First walk on the local mountain this afternoon. Saw a little buddy.

Disappointed how far I could not go with my foot. Checked my steps for yesterday and apparently walking from airport terminal to terminal adds up: 3.1 miles vs. I usually do a half, so that might also be why my foot aches today. 🙄

Travelled to visit an art gallery that had a collection of Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman’s work. Early (age 14) stuff up through recent years. He’s 94 and still painting.

The gallery was mostly empty on a Friday morning. The curator of the exhibit was there and asked if I wanted a tour - hell yes! So awesome to see not only the paintings but to also hear the thoughts and process that went into how they were displayed - order, groups, position within the exhibit…. if you stood in a specific spot, you could see 4 paintings that featured trees that spanned across decades of Bateman’s life, all slightly different, but similar in theme and colors.

Here’s a page from Bateman’s website where he talks about his inspiration and techniques: http://robertbateman.ca/art/rbop/rbatemanonpainting.html

Rare sighting of a wild Dozercus. Looks to be carrying an offspring.
