The
Vancouver Library is nothing short of outstanding. It looks like a
library but feels like a museum. It is a living, breathing institution
and houses almost any kind of resource on any topic you could imagine,
updating their information every day. I took this picture not knowing
that they use a similar picture and angle on their website. The library
was also used in the TV series Fringe as the "Fringe Division
Headquarters".
Scientists
have just discovered this animal that diverged in evolution. The
Girrfopotamus. It is a semi-aquatic sociable creature. It's excellent
eyesight helps it locate it's favorite food, low hanging Acacia leaves
(when standing upright) or it's second best, Savannah grass (when lying
down). It's barrel-like body secretes oil that prevents it's delicate
skin from sun-burn and where it can't reach to scratch or clean, it's
buddy bird the red-billed Oxpecker is there to lend a helping
beak...(Actually, my nephew Thijs asked me to draw him some animals and I
asked him to name two.)
Here's
my tribute to Dolphy who shared not only his brand of humor with the
world but a generous heart that gave the underprivileged a fighting
chance at life.
