Great shots, and info, Jack.

Always appreciated your fascinating experiences with them, and your sharing of nuances of the different species, worldwide, including Russia.

Marten are among my favorite furries to draw, along with fox and the ultimate, wolverine.

The best hat in my life will always be the amazing contrasting , coloured marten that Trapped4ever, in SE Alaska, trapped and sent to Temple, to build. Every single time I wear it in town, I always get compliments on it. The hat of many colours, with three glossy dark tails draping down the back, against one bright orange hide portion , just in the back.

What gets me the most, with wolverine also, is that deep red-orange , to rich ivory toned necklace bling they have, even recognizable as a distinct colour and pattern in some species. I have such fun colouring in those designs, every time.

You make Fridays so special and unique, Jack .

You have created so many truly exceptional works of art .It is hard to chose an all time favorite .But for me this has to be some of the best up to this point The colors are stunning !!
