@msolga,
I should probably wake up a bit more before I go to this page. For a brief second I thought this was a seagull who crashed landed with its wings spread out like a plane which glided on an emergency landing.

Sorry little turtle mom. My bad. Thanks for the action shot Lady Olga! Very Happy

It's an easily made mistake, tsar.

olga, Dem two strong guys are probably fighting over some primo elephant turds. Don't fight, bugs. There's enough to go around! Thanks for the great picture, olga.

deb, A bit rodential looking, but definitely cute. Thanks, kid.

tsar,


tsar, I typed something. Then something weird happened with my computer. I think I told the guy holding the flamingo's nose to let to. I know I said that that's some terrific bug. Thanks for both.

Red coral. BTW, coral is terrific if you're playing 20 questions--animal, mineral, or vegetable. Animal. Bigger than a breadbox? No and yes. Etc. Another great one for 20 questions: A pearl. We aims to please.
