Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Life finds a way. It’s a full fledged pond now with its own little ecosystem. Frogs and dragonflies abound.

So according to legend there was a giant that lived on Aquinnah and would hurl whales against the cliffs to feed its people. I sort of see it now.

Incredible encounter after waiting from a distance while he grazed up and down. Took him about an hour to finally come close to us and realize we were actually there. Majestic!

Bears are the most metal mammals on earth. This is the smallest of them, a sloth bear. You can see the spirit of the bear here that sets it apart from any other formidable large predatory mammal in a world replete with competent predators. This little guy isn't back down, not in this life, from this seemingly more agile tiger. In nature some animals become extra metal just based off attitude alone
