❤️ & totally agree with this 1860 quote - "I find Penguins at present the only comfort in life. One feels everything in the world so sympathetically ridiculous; one can’t be angry when one looks at a Penguin." John Ruskin, English polymath and writer

Emperor penguin walks with its juvenile through the Antarctic colony 🐧❄️

This vibrant woodblock print by the renowned artist Bakufu Ohno (1888–1976) depicts three red sea bream (tai) swimming gracefully among underwater rock formations. In Japanese culture, the red sea bream is a celebrated symbol of good fortune and longevity, often served at weddings and auspicious occasions. The two larger fish occupy the upper and middle sections of the composition, while a smaller one swims near the craggy, lichen-covered rocks at the bottom. Ohno’s mastery of the shin-hanga style is evident in the delicate color gradations on the fishes' scales, which transition from a deep, rosy red near the fins to a pale, silvery pink along the bellies. Tiny blue speckles adorn their backs, mimicking the natural shimmer of the species. The surrounding water is rendered in a soft, atmospheric cream tone, with delicate white tubular sea anemones or corals emerging from the dark, layered rocks. The artist’s signature and seal are visible in the upper left corner, completing this elegant and serene study of marine life.

"Macquarie Island is the ONLY piece of land on the planet formed completely from ocean floor. The sub-antarctic island has a unique geology where the Earth's mantle is exposed above sea level. It is also home to a large variety of wildlife, including thousands of seals and millions of penguins."

Wow, very interesting and sad.

"Penguins may seem very different from other birds that we know, but they have all the key characteristics of a bird. They are warm-blooded vertebrates, have feathers and forelimbs modified into wings, have a four-chambered heart, and lay hard-shelled eggs."
