A wolf and a bear!
It’s fair to say that whilst people send me a whole range of items, as yesterday’s post demonstrated, what I am about to republish is the high-water mark for everything! Well it is for me!
But you be the judge!

Unusual Friendship Between Wolf And Bear Documented By Finnish Photographer
By Dainius
“It’s very unusual to see a bear and a wolf getting on like this” says Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen, 56, who took these surprising photos. The female grey wolf and male brown were spotted every night for ten days straight, spending several hours together between 8pm and 4am. They would even share food with each other.
“No-one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends,” Lassi told the Daily Mail. “I think that perhaps they were both alone and they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone…It is nice to share rare events in the wild that you would never expect to see.”

I’m not religious but it’s my vision of what heaven (and Earth) should be like – peaceful coexistence and friendship between all creatures.

Neither are we! But that doesn’t stop us from having a beautiful vision to lead us, inspire us, or whatever. Thanks for your comments, Margaret.

Good people, early yesterday morning, after a late afternoon and evening of heavy wet snow, a tree on Hugo Rd fell across the primary electricity cable cutting our power.
We awoke at 5am to a dark, cold house. While I quickly got a fire going, the house remained without power until 4pm.
As a consequence the blog wasn’t even looked at yesterday.
Apologies to all concerned!
