Oh, what a beautiful picture Barman. I'm so glad your daughter and hubs are having a wonderful time. Geeze, it must have taken them at least 12 hrs. to arrive at the west coast of Canada...no....Did they make any stop overs:)
Oh Barman, in my life time of living near the mountains and growing up with them as my playground I have become a bit of a crusty old biddy when it comes to tourists photographing wild life. Lucky your daughter was careful

your so right, we see it here in Algonquin Park, tourist are just way to close and have noooooooo idea just how fast an animal can move and what they can do....especially if their babies are around.

No kidding, they make great pics indeed and Barmans daughter has a keeper there I am envious but I could never do that.

Amazing photos. Do you have any idea how hard would be not only to find any of these animals to photograph in the first place, but then to actually get a great photo of one as well? To find a timber wolf and a bald eagle? Wow! Never mind a bear.
I would never get that close to a wild bear. When we were on our holidays through the Rockies my kids kept saying ‘ I hope we see a bear’ and I kept saying, ‘as long as we are far enough away from it and heading in the other direction’.

Barman your daughter is a natural, those pictures are National Geographic worthy. Amazin!
Grouse Mountain is near Vancouver, I believe there is a ski hill there. Never been and pulling that info out of my.... small brain
Total brain size and the volume of several brain parts were compared in male and female ranch mink of varying age and body size in an attempt to quantify postnatal maturation and growth processes in this altricial species. Volumes of fresh whole brains and of different brain parts were calculated from prepared histological sections from juvenile (2- to 3-month-oId), subadult (5-month-old), and adult (older than 7 months) individuals. Allometrical calculations were performed on the basis of body weight. Changes in size of different parts of the brain obtained to different degrees were found to be dependent on age but independent of body size. From the juvenile stage to the subadult stage, total brain size remains unchanged, although most major brain parts increase in size, while the grey matter of the isocortex decreases. During subsequent development from subadult to adult, total brain size evidently decreases. Within the brain all major structures also decrease in size, except for the medulla oblongata and the mesencephalon, which remains relatively stable in size. The grey matter of the isocortex shows the greatest decrease, followed by the allocortex and corpus striatum, the cerebellum, the white matter of the isocortex, and the diencepha-Ion. Thus, an unusual but evident 'overshoot' in size of the total brain and certain parts apparently occurs in this species before adulthood is reached. This phenomenon is discussed in connection with size changes concomitant with domestication as well as with cageing of individuals and with postnatal and seasonal size changes known from some soricid species as the so-called Dehnel phenomenon.

um ok...
what about the "pre seniors brain"??
