This little badger has found a haul of mushrooms on his autumn evening amble. You can find this original drawing in my Folksy shop... folksy.com/find/item/87... #Badger #AnimalArt #OriginalArt #Drawing #ColourPencil #Artwork #ArtFromScotland #GiftIdeas #ShopIndy #WildlifeArt #bsnm

A postcard size colour drawing of a little badger who has found a patch of mushrooms.
Badgers are great diggers, and natural architects. They can craft homes of tunnel networks, or setts, which can run hundreds of metres long.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.
Colour pencil on white acid free artist watercolour paper (postcard size).
Approximately 4 by 6 inches (10.16 x 15.24 cm) will fit into a standard 4 by 6 inch photo frame.

The rise in inflation on everyday goods came entirely from Trump’s tariffs, New York Fed research found. New analysis shows the tariffs raised consumer prices by 2.9% by February. Without the tariffs, prices on the goods studied would’ve fallen.

Color photo of a medium haired dilute tortie cat that seems to have Persian blood because it’s face is quite flat. It is looking up at the camera with its permanently, surprised expression. It’s sitting on top of the pink carpeted lid of a cream colored toilet. The tank of the toilet has a matching pink carpeted cover.

Cranes in Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. Photography by Toru Kona on 500px

Standing side-by-side upon a blanket of pristine Hokkaido snow in Kushiro, a pair of red-crowned cranes (tancho) throw their beaks to the winter sky in a synchronized, trumpeting courtship duet. Their arched necks and gleaming crimson crowns (tan) project a striking graphic silhouette, their jet-black secondary feathers fanning outward like flared kimono sleeves against their snow-white plumage. In the soft-focus background, another crane stands in quiet witness across the frozen field. The photograph captures an electrifying, elemental sensory experience: the piercing, clarion bugle of their call echoing across sub-zero wetlands, steam condensing instantly into mist from open beaks, the dry rustle of wind-ruffled plumage, the blinding glare of winter light reflected off fresh powder, and the sharp, freezing bite of northern air settled over the marsh. Captured in Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido, by photographer Toru Kona, this scene celebrates Japan’s most sacred avian icon in its ancestral winter sanctuary. Known to the indigenous Ainu people as Sarurun Kamuy (God of the Marsh), the red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) has long endured as a cornerstone of Japanese cultural iconography, symbolizing longevity, good fortune, and marital fidelity due to its lifelong pair-bonding. From Heian-period court textiles and Edo-period gold leaf screens (byōbu) by masters like Ogata Kōrin to modern heraldry and ceremonial origami, the crane’s posture is woven into the nation's visual heritage. Once feared extinct in Japan during the early twentieth century, a small resident population was rediscovered in the un-freezing spring-fed reed beds of Kushiro Marsh and saved through decades of local community winter-feeding programs.

Illustration from 1849 showing two wrens perched on a tree trunk and branch. The upper bird has dark brown plumage with white spots and a long, slender curved beak. The lower bird features rich brown feathers with subtle patterning and a similarly curved beak. Both birds have sharp claws gripping the wood. Sparse green leaves grow from small branches near the birds. The title "CERTHINÆ" appears above, with scientific names "SALPORNIS spilonota" and "CAULODROMUS Gracei" at the bottom, indicating the species depicted. The style is detailed and naturalistic, typical of 19th-century ornithological plates.
