Oh, no! I missed National Ice Cream Day!

"The third Sunday in July is National Ice Cream Day the United States.  It was established by Congress and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, who also declared the entire month of July as National Ice Cream Month."

Oh, good.  That means I can eat some ice cream right now, because we are still at the peak of summer heat (which was the whole point).  Yes, of course I have some ice cream in my freezer.  My favorite is Coyote Tracks from Schnucks, a grocery store near me.

Animal: Portraits of Eighty-Eight Animals & One Shy Enchanted Boy ~ by Tein Lucasson, 2022, animal photography, 9/10
What would an animal look like if it were a human?  The question is actually a contradiction in terms, and Tein Lucasson's answer is as humorous as it is creative.  With digital photo technology, he combines pet portraits with human poses, celebrating each animal's unique personality, while drawing on his passion for costume and art history.  Open up Animal and discover a raccoon sporting a sailor's suit, an aristocratic pig enthroned above a roulette table, and a giraffe grinning in its thick wool sweater.  (And if you don't speak English, each page has translations in English, German, and Italian.)
