manner towards the viewer.

We just spent 4 days at Katmai National Park during what is supposed to be the slow season. We got lucky with huge sockeye salmon run, fine weather, and anywhere from 4 to 14 bears around Brooks Falls. Amazing experience!

#bears #BearsOfKatmai #nature #KatmaiNationalPark #Alaska #Wildlife

A short and wide waterfall with river to the right has 11 brown bears standing and sitting in the water. Two are at the top of the falls looking at salmon jumping. More bears are below the falls surrounded by red sockeye salmon barely visible below the water’s surface. One salmon is visible jumping toward the falls. The background is green vegetation of willows and deciduous trees.
