H for me (but so many good candidates)! I love the strong colors and the themes of resilience, balance and strength. "Water flows ... A drop might seem negligible, but over centuries a stream is powerful enough to sculpt mountain ranges." www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...
Fantastic soundtrack by Hania Rani. Such a lovely film and a favorite at Cannes in 2025. And one of the best opening lines: “In 6th grade, Nora was told to write an essay as if she was an object ...” Norwegian classic with Stellan Skarsgård! www.criterion.com/films/35497-...
Sobey Longlist Circumpolar 2026 recognizes work from Melaw Nakehk’o, Janet Nungnik, Annie Pillaktuaq, Krystle Silverfox, and Melissa Tremblett. www.gallery.ca/whats-on/sob... Baker Lake textiles always a fav, and couldn't be more amazed by Nungnik! www.inuitartfoundation.org/profiles/art...

Dryas octopetala. As beautiful and delicate as the original. These from the banks of the Horton River in the Northwest Territories.
Oh no! Sad to say, but looks like they downgraded the description in today’s version.
Bristlecone Pines in the Great Basin National Park (Wheeler Peak Grove). At 3000 - 5000 years old, some of the oldest living things on the planet.
