With the warm weather lately here in Washington, DC area, tulips all the sudden became in full bloom at Brookside Gardens.

Towering Douglas firs! 🙂
There are many woodland bison everywhere here in the north. In the spring and summer, they love to loiter on the roads, and drivers have to be very cautious of them, especially at night. Sometimes, a congregation of them will make the traffic wait. There’s no way you want to try to herd or nudge a bison, as they will charge if annoyed.
Try explaining that to your insurance. “I was just stopped on the road, minding my own business, when a bison came out of nowhere and ran full-tilt at my car …” Yup, okay.
So it makes sense to include one of these iconically northern animals …
… along with a snow sculpture of a muskox. Also notoriously bad-tempered, you do not want to upset them.
The snow sculpture looks much more docile, though, especially as it’s missing its horns. Very tempting for children, I think!
Despite that, the artist did quite a good job, don’t you think?
Happy Monday, happy week. 🦬

Riding in the forest – so lovely. 🙂
I love this snow sculpture! Very endearing.
In this area, we have brown and black bears, but you have to go much farther north to the Arctic to see the white polar bears.
Climate change has lead to some of the polar bears mating with grizzly bears and producing a sort of blond hybrid called a grolar.
