🦝 Tales from birdland
New York, Doubleday, Page, 1918.

[Source]

Black-and-white historical illustration depicting a raccoon lunging at a large bird, likely a raven or crow, gripping its leg with its mouth and claws. The raccoon is tethered with a chain, pulling forward aggressively as the bird tries to lift off with wings spread wide. Background shows some hanging moss or foliage at the top and grass near the ground, suggesting an outdoor setting. Caption below reads, "the coon sprang at him like a whirlwind," emphasizing the sudden, fierce action. The image captures a dramatic moment of struggle between the raccoon and the bird.

Reading Lamport's "How to Make a Correct Multiprocess Program Execute Correctly on a Multiprocessor" (1996).

The same here when I see your bird photos! Already saved that one looking at a great heron (I think?) from some distance. Planning to practice some watercolors with that one!

🐄 Flora and sylva.
London, 1903-05.

[Source]

Illustration titled "Flora and sylva, London, 1903-05," depicting a botanical drawing of Lælio-Cattleya Rex orchid. The image features two large orchid flowers with delicate white petals and ruffled purple lips with orange centers. The orchid's long green leaves and a partially opened bud accompany the blooms. The detailed, naturalistic rendering emphasizes the flower’s intricate textures and colors. Despite the "cattle" keyword, the focus is on the cattleya orchid, a notable species in botanical studies. The soft, muted background highlights the plant’s form, characteristic of early 20th-century botanical illustrations.

It took me a while to realize what was going on the first time I saw a group like that. Girls go out too, normally with balloons and the bride has her veil. And they normally parade crowded touristic places. There's no room for shyness 😅
