yamamanamaElizabeth raises monarch butterflies. The fifth batch hatches in late august and in september migrates south to Mexico, where they lay their eggs in April and die, and each batch migrates northward. You can tell the females from the males because the females have thicker wing veins and lack the scent glands on their hind wings.
Snail fur is an animal, specifically a type of hydra, that grows only on hermit crabs, never on the actual snail.
Moon snail feet don’t fit inside their shell and they’re very slimy.
There are spider crabs living on the New England coast but they’re nowhere as big as their Japanese brethren.
The rocky water tub had a bat star, even though they’re denizens of the Pacific Ocean. They had a few other starfish and we're not sure what species they are.
Hermit crabs have mouthparts consisting of scoopers and grabbers that are always in motion. Meredith used very scientific terms to describe them, Olivia said.
Sūrya (do not let autocorrect near this name. It is Sanskrit for sun, not Arabic for fascist hellhole that is pretty much North Korea with better public relations) was reading a book because it came with recommendations from Emily St. John Mandel. She sang in Verdi's Requiem a few weeks ago and sings in a chorus where she said that many works were written with women in mind and aren't just tenor parts transposed to soprano.
Gabriella’s dress was white with pale flowers and a pink ribbon and contrasted against the twilight sky.
The concert was a long one.
The music from Pirates of the Caribbean was suitably adventurous and piratey, and was arranged for orchestra and a smaller string ensemble.
Maurice Ravel's Une barque sur l'océan was set to a video of North Atlantic right whales, which are critically endangered mostly because of ship strikes and entanglement, but also unreliable food supply and noise and parasitic infections and toxic algae blooms caused by rising sea temperatures. There is a species that lives in the northern Pacific. There is a southern species that is doing a lot better, mostly because there isn't as much human activity in the far south.
Bernard Herrman's wife was a writer, and when they were dating, they'd take an hour long train ride and exchanged ideas. He suggested writing about a New England composer based on Charles Ives who wrote a cantata based on Moby-Dick and then decided that was too good idea to waste on a hypothetical. Anyways, if you want to write an opera, feel free to write one based on the life of Pope Alexander VI or on the Malacia Tapestry.
There was a church scene in New Bedford with a sermon about Jonah that was cut out along with a few lines for a men’s chorus playing crewmen. A drum interrupts their hornpipe, which struck me as more demented than jaunty.
Oceana by Stella Sung is a new work, featuring the songs of humpback whales, belugas, bearded seals, and dolphins as well as the sound of seismic air guns, shipping traffic, and industry, and depicts places that I know are not here, as they include things like whale sharks.
Song is important to sea mammals, as their vision is limited by the water.
They played La mer by Debussy, which I've already talked about.
Julia says that drawing people is a better hobby than staring at your phone. There was a man covered in tattoos: a skull samurai, thunderclouds and sky serpents, jungle idols and flowers, a witch with long fingers. Otherwise, an uneventful train ride.
burning question: what do you think the Great Bay Temple smells like?
