Since it's #NegroniWeek, I mixed one up tonight after heading out to see a play with my wife. This is a variation called "Eeyore's Requiem", which the creator says was inspired by "the most bitter character in literature". Ups the ante with the addition of a bit of Cynar and Fernet Branca. Very tasty. (Also, since I'm mixing this at home, tossed a ducat or two at the Slow Food Foundation, which a participating bar would have done.) #drinks #photography #cocktail #tastybeverage

No, the fish isn't leaping into his mouth. This Great Blue Heron is flipping its catch around to reorient it before gulping it down. #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #nature #masswildlife #halifax #massachusetts #wildmassachusetts #naturalmassachusetts #massachusettswildlife
