CARNIVALERT #7

Varkam has posted The Carnival of the Liberals #15, the carnival of...well, liberals, on Neural Gourmet. This is a competitive blog carnival that selects their ten favorite posts.
Meanwhile, Patrick of The Hawk Owl's Nest took a break from watching the World Cup to post edition #26 of I and the Bird, the carnival of birds and the people they fascinate.
Last of all, it's Tangled Bank, the Carnival of the Life Sciences, which went up on Centrerion.

Meanwhile, in the corporeal world, Art of the Animal Kingdom XI just opened at The Bennington Center for the Arts in Bennington, Vermont. This is New England's premier Wildlife Art Show, and includes work from 61 of the world's best practitioners of the genre. The show runs through the end of July. In August, I look forward to participating in the BCFTA's American Artists Abroad exhibition, and once again in this fall's opening of The Society of Animal Artists' annual touring show, Art & the Animal.

Down in Shreveport, Louisiana, the touring 11-person show, Art of the Rainforest has opened in its latest venue, the R.W. Norton Art Foundation. It runs through July 23, followed by venues in Denver, Colorado and Spartanburg, South Carolina.
