An emperor penguin waddles away from freelance photographer Robert McCabe’s camera at McMurdo Base in Antarctica in 1959.  I know the New York Times’s slideshow of McCabe’s photos is two weeks old, but it’s still worth a look.

I think penguins are getting added to the puppies and elephants bucket. I love them.

BTW

I’ve set up my twitter account to feed into my blog. It’s not permanent, just for the triathlon. Come Tuesday I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled programming of puppies, elephants, and videos minus the incoherent feed of tweets.

thelovelybones: During the learning stage, the mahouts generally select the colors and determine when a painting is finished. They teach the elephants how to hold the brush, and a number of mahouts have also customized their paintbrushes, adding bamboo handles that are easier for the elephants to grip.
Elephant painting of the northern, or Lampang school tends to be lyrical and expressive, characterized by broken brushwork, curvilinear forms, and bold, clear, primary colors. In the central Thai, or Ayutthaya school, elephants and mahouts prefer darker, cooler colors such as deep violet, black, and forest green, which they apply with broad, vigorous brushstrokes that sweep across the canvas from edge to edge. Elephants of the southern, or Phuket school tend toward saturated tertiary colors like mustard, plum, and magenta, mixed on the surface of the paper with broad, gentle, curvy brushstrokes.

Incredible.

Elephants are the best.
EDIT: OMG someone reblogged to say that you can BUY elephant paintings!!!! PLZ PUT ON MY BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS/ANNIVERSARY (OF WHAT I DON’T KNOW)/WEDDING (I’M NOT HAVING ANYTIME SOON)/BABY (THAT I DO NOT HAVE)/AND ANY OTHER HOLIDAY/EVENT WHERE YOU RECEIVE GIFTS LIST. KTHX.

Just your everyday playground elephant.

And here’s perfect proof that I can have a pet elephant, and she will even double as a nanny.
