Photoshop keeps crashing on me and I have a billionty images to process from my trip to the cottage.

This is to tide you over until I get around to fixing Ps and messing with all my photos and video:

Up north here in Canuckia we have some pretty special bears.

Bears that make art.

Not just any art, either, but real avant-garde stuff.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with an animated and energetic young lady last weekend at the cottage.

Meet Sophie, age 5.

I’m considering stealing her.

Whilst sitting by the lake and discussing the goings-on of physicists and the value of ambition in education, we were visited by a friendly local wasp.  Needless to say, the wasp proved more interesting than the conversation.

Paper wasps like this one collect dead wood fibers and chew them up to make a funky pulp, with which they build very cool nests.
