Enya has released a new album! Woohoo!

Long time readers of this blog will know that one of my favorite musical artists is Enya. I discovered today that she has a new album, Dark Sky Island, out just two days ago on 11/20/2015.

Although I like most of her songs, I see on iTunes that The Humming and Echoes In Rain are the most popular so far. Listening to samples of those, I see that they are more characteristic of her most popular top 40 radio releases from the past. Of course, I love them.

Close behind those are So I Could Find My Way and Even In The Shadows.

An interesting note I saw about this is from the Editor’s Notes on iTunes that says The Loxian Gate is “…an anthem sung in Loxian — a fictional language invented just for her.”

It is available on iTunes, where it has 237 five-star ratings out of 252 as of this writing, and Amazon, where it has 84% five-star ratings. I will put links below.

Check out these timber wolf images:

Arctic & Timber Wolf Habitat

"There are two Arctic, and two Timber Wolves that live in this 3.5 acre habitat. Newly rescued Wolves are placed in introduction areas adjacent to this habitat, so they can spend some time getting used to the sights and sounds of the Sanctuary. Once new Wolves feel comfortable with their surroundings, and have had a chance to meet the other Wolves through their enclosure fence, they are released to roam and live freely within the habitat. Wolves are highly social animals and live in Packs with one Alpha Male and one Alpha Female leading the rest of the Pack. Some of the Wolves in this habitat weigh as much as 140 pounds, and can live up to 15 years in captivity." Wild Animal Sanctuary, September 1, 2012

The Eastern Timber Wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) was the first subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) to be recognized in the United States. Canis lupus lycaon inhabited the eastern portions of the United States and southeastern parts of Canada. The Eastern Wolf is smaller than the Gray Wolf. It has a pale greyish-brown pelt. The back and the sides are covered with long, black hairs. Behind the ears, there is a slight reddish color.
