When is the last time in modern years (since more has been found out about the intelligence of cetaceans) that you’ve seen either of those things done to train orcas?  Oh, never? That’s because it doesn’t happen.  If these elephants are performing for any company I’m familiar with, they are abused on a daily basis.  Orcas are not.</p> </blockquote> <p>But we’re using all of these animals for OUR entertainment. In both instances they don’t necessarily have a choice. They were plucked from their habitats, their homes, and forced to do this. Yes, the orcas are treated better than the elephants but that doesn’t mean that its right. </p></blockquote>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50685302990http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50685302990Fri, 17 May 2013 19:28:44 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aa4709d713ed3d54d74dbbee6e23f51f/tumblr_mmyufjMu3P1r9wkjno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Working/trabajando/lapageria G.MacKinnon</p>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50685126607http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50685126607Fri, 17 May 2013 19:26:06 -0400illustrationbotanical artChileanlapageriadrawing<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5968a01d054bb6df0e30493b09891ce8/tumblr_mmnujsGROu1r9wkjno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lapageria rosea 💚</p>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50210403053http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50210403053Sat, 11 May 2013 20:55:04 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8df47ec65b7d2555d034b9d67db5567e/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/49c12576ec9b135ecd064615c6733632/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/028f160d57b9c322e62624d0b8bc8501/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9b41507ad9edd7f5d396c05cbfb8b483/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6f1423d14e88733928ce165adcb3f726/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d3ddbbff6c0e1938f3f7868ff4164782/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e26a85413cb076b7e88b39890a3950c4/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e621069dca28a8f4cc5133c2443db7d2/tumblr_mjzp8fMuf51r0i205o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://myampgoesto11.tumblr.com/post/45886987531/beautifully-designed-traditional-japanese-kanzashi" target="_blank">myampgoesto11</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Beautifully designed traditional Japanese Kanzashi hair ornaments by <a href="http://sakaefly.exblog.jp" target="_blank">Sakae</a></strong></p> </blockquote>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50145950764http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/50145950764Sat, 11 May 2013 01:25:33 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3786872086d724bcaa4c710ab5d2be02/tumblr_mm5izptPMW1r9wkjno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/49413670425http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/49413670425Wed, 01 May 2013 23:28:37 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0943a99019136e1558f227a3ad5be33d/tumblr_mm5i0v3jLV1r9wkjno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/49412159785http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/49412159785Wed, 01 May 2013 23:07:42 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e0552b8a394384f3e2e076ddca779deb/tumblr_mld88brx9y1rn3gulo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/384b6b6709eee322b8ba9cd5c5c0c33c/tumblr_mld88brx9y1rn3gulo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a905a38df0d699d02226f4c640ce1696/tumblr_mld88brx9y1rn3gulo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f5520b84019ba940cb423b7bc85e26dc/tumblr_mld88brx9y1rn3gulo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4b13821a4271b33730572f4771ed9201/tumblr_mld88brx9y1rn3gulo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://smithsonianlibraries.tumblr.com/post/48299189982/the-cherry-blossoms-are-fading-but-the-tulips-are" target="_blank">smithsonianlibraries</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The cherry blossoms are fading, but the tulips are starting to bloom here in DC, and in our <a href="http://www.sil.si.edu/imagegalaxy/imageGalaxy_collResult.cfm?term=Seed%20and%20Nursery%20Catalogs" target="_blank">seed and nursery catalog collection</a>.</p> </blockquote> <p>Beautiful!</p>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/49411572340http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/49411572340Wed, 01 May 2013 23:00:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d710696b679df5bcabe16ba2f4224b09/tumblr_ml0e3wSCrC1r9wkjno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/47569285392http://minaturalismo.tumblr.com/post/47569285392Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:21:32 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc9794d465cb8c09292beb22de3b8970/tumblr_mksmpgTyHI1r9wkjno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Philesia magellanica, work in progress.
